I have a fondness for the City; the city has so much built infrastructure that is really quite beautiful. Hartford has tremendous potential to benefit its residents with just a few careful investments.
There's a lot of images for Ann & High Streets and the area around the flat iron and Keeney Tower, but most of it is owned by institutions like the Hartford History Center and the CT Historical Society and I lack the resources to pay $100s for permission to use each image. I'm doing what I can using images that are free, but its only a fraction of what I'd love to share with everyone.
Can you cover the bond hotel? I’ve been trying to find more info on it, but only hear rumors. I know the building is really old, and I bought a few old postcards but don’t know where else to look for info.
What I do know is the guy who owned the Bond Hotel lived out in Canton on Trailsend Drive off US 44. He died in 1935. The house is still there, and a body of water in town is named after him, Bond Pond.
Do you (or anyone else) have access to the Hartford Times archives? Apparently this material was not well cared for after the Times stopped printing in 1976. I heard it was rather haphazardly moved around to various locations in CT and eventually returned to Hartford.
Great work I hope to one day see those pics but the ones you've been able to share are awesome and great in itself thank you for compiling and sharing what you've been able to retrieve I appreciate your work 😊 👌🏻💯

My dad worked at the Boat Building from 1963-1966. Sometimes I joined him for lunch at the Marble Pillar. Great place. Too bad it's gone. :(
Love history especially about Hartford since I grew up there. How different it was back then...compared to nowadays...

I believe the Hartford Times collection is at the Hartford History Center at the Hartford Public Library.

I have 150th anniversary copies of the Hartford Times. I'll give you a copy if you can get ahold of me.
I'm no expert, but it seems, at some point, the architecture gets worse and worse.
