CITY’S GROWTH
(Continued from Page One.)
Considered extremely high for ad-
mission to a play. Members of the
casts of the various shows would
stop at the old Norwalk hotel, then
at its heyday. and which still stands
in the same place, and the Connecti-
cut Hotel which stood where the
Boston store is now located."
“The two hotels were the center of
attraction when ever a play came to
town. Horse cars ran down West ave-
nue to the Railroad station which
was opposite the Mohnckcmo hotel
and then back to the honey barn in
Wall street. I remember that Barney
Cummings was one. of the drivers
and William McMullen had charge
of the car-barns and horses. Gould
Hoyt was conductor and always had
his change. silver and pennies in his
coat pockets. half on either side
claiming that carrying his money in
this way helped to balance him.
Plnkey Finch was the hack man who
carried many travelers between the
depot at South Norwalk and the Nor-
walk and Connecticut hotels. Finch
was quite a. character and was well
known. Once a year. the town wok:
up and showed great life during the
agricultural {air held on the grounds
opposite St. Mary's cemtery.
"South Norwalk. at that time, was
a. very small place known as the
Old W‘ell. The well with its long
wodden arms stood about where the
Mohackemo hotel lobby is now with
a small hotel in the rear: the rail-
road station platform across the
street. and a few stores scattered in
the immediate vicinity. At that time
the south end now known as Ely ave-
nue was a. hill of very rough land
with only one house on the summitt
of the hill. West avenue was consid-
H‘ed one .0! the moat beautiful ave-
cues in the stem bordered on both
sides with its carpet-“like lawns.
stately rims. maple. and pines. At
that time the population was small.
"I remember, Green's express be-
cause of an accident which happened
in connection with it on West sve-
nue. Green operated the Wagon and
ii. men by the name of Lightbleu op—
erated a baking wagon. The two
locked wheels one day and the local
paper told the happening the follow-
ing day. -
Coming back to the old town
again. we cannot but help noting the
wonderful change that has come
over it. The upper part known as
No'rwalk has improved wonderfully.
