<p>The Bacon Academy, nicknamed Old Bacon Academy, was the original Bacon Academy. The Old Bacon Academy was built in 1803 and is located at 84 Main Street, Colchester, Connecticut. The main structure is a 70 ft long by 34 ft wide three-story Flemish bond brick structure with Federal style details. Noted for its plain, utilitarian floor plan consisting of two rooms off a central hall and stairway, the inside has seen some renovations throughout its history. The Day Hall, a contributing property purchased by the Bacon Academy trustees in 1929, is a church hall that was used for the high school until 1962.</p><br>
<p>Originally operating as a white male school, Bacon Academy integrated nonwhite children around 1833 and began to educate women in 1842. The school has educated important figures like Edwin Denison Morgan, Morgan Bulkeley, William A. Buckingham, Lyman Trumbull, and Morrison Waite. Due to the structure&#39;s utilitarian style combined with its Federal details, the National Register of Historic Places recognizes it as architecturally significant. Currently, the Old Bacon Academy building is used as part of an alternative education program and Day Hall is used as a nursery. The properties were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>Bacon Academy is named for Pierpont Bacon, a prosperous farmer who died childless in 1800. Bacon bequeathed most of his property and assets to the First Society of Colchester to support schooling. The trustees decided to build an academy, an institution to have young men be educated, and then go directly into the workforce. Completed in 1803 for the cost of $7000, the main Bacon Academy structure is a 70 ft long by 34 ft wide three-story Flemish bond brick structure with Federal style details. The foundation of the academy is made of fieldstone with a facing of dressed granite blocks. The bricks were produced on a local farm for the purpose building Bacon Academy. The front facade has 26 windows arranged in 9 bays with gaps for the chimneys in between the second and third bay from the corners. The sash is 6-by-6 and was noted to appear original in the nomination form. Originally the hipped roof had four chimneys, with two matching chimneys on each the west and east sides. Only the east chimneys remain. Facing the front entrance, the chimneys are spaced about 18 ft from the side corners. In the 1982 nomination, the hipped roof was reported to have asphalt shingles.</p><br>
<p>The building was altered in 1890, with two additions of Victorian architecture, the first being the main entrance, above the fanlight, is an arched awning with incised consoles. The other addition was the octagonal cupola on the roof over the original bell tower which dates from 1830. The exterior of the school has complementary colors. The walls are painted a cream color while the foundation, doors, window trims, and cornices are a chocolate-brown.</p><br>
<p>The interior of the building was termed "severely plain" and utilitarian for its simple design of two large rooms on each side with a central hall and stairwell. Each room was filled with natural light from the windows, and had a chimney for the iron stoves on the east and west ends of the building. The oak floors were installed in the early 20th-century and the ceiling was covered with modern acoustical tiles. The third floor is a shallow attic that gives access to the cupola. The ceiling and roof framing is supported with two king-post trusses at the ends of the main ridge. The basement is divided into halves and supported by summer beams that run the length of the sills and supported by posts on stone pedestals. By 1982, the steel I-beams were "recently" inserted under the floor joists and between the summer and the sills. The cellar also has an old furnace that is not in service due to the building using electrical heating.</p><br>
<p>The other contributing property, Day Hall, is a church hall that was originally built in 1858. It was acquired and used for "high school purposes" from 1929 until they completed construction of the new Bacon Academy in 1962. After that it was adopted for use as a kindergarten and offices for the trustees. Described as "vaguely Italianate", the one-room church hall has a basement and a T-shaped addition dating to around 1928. It has a steep gabled, hipped roof. The entrance has two modern fire doors that lead to an auditorium and gallery on the east and stage on the west end.</p><br>
<h2>Operation</h2><br>
<p>The school was originally only for white male students, with nonwhite children using a separate facility, but integration occurred thirty years later. The school also began to educate women in 1842. Throughout the first 136 years of Bacon Academys operation its endowment was its sole provider of funding. In 1939, the town began contributing funds to the institution, resulting in the loss of complete control of its own affairs. In 1982, at the time of its National Register of Historic Places nomination, the trust provided a "small percentage" of Bacon Academys funding.</p><br>
<p>In 2013, the Bacon Academy building was used by the school as part of an alternative education program and Day Hall functions as a nursery school. The school is rented by the Board of Education for around $21,000 a year and the Bacon Academy Board of Trustees says that the operational costs are between $25,000 and $28,000 a year. According to the Colchester Public Schools website, "the Mission of the Alternative Education Program is to provide academic, social, and emotional supports for students at risk of dropping out of high school."</p><br>
<h2>Importance</h2><br>
<p>The National Register of Historic Places nomination submitted Bacon Academy as being important under criteria A, B and C. Bacon Academy&#39;s development in the 176 years, up to the time of nomination, represents the evolution of social attitudes and ideas of education; criteria A. Under criteria B, Bacon Academy is associated with numerous influential and prominent figures. The school was responsible for educating New York governor and senator Edwin Denison Morgan, Connecticut governors Morgan Bulkeley and William A. Buckingham, Iowa senator Lyman Trumbull, and Morrison Waite, the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Criteria C reflects the architectural significance and merit of the structure which is only impeded by its Victorian-era cupola. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>The Brewster Homestead is a historic house at 306 Preston Road  in Griswold, Connecticut. Built about 1740, it is one of the oldest surviving buildings in the town. The house was owned by six generations of the Brewster family, and originally was the centerpiece of a farmstead of 250 acre. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000 by Ron and Kate Bauer.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Brewster Homestead is located in western Griswold, at the northeast corner of Preston and Brewster Roads. It is a -story wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with two small interior chimneys. It is finished in vinyl siding, although its original (c. 1740) clapboards are underneath. A -story ell extends to the rear of the house. The main facade is five bays wide, with the main entrance at the center, sheltered by a late 19th-century hip-roofed porch. The interior retains a number of original features, including plaster walls, gunstock posts in the framing, and paneled fireplace surrounds. The basement includes the foundational remains of a large chimney, which was removed in the 19th century, at the same time the original main staircase was replaced.</p><br>
<p>The homestead stands on what is now a fragmentary remnant of a large property given to Johnathon Brewster, son of William Brewster, a founding elder of the Plymouth Colony, by Uncas, sachem of the Mohegan people. Simon Brewster, a great-great-grandson of William Brewster, developed a 250 acre parcel as a farm beginning in 1740, probably building this house near its center at that time. The house remained in the hands of Brewster&#39;s descendants until 1996 when Ron and Kate Bauer bought it and ran a beautiful bed and breakfast called Homespun Farm for 15 years. A portion of the estate was sold in the 20th century, and is now the site of a golf club across Preston Road; the house is now associated with 137 acre, much of it open land.</p><br>
<p>Bridge No. 1860, also known as the Samson Occom Bridge, is a fieldstone arch bridge in Montville, Connecticut, United States. Constructed by the Connecticut State Highway Department in 1936 as a Works Progress Administration project, it is located on Mohegan tribal land in an area that was once a part of Fort Shantok State Park. The bridge carries traffic from Massapeag Side Road  over the Shantok Brook, a tributary of the Thames River. Spanning 12 ft across the brook, the bridge&#39;s arch rises about 6 ft above the water. According to a 2011 Connecticut Department of Transportation report, it carries 1,100 vehicles per day. Samson Occom Bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>Officially referred to as Bridge Number 1860 in state records, the bridge is commonly known as the "Samson Occom Bridge". On the south end of the bridge is a wooden sign that commemorates the Christian missionary and educator Samson Occom, a colonial-period Mohegan from Montville, Connecticut. The sign does not actually declare it the "Samson Occom Bridge", but states without further explanation that it is the "Site of the Samson Occum Bridge".</p><br>
<h2>Preservation</h2><br>
<p>In May 1991, the Connecticut Historic Bridge Inventory plan outlined a plan for the preservation of the Samson Occom Bridge. It is unlikely that traffic would require replacement or modification of the bridge in the foreseeable future.</p><br>
<h2>Importance</h2><br>
<p>The National Register of Historic Places nomination states that the Samson Occum Bridge is significant as an example of the 1930s public works programs and as an example of "the picturesque park architecture of the early 20th century." It was constructed at a time when cobblestone masonry was a popular choice for state park structures, but also after masonry was considered an obsolete building material. The bridge has added significance as an example of the work conducted by the federal Works Progress Administration.</p><br>

The hotel was purchased by musician Eugene Stebinger in the 1890s.</p><br>
<p>In addition to its use as a hotel, the building "has also housed a bar, brothel, billiards hall, and most notoriously, a cracker factory", wrote author Bart King in 2007.</p><br>
<h3>1960s to present</h3><br>
<p>The last use of any part of the building as a hotel ended in mid-1967. In late 1967 or early 1968, Skidmore Development Company purchased the building along with two adjacent buildings. Ground-floor space along the N.W. Third Avenue side was being used by a grocery store and an appliance store at that time. In December 1968, a furniture store became the first post-remodel tenant, occupying one-quarter of the ground-floor space. of Skidmore Development Company.</p><br>
<p>The building received a $2 million seismic upgrade in 2004. and the Oregon Nikkei Legacy Center, which includes the Japanese American History Museum. The Faux Museum is in the corner storefront at N.W. Second and Davis.</p><br>

<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Located on Boot Road in Chester County, Pennsylvania&#39;s West Whiteland Township, the historic residence originally called "Autun" and now known as "Meadowcourt," was built at the behest of insurance executive Benjamin Rush, II (1898-1975), a descendant of one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, and his wife, Muriel (Bishop) Rush (1901-1992). Planned for the Rush family by architect Edmund B. Gilchrest in the French country-style in 1928, it was based on the design of a chateau in Autun, France that Gilchrest had toured prior to receiving his commission from the Rush family. Completed in 1929, it was subsequently owned by the Rush family for two decades before being sold to the artist and architect Silvio Pietrinferni and his wife, Frances.</p><br>
<p>Sold to Marcia Green during the early 1980s, portions of the historic home were rented out to various tenants by the middle to latter part of that decade, including to musician Kit Stewart.</p><br>
<p>In early January 1988, Autun/Meadowcourt became the subject of media coverage when area newspapers reported that the historic property had been proposed as a site for townhouse development by the KAT Partnership of Exton, Pennsylvania. Developers had signaled their intent to the West Whiteland Planning Commission to divide the house into two units and build several townhouses on the mansions north side. Representatives of both the planning commission and the West Whiteland Historical Commission expressed concerns regarding the projects potential impact on the property&#39;s existing lawn and landscaping, as well as on the historic chateau itself. According to The Philadelphia Inquirer, the mansion, which faces Boot Street, "across a terrace and broad lawn" had a "sloped slate roof and two high chimneys" which were "barely visible from the road behind a row of trees" in 1988. Concord grapes grew "on gnarled vines across the front of the house, just above five French double doors and below five dormer windows." The property was also bordered by "European linden trees, imported by Mrs. Rush" and "required skilled pruning twice a year."</p><br>
<p>Autun/Meadowcourt was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<h2>Architectural features</h2><br>
<p>Autun/Meadowcourt, a -story, L-shaped country house built for Benjamin Rush, II, is situated on roughly seven acres of wooded and landscaped property opposite from the Colonial Revival-style home of Rush&#39;s parents.</p><br>
<p>Accessed from Boot Road via a narrow, curved driveway leading which reaches around and behind the home to a cul-de-sac, it was designed in the French architectural style, and features a steep hipped roof with multiple rounded and gabled dormers, which were hallmarks of its architect Edmund B. Gilchrist. Other design touches visible from the front include skylights, two chimneys and five French double doors. The main entrance, which is reached via a brick walkway at the back of the residence, opens into a large hall paved with white marble blocks that had been salvaged from Philadelphia&#39;s Hotel Colonnade prior to its destruction. Seven fireplaces were included by Gilchrist to ensure the comfort of the Rush family and their guests. During the late 1980s, the mansion still retained its original brass plumbing; its interior in 1988 was described by The Philadelphia Inquirer as follows:</p><br>
<p>"To the left is a spiral staircase, carpeted in blue and flanked by a suit of armor. Beyond is a long formal dining room, decorated with original linen-backed wallpaper whose birds, ducks and flowers were hand-painted in China.</p><br>
<p>"Off the dining room, banks of glass-fronted cabinets line the pantry, which leads into the modernized kitchen and laundry. (Other than the kitchen remodeling, no structural changes have been made to the house since it was built, according to documents filed in 1982, when the house was submitted for inclusion on the National Register.)"</p><br>
<p>A narrow service stairway enabled servants to move easily between the kitchen and laundry room and their second-floor quarters, where an intercom box had been installed outside in the hallway.</p><br>
<p>The study, which took up a significant portion of the mansions first floor, was paneled with hardwood flooring, accessible by three French doors, and designed with a fireplace and floor-to-ceiling bookcases, two sections of which were designed to " open, revealing secret passageways leading into the next room." The second floors plan included four bedrooms and two fireplaces.</p><br>
