The Hartford Times, Hartford, CT - Newspaper Headquarters on Waymarking.com

From Hartford Landmark Web Page: (visit link)
Founded in 1826, the Hartford Times daily newspaper was the organ of the Democratic party in its early years. Over the years, the Times beautiful portico was the site of campaign speeches of Presidents Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy and Johnson. The six Ionic green granite columns were salvaged from the demolition of New York's Madison Square Church. The newspaper folded 1976 and the original ceremonial stairway that led up to the terrace was removed in 1981.

The Hartford Times published from 1817 until 1976.

The building is currently being renovated as an annex of the nation's oldest public art museum, Wadsworth Atheneum. Currently there are concerns about the rising costs of the renovation and as a result the renovation is going very slowly.

It would be interesting to see the progress of the renovation through waymark visit photographs.
