This is the Phoenix Insurance Company building – built in the 1950s, it was most recently the Capital Community College. It’s owned by the State of Connecticut now (which, of course, means no property taxes), and the State has allowed it to sit idle and vacant for how long now? Years.
Recently, this site has been suggested as a new location for the federal courthouse that is currently downtown on Main Street, in the Abraham Ribicoff building. It’s too small for their needs, apparently, so the feds want to spend gobs of money to build a new, snazzy courthouse for the judges. The Phoenix Insurance Company building, which is located at 61 Woodland Street, is selected, the feds will demolish this building and construct a new building according to current federal design standards.
