**THE "OLD STATE HOUSE," HARTFORD (1792-1796), BULLFINCH, ARCHITECT**

Colonel Thomas Seymour (1735-1829), the First Mayor, had offices in this
building, 1796-1812. The tower was added in 1820, but otherwise the building
presented essentially this appearance during the period when the First Mayor had
offices in it.  From a painting on ivory, done in 1834, by Edward W. Clay
(1792-1857).

Courtesy of Morgan Bulkeley Brainard, of Hartford, who had the rare good fortune
to discover it in the hands of a dealer in San Francisco.
