Adjacent to south of the Hotel Capitol, on Main Street in Hartford, is a commercial block, called the McKone Block, built in the same year, 1875 (as indicated along the top of the building). Between the two structures is a parking lot where an eighteenth-century house once stood, at one time owned by the Hammersley family, which burned down in the 1970s.
