Wilton Historical Society hosts illustrated talk by architectural historians Stacey Vairo and Lucas Karmazinas

On Thursday, September 27 from 7:00 – 8:30 the public is cordially invited to an illustrated talk given by architectural historians Stacey Vairo of Scheller Preservation Associates and Lucas Karmazinas of FuturePast Preservation at the Wilton Historical Society. The pair have conducted a historic house survey primarily focused on buildings dating from 1920 – 1940 in Wilton, of which there are over 400. In all, about 160 structures have been added to Wilton’s Historic Resource Inventory.

The presentation will include information about how the survey was conducted and used, interesting finds, areas that would be appropriate to be studied for historic district designation and much more. The project has been funded by a Survey and Planning grant of $30,000 from Connecticut’s State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) which was awarded to the Society in late 2016. At the lecture, owners of any buildings that appear on the lists will be able to pick up a copy of their home’s history.

Please register: info@wiltonhistorical.org or call 203-762-7257.

Wilton Historical Society is located at 224 Danbury Road. Learn more here.
