Letter: Mead Park Brick Barn ‘Could Be Transformed from Blight to Beauty’

Dear Editor:

I have lived in New Canaan since 1980. When my family chose this town over the others in the area it was because we felt the town had more character, more charm, and of course great schools. Years later, when my husband and I were deciding where to buy a house and start our family, the same attributes were compelling. Now, we watch with frustration as small homes with personality are destroyed to make room for yet another large cookie cutter “builder’s Colonial,” while beautiful, irreplaceable mature trees are often lost as collateral damage. The picturesque village quality that could continue to be a draw to this town is eroding rapidly.
