Lost Hartford: Before the Phoenix Mutual "Boat" Building

Brilliant! Every one of these. Exhaustively researched and terrific photos.

Thanks!

Another excellent presentation! Interesting to note, in the mid 60's, the walkway between the Phoenix building and Constitution Plaza was sometimes used a "stage" for certain special performances. One I recall vividly, was "the dancing waters ." It was similar, but not as large in scope as the Bellagio Hotel water show Vegas. Every time I've seen the Bellagio show, my mind often returns the water walkway show in Hartford. Walking by the Poultry Store, you could always hear the chickens clucking away...

Love the video. Can’t believe how downtown Hartford changed so much.

I wonder if you could do a video of the Riverfront walkway, along the Phoenix Building and State Street to the edge of the river and Founders Bridge with the walking path north and south of the river

[@historywithdansterner263]

I have thought about doing "walk videos" like that. I'm going to look into that. Thanks!

@@historywithdansterner263 I have walking videos on my page but of course I’m not an historian like you. lol

Had to revisit this… before the connection to Mortensen Plaza

[@junkandthangs]

Mortensen Plaza would be a nice video to do
