We drove to Milford, Connecticut to have lunch with my sisters. We drove by the pond behind city hall and I was stunned to see what the Congregational church looked like. This church is a landmark in Milford and a photographer's delight. If you are in the right place, you can see this church reflected in the Duck Pond behind city hall. It is a classic photograph that I first took as a high school kid with my Minolta Autocord camera in black & white. Turns out the church steeple which goes back to 1825, if I have my facts straight, is in dire need of repair and reinforcement. The cost is estimated to be $500,000.
This church and this scene IS Milford! Here is what the church looked like before the restoration began. Church Before Construction

Love the classic photo of the church and reflection in the duck pond. A major undertaking for the church.
It is wild to see all the scaffolding surrounding the church steeple. Seeing the Congregational Church reflected in the pond is a classic. Our neighbors, the Brockett family went to this church. The father, Peter and Roger, one of the sons both worked at the church for years so it has always seemed special. Betsey
