Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Proceedings at the Dedication of Charter Oak Hall: Upon the South Meadow Grounds of Col. Samuel Colt; With the Address on the Occasion by Messers; Hamersley, Stuart, and Deming
On the evening of May the sixth, under circumstances highly novel and imposing, the new Hall, which has been recently constructed by Col. Samuel Colt in connection with his Armory, and other improvements upon the South Meadows in Hartford, was duly dedicated. No occasion of its kind ever passed off more happily than this - and none, in Hartford, was ever so pleasantly associated with the vital interests of capital and labor, and with the material growth, prosperity, and good fortune of the city.
The building which contains the Hall, is a lofty structure of brick, triangular in form, and is situated just west of the Armory of Col. Colt at the corner of Huyshope and Charter Oak Avenues - upon a conspicuous and beautiful spot in the valley of the Connecticut. A faithful representation of it as it will appear when its extensions are completed, may be seen in the print opposite.
