310 Church St.

Here it is.....The second installment of my neighborhood.
This is 310, the house next to mine. It too was modified in the last 100 years. Mostly as mine, a wrap around porch was added.

Construction was the same. Started with a City Classics Company house. The only difference is the front porch has ornate wrought iron posts. I couldn't find anything close in brass, and when I tried to scratch build them, they were to bulky and big, so I substituted them with regular poles.

And a little History............

Heres a picture of my neighborhood as it looked in 1907.
This is from a hand drawn map of Torrington Ct.
My house is on the right, next to the mill. Now an insurance company occupies the spot, in a more modern building, the foundation from the mill is still there.

And how it looks today.

Looking good 88! There's something so cool about exact prototype modeling! I really like the old pic from the map too!
