Stopping by the Town Hall offices located temporarily in the same building as Walter Stewart’s, NewCanaanite.com was fortunate to get a few minutes with Registrar of Voters George Cody (D), who was kind enough to talk some about the large painting outside his own office. Cody had commented on a recent post in our “0684-Old” series about WPA murals hanging in New Canaan’s elementary schools. He mentioned that more paintings that had been on the walls at Town Hall (under renovation and scheduled for completion next spring—more on that below) likely will be re-installed when it reopens. The one hanging here, by artist T.R. Colletta, is an artistic representation of New Canaan’s Main Street, looking south from the bottom of Elm Street (in other words, toward the present-day New Canaan Library), Cody said. “You can see the man walking up the hill from Burtis Avenue and you can see where the restaurant [Barolo] is,” he said.
