Picture Enfield - Then and Now

ENFIELD, CT — Today's installment of this weekly Enfield history series, courtesy of the wonderful photo book entitled Enfield: 1950-1980, features an aerial view taken in the 1960s of King's Korner, at the junction of King Street (Route 5) and Depot Hill Road.

Dominating the photo is the Della Construction Co. office building and construction yard, founded by Nick DellAquila. That area of Depot Hill Road is currently home to Tri-State Kenworth.

The small businesses just east of the construction company along Route 5 included King's Korner Service Station, King's Korner Package Store, King's Korner Barber Shop, Sue's Luncheonette and the King Street Market.

Today, the sole business in that stretch is the YardeHouse Tavern. A more recent photo of the area, courtesy of Google Maps, is shown below.

Enfield: 1950-1980, produced by Jim Malley, is a collection of pictures taken by his father, renowned local newspaper photographer Edward Malley.

He was a charter inductee into the Enfield Athletic Hall of Fame in 1996.
