Wadsworth Falls State Park

Wadsworth Falls State Park, or simply Wadsworth Falls, is a public recreation and preserved natural area located on the Coginchaug River in the towns of Middletown and Middlefield, Connecticut. The state park's 285 acres (115 ha) offer trail hiking, fishing, swimming and picnicking. It is managed by the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection. History The park bears the name of Colonel Clarence S. Wadsworth (1871–1941), an academic, linguist, conservationist, and member of the New York National Guard. Wadsworth developed the property that the park occupies in the early years of the 20th century as part of his Long Hill estate. He established the Rockfall Corporation as a charitable foundation to administer his properties and further his conservationist interests. Following his death, the corporation gave 267 acres (108 ha) of Wadsworth's estate to the people of Connecticut for preservation as Wadsworth Falls State Park. In 1996, the portion of the park that lies within the town of Middletown, some 130 acres, was added to the National Register of Historic Places as part of the Wadsworth Estate Historic District. The district's central feature, the Wadsworth Mansion at Long Hill, lies adjacent to the park and may be reached from the park by way of the purple-blazed hiking trail. Waterfalls Two natural waterfalls lie within easy reach by park trails: the Big Falls, on the Coginchaug River, and the Little Falls, on Wadsworth Brook. The larger of the two, Wadsworth Big Falls, drops the 52-foot breadth of the Coginchaug River some 30 feet (9.1 m) over a shelf of Hampden basalt. Wadsworth Little Falls is found along Wadsworth Brook and descends approximately 40 feet (12 m) over an outcrop of sandstone known as Portland arkose.

Wallingford station (Connecticut)

Wallingford station is a train station on the New Haven–Springfield Line located in Wallingford, Connecticut. It is served by the CT Rail Hartford Line (consisting of Connecticut Department of Transportation and Amtrak trains) and by Amtrak's Northeast Regional, and Valley Flyer. A new station with high-level platforms opened on November 6, 2017 to the north of the original station. The former station building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as Wallingford Railroad Station. History The depot at Wallingford was built in 1871 by the Hartford & New Haven Railroad on the Springfield Line, and was built in a French Second Empire style similar to that of the Windsor train station. The original station building was closed to the public in 1994 and is now used for adult education and the New Haven Model Railroad Club. The line through Wallingford was double-tracked until 1990 when the second track was removed. The original Wallingford station building has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1993. A temporary platform replaced the former station platform on April 25, 2016. The temporary platform was used until the new station was completed. In fall 2016, the Wallingford Planning and Zoning Commission adopted a Transit-Oriented Development Plan, which outlined recommendations for development and infrastructure changes around the station. The existing commercial, industrial zone near the station, as part of the plan, will be replaced with medium- and high-density residential zoning. New commercial and residential development will be encouraged near the station and improvements will be made in the area of the station to connect to downtown Wallingford. Wallingford has two high-level side platforms serving both tracks, each 6 cars long. The new station, which cost about $21 million to construct, opened on November 6, 2017. Amtrak's Vermonter stopped serving the Berlin and Wallingford stations on June 9, 2018 due to the addition of Hartford Line service by Amtrak and the Connecticut Department of Transportation.

Warner House (East Haddam, Connecticut)

The Warner House is a historic house at 307 Town Street in East Haddam, Connecticut. Built in 1738, it is notable for its high quality interior woodwork and hardware, the latter of which were probably made by some of its owners. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. The house is now owned by Connecticut Landmarks, and in 2019 it opened as a historic house museum. Description and history The Warner House is located in a rural-suburban setting of western East Haddam, on the west side of Town Street (Connecticut Route 82) near its junction with Petticoat Lane. It is a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with a side-gable roof, large central chimney, and clapboarded exterior. The main entrance is at the center of the symmetrical front facade, sheltered by a gabled portico supported by round columns. The entrance is flanked by simple pilasters. The interior follows a typical period center-chimney plan, with high-quality wood paneling around the main parlor fireplace, and elaborate millwork in the second parlor. The house was built in 1738 by John Warner, and was restyled in 1790, when most of its fine woodwork was added. John Warner was a noted regional maker of interior hardware (hinges, latches, and so on), whose work is probably in this house. His son and grandson, the next occupants of the house, were blacksmiths. The house was purchased in 1936 by Frederic T. Palmer, a restoration architect, who undertook a careful restoration of the house. In the mid-1940s, Palmer's lover, Howard Metzger, also moved into the house. The couple were not publicly out, but their status as a couple was well-known in their community. They hosted many gatherings of LGBT friends at the home. Palmer and Metzger also enjoyed collecting antiques, and the house was featured in Antiques Magazine in 1957. Palmer was a trustee and boardmember of Connecticut Landmarks, who received the property after the death of his partner in 2005.

Warren Congregational Church

The Warren Congregational Church is a historic Congregational Church at 4 Sackett Hill Road in Warren, Connecticut. Built in 1820, it is a well-preserved example of Federal architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. Description and history The Warren Congregational Church occupies a prominent position in the small village center of Warren, at the Southwest Corner of Sackett Hill Road and Kent Road (Connecticut Route 341). It is a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, with a projecting entry pavilion topped by a gabled pediment. The pavilion is divided into three bays by two-story pilasters, with each bay containing an entrance. The identical entrances are slightly recessed behind a frame of pilasters, and are topped by half-round transom windows. Above each of the outer entrances are sash windows with shutters. The pediment has a three-part window in the center, consisting of a round window resting on two smaller half-rounds. Construction of the church began in 1818 and was formally completed in 1820. It was built as a replacement for a Georgian style meetinghouse built in 1769 for a congregation established in 1750, when the area was still part of Kent. Its design is fairly typical of Federal style churches of the period, drawing its inspiration from pattern books such as the American Builder's Companion published in 1803 by Asher Benjamin. Its pulpit is one of only three Federal-period pulpits documented in the state. The Palladian window above the window is a careful restoration of the original, carried out in the 20th century by one of Connecticut's leading architectural historians of the early 20th century, J. Frederick Kelly. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Litchfield County, Connecticut References External links Church website

Washington Bridge (Connecticut)

Washington Bridge, även känd som Devon Bridge, ingår US Route 1. Den går över Housatonic River i delstaten Connecticut i USA och förbinder staden Milford med staden Stratford. Den anses vara arkitektoniskt anmärkningsvärd av National Register of Historic Places för sina fem 30 meter långa valvbågar. Den utsågs till bro nr 327 av delstatsdepartementet för transport. Washington Bridge är den längsta klaffbron på Boston Post Road. Den är 262 meter lång och 13 meter bred och har två körfält i varje riktning för biltrafik och en trottoar för fotgängare. Farleden under bron är 38 meter bred. Bron, som kostade 1,5 miljoner dollar 1921, var det största och dyraste projektet från statens motorvägsavdelning fram till dess bron byggdes. Historia Före den nuvarande bron fanns två tidigare broar, som användes 1803 till 1894 och från 1894 till 1921 (se vykortsbilden). Den första noterade transporten över floden vid denna tidpunkt var en färja som började trafikera runt maj 1758. Sons of the American Revolution noterar att denna korsning sannolikt användes av George Washington på sin resa från Philadelphia till Cambridge, Massachusetts för att ta befäl över den koloniala armén 1775. Den första bron vid denna tidpunkt föreslogs 1803 av Milford and Stratford Bridge Company, som bytte namn till Washington Bridge Company samma år. Den första permanenta (trä)-bron öppnades 1813, komplett med en vägtull. År 1844 lade vetenskapsmannen Roger Sherman Baldwin veto mot ett lagförslag som krävde att Washington Bridge Company skulle göra ändringar på bron på egen bekostnad trots att förhållandena som krävde dessa ändringar inte fanns när bron ursprungligen byggdes. Vetot åsidosattes av en handling från Connecticuts generalförsamling. 1845 beslutade Högsta domstolen i USA att handlingen var författningsstridig i "Washington Bridge Company mot Stewart". Den andra bron öppnade 1894 och byggdes av järn för 88 500 dollar. Den innehöll två fasta spann på 66 meter och en enda svängbart spann på 61 meter i mitten, med en gångväg på norra sidan. New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad motsatte sig ursprungligen en spårvagnsvagnlinje, men till slut blev det en i det södra körfältet. Tillverkare av den ursprungliga bron, som byggdes 1921, var Bethlehem Steel. Bron ritades av John Alexander Low Waddell, en känd brobyggnadsingenjör med mer än tusen byggen på sin meritlista. Ursprungligen fanns det två spårvagnsspår på bron och två körfält för personbilar. Vid tidpunkten för byggandet var det dyraste projektet som Connecticut Department of Transportation hittills genomfört och kostade 1,5 miljoner dollar. Washington Bridge noterades på National Register of Historic Places 2004. Referenser Den här artikeln är helt eller delvis baserad på material från engelskspråkiga Wikipedia, 29 december 2020.

Waveny Park

Waveny Park (also known as Waveny House) is a park in New Canaan, Connecticut. The park's centerpiece is "the castle" built in 1912 and surrounded by 300 acres (1.2 km2) of fields, ponds and trails. The architect for the structure was William Tubby. Landscape design for the original residence was by landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2019. The house was used for exterior shots for the fictional 'Cortlandt Manor' on the soap opera All My Children for many years; exteriors of the estate were also used in the 2004 remake film The Stepford Wives. The park is bordered by Farm Road to the North, the Merritt Parkway to the South, South Avenue to the East and Lapham Road to the West. Over the years, numerous additional town structures have been built on parts of the property including New Canaan High School, Waveny LifeCare Network, an aquatic center, two public water supply towers, as well as paddle tennis courts. To be able to use some of these facilities, a nominal annual fee is charged. The Parks recreations are enjoyed by many people from all around Fairfield County. Lewis Lapham, one of the founders of Texaco and the man who built Waveny House, spent summers there with his family for many years. The Lapham family gave the Town of New Canaan most of the estate land in 1967 and sold Waveny House and its surrounding 300 acres (1.2 km2) to the Town for $1,500,000. George Lascelles, 7th Earl of Harewood, the eldest paternal first cousin of Queen Elizabeth II, married his second wife, Patricia Tuchman on July 32, 1967 at Waveny Park.
