Old Washington Street school at the corner of New Britain ave and Washington.
Brendan
Ok OK. Is it West middle?
Kerri Provost
It’s not West Middle
Brendan
Is it Dwight?
Kerri Provost
You’re obviously just guessing every school in district. So, no more guesses from you today. Opening this up so that others have a shot of winning.
Brendan
I’m guessing old brownstone schools. I’ve run out of old brownstone schools.
Jennifer S.
The turquoise reminds me of Charter Oak Cultural Center for some reason. So, Charter Oak Cultural Center?
Kerri Provost
It’s not, but I see what you’re talking about. It’s not very close to Charter Oak Cultural Center.
Richard
It part of the new police station or what ever that complex is called over on High Street.
Kerri Provost
No, but I love the idea that the new police station would have a separate entrance for girls, lol.
Scott
Milner?
Kerri Provost
Not Milner.
Emily
Betances?
Kerri Provost
Not Betances. I don’t think anyone has guessed anything in the right neighborhood yet.
Jennifer S.
The Barnard Brown School on Main St
Kerri Provost
No, not Barnard Brown/Capital Prep
This is not centrally located
Richard
Maybe that old school on Albany Ave. near the Artist Collective.

Ok, so I’m going to go with Thomas J. McDonough Elementary School. First I found this (http://bit.ly/1jt5CcA) which indicated it has to be a school build rather early (book copyright is 1853, which seems extremely early). Then I used this piece on the HPL’s History Center site (http://hhc.hplct.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/A-Brief-History-Hartford-Schools.pdf) and looked for a school built in the 1800s. Seems to fit the bill.

Congrats!
It’s also visible on Google street view.
I’ll contact you about the fashion show tickets.

I see some people aren’t given a hard time if they guess three times…
