Winter Meeting: "Carrying out Research to Obtain
Historic Building Plaques", Monday February 2, 2009, 7 PM at
the Groton Congregational Church 162 Monument St. Groton, CT. Join for Refreshements at 6:30 PM. Public invited.
In response to many inquires about obtaining "Groton Bank Historic House Plaques"
that display the original owner-occupant and the date of construction, Horace Newbury and Tom Althuis will talk about the
research process to determine this information. In the past about 90 of Groton Bank's several hundred historic houses
or buildings have been researched and have plaques on them. Horace and Tom will focus on determining the original owner-occupant
and age of the structure using information in the Groton Land Records, knowledge of the architectural style of the structure,
and information that can be gleaned from maps, old pictures and other sources.
