    I was wondering why 70mLambert Ave is not listed as a Historic Building of Ct in Meriden? It seems it should be.

    Mark,

    This is not an exhaustive list of historic buildings in town, but only the ones I’ve happened to have taken pictures of and written about on this site. The list can always grow to feature more in the future
