WASHINGTON CONNECTICUT – Another Litchfield County church: The Salem Covenant Church in Washington, Connecticut.
WASHINGTON, CONNECTICUT – Washington was established by the General Assembly of Connecticut in 1742 as “Judea”. Biblical names are common in Litchfield County – Bethlehem Connecticut is a neighboring town. The Congregational Church in Judea had its first meeting in 1741 in a log shed. A meeting house was subsequently built on the town green, completed in 1784; it was destroyed by fire; the present building was finished in 1800. In the late 17th century the name of the town was changed to Washington. The town cemetery is still named the Judea Hill Cemetery.
This is part of my plan to photograph every church in Litchfield County. I’ve selected an image for today that highlights the meeting house’s neoclassical detailing. I’m continuing to explore the quality of out-of-focus rendering.
WASHINGTON, CONNECTICUT – A gray rainy day with a high, flat, unappetizing sky. I fussed with the late fall landscape, but finally settled on this from a visit to a friend’s construction site.
