Development

[edit]

Doncram, I see you have begun developing some of the content on this article. I have some of my own photos which I can add, including my home (the Greek Revival Methodist Church and Greek Revival former school next to it), the Congregational Church and the Mill. I will begin photographing various notable structures that are not included in the linked PDF. The Methodist Church has been rescued from further deterioration thanks to a new roof, it is a solid structure but in need of a lot of repair. Also note, the Greek Revival Privy shown in the records no longer exists, unfortunately, it would have been in my backyard. I do not know why it is gone or when it occurred.

I will begin assembling information that I have from newspapers, magazines and other sources and start developing content from there. It will take some time before I have anything substantial. dtgriffith (talk) 15:41, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, great! I am done for right now. I just commented about this HD article and example good HD articles at the Connecticut wikiproject page, but it's better to continue here about this one specifically. Very good that you'll be able to provide very substantial updating relative to the 1986 NRHP document's info. Cheers, --doncram (talk) 15:47, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The privy was listing, about to collapse, and was donated to Southbury Historical who was able to rescue it. It was re-erected down the street where it stands behind the Old Town Hall Museum. The work was done about 15 years ago by Richard Seman. I suspect it may have been an early belfry for the church for it is not of typical outhouse construction.
