To the Editor:
I am writing regarding Lounsbury House and its significance to the Town of Ridgefield.
As a thirty-nine-year resident of Ridgefield, I have come to admire and appreciate the buildings and architecture that date back to a simpler time.
With all the recent demolition and new construction ongoing, I felt compelled to stop for a moment and appreciate what already exists. Of course, change is constant, and although progress has a role, history does as well.
After recently taking a lengthy walk along Main Street, the beauty and elegance of Lounsbury struck me in a way I had not previously experienced. The architectural detail is nothing short of remarkable and enhances the aesthetics of the entire property and Main Street. I genuinely feel that such a preserved landmark benefits my quality of life.
