Pythian Building

Middletown, CT  2017

I was attracted to the black and green marble facade on this building.  First built around 1874 the building served as a hotel until purchased in 1905 by the Pythian Company.  The building then housed retail space on the first floor, offices on the second, and had meeting hall on the third floor for the Knights of Pythias.  The building was remodeled in 1938, adding the marble facade and large windows.  It's nice to see these older buildings getting good use today.

Firehouse

Middletown, CT

This is a classic looking firehouse.  They don't build them like this anymore.

Barber Shop

Middletown, CT  2017

There's not doubting that this place is a barbershop.  It's probably the most colorful barbershop I've seen recently.

Sculptured Head


Middletown, CT  2015

This sculpture can be seen in a park next to the Connecticut River in Middletown, CT.  I could find neither a reference nearby to the sculptor nor a title to the work.

Arrigoni Bridge

Middletown, CT

I've driven up and down CT Route 9 between Old Saybrook and Hartford many times and have always admired the views along that highway, especially of the Arrigoni Bridge, which crosses the Connecticut River at Middletown.  I finally took some time to stop and walk along the Connecticut River to capture some views of the bridge myself.
