A Piece of UConn History/Wintry Scene C. 1900
|
[ABOVE]
A wintry scene around 1900 shows the old
Storrs Congregational Church, looking north up
what is now Route 195. The old church, built in
the 1840s, faced east toward Horsebarn Hill,
and was razed in 1926 before construction of the
current church, which faces south toward North
Eagleville Road. At left, toward the campus
proper of Connecticut Agricultural College
(CAC), is a barn.

A detail closeup from the photograph shows a
sign-post with town announcements. At the top
of the post is a sign that reads "Eagleville";
below are two announcements: one is headed "DOG
NOTICE", which likely alerts residents of
Mansfield and the CAC campus regarding roaming
dogs; and a partially obscured notice that
reads "AUCTION."
