The brick building by the reservoir

Connecticut · United States · House

It is called a house, but inside there is one main room with odd gauges and dials in metal cases.

There is a small brick building near the reservoir at New Britain, Connecticut, described locally as an abandoned home that burned, and the account is that a man and a woman died in the fire.

Inside there is one main room, and in it are gauges and dials set in metal cases.

That detail identifies the building, and it is not a house. Instrument cases in a single room beside a reservoir describe a valve house or a pumping station, part of the waterworks, and municipal water systems have dozens of them scattered around a catchment.

So the fire, the man and the woman all belong to a story attached to a building whose actual purpose has been forgotten.

A young man visiting once called out to whatever was supposed to be there, which is where the rest of the account begins.

The reservoir land is public water company property and is posted.
