My latest video is about the forgotten history of the block of Asylum Street in Hartford where Black-Eyed Sally’s is located today. Did you know that grand Mansard-roofed buildings once stood here, or that Mark Twain’s bookbinder, what was once Hartford’s grandest hotel, one of the city’s oldest bakeries and a building erected by the founder of Travelers insurance were all once to be found here as well? Please watch my video to find out more about them!
