DescriptionInterior of the lobby of the Heublein Hotel. Two men in suits stand behind the registration desk. A man wearing an overcoat and top hat and holding a cigar and a woman in a large hat and a fur jacket are in front of the desk. The man in uniform in the background appears to be a bellboy. The wire cage beside him is probably an elevator. Most men have mustaches. The small boy in boots, overcoat and cap, holding a pile of newspapers, is probably a newsboy. Light fixtures, at least some of them electric, hang from ceiling and walls. The head of a white-tailed deer and several framed prints, including a poster for the New Haven Steamboat Company, hang on the walls. Signs read: "Taxi-Cab / Telephone 1638" "Hartford Weekly Guide" "Hotel Annex / Barber Shop / Next Door."
NotesSubject Note: The Heublein Hotel was located at 98 Wells Street, at the corner of Gold Street. It was demolished in 1965.Status
