The Colonial Revival home of Thomas MacDonough Russell, built in 1901-1902, is located on High Street in Middletown. Russell was a descendant of Samuel Russell, whose famous 1828 Greek Revival House is across the street. The Thomas MacDonough Russell House currently houses Wesleyan University‘s Center for African American Studies.
Thomas MacDonough Russell House (1902)
I understand that there is/was a building in downtown Middletown with the name “Appelquest” built by my g.grandfather- a photographer. He passed away in 1902 and his wife Emily took up the business.
How can I find out about this. I live in Georgia
Thanks.
Did you ever get any feedback on the Appelquest building?
was just given a picture of my grandmother yesterday. The picture was taken by Appelquest. I would love to learn more about this……Comments anyone? I live in Portland, Ct. @ minutes away from Middletown, Ct. The picture is breath taking!
