Bragg-Holland House (1890)

As featured yesterday, J. Merrick Bragg, a prominent East Hartford builder, and Horatio Hardendorf, a Hartford resident, developed four adjacent lots on Olmstead Street in East Hartford, each quit-claiming two of the four properties to the other in 1890. Hardendorf took the two central houses, while Bragg took the two outer ones, 85 Olmstead Street and 95 Olmstead Street (pictured above). He sold No. 85 immediately and No. 95 a year later in 1891 to Charles T. Holland of Boston, who briefly lived in East Hartford.
