In the process of researching old homes, sometimes they are not where you expect them to be. The home/farm in this picture is shown at the intersection of Thompsonville Road, River Blvd. and Burbank Ave., NW corner. It was built by Asa Manchester in 1835. It was listed as J. Sperry on the 1855 map and D. Cowen on the 1869 Suffield map. It’s now at 890 Burbank Ave. It’s a three family, but all the farm buildings are gone.
