A: Morgan Street. Visit the history section of the HPD site for more information.

Q: Ground was broken May 31 for Adriaen's Landing, an ambitious combination of retail, residential, and convention-center development on Hartford's riverfront. Everyone who followed the news coverage of the event knows that Adriaen is Dutch explorer Adriaen Block, who sailed up the Connecticut River in 1614. The Dutch eventually established a trading post on the Hartford riverfront. What was the post called - and what current street is named after it?

A: Kudos to Lynn Ferrari, who writes that "Dutch trader Jacob van Curler established a trading post at the mouth of the Park River called 'House of Hope.' This is the area now known as Dutch Point. I believe that Huyshope Avenue comes from that name." She's right. In Dutch, "House of Hope" is "Huys de Hoop." It was Sam Colt who named the street Huyshope Avenue.

Q: What four presidents spoke to crowds from the portico of the Hartford Times Building on Prospect Street?

A: Harry S. Truman, Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, and Lyndon B. Johnson. Congrats to Bill Flood of Portland for knowing the answer.

Q: What controversy did the artist Carl Andre visit upon Hartford in 1978?

A: The "Stone Field" sculpture at the corner of Main and Gold streets. Commissioned to create some art in that space, Andre caused an uproar by depositing 36 giant rocks there and then presenting the City Council with a bill for $87,000. He was paid.

Q: How did Hartford get its name?

A: It was named for Hertford, England. See the bulletin board for two postings on the connection between the city's name and the oft-used deer symbol.

Q: With the movie "Pearl Harbor" set to open, it should be remembered that Hartford's first casualty of the war died in that attack. Who was he, and what roadway was named after him?

A: Ulmont A. Whitehead. The short highway named after him connects Polaski Circle and Interstate 91, passing under Main Street and the Hartford Public Library. The highway was built on top of the Park River, which was channeled underground during the war, mostly to end flooding. (Source: "History of Hartford Streets," by F. Perry Close.)
