The Horace Bushnell Memorial Hall opened January 13, 1930. It was built by Dotha Bushnell Hillyer as a "living memorial" to her father, the Reverend Dr. Horace Bushnell (1802-1876), esteemed Hartford minister, theologian, philosopher and civic leader.Designed by the renowned architectural firm of Corbett, Harrison and MacMurray, designers of New York's Radio City Music Hall, The Bushnell vividly contrasts a traditional Georgian Revival exterior with a rich Art Deco interior.
