Down low 1905.

Ah yes 1905, the year of the irrigation accident that created the Salton Sea; the year of the 2nd Theodore Roosevelt inauguration, I remember it. The Black Patch Tobacco Wars were raging in Kentucky and Tennessee. I still mourn the wreck of the SS Mataafa.

A fine view of the weird Mad River on the grounds of a shopping mall in Waterbury, Connecticut. by Tim Kiser

A fine view of the weird Mad River on the grounds of a shopping mall in Waterbury, Connecticut.

Ah the good weird Mad River on a day in late summer.

LATELY ONLINE I have been reading about how this stretch of the river was formerly the pool of the John Dees Pond. In the mid-1990s, the dam that formed that pond was breached and partially removed, and the river was reconstructed, in conjunction with the redevelopment of the adjacent industrial site into the "Brass Valley Center" shopping mall. So that is why the river looks a little off.

-----------------------

In Waterbury, Connecticut, on September 20th, 2021, the Mad River as viewed from a pedestrian bridge on the grounds of the Brass Mill Center, south of East Main Street.

The Mad River flows to the Naugatuck River, which flows to the Housatonic River, which flows to Long Island Sound.

At RENDEZVOUS clothing store in Waterbury, Connecticut. by Tim Kiser

At RENDEZVOUS clothing store in Waterbury, Connecticut.

"Have you got male leggings! I'm looking for a comfy pair of house slippers! What's something I could wear to a pentecostal church in rural Appalachia in the 1980s!" etc etc, some of the things I loudly call out as I enter the store. Then I pratfall into a clothing rack, causing a terrible scene and making an ass of myself.

Oh wow the building is from circa 1950 and it used to say "ROSE" in huge letters, back when it was known as the "Rose Building," site of the Rose women's clothing store. Nowadays everybody calls it the Rendezvous Building of course.

Badly crooked roadsigns of Connecticut Route 8 and Interstate 84. by Tim Kiser

Badly crooked roadsigns of Connecticut Route 8 and Interstate 84.

Ah yes Interstate 84, the famous Scranton-to-Hartford route, I remember it.

Will somebody from the government ever come through and straighten this up? The signs refer to government roads, after all, and are posted on a government sidewalk.

Q: Guess which city this was!

A: It was Waterbury, Connecticut, U.S.

Wasn't the 5th-largest city in Connecticut plainly visible from this hilltop. Wasn't the 12th-largest city in New England all splayed out sunning itself this day in early fall.

-----------------------

In Waterbury, Connecticut, on September 20th, 2021, a view toward downtown from Pine Hill, on the grounds of "Holy Land USA."

The elevated road is Interstate 84.

In Connecticut SEE THE CONCAVITY of a 4-story limestone façade from 1929. by Tim Kiser

In Connecticut SEE THE CONCAVITY of a 4-story limestone façade from 1929.

In my opinion, it was not worth the effort to make the front of the building concave! The workers should not have bothered!

That wacky Queen Anne, of "Queen Anne Revival Architecture" fame. She designed this! by Tim Kiser

That wacky Queen Anne, of "Queen Anne Revival Architecture" fame. She designed this!

No I am just kidding, Queen Anne was not an architect.

I see where nowadays a law firm has its offices here.

See the prominent tower window with the cones above and below it: Its venetian blinds are all messed up. That is depressing!

The house is from circa 1890 but we know the spectacular staircase is from many, many years later.

-----------------------

In Waterbury Connecticut, on September 20th, 2021, "Weisman Tirozzi Attorneys at Law" in a house on the west side of Central Avenue, north of West Main Street.

At a house, a short fat round tower doesn't reach the ground and has a conical roof: This is ridiculous and good! by Tim Kiser

At a house, a short fat round tower doesn't reach the ground and has a conical roof: This is ridiculous and good!

The tower's roofing shingles are sliding down the sides of its cone. The righthand portion of the porch has entered into a "ramshackle" condition.

I see where nowadays the house is primarily an office bldg.

-----------------------

In Waterbury Connecticut, on September 20th, 2021, at the southwest corner of Holmes Avenue and Grove Street.

The house (67 Holmes Ave) is a "contributing property" to the Hillside Historic District, 87001384 on the National Register of Historic Places. According the government of Waterbury, it was built in 1896. According to the inventory of buildings in the Hillside Historic District, it was built in 1894. Who the hell knows which is correct?

Ridiculous "U.S. Queen Anne Style" house from circa 1890. by Tim Kiser

© Tim Kiser, all rights reserved.

Ridiculous "U.S. Queen Anne Style" house from circa 1890.

Is the idea supposed to be that the ridiculous porch was inspired by Queen Anne's ridiculous ballgowns? Maybe!, if "Queen Anne" is either not a queen in the monarchical sense, or is an imaginary character in an alternate history where the U.S. was a monarchy in the late 19th century. The real-life Queen Anne lived across the sea, and died in 1714, and had nothing to with any of this nonsense; and the architecture of her time looked nothing like this.

One small thing the people of the U.S. could do to have a 0.0001%-less-stupid country would be to agree to rename this style of architecture!

Personally I prefer the 1970s-looking wooden balcony enclosures to the gaudy tower and porch.

I see you admiring that Honda Civic from model years 2001-2005.

-----------------------

In Waterbury Connecticut, on September 20th, 2021, on the east side of Central Avenue, south of Gaffney Place. According to Waterbury municipal property records, it is subdivided into offices and apartments.
