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.

    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.

    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!
