Ken Keeley, Special to The Times
The Marguerite Building, pictured here in 1890, was one of three buildings former Norwich Mayor Timothy Murphy constructed and named after his three daughters, Marguerite, Alice and Marion. Only the Alice Building, which sits on Main Street, remains today. The Marguerite, which sat on the corner of North Main Street and East Main Street at Burnham Square, fell into disrepair due to neglect. It was a unique building because trains ran under the back of the building, causing severe vibration. In the late 1900s, parts of the building started falling onto the railroad tracks below. After becoming a safety problem, the building was condemned by the city, and demolished in 1996.
