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)
