DescriptionFourteen photographs, many of them depicting buildings in Hartford, Connecticut, including the Travelers Tower, Union Station, what is probably CityPlace, the demolition of the Hotel Hartford, and the Hartford Stage Company building with One Corporate Center behind it. Alexander Calder's "Stegosaurus" sculpture is shown, as are highway overpasses, graffiti reading "Fear City," and the infrastructure below the elevated railroad tracks on Capitol Avenue. Other photographs include the reflection of a building (possibly Union Station) in a puddle of water and the reflections of buildings in the windows of another building (possibly One Financial Plaza).
