WPA Architectural Survey
Often called "The WPA House Survey", the Census of Old Buildings in Connecticut, 1934-1937 was a Works Progress Administration (W.P.A.) project. Survey forms provide descriptions of nearly 5,000 buildings. Photographs, sketches, and brief histories of the buildings were also included for many of the houses. The library is currently adding surveys to its digital collections town by town:
