The Hartford Times Building

The Hartford Times Building located on Prospect Street part of the Front Street Development Project Area- was designed in 1920 and served as the headquarters for a Hartford newspaper publisher. The paper went out of business in 1976 but the building remained and it is now getting a renovation sponsored by the Wadsworth Atheneum. The project will provide the Atheneum with 5 floors of project and office space. Willard Holmes, the executive director of the Atheneum said, ''We didn't want the Hartford Times building to become a condominium high rise,'' he said. ''So it's going to be great for us, it's going to allow us to expand, it's going to allow us to make our steady, determined march into the future and save a piece of architecture for Hartford, too.''
