A picture from more than a century ago, with little change to the subject to this day. (Ellington Historical Society)
ELLINGTON, CT Our initial foray of the new year into Ellington history, highlighting businesses from the town s past and what those locations look like today, brings us back to a fascinating picture book entitled Images of America: Ellington. The book, compiled by Lynn Kloter Fahy for the Ellington Historical Society, was first published in 2005, and contains 128 pages of amazing photos and stories of the small town formerly known as the Great Marsh.
This photo of property at the corner of Somers and Meadowbrook roads was taken in 1904. According to Ellington land records, the structure was built in 1820. Pictured are Gertrude, Clara and Flora Tuttle, whose dad Frank bought the house in 1898.
