I’ve made a compilation of my videos about the history of Pearl Street in Hartford, which had great architecture and was called Hartford’s “Wall Street!” Its now lost buildings included banks and insurance companies, an early design by H. H. Richardson, the location of the city’s old fire bell, the telephone exchange (home of the “Hello Girls”), Plimpton’s, the Halls of Record, and much more! Check it out!
