Hartford (The Case, Lockwood & Brainard Company/Hartford Press) 1912. The architectural firm of Carrére & Hastings was one of the most important Beaux-Arts firms working in America in the late 19th and early 20th century. Among their most important works were the Ponce de León Hotel and the Alcazar Hotel (now the Lightner Museum) in St. Augustine, Florida, the House and Senate office buildings in Washington, D.C., and the New York Public Library. This report was Carrére's final work of city planning as shortly after the completion of this work and before its official publication, he died in an automobile and streetcar accident.
