The Capewell Company in Hartford, CT made horseshoe nails. Not too much call for these things anymore. :cry: This was their office building, about to be rehabilitated, thankfully. It's a gorgeous example of late 18th century architecture in Hartford.

The exterior will be restored to its original condition. A contractor who rehabilitates many buildings in Hartford will be using it for his office along with one or two other businesses. We will be going inside in a couple of weeks to inspect the interior. I told the rapper that and to not worry about the neighborhood anymore. ;)

South Green neighborhood. It's off Charter Oak Ave., down near the Polish National Home, not too far from the Colt Building.
