Early Buildings of Saint Francis Hospital, Hartford, Connecticut

This video focuses on the buildings of Saint Francis Hospital that were built before the early 1970s, some of which survive and some of which are lost. These include the old Chinese Education Mission and Saint Thomas Seminary buildings on Collins Street that were later demolished. I also talk about the former National Fire Insurance Company Building on Farmington Avenue that the hospital acquired in the 1970s and the historic Collins and Dunham Houses once stood there. I end by briefly mentioning the hospital’s more recent buildings, including the parking garage currently under construction. This video is in memory of Gary Alan Sterner (1938-2023). #hartford #hartfordct #catholic #hospital #hospitals #connecticut #lostbuildings #historywithdansterner Check out My Books (These are links to Amazon and as an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases): A Guide to Historic Hartford, Connecticut: Vanished Downtown Hartford: Some of the images in this video are from the collections of the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History, including: Saint Francis Hospital and Bishops residence, Collins Street and Woodland Street, Hartford :17406 Accession number Dillon Memorial Building, Saint Francis Hospital, Hartford, Connecticut Accession number Bowen School for Boys :17406 Accession number Saint Francis Hospital & Hartford postcards Accession number Atwood Collins Accession number Emily Collins Scranton, Atwood Collins, and Elinor Collins Mitchell # Accession number Atwood Collins house, 1010 Asylum Avenue, Hartford :19901 Accession number Atwood Collins barn, 1010 Asylum Avenue, Hartford :19902 Accession number Atwood Collins house in winter, 1010 Asylum Avenue, Hartford :14895 Accession number Rhododendron bushes in front of the Atwood Collins house, Asylum Avenue, Hartford :14893 Accession number Dunham House, 1030 Asylum Avenue, Hartford Accession number House for Alice E.
