Great City..... What year was that 15ish story old spire building constructed?

Any current projects/proposals?

Hartford has some great buildings especially the gold coloured building.

I'm not sure, but I think you are referring to this building, the Traveleres Tower. It was built in 1919, stands 527 feet tall and contains 34 floors.

When built, it was the 7th tallest building in the world and the tallest office building outside New York City.

Darrel, have you ever heard about Reverend Alfred Johnson, who lived in Hartford ? He was a friend of mine ! I knew him when he and his wife, Mary Johnson , came in a cruise to Rio , in...well, that was a long time ago, in 1972 !

Looks like a 300.000 inhabitants US city ehhe. What's the population?

Looks interesting though, must be the biggest city in Connecticut, right?
