The historic downtown Hotel Bond reigned as the grandest hotel in Hartford during its heyday in the 1920s and '30s.
Built by hotelier Harry S. Bond in two stages, the first section, a six-story block, was completed in 1913.
A 1921 grand reopening unveiled the second section, an attached 12-story block with an
elegant 5,000 sq.ft. penthouse Grand Ballroom. The 1950s saw the decline of The Bond
as it faced competition from the new Statler hotel. In 1965 the building was sold to
the Catholic Archdiocese and used as Saint Francis Hospital School of Nursing.
