| Pleasant Street, front of former Washington Middle School. |
The house at 57 Pleasant Street seen inset to the left above is soon to be demolished. Once upon a time the house could be seen from the windows of the former location of Washington Middle School/the old Meriden High School building. The interesting larger and more grand home that was located at the front of 57 Pleasant Street is gone, replaced by a brick apartment building. If memory serves, there once were a row of garage-barn structures to the back.
A side view of the house shows the near-level brick foundation; a picture window (not seen) overlooks the valley and must have given spectacular views of the Hanging Hills of Meriden and Castle Craig.
Story details linked here about the demolition as reported in the Record Journal.
