This view looks down Main Street in Hartford, Connecticut, and gives particular attention to the State Bank on the street. The caption card does not record a date, so the exact year is uncertain, but Main Street was the commercial heart of the city, and its bank buildings and storefronts reflect the downtown businesses that grew up around the state capital. The print comes from the Wittemann Collection, and its caption card notes the subjects as geography and banks. Viewers can compare the street's rows of masonry facades and signage with later photographs to judge how the block changed over time.
