I know that most CT towns have a New England style with town green etc.
However I wonder if anyone knows of any towns in CT if Tudor architecture as a find it fascinating. A good town to compare against would be Scarsdale, NY, very old english. Gotta be at least some...

Hartford/West Hartford on either side of Prospect Ave. and around Elizabeth Park; New Haven off upper Whitney Ave.; Bridgeport/Fairfield along Brooklawn Ave. and around Brooklawn Country Club; and Waterbury Hillside above the UConn campus all have numerous examples of early-20th-century Tudor Revival. In smaller towns the rich bankers and factory owners pretty much seem to have 'played it safe' building Colonial Revival dwellings for themselves.

Greenwich has this style in its older neighborhoods as well. Jay

That's great I didn't know New Haven had it. How about downtowns in particular?

New Haven has got to be #1 in America for Tudor/Medieval English architecture in the downtown area. The Yale campus was redeveloped beginning in the 1860s in the Victorian Gothic style (one of the churches on the Green was even built in the 'Gothick' style as early as 1814), and in the 1930s they really went to town building an ersatz Oxford and Cambridge, largely from the designs of James Gamble Rogers. Don't know if there are statistics on gargoyles per capita anyplace, but I'm certain they would bear out my contention. Multiple carillons, too!

I know exactly what you're talking about (my husband is from Manhasset and there are A LOT of neighborhoods like that. That is one of the few things I like about that area that I HAVE NOT SEEN anywhere in CT. The above people mentioned some areas, but I don't think they are what you are talking about. Believe me, when I find that neighborhood, I'll let you know!!
