My latest video is about how old buildings along Main Street, Arch Street, and Sheldon Street in Hartford were replaced by the massive Hartford Public Library and Ribicoff Federal Building/US Courthouse. Back in the mid-1800s there were commercial blocks, houses and a church here, as well as the bridge over the Park River. The bridge survives, but the river was buried under a highway and the Library was built above the highway.
