Last day visiting CT and decided this was the way to go. Visited on a Monday around noon, and it…read morewas not busy at all. We were able to walk in and tour the place ourselves. It is such a neat building with plenty of historic artifacts inside. All the employees were super friendly. People do actually work inside of this building, so it was busy with a bunch of workers trying to make it from one point of the building to the other. Learned a little bit of CT history. We were able to tour the room where the decision was made to make Marijuana legal in CT. About 4 stories tall. We also were able to walk underground over to the legislative building as well! Such neat history is located here also. A lot of comemerative veterans are seen all throughout the walls also which lets you pay many respects throughout your visit. It was such a great last day tour, and I'm glad we visited.

Outside, you'll see a towering golden dome that rises over Hartford quite impressively. There's also a relief arrayed around the edges of the building that illustrates scenes from the history of this State. Inside, there are a couple of interesting things, i.e., sculptures, battle flags, etc., but it'll take you under a half an hour to see all of it once you enter. All things considered, this place is worth a visit, if only to get some pictures of that impressive dome :-)

As someone completely new to this whole process, I was under the impression that I would have access to all parts of the second level for photos but that key piece of information was not relayed to me or my partner during the long process of planning. There were multiple but minor errors as well that gave me the sense that communication was not a strong suit within the event planning department. Upon confirmation for my wedding date, the wrong time frame was made for the reservation. It was quickly resolved so I thank them for that but then the number of attendees on the City Hall Rental form was also wrong. I was constantly double checking their work and what I needed was for all my information for my wedding to be handled with care and looked over with more detail. However, because the wedding was small we were able to find spots to photograph everyone without disrupting the guests and still enjoying the special moment. Also big shout out to the sweet security guard Jeff for being so helpful and welcoming on our wedding day!

They offer nothing more than superficial services completing paperwork and pretending to assist people with no options, since in reality there IS NO defense against disclosure, and these programs are doing just enough to claim they're useful to the government when in reality all their doing is ensuring most families lose their homes based on pure supposition, outright lies and sneaky tricks the courts and government ignore, rather than actual facts!

I've been thinking about the basis on which to review the place state lawmakers come to work. The…read moreobvious question is to ask, "Do they pass the laws I want them to pass?" with the obvious answer: "Not often enough." But that's not just my personal hubris; it could be said of any legislature anywhere, so back to Connecticut's take on a legislative office building. First of all, it's architecturally distinctive. Within its modern facade is a lovely large interior atrium that seems much larger than it is. A "tunnel" connects the LOB to the Capitol next door, decorated with faces from the state's history. The tunnel is actually a bridge over the highway on ramp between the buildings, which just feels cool. The cafeteria is convenient and decent, and the entire building tended with great attention. Parking is free in a garage behind the LOB: follow the driveway between it and the state armory next door to find its entrance. The staff have only been kind and helpful when I've visited on business. Whatever lawmakers may decide to do or not do, these state employees remain gracious, and I appreciate it.
