Unionville is the westernmost village in Farmington, Connecticut.
At a time when big box stores like Home Depot and Lowe's are threatening local merchants,
it is satisfying to see that a Unionville building supply company, Sanford & Hawley,
seems to be doing well enough to keep its building (dating back to 1790) nicely maintained.
Home to a fire fighting company, I doubt a modern fire engine fits inside.
A Civil War monument stands in front of the First Church of Christ at Unionville's main intersection.
Unionville has many older homes. This Victorian house on Route 177 caught my eye.

Wonderful homes. I will be traveling to New England in two weeks, and I'm looking forward to little towns like this one. Any tips for me?

I love the architecture of that last house.
That is certain one of the best looking firehouses I have seen. Home Depot moved into our town and several lumber yards and hardware stores went out of business. I hate to see that.
The Victorian house is wonderful, Jack !
Some nice architecture in that town. I do like the old firehouse and that Victorian house.
What a nice looking town that is, Jack. Love the Victorian house - here it would be brick.
Nice houses.
The last one looks like Pippi Longstocking´s house ( from the film )
Some impressive architecture here!
Love the fire station; some of the old ones here have been turned into condos. Looks like the one you featured could do the same thing.
What a sweet looking town. That Victorian house is a real confection. And the monument is interesting. You don't see Civil War monuments out here on the west coast.
