Tarnished Crown: New Britain Downtown, Post-War Follies

Tarnished Crown: New Britain Downtown, Post-War Follies

Once a beacon, New Britain Downtown now jostles for light post-World War II.

In the New Britain CT heart, Downtown stands - a post-WWII combatant. In 2016, the National Register of Historic Places marked it. Now, it buzzes with homes, even century-old apartments and churches catering to diverse immigrants. Glance toward Central Park, and you'll spot City Hall, relocated to the Russwin Hotel building's current residence. Downtown's churches run deep, their roots traceable to the 19th and early 20th centuries.
