This video is about the block of Market Street, between State Street and Talcott Street, where Constitution Plaza is today. Buildings that used to be here were the Farmers & Mechanics Bank, the Nolan Building (once the home of MIckey’s Villanova Restaurant), Charles G. Lincoln (importers of coffee), the site of the 1816 Stone Schoolhouse, the Clover Leaf Cafe, the American Theater, the Barbour Silver Company, the William Rogers Manufacturing Company (producers of silver plate), Hartford original Baptist Church of 1798, the Warburton Chapel and the onetime home of the Aetna Radiophone Corporation of America.
