The first comprehensive illustrated history of Connecticut architectural heritage, Connecticut Architecture: Stories of 100 Places by Christopher Wigren, is scheduled for release November 6.
Connecticut boasts some of the oldest and most distinctive architecture in New England, from colonial churches and Modernist houses to refurbished 19th-century factories. The state’s history includes landscapes of small farmsteads, country churches, urban streets, tobacco sheds, quiet maritime villages, town greens, and, more recently, suburbs and corporate headquarters. In his guide to this rich and diverse architectural heritage, Wigren introduces readers – visitors and residents alike – to 100 places across the state.
The book reflects more than 30 years of fieldwork and research in statewide architectural surveys, National Register of Historic Places nomination forms, and more. Pre-order your copy today!
