Addition to Pollack Mill
This
was tthe addition to the Pollack Mill (also
known as the Conantville Mill). The older
section of the mill later became home to the
famous Shaboo nightclub. Since this addition was
on the backside of the mill,
it was not often seen by patrons of the place,
who mostly arrived after dark and entered the
front door next to the big Shaboo Inn sign.

The Ridges -
RT 32 at
Willimantic-Mansfield lineThank
you to Ed Breen of Columbia who wrote:
"That picture brought great memories for me. The
picture is the old trolley waiting area that was
located in "The Ridges" area of Mansfield on the
corner of Route 32 and Old Kent Road. The dead
end street in the background is Old Kent Road.
In 1945 I graduated from the three room Ridges
School that was located at the very end of Old
Kent Road. The trolley, that had run from
Coventry Lake to Norwich, had long disappeared,
but all the kids in that area would gather at
the waiting area for the school bus to Windham
High School. |

Training School and Hospital.
The photo was
taken when the building was used by “The
Connecticut Colony for Epileptics”. In 1917, the
CT legislature merged it with “The Connecticut
Training School for the Feeble Minded” which, at
the time, was located in Lakeville. With the
merger and move came the new name, Mansfield
State Training School and Hospital

John Ferreri said, "This looks a lot like Rt 195
in Storrs. Horsebarn Hill in particular. The
view is to the south, toward Willimantic but
taken west of the campus. Today, the "towers"
dorms would be on your right. "
