 This looks like it might also have been a bank building at some time.  I'm not sure, though.  

Savings Bank

I've seen a number of old bank buildings re-purposed into another business.  This one now is an Italian restaurant and bar.

Little House Brewing Co.

 Craft breweries are popping up everywhere these days.  Even in little houses like this.  The beer was pretty good too.

Building

Chester, CT  2020

I'm not sure what to make of this building found in Chester.  There were no markings to be seen.  It looks kind of like a barn, perhaps with living quarters, or an office. Maybe it was once a garage.  I'm not sure. It looked well maintained, and one can see a window air conditioner on the right side.

One of the many restaurants in Chester,  this one specializing in wood-fired pizzas.  

Samuel Colt

Chester, CT  2017

The name Samuel Colt was evident on a number of buildings in Chester, CT.  I'm pretty sure this particular Colt is not related to Samuel Colt, the inventor of the revolver and founder of the Colt's Manufacturing Company.  The latter Colt was born in 1814 and from what I can find has no other Samuel's in his immediate ancestry.

Cummings and Good

Chester, CT

On a recent Sunday drive my wife and I discovered the small town of Chester, CT which borders on the Connecticut River.  The town has a long history and today boasts a number of restaurants, boutique shops, artists and art galleries.  It was voted best small town in Connecticut by Connecticut Magazine, and after spending an afternoon there, I would agree.   I was impressed with the architecture and how well all the historic buildings were maintained.  I'm not sure what this building once was but it appears that at one time it might have been a bank.  Today it houses Cummings and Good, a graphic arts/design firm, boutique and gallery.
