My fourth article for Substack is about a 15-story office tower that stood on Main Street in Hartford from 1921 until it was demolished in 1974.

The third article for my Hartford Substack is about Gundlach’s jewelry store, which was located at 20 State Street from 1859 until 1927. Above is an 1860s view of buildings on State Street near the corner of Main Street. The white awning on the far right (on the ground floor of the three-story building) reads “Deming & Gundlach.” The building was later raised to four stories. It was torn down in the 1980s to make way for the State House Square development (Picture Source: Connecticut Museum of Culture and History, Accession number 1956.84.135)

The second article for my Substack called “Remembering Old Hartford” is a history of the Hotel Heublein.

I have launched a Substack newsletter where I will share information about Hartford history. The subscription is absolutely free, but there is also a paid subscription for those who want to support me and receive additional content. The Substack is called “Remembering Old Hartford” and my first article is about the city’s lost Daly Theater, which opened in 1914. It replaced an earlier house on the site that was built in 1837.

Today is the 17th anniversary of historicbuildingsct.com! That’s 4,450 posts covering 140 out of the state’s 169 municipalities!
