Sharing Facebook memory: 'Turnback Tuesday' from this date in 2018

Turnback Tuesday features “Another View from Sanford House” painting.

This oil-on-canvas was painted in 1852 by Calvin Curtis born in Stratford in 1822. The Sanford House was the home of Nehemiah Curtis and Nancy Bateman Shelton Sanford and was located on the corner of Caroline and 4th Street in Derby.

The painting is overlooking a canal and the Housatonic River and can be viewed at the Derby Public Library in the Adult Reference/Computer Room.

Thanks goes to the Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week.
