I was born in Hartford since that's where all the hospitals were. From a distance it looks pleasant enough.

Riverfront Plaza (Convention Center left, Science Center has the funky roofline)


Capitol Building


Old State House (1796)


Bushnell Park


Soldier's & Sailor's Memorial Arch


Here are some pics from around my 'hood. Largest historic district in CT (none of our current houses are historically significant). It was really tough to narrow it down to a select few!

Silas Robbins House-owner Johnson & Robbins Seed Co. (company my great, great grandfather worked for and eventually bought)


Joseph Webb House-George Washington met French Gen. Rochambeau to plan campaign to victory in Yorktown.


Silas Deane House-home of Silas Deane, Continental Congress


George Hubbard House-cir. 1690 oldest in town.


Cove Warehouse-Operational from 1650-1830.
