Picture East Windsor - Then And Now

EAST WINDSOR, CT — The latest edition of this periodic informal history series, highlighting buildings from East Windsor's past and what those locations look like today, finds us back inside the pages of a great picture book called Images of America: East Windsor. Released in 2017, the book was compiled by Ceil Donahue and Jessica Bottomley for the East Windsor Historical Society.

On page 17 is an undated photo, likely from the early 1900s, of the Wesley Methodist Episcopal Church on North Main Street in the Warehouse Point section of town. Originally built in 1832 opposite what is now known as the Old North Yard Cemetery, the church operated in that location for 67 years, until this newer structure was constructed a bit further south on North Main.

Here is a contemporary photo of the church, taken earlier this month by yours truly.

Do you have a photo of an old East Windsor business which no longer exists, to which you own the copyright and which we could feature in this column? Email tim.jensen@patch.com.
