This brings back a lot of memories about my step-father, but they are all great ones. These words don't even discribe who Don real was and still is in my heart. Thank you for the photo's
I use to live in the old white house across the street from this building when I was in the Navy, some 20 years ago. I have been trying to see if this house is still standing. This is as close as I have come. Could you help be with this. Any help wopuld be appricated.
I like your collection! I just found out yesterday that this statue was made in the image of my Great Great Grandfather, Frederick L. Allen who was once Mayor of New London. (and was also a fireman)

Thank you again for giving us a print of this lovely shot - the detail you got of that window is terrific. Best of luck with documenting other towns and libraries, I'm very pleased you chose Durham - stop back anytime to say hello. Valerie

Jerry, beautiful picture - your second trip to Durham was as productive as the first. What a wonderful hobby and so good of you to share it with everyone. Valerie
This is a view from the dance floor area toward the tip of the Park. The fountain is the Vietnam War Memorial Fountain, and in the background, is the Central All Wars Monument, erected 1924, and the footprint of the Coe House beyond that. You can also barely see the copper beech tree that is over 100 years old!
Hi! Thank you for coming again to Coe Memorial Park. What you see here is the entrance to the footprint garden of the Park. The walls you can see are actually the footprint of the actual Coe house that once stood on the grounds. you may contact me if you need additional photos, or check out our new website, www.coememorialpark.com

my father and family (my grandparents) were from Torrington, Ct. Oh what fond memories I have looking at these pictures. I just typed in Torrington, Ct and Hohensee's and this site came up. I really enjoyed the photo's. My uncle Earle Hohensee's name is on the WWII Memorial in Coe Park. He was killed on a Destroyer he was serving on in the war. Thanks again for the great pictures. I'm longing to make a trip up there!!!!
Thank You! Cheri Hohenseee-Wigginton Toms River, NJ
My grandfather's name is the first name on this monument. Looked at it a few times before I actually noticed his name inscribed there. This is the third photo I've found with a family members name on it. Thanks again for the great pics!

Hi! I love seeing pictures of Coe Memorial Park, esp coming across them by accident. My family gave Coe Memorial Park to the Town of Torrington by deed in Nov 1906. It was open to the public 1907. This year, June 10, 2007, we are having a 100th birthday party to celebrate the gift! A lot has been done to improve Coe Memorial Park since this pic (which appears to be 2005?). Come and see the difference, or contact me and I'll send you an updated pic! Sue Holbrook, Coe descendant and Member, Coe Memorial Park Subcommittee
