Last week's question was "Where Was this Building Located?" It was a bit of a tough one, and we only had one guess.

John Maloney commented, "That is the old Buena Vista golf area on Buena Vista Rd. now housing the Art League."

You're right, John! The official answer provided by the Noah Webster House & West Hartford Historical Society is: "This building is the caretaker’s residence at the West Hartford Country Club taken circa 1920. This club was abandoned in 1935 when its members joined a club in Newington. The town eventually took it over and named it Buena Vista."
