The Hartford County Courthouse building, a three-story French Renaissance-style building (shown in an old postcard above), was designed by architect John C. Mead and stood at the corner of Trumbull and Allyn Streets in Hartford from 1885 until 1930. This is where the Peoples Bank Arena is located today. My latest Substack post contains anecdotes from 1912 about the lawyers hanging out in a dark room of the courthouse where they traded stories and lost track of their cigar butts.
