This video is about what once existed on a block of Asylum Street in Hartford, CT where the City Place office towers were built in the 1980s. This included the house where J. P. Morgan was born, the sites of many historic Hartford businesses (including music stores, Turkish baths, bakeries and clothing stores), and a controversial mural that sparked public debate in the 1970s.
New Video: Before City Place (Old Asylum Street in Hartford, Connecticut)
I am totally interested in old Hartford and it’s historical buildings including th factories that curounded the city. The downtown area with all the movie theaters, shopping at G Fox, Brown Thompson, learners to name a few, having lunch at one of the multiple lunch counters. Lerners. Woolworth s G Fox, white Castle. Those were the days my friend.
