This video is about old days in Hartford, Connecticut when Frank’s Restaurant, the Majestic/E. M. Loews Theater, the Allyn Theater and the Allyn House Hotel stood on the block of Asylum Street between Trumbull Street and Ann Street that’s now the south side of the XL Center and Hartford 21 Building. This block is also where the house of Rev. T. C. Brownell, Episcopal Bishop and founder of Trinity College, was located.
