Throwback Thursday: Do You Remember...?

ENFIELD, CT — In this weekly series, Enfield Patch publishes a photo of a business or landmark in town that is no longer in existence.

Today's offering is a bit different than usual, because the subject is still very much thriving, and the building is still in use.

We go back more than 40 years, to a 1970s shot of the original site of Asnuntuck Community College at 51 College Street in Thompsonville.

Asnuntuck, an Indian word meaning "fresh water," began offering classes in 1972 in the former North School. In 1974, the campus moved to a warehouse situated at 111 Phoenix Avenue, now the site of Enfield Superior Court. The campus moved in 1983 to the former Kosciuszko Junior High School building at 170 Elm Street, where it remains today.

The building at 51 College Street was vacant for many years before being acquired in 2004 by North Street Enterprises LLC. It is currently home to Housing Enterprises, Inc.

Enfield Patch invites readers to share memories in the comments section below.
