Historic house in Connecticut, United States
Esperanza is a historic country estate at 511 Town Hill Road in New Hartford, Connecticut. Built about 1835 and extensively enlarged and restyled in 1893, it is a high-quality example of Colonial Revival architecture on an original Greek Revival frame. Julie Palmer Smith (sometimes referred to as Julia Palmer Smith), one of its original owners, was a noted author of Victorian romance novels. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002,[1] at which time it remained in the hands of Smith descendants.
