Thanks for this post – I see lions all over Hartford, love this one at Pope. Do you have any insights about this symbol? Is there some connection between Hartford and lions, or a time period when they started being put up?
I don’t know off-hand if there’s some particular symbolism involved, but I’m guessing it’s the era. I’ll have to check that. You’re right…the lions are everywhere!
