First District Schoolhouse, Haddam CT
This blog entry is part of an ongoing project called “One Room Schoolhouses in CT”). If you’re interested in the history of one room schoolhouses in CT I suggest you purchase CONNECTICUT SCHOOLHOUSES THROUGH TIME by Melinda K. Elliott. This book was has been a very helpful resource for me as I did my research. At time of writing this book was available on AMAZON. This two room schoolhouse was built in 1866. During the 1800’s and early 1900’s the town had up to 14 school districts. Currently the building is in use as the Haddam Senior Center.

Abandoned House in Meriden CT
Set back considerably off the road on N.Broad St., Meriden CT is this old abandoned home. Probably a thriving refuse for a growing family at one time now simply the bones remain. If anyone can like abandoned structures I must say I really like this one. If you look towards the top left corner of the house you’ll see a hawk sitting on an electrical wire. Photographed with a Sony A7RV, 61MP mirrorless camera. Lens was a Sony GMII 24-70 f2.8 using Clear image zoom 120mm. 1/500th, f8, ISO 1000, Aperture Priority
