Before City Place: Old Asylum Street in Hartford, Connecticut 

This video is about what once existed on a block of Asylum Street in Hartford, CT where the City Place office towers were built in the 1980s. This included the house where J. P. Morgan was born, the sites of many historic Hartford businesses (including music stores, Turkish baths, bakeries and clothing stores), and a controversial mural that sparked public debate in the 1970s.
Check out my video about what once stood on the Pearl Street side of City Place: • The Hartford, Plimpton...
Also check out my video about the Allyn House Hotel, which stood across the street: • The Allyn House Hotel,...
