Show House was first introduced to the Junior League of Hartford by Mary Lynn Gorman, now a JLH Sustainer, who had firsthand experience with a Junior League Show House in Ohio. This introduction resulted in the Show House of 1979 and began a successful history of THIRTEEN Show Houses that have collectively raised more than $1.35 million toward the mission of the JLH. Every Show House has generated positive net proceeds. Some houses even generated bonus revenue from the sale of the house itself. The table below provides a little information about each of the previous Show Houses.
