Historic District "House" Biographies - Tell us Your Story

The Historic District is rich with history and almost every house has a story to tell. Since we all love to hear a good story, the Old Stratford Neighborhood Association is asking our neighbors to tell us their's and we will post on the BLOG.

Michael Bingham started us off in January by telling the Story of the Leaning House. It is the first of what we hope will become a series of “biographies” of houses in the Historic District. We invite submissions from owners of any neighborhood homes, old or not. They needn’t be essay-length — even sharing just a few paragraphs about what you find most interesting or endearing about your home would be of interest to neighbors.

And of course please include an image. If you don’t have a photo of your home, we would be happy to take one (at no charge) to include with your post. Please send submissions to mbingham@conntact.com.

The Stratford Historical Society has info on lots of houses in the neighborhood if someone is willing to dig in a little. There are city directories from the early 20th century, land records from the 19th century and files on the families and addresses of historic Stratford.

It would be worth a look!
