This is the first of a series of three videos about Pearl Street in Hartford. Here I cover the north side of Pearl, between Main & Trumbull Streets. I talk about the Phoenix Fire Insurance Building (later owned by Connecticut General Life Insurance), which was designed by H. H. Richardson,; the Mechanics Bank Savings Bank; the Corning Building; the mansard-roofed Halls of Record (built in 1853 and demolished in 1940) and others.
