Main Street looking North from Central Row, Hartford by Richard S. DeLamater.

View looking north on Main Street. The Old State House is immediately on the right, but is not visible. Tracks for horse cars are in the dirt street. Commercial buildings line the left side of the street. These include: Phoenix Bank, Thomas F. Duffey / Boots and Shoes, Jas. Daniels Hat Store, Brown & Gross, Clark and Booth / Printers, Office / of the / Evening Post, Hartford / County / Mutual / Fire / Insurance / Company, and R.G. Waterous / Hatter / Hats, Caps, & Furs / Gents / Furnishing Goods / The / corner Hat Store." Lamp posts and barrels are on the sidewalk. The Gothic tower of Christ Church is in the right background.

No less than three hat stores. My god. Can't go too far without a hat. If it blows off your head you mustn't walk more than a few yards without seeing the nearest store to buy a new one. Come buy your hats here!
