Karmazinas L, FuturePast Preservation, Heritage Consultants, LLC. 2016. Down by the Bridge: A Self-Guided Walking Tour of Suffield, Connecticut's Bridge Neighborhood. Suffield, Connecticut
This walking tour was funded by a Historic Preservation Fund Grant to the Connecticut Department of Economic & Community Development and a sub-grant to the Town of Suffield, Connecticut. From the introduction: " In the summer of 2014, the Town of Suffield applied for, and received, a grant from the Connecticut State Historic Preservation Office for the preparation of a Historic Resources Inventory (HRI). Completed in the Spring of 2016, the purpose of this survey was to enrich the Town’s historical record by adding detailed historical and architectural documentation of 200 significant resources in Suffield. While many earlier studies of the town’s built environment have focused on the town center, a desire to diversify the historical record resulted in previously under-documented areas. As a result, much of this work focused on the rich collection of resources in what is affectionately known as the “Bridge” or “Old Bridge” neighborhood." Fourteen properties are featured: 1. Alvah Allen House, ca. 1831 – 806 River Boulevard; Stick Style House, c. 1880 – 844 River Boulevard; Tavino House, ca. 1890 – 819 River Boulevard; Irving D.
