"These homes aren't museums and are not for entering. There isn't a designated time to visit or a fee to pay. You can visit and see them from the street. A few years back the place wasn't fenced in and people used to enter them through the rear. The whole inside is collapsed."
"I walk the streets of Bridgeport often. I try to hit every neighborhood as often as I can. Once I heard about these homes, I knew I had to make my way over, but I had to build up my mileage to get there. They're about 3mi from my house, so I had to get strong enough to endure a 6mi walk. I spent most of thr covid pandemic doing just that. I felt so grateful to be able to view these homes. It's a very peaceful and solace space to visit. With the old Bridgeport smokestack looming in the backdrop, it's a real relic of an area. Thr houses are in as good a shape as you worked expect nearly 2 century old homes to be! I understand they're fenced up to protect but I so wished to be able to see and explore them more internally. They are quite a phenomenon to see."
