It season. sense
The Norwalk Historical“ House, in
West avenue, Norwslk, now the prop
erty of St. Paul’s Parish, willed to
them by the late Mrs. William K.
James, of Wall street, is to be re
modelled into a two family house and
for the purpose of getting sufficient
funds to carry out the work) a parish
meeting was called for last evening.
The meeting was held ill the church
and a large number were present.
The necessary funds were voted to be
devoted to the work of remodeling the
famous old house, the former home of
the Norwalk Historical and Memorial
Library Association.
This organizatIOn is now located in
the basement of the Norwalkvlai'brury.
or rather they have stored their fur-
niture and other equipment in that
place until suitable quarters are so-
cnred. .
tln the spring the basement of the
Norwalk Library will befitted up, one
room to be used by this association
which the officers and others are at-
tempting to keep alive, though with-
out quarters the task is by no means
an easy one. It is something which
should not die, out and the coming of
spring, when all life seems to be
"picking up." as it wore, will probably
tend to revive the interest.
Just when the work on the remod-
eling of the St. Paul’s house will be
started is not'known definitely, but
It will no doubt be begun in the near
future. ‘
