The Migeon Avenue Historic District is a historic district in Torrington, Connecticut that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.[1] It is located on the central portion of Migeon Avenue, and consists of nine historic houses built between 1890 and 1920 for some of Torrington's leading businessmen. The most prominent property is Laurelhurst, a Shingle Style architecture house built by Achille Migeon, which stands on an estate with landscaping by Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr.[2]
