Griswold House (Guilford, Connecticut)

The Griswold House is a historic house museum at 171 Boston Street in Guilford, Connecticut. Built about 1764, it is a well-preserved example of New England colonial architecture, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. The Guilford Keeping Society operates the house as the Thomas Griswold House Museum. The museum includes the late 18th century period New England saltbox house, a historic blacksmith shop, a barn with farm tools and implements, two corn cribs and a Victorian era three seat outhouse. The museum is open seasonally from June through October on a limited number of days each week. Description and history The Griswold House is located east of Guilford Center, on the south side of Boston Street (Connecticut Route 146) at its junction with Lovers Lane. It is a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof, large central chimney, and clapboarded exterior. A leanto section to the rear gives the house a classic New England saltbox appearance. The main facade is three bays wide, with sash windows arranged symmetrically around the entrance. The entrance is flanked by pilasters and topped by a fully pedimented gable. The house was probably built around 1764 by Thomas Griswold III for one of his sons. It remained in the hands of his descendants until 1958, when it was acquired by the Guilford Keeping Society. The society undertook two major restorations, one in the 1970s and another in the 1990s. In addition to its use as a museum, it serves as the society's headquarters.

Grove Street Cemetery

Grove Street Cemetery ou Grove Street Burial Ground é um cemitério em New Haven, Connecticut, que é cercado pelo campus da Universidade Yale. Foi organizado em 1796 como cemitério de New Haven e incorporado em outubro de 1797 para substituir o cemitério de New Haven Green, que estava lotado. O primeiro cemitério privado sem fins lucrativos do mundo, foi um dos primeiros a ter um layout planejado, com lotes de propriedade permanente de famílias individuais, um arranjo estruturado de plantações ornamentais e ruas e avenidas pavimentadas e nomeadas. Ao introduzir ideias como memoriais permanentes e a santidade do corpo morto, o cemitério tornou-se "um verdadeiro ponto de virada ... toda uma redefinição de como as pessoas viam a morte e o morrer", segundo o historiador Peter Dobkin Hall. Muitos notáveis luminares de Yale e New Haven estão enterrados no cemitério de Grove Street, incluindo 14 presidentes (reitores) de Yale. No entanto, o cemitério não se restringia a membros da classe alta e estava aberto a todos. Em 2000, o cemitério de Grove Street foi designado um Marco Histórico Nacional.

Connecticut Valley Hospital Cemetery

The Connecticut Valley Hospital Cemetery is a historic cemetery on Silvermine Road in Middletown, Connecticut. Founded in 1878, it served as the burying ground for patients of the Connecticut General Hospital for the Insane until 1957. Its design and layout are reflective of institutional cemetery practices of the period, with uniform numbered grave markers in a modestly landscaped setting. The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. Description and history The Connecticut Valley Hospital Cemetery is located in a rural setting of southern Middletown, on the east side of Silvermine Road south of its junction with O'Brien Drive. It is visually separated from the campus of the Connecticut Valley Hospital, originally known as the Connecticut General Hospital for the Insane, which is located to its northwest. The cemetery is under 3 acres (1.2 ha) in size and roughly rectangular in shape, except for its oldest section, a roughly trapezoidal parcel on the west side of Silvermine Road. Graves are arrayed in lines parallel to the road, with generally uniform markers of cast cement, identifying the site solely by number. A set of four granite plaques, placed in a cluster near the road, memorialize the site and provide an index for identifying the buried individuals. The Connecticut General Hospital for the Insane was established by the state in 1868, as a place for the housing and treatment of its indigent mentally ill. While patients from well-to-do families were typically buried at family expense in private or public cemeteries, the indigent were buried at state expense in this cemetery. Its first recorded burial was in 1878, on the parcel west of Silvermine Road. A total of 1699 burials were recorded through the time of the cemetery's closure in 1957. It is believed to be the only state medical facility in Connecticut with an associated cemetery. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Middletown, Connecticut References

Hall-Benedict Drug Company Building

The Hall-Benedict Drug Company Building is a historic commercial building at 763-767 Orange Street in the East Rock neighborhood of New Haven, Connecticut. Built in 1909 to house a pharmacy, it is a little-altered and well-preserved example of an early 20th-century mixed residential-commercial neighborhood building. The building was listed on the National Register in 1986. It is also a contributing property in the Whitney Avenue Historic District. Description and history The Hall-Benedict Drug Company Building is located northeast of downtown New Haven, on the south corner of Orange and Linden Streets in the East Rock Neighborhood. It is a 2-1/2 story brick structure, built with load-bearing brick walls and a roof that has a steep mansard facade in front and a slightly sloping shed roof to the rear. The front roof face has modillion blocks at the eave, and is pierced by three dormers; the outer two have gabled roofs, while that at the center has a shed roof. The front facade faces Orange Street, and is asymmetrical, with a glassed storefront at the corner that has a recessed entrance. The main building entrance is near the center of the facade, under a continuation of the cornice that extends across the storefront's top. A round-arch window occupies the rightmost bay of the front. Upper-level windows are sash with fixed diamond-light transom windows above. Despite efforts of local preservationists, the original storefront windows were removed in 2020 and replaced with historically inappropriate modern plate-glass windows. The building was constructed in 1909 for Alonzo B. Hall, a druggist who had just entered partnership with Edward M. Benedict. The only significant alteration to its interior or exterior has been the addition of an ell to its rear in 1929. This is in contrast to most similar buildings of the period in the city, which have been substantially altered. The building was designed by Frank Elwood Brown, a local architect who produced a significant number of designs for modest residences and commercial buildings in the neighborhood.

Hall Memorial School is located at 111 River Road (Route 32) in Willington, Connecticut. It serves only the town of Willington, grades 5 through 8. The school is fairly small, servicing about 320 students. History Hall Memorial School was founded in 1922 and built in memory of Gardner Hall Sr., Gardner Hall Jr., and William H. Hall. From these names stem the school's namesake "Hall Memorial". The original school building was just six rooms. Since the initial construction, there have been two major additions, one adding 12 classrooms and another, in 1980, that added a new gymnasium and 6 more classrooms. Since then, existing rooms have been partitioned off to create more classroom space. More recent changes have been a complete makeover of the school's library (previously the Willington Public Library), a water main hookup with neighboring towns, and a new front sidewalk, lawn, and garden. Classroom Instruction Hall Memorial School offers instruction to students in grades 5–8. Currently, students in grade 5 are taught in an all-inclusive classroom setting (no class changes). Students in grades 6-8 have a rotating 6 day schedule, and change classes throughout the day.

Hall Memorial School has had competitors go to the National Contest for every year since 2002 (as of 2013). External links Official Website - Major source for article
The Spa at Norwich Inn

The Spa at Norwich Inn, in Norwich, Connecticut, formerly known as Norwich Inn, is a historic hotel. Established in 1929 or 1930, it is located at 607 West Thames Street (CT-32), in Norwich. It is owned and operated by the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation. It was built as the Norwich Inn in 1930, with a Georgian Revival-style building. It had 75 guest rooms and a golf course. A local history describes the golf course as having been developed earlier from a six-hole course, expanded to a nine-hole course, and expanded again to an 18-hole course, apparently before 1929. An early promotional card from the Norwich Inn stated:Stepping out of the INN onto a broad observation veranda one hundred feet long, the golfer descends onto the first tee green for a tour around eighteen holes as a beautiful sporty course running through hill and dale that is liked by all who use it. The leading pros of the country have played many matches on this course. Special privileges are given to the golfing guests of the INN to use the course. Besides golf, the inn also offered equestrian paths for horse riders. Visitors over the years included Eddie Albert, Bert Lahr, Basil Rathbone, George Bernard Shaw, and Frank Sinatra. After World War II it was owned by the City of Norwich, and was operated as a boardinghouse and as jail overflow. It was sold in 1983 to the Edward J. Safdie Group, which renovated it and built a separate Spa building. It was purchased in 1994 by the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation. In 2000 a $15 million renovation and expansion was completed and it was renamed as "The Spa at Norwich Inn." In 2020, it was a member of the Historic Hotels of America. In 2022, the hotel was no longer a member. See also Foxwoods Resort Casino, also owned and operated by the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation References
