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, like one we did in early October, is a bit different than usual, because the subject is still very much thriving, and the building is still in use.
We go back about four decades, to a 1970s shot of the second site of Asnuntuck Community College at 111 Phoenix Avenue.

Asnuntuck, an Indian word meaning "fresh water," began offering classes in 1972 in the former North School in Thompsonville. In 1974, the campus moved to a former warehouse on Phoenix Avenue, where it remained until the 1983 acquisition of the former Kosciuszko Junior High School building at 170 Elm Street.
The Phoenix Avenue building underwent extensive redesign before becoming the site of Enfield Superior Court.
