Скачать или смотреть The Story of the Lost Ely Mansions in Hartford, Connecticut

The Ely family homes stood on Main Street in Hartford, where the Capitol Prep Magnet School is today. They were built in 1811 and 1830-1832 by William Ely, a wealthy shipping merchant who had a town called Elyton named for him in Alabama. Elton was later absorbed into the city of Birmingham, but the Elyton Hotel in Birmingham and Ely Street in Hartford perpetuate his name today.
