This video is about Brown, Thomson & Company, a department store that existed in Hartford Connecticut from 1866 to 1969. I talk about the store’s history with a focus on the buildings the business occupied. I also talk about another store, the Bee Hive, which existed from 1847 until 1894, when it was absorbed by Brown Thomson’s.

    A fascinating history of the Brown Thomson company, the Cheney Building, and the development of that area. My mother’s great aunt worked as a seamstress for Brown, Thomson ad lived in an apartment in that building in the 1920s.
