Picture South Windsor - Then And Now
An old photo and brief story from South Windsor's past, and how that site appears today.
SOUTH WINDSOR, CT — Today's look back in time dips into the 1961 edition of the Ellsworth High School yearbook, The Ellsworthian, where we find an advertisement for Fishman & Sons, Inc.
The company provided air conditioning, ventilation, roofing and sheet metal services from its headquarters at 300 Pleasant Valley Road. Of particular interest is the old-fashioned telephone number, BU-9-2711.
A descendant of the company is still in operation at the site. H. B. Fishman & Co., Inc. was established in 1979 by Herbert B. Fishman to fulfill a need in construction consultation, specializing in moisture protection for industrial, institutional, historical and residential facilities.
