Warren Schoolhouse

The one room Northeast School House was on what is now known as Hardscrabble Rd., Warren, Conn. It had been closed for a number of years, but was reopened in September, 1911, after the Krasenics moved from the Bronx, NYC to the 360 acre Comstock Farm in July, 1911.

The teacher was Miss Marion Stone, Merryall, New Milford. It was
her first teaching assignment after graduating from Normal School.

She later married Charles Perkins and did not teach the
following year. Miss Evilyn Tanner was the teacher the following two years.

The Northeast School may have closed after the Krasenics moved from the Comstock Farm to the Morgan Farm on what is now known as Brick School House Rd.

A Miss Keogh taught the school on the NW corner on the junction
of Rt. 341 and Brick School Road. The school house is now part of the house on that corner. A nephew of Mr. Florio lived in that house.

Selectmen’s Meeting Notes
August 3, 2004

Present were Jack Travers, Miriam Smith and Cal Tanner

Minutes from the previous meeting were read and approved.

Jack Travers stated that the playground at the Warren beach was completed and would be open for use once inspected by the Park and Recreation Commission.

A town meeting will be held on Friday August 27th at 8p.m. to discuss and vote on the Lake Waramaug Agreement with the state concerning public boat access. After lengthy discussions this agreement will allow 20 non residents per day use of the lake. There is concern if the 3 towns (Warren, Washington and Kent) reject this proposal, the state could allow unlimited use.

There is a Foundation for Community Health Assistance Fund. Anyone in need should contact Jack Travers.

Homeland Security update is to be alert to any suspicious happenings in town and contact the state police.

The roof to the library has been replaced. The work was completed by Brian Wilson.

Underground wires now connect an emergency generator to the fire house, town hall and academy.

The meeting was adjourned at 5:05 p.m.
