About the model
The third building of my New England series, this building is located in New London, Ct., which I visited on the way during our drive from New York to Boston. I think this town is like one of the best examples of small town USA. It got a number of interesting buildings, which this is the first one of.

About the building
The Plant Building (now called the Dewart Building) at 300-310 State Street in New London was built in 1914 for Morton F. Plant (1852-1918), a millionaire financier who invested substantially in the development of New London. The building contained shops on the first floor with offices and a large assembly hall above. It was designed by architect Dudley St. Clair Donnelly, who had his own offices on the fourth floor. The Plant Building was later renamed for William J. Dewart, the local business manager for Frank Munsey, the magazine publisher who built the Mohican Hotel in New London.
