NotesSubject Note: The Second North District School Building was designed by Cook, Hapgood, and Company and erected in 1891. It was later used by the Hartford Board of Education. An ill-advised attempt to renovate the building in 2010 led to its collapse. It was rebuilt in the same style to house Hartford's Public Safety complex.On View
