Lost Buildings of Pearl Street, Hartford Conn. (north side, between Main Street and Trumbull Street)

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.

The image of the Corning House and the Halls of Record is from the Connecticut State Library, PG 420, Taylor Collection of Early Hartford Photographs
