Back at the cherry st site.

[B. Dudley]

I was in Meriden this afternoon for some research and decided to stop back by the factory site.

The office building is still standing. In as much disrepair as ever before. Looking no more utilized than it was a year ago, or a few years before that. And for anyone wondering... The stacks of wood pellet fuel pallets are still there. lol.

Looks like it has been painted since 2003 --

Brian, It's best not to go there past sundown. Were you picking more bricks out of the building? It's sad how buildings with the historical value such as this one, are so neglected. It looks like the building to the left is getting more attention.

It wasnt that late. It was early afternoon. The pic just looks dark. But i know what you are talking about. Looks shady around there.

Thanks for posting the new photo, Brian. Maybe we should all pool our lunch money and just buy the place...

What is the building used for now?

[B. Dudley]

I do not know at all. Looks like just storage.

I woild be curious as to who owns it and what the details are. I understand that it was last sold sometime within the past 10 years or so.

I was thinking yesterday that it woild be a neat idea to operate a gun shop oit of it or something.

I'm betting this lady could tell us everything there is to know about the property's current state of ownership:
