  IIRC the mansion burned down in the mid 80s. I used to attend an EMT class at the former Franklin school (now Burton International) and rode by it on the Trumbull bus each day. I adored that building and it broke my heart when it was torched.

  not sure…i just always remember it as a forest with a nifty smokestack peeking up above.

  as far as the structures, i dunno. i would have to guess theydve been demo’d in the 80s?

  Yeah – I guess that’s the library that used to be connected to the house.

  any ideas when this stuff was flattened ?

  Yeah – the main house and the adjoined library were razed quite some time ago, but I do not know when exactly.
