ENFIELD, CT - In this weekly series, Enfield Patch publishes a photo of a business or landmark in town that is no longer in existence.
It's not a photo of the building, but instead it's the rather psychedelic cover of the 1974-75 yearbook from Thaddeus Kosciuszko Junior High School.
Opened in 1964, Kosciuszko prepared thousands of students for the next level of their secondary education. Located in a two-story brick building on Elm Street that today houses Asnuntuck Community College, "The Big K" closed in 1982, when Enfield school administrators moved ninth-graders into the town's high schools and shifted all seventh and eighth grade students across town to John F. Kennedy Middle School.
