Barlow, Boce W., Jr., House - Hartford, Connecticut - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

"The Boce W. Barlow, Jr., House (built in 1926) is primarily significant as the home of a prominent leader of the black community in Hartford. During his long and distinguished career, which spans the full progressive sweep of twentieth century black history, Boce W. Barlow, Jr. (1915 - 2005 ), has had an impressive record of public service. As a lawyer, prosecutor, and judge, he worked for equal justice and assisted in the writing of Connecticut's pioneering civil rights laws. A practicing attorney in Hartford for almost 40 years, Barlow was the first African-American in the Connecticut judiciary and the first to be elected a state senator. Among his important accomplishments in the senate was the sponsorship of legislation which resulted in the creation of the Department of Community Affairs and the Department of Corrections." - National Register Nomination
