Karmazinas FuturePast Preservation And Tod Bryant Heritage Resources Project Director Mary Dunne State Historic Preservation Office Sponsors State of Connecticut Dannel P. Malloy Governor Connecticut State Historic Preservation Office Christopher Bergstrom State Historic Preservation Officer City of Meriden Planning Division Funding Provided by: November 2013 The activity that is the subject of this Project has been financed in full by the State Historic Preservation Office with funds from the Community Investment Act program of the State of Connecticut. However, the contents and opinions do not necessarily reflect the views or policies of the Office, nor does the mention of trade names or commercial products constitute endorsement or recommendation by the Office. Acknowledgements The range of information and type of research required to complete a Historic Resources Inventory inherently necessitates the contributions of many people, without whose insight and expertise successful completion would not be possible. As such, this historic and architectural survey of the City of Meriden, Connecticut benefitted from the amenable and generous assistance of a number of individuals. A notable debt of gratitude is owed to Florence Villano, the City of Meriden’s Grants Administrator, Tom Skoglund, Assistant Planning Director and to Mary Dunne, State Historic Preservation Office project director and Stacey Vairo, State Historic Preservation Office, National Register and State Register Coordinator. The researchers have endeavored to generate an overview document and forms that are as up‐to‐date and accurate as possible. This does not, however, preclude the value or need for additional data or corrections.
