Hartford, Connecticut, 1960s

HartfordCT1960s_01_3000

A couple more from the collection of Hartford photos that Joe Sokola sent us, both probably taken around the same time, given the color casts, and both conveniently featuring what is now known as Travelers Tower, which should allow us to pinpoint the locations of the photos. Below, we can say for certain that the photographer was standing on Linden, looking northeast, with much of what we see in the photo still there. Above, we’re less certain, given how built-up the area is, but based on the shadows and the position of the Tower, we’re guessing it was taken from Grove Street, approaching the river. What do you see here?
