Loomis-Pomeroy House

The Loomis-Pomeroy House is a historic house at 1747 Boston Turnpike (United States Route 44) in Coventry, Connecticut. Built about 1833, it is a fine local example of transitional Federal-Greek Revival architecture, with important family associations in local history. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994. Description and history The Loomis-Pomeroy House is located in what has historically been called the village of North Coventry, on the south side of US 44, west of its junction with Main Street. US 44 is in this area part of the historic Boston Post Road, and the cluster of buildings making up the village includes the Second Congregational Church, directly across the street from the house. The house is a predominantly brick structure, its main block a 2+1⁄2-story structure, three bays wide, with an attached ell with a brick and clapboard exterior. Historically the house was on a 100-acre (40 ha) farm, this has been reduced over time to 3.8 acres (1.5 ha), which includes the house, a barn, an ice house, and a privy. The main block was probably built c. 1833, with the ell possibly older. A building is referenced on the property in an 1823 deed, which may have been the ell, which is thought to have served as overflow housing for a nearby tavern operated by the Pomeroy family. The Pomeroys established the tavern in 1801, next to the church, whose congregation was established in 1745. Eleazer Pomeroy, in addition to operating the tavern, also ran stagecoaches, and had acquired a large amount of land in the area by 1828. He is believed to be the builder of this house, which was sold to his son George in 1843. In 1881 the property was purchased by James Otis Freeman, whose descendants (mainly named Loomis after the man his daughter married), retained ownership until the 1980s.

Middletown Alms House

The Middletown Alms House is a historic building at 53 Warwick Street in Middletown, Connecticut, constructed in 1813–1814. It was originally used as a poorhouse and is the oldest surviving building built for housing the poor in Connecticut, as well as one of the oldest such in the United States. One of the largest structures of the Federal period in Middletown, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. History The Town of Middletown built the Alms House in 1814 to house the town's poor. Many of the people housed there were required to work, either in the Alms House or in a local industrial business. The building at 53 Warwick Street served as a poorhouse until 1853, when the institution was moved to the Middletown Town Farms facility on Silver Street in the town's South Farms district. Shortly after, the Hubbard and Curtis Hardware Company occupied the building. This company, which manufactured tools, hardware, and wood-burning stoves, had its principal place of commerce on Main Street (359 Main Street) and manufactured its goods in this building. In the early 20th century, Fred I. Hodge, Sr. owned the Middletown Fire Arms and Specialty which manufactured valve wheels and guns. The Middletown Rifle Club had a rifle range in the basement and Hodge also repaired automobiles there. By 1981, C.B. Stone Inc., a home heating oil dealer, had occupied the building since the early 1930s. It is currently used for offices. Description The three-and-a-half-story building is constructed in the Federal style and made of brick with Flemish bond and a brownstone foundation with an asphalt shingle roof. The architect and builder are unknown. A graphic depiction on an 1825 map indicates that the building was originally embellished by a segmental arch over the entrance door and a classical cupola. A central, slightly projecting, pavilion is still discernible. The building has a structural system of load-bearing masonry with a gable roof. Located to the north on the premises, facing Warwick Street, is a late-Victorian brick residence. This substantial structure, once owned by Mayor Leo B. Santangelo, displays intricate stickwork on the veranda, and decorative brickwork, and is in relatively original condition. The southeast section of this structure is supported by large brownstone blocks. These blocks are the remains of a jail which was built on the Alms House grounds in 1846. It was a small facility, containing only twelve cells, with the principal jail being in Haddam. This structure, which faces north, sits on a 1.3 acres (0.53 ha) lot on the south side of residential Warwick Street. It is set back from the road behind two late-19th-century houses. A large oak tree to the west shades it. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Middletown, Connecticut References Middletown, Connecticut Historical and Architectural Resources.

Moosup Valley State Park Trail

Der Moosup Valley State Park Trail ist ein rail trail im US-Bundesstaat Connecticut auf dem Gebiet der Gemeinden Plainfield und Sterling im Windham County (Connecticut). Geographie Der Trail folgt dem Gleisbett der ehemaligen New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad. Die Strecke wurde in den späten 1960er Jahren aufgelassen, und 1987 vom Staat als Freizeitstrecke eröffnet. Sie wird vom Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection unterhalten. Die Strecke verläuft über ca. 9,7 km (6 mi) vom Zentrum des Dorfes Moosup () bis an die Grenze zu Rhode Island, wo der Weg als Coventry Greenway weiterläuft. Der Moosup Valley Trail ist zusammen mit dem Quinebaug River Trail und dem Air Line Trail ein entscheidendes Stück in dem Abschnitt des geplanten East Coast Greenway zwischen Hartford und Providence. Erhaltungszustand Der Weg wird laufend ausgebaut, manche Abschnitte sind allerdings schadhaft. Im Einzelnen lassen sich 4 Abschnitte unterscheiden: Trailhead at Route 14 in Moosup to Barber Hill Road, Plainfield: An dieser Anfangsstelle gibt es Parkmöglichkeiten und der Moosup River wird auf einen ausgebauten Eisenbahnbrücke überquert. Der Weg wurde asphaltiert im Zuge der Demontage der Barber Hill Road bridge. Barber Hill Road, Plainfield to bridge over Providence Road, Sterling: Dieser Streckenabschnitt ist in großen Teilen noch nicht vollendet ausgebaut. Die Decke besteht aus eingeebnetem Split. Die Brücke über den Moosup River in Sterling wurde repariert und bekam eine neue Straßendecke. Bridge over Providence Road, Sterling to Spring Lake Road, Sterling: Eine neue Brücke wurde gebaut, um den Weg über die Providence Road zu führen. Diese ersetzt die ursprüngliche Eisenbahnbrücke, die gleich nach der Auflassung der Eisenbahnstrecke abgebaut wurde. Spring Lake Road, Sterling to RI State Line: Dieser Abschnitt ist noch nicht erneuert. Die Decke besteht aus grobem Splitt, so dass man am ehesten zu Fuß oder mit dem Mountainbike vorankommt. In Rhode Island setzt sich der Weg als Trestle Trail fort. dort wird er vom Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management unterhalten.

Mount Tom State Park

Mount Tom State Park ist ein State Park im US-Bundesstaat Connecticut auf dem Gebiet der Gemeinden Litchfield, Morris und Washington. Er liegt südlich der US Route 202 und bedeckt 93 ha (231 acre) am südwestlichen Ufer des Mount Tom Pond (23 ha, 56 acre). Der Park gehört zu den ältesten Parks im State Park-System. Der Aussichtsturm Mount Tom Tower wurde 1993 im National Register of Historic Places aufgenommen. Geographie Der Park liegt südlich des Mount Tom Pond und wird entlang seiner Südseite größtenteils durch den Bantam River begrenzt. Dieser mündet in der Nähe des südwestlichen Parkendes in den Shepaug River. Der Mount Tom Pond entwässert in den Bantam River, er bildet drei Buchten nach Nordost, Südost und Südwest, und erreicht eine Tiefe von ca. 13 m. Mount Tom (393 m) hingegen erhebt sich um ca. 150 m über die Umgebung. Etwa einen Kilometer weiter im Südwesten erhebt sich der Little Mount Tom bis auf 331 m über dem Meer. Geschichte Mount Tom State Park gehörte zu den 15 Parks, die von der ersten State Park Commission zwischen 1913 und 1918 gegründet wurden und war der erste, der der Öffentlichkeit übergeben wurde. Die Fläche war von Charles H. Senff gestiftet worden. Nach Senffs Tod organisierte seine Witwe, Gustavia A. Senff, den Transfer, der 1917 abgeschlossen werden konnte. Mount Tom Tower Eine Bedingung der Stiftung war die Unterhaltung eines dauerhaften Aussichtsturms auf dem Gipfel von Mount Tom. Die State Park Commission empfahl, die seit 1888 vorhandene Holzkonstruktion durch einen Steinturm zu ersetzen. Alfred M. Turner, der Sekretär der Commission, plante den Turm und ein Unternehmer vor Ort errichtete den Turm aus unbehauenem schwarzem Gneis in loser Anlehnung an die Pläne. Der Turm misst 10 m (34 ft) und hat einen Durchmesser von 4,6 m. Er wurde 1921 fertiggestellt. Von seiner Plattform kann man Mount Everett in Massachusetts, die Catskills im Bundesstaat New York und den Long Island Sound sehen. Geologie Im Park herrschen Gneis und Glimmerschiefer vor. Er ist reich an Mineralien wie Quarz, Garnet und Hornblende. Darüber hinaus gibt es einige große Findlinge aus der Eiszeit. Freizeitmöglichkeiten Freizeitmöglichkeiten umfassen Wandern, Angeln, Schwimmen und Kanufahren auf dem Mount Tom Pond, sowie Picknicken. Siehe auch State Parks in Connecticut National Register of Historic Places In Holyoke, Massachusetts gibt es am Connecticut River ein gleichnamiges Gegenstück zum Mount Tom: Mount Tom State Reservation.

Mount Tom State Park

Mount Tom State Park is a public recreation area lying south of US Route 202 in the towns of Washington, Litchfield, and Morris, Connecticut. The state park occupies 231 acres (93 ha) on the southwest shore of Mount Tom Pond and is home to the Mount Tom Tower, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993. It is managed by the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection. History The park is one of the oldest in the Connecticut state park system, having been among the 15 created between 1913 and 1918 by Connecticut's first State Park Commission. The park's land had been donated in 1911 for use as a state park by Charles H. Senff. Following Senff's death, his widow, Gustavia A. Senff, saw the transfer of the property through to completion, with the state legislature finalizing the action in 1917. It was the first to open. Mount Tom Tower A condition of the Senff gift was that a permanent observation tower be maintained at the summit of Mount Tom. The State Park Commission recommended that a stone tower be built to replace a wooden structure that had stood at the spot since 1888. The commission's secretary, Alfred M. Turner, drew up plans which were not closely followed. John DaRoss (John DaRoss & Sons) of Litchfield constructed the tower of rough black gneiss found at the site. The tower stands 34 feet (10 m) high and 15 feet (4.6 m) in diameter; it was completed in 1921. Visitors can climb to the top for views that extend to Mount Everett in Massachusetts, the Catskills in New York, and Long Island Sound. Geology The park is notable for the presence of the metamorphic rocks gneiss and schist, the minerals quartz, garnet and hornblende, and boulders carried to the site by Ice Age glaciers. Activities and amenities The park offers fishing, swimming, and canoeing on 56-acre (23 ha) Mount Tom Pond, hiking the nearly one-mile-long loop trail that ascends Mount Tom to the observation tower, and picnicking.
