Pavilion Hall in New Preston (in the town of Washington) was built in 1897 (some sources claim 1929) as a community hall for concerts, plays and celebrations. At one time, the building contained a post office and a fire engine was kept inside behind the double doors in front. Today the building is home to the Boys and Girls Club of New Preston and is named for Harry O.Erickson, a beloved community volunteer.

Please consider visiting and photographing some of the Ehrick Rossiter homes in Washington. They were mostly built in the 1880-1910 period and are stunning examples of shingle style and classical revival architecture.
The books below are a good reference and the 2nd one (return to arcadia) in particular has a map and addresses of all of the homes.

I’ll add it to my list of places to visit, thanks!
