Title A name given to the resource Old Stone Lobby Made Landmark Farmington News Article, Page2, 1925-07-03 Description An account of the resource An article covering the Old Stone Lobby being made an official local landmark. It is located in the Farmington News, Page2, July 3, 1925. The article reads: T h e old stone lobby at the junc- ture of Church and Uionn streets has: been perpetuated as a landmark of the town by many improvements made by its new owner. Downing V. Osboune . This old pile of huge granite slabs that occupies a pretty plot of ground at the location men tioned some timeago was threatened by demolition and its heavy material became likely'to be used in building. Mr Osborne, whose home is nearby saw the ultimate probability and purchased the lot and lobby. He since has made repairs to the falling masonry, which consists of thick granite slabs fashioned into a square compartment, and has replaced the broken iron bars In door and win dow and restored the huge lock by a facsimile of the original in order to preserve for all time this historic monument. It appears that the lot and material cost only $175" when purchased in 1859 and that the subi- quont structure was the outgrowth for a secure lobby for the town, which to confine violators ot the law who having offended the peace and dignlty of the state, were required to await trial. The lobby was built by reason of a contract made by Col. Louis Bell, one of Farmington's early lawyers and trial justices and also one of the ablest men who ever graced the state. Colonel Bell is highly revered In our national military history, having-been made a brigadier general on the day he was killed at Fort Fisher during the Civil war. The contract further enjoined Ed Barnard, proprietor of the old hotel that formerly occupied the site of the Mrs. Lottie Russell property on Main street, and William Sampson, the stone mason of the town at that town. The last named built the lobby, it is thought, with the intention of coverlng it with a frame structure, which project no doubt was abandoned because of the open- ing of hostilities with the South and it seems to be a fact that the gray pile of granite never was used for the purpose intended However, it is a monument of Farmlngton's early endeavors and a credit to Mr. Osborne, who no doubt finally will dispose, of it as a public benefit.

From page 2 may 12, 1950. The article reads: OLD STONE LOBBY, HISTORICAL FARMINGTON LANDMARK BEING RAZED One of Farmingtons oldest his torical landmarks the old stone lobby situated on the property of Mrs Loren D Hunt. Sr on Church street is presently being razed and altough the large granite blocks which made up the structure, will still remain In Farmington the building itself will soon be only a memory to lo cal residents The lobby isbeing removed by Murray N Daudelin, who plans to use the stones for a retaining wall on his property on Park drive in the Veterans housing project area. The work is expected to be completed this week. The old lobby was constructed in 1839 by W illiam H Sampson according to historical data con tained in the museum at the Goodwin library and although no mention was made of its use it is generally though to have been intended for a temporary jail where lawbreakers were to be conflned until judgment was passed on them. It Is doubtful however if it was ever actually used for this purpose. The razing also serves another purpose a safety precaution. For many year children of all ages have made this a playground and the thought of someone getting seriously hurt while playing on or around it was constantly a source of concern for the owner.

DO Y O U R XMAS SHOPPING NOW - Labor troubles continue to disturb tbe industrial peace of several Massachusetts shoe cities, yet the manufacturers per sist in sticking to the locality where the turmoil exists instead of coming up to Farmington where everything is com posed aod receptive for new business.

Farmington News, Page2, 1918-12-13 The article reads: The signal for the big business and enterprise that is to contribute largely to Farmington's future industrial career was raised on Wednesday morning when operations were commenced in the cutting department at the new factory of the J. F. Cloutman Shoe Company. The new structure, which was completed on December 2, has been an undertaking of almost magic growth, that sprang from tbe ashes of tbe burned factory that was consumed ou tbe site in tbe big conflagration of February 14, 1918. No sooner was it obvious that tbe old building was doomed tban it was announced that it would be replaced with an _up-to date plant. The fulfilment of tbe prophecy was commenced early in May, as soon as the ruins could be cleared away, and a cement fouudation was laid for the structure 200 feet long and 42 feet wide, that would occupy the Main street front on the area between Garfleld and Elm streets. As soon as the foundation was iu the building contract was placed in the hands of Contractor Frank R. Copp, and as is characteristic of Mr. Copp's energy, no time was lost in erecting tbe towering four-story frame that outlined the proportious of tbe big shop. In the course of tbe next few weeks building materials simply flew ioto place while the frame was being enclosed, aod a new contract was placed for laying the matched hard wood floors. As soon as his work was completed, the contract for installing the steam fitting, piping and automatic sprinkler system was put into execution and it is expected that it will be completed the coming week. Plumbing was done by tbe local Read- Esty concern and the wiring and electric fixtures were Installed by the Cloutman Electric Co. All the contract work has been done in a thorough, efficient and expeditious manner that reflects credit on contractors and workmen alike. While there are several small details yet to be attended to on the lower floors, all will be completed by tbe new year and all departments should be running at that time. The plant covers 9,000 square feet of ground, approximately. is four stories high and contains nearly 40,000 square feet of working floor space which is furnished with natural light from 400 large indows. The top story will be occupied by the cutting and a part of the stitching departments; the third floor by the stitching and lasting departments the second by the making, finding and treeing, and the ground floor by the sole leather, packing and shipping, while tbe 150 feet concrete basement will be util izid for stock storage purposes. When in full operation, the plant will employ about 300 hands and will be equipped primarily to produce 200 dozen pairs of shoes per day. Tbe big structure has an imposing appearance and bears on the front in large black letters the name, "J. F. Cloutman Shoe Company." Although the enterprise passed out of the Cloutman bands some two years ago and the plant now is owned by Joseph E. Daly and K.J. Brown, both prominent manufacturers and leather merchants of Massachusetts, the Cloutman name is still retained to identify the business as the same that built up such a wonderful reputation in the New England boot and shoe trade durings a long and successful history of manufacturing in Farmington. The building was produced at an estimated cost of $50,000 and does great credit to the owners and organization that have made it possible for the town to be represented by such a concern. In connection with the factory and directly in the rear is located the steam beating and power plant with adequate facilities for furnishing these requisite needs. Tbe office is an attractive one story adjunct connected with the street floor of the main building and consists of three departments, tbe clerical room, superintendent's office, aud tbe private suite, all of-which are equipped with the most modern appliances. Including steel vault and safes. No unsanitary or unsightly conditions will be allowed about the premises, as a complete lavatory system furnishes all sanitary conveniences in each department. During the time that the new building has been in progress of construction the firm has been producing from 100 to 125 dozen pairs of shoes per day in temporary quarters It has occupied in the Roberta and Curtis factories on North Main street.

Title A name given to the resource Cloutman Shoe Factory Burns Farmington News, Page2, 1918-02-22 Description An account of the resource A farmington news article covering the fire at the Cloutman Shoe Factory in Farmington NH. Page2, 1918-02-22 The article reads: Cloutman Shoe Factory Burns Two Hundred and Twenty-Eight People Temporarily Out of Employment The Biggest Industrial Fire Farmlngton Has Ever Experienced CONCERN TO RESUME BUSINESS IN FARMINGTON The most damaging conflagration that ever visited Farmlngton, reduced to ruins the J. F. Cloutman Shoe Co's big factory wbich occupied tbe site at the junction of Maln, Garfield and Elm streets, last Thursday nlgbt. In less than two hours over a $300,000 loss had been incurred to Messrs. Brown & Daley, owners ot the plant, and although tbe property was insured a big unprotected loss was sustained, the figures of which have not been set. Two hundred and twentyseven hands were temporarily thrown out of employment by tbe raging element, but before the last timbers of the factory fell word went abroad that the structure and Industry would be replaced with all possible speed. Before ten o'clock tbe following morning, plans were being formulated to start the business in temporary quarters while the new shop was being built and equipped for occupancy. A new office of tbe concern was organized in the rooms of the farmington National and Savings Banks and by noon of the following day those out of employment were reassured by the dispatch with which tbe emergency was being handled. The fire which destroyed tbe plant doomed the property even before it was discovered Members of the firm and office force were at work io the office, a one story structure, adjoining tbe sole leather and packing departments, on tbe Main street side, and were unaware of tbe presence of the fire until about 9: 35 when some ladles who occupy rooms in the Frank McDuffee house, directly across the way, noticed a lurid illumination through tbe windows ot the factory and hastened to apprise those in tbe office of the danger. Michael Mack attempted to gain entrance to tbe factory through a door that connected with tbe sole leather room and was driven back by tbe intense smoke and blaze and it was at once seen that it would be impossible to get inside to operate the hose from tbe standpipe. Therefore, a general alarm immediately was sounded from box 45, corner Main and Garfield streets. Moving pictures and other places of amasement were quickly emptied of their patrons and a crowd of spectators were on hand before tbe firemen reached the scene. However, they arrived promptly and under the direction of tbe fire chief, Gyros York, streams ot water soon were turned on the fire which then was ravaging the main structure sections of the two lower stories. Soon, eight lines of hose were playing on the blazs but seemed to have little effect as it was impossible for the firemen to get inside owing to tbe intense heat and smoke and danger from falling machinery which by that time was crashing through the burning floors. Scorching flames burst from the windows ana roof and in spite of the warm and windless night, moving currents of air sucked in through the seething structure and sent tbe flames and sparks mounting several hundred feet in the air until the heat and falling cinders became a menace to buildings within a wide area and a constant watch was kept by citizens and the boy scouts, while details of firemen turned their attention to nearby houses that were in imminent danger. Lines of hose played constantly on the house owned by K. T. Willson and occupied by Dr. Huntress, the garage at the rear occupied by J E. Ricker, the J . F. Cloutman house on Garfield street and tbe McDuffee and W • Uley residences on Main street. The McDuffee place being nearest and in tbe greatest danger suffered tbe worst, the paint being blistered and some water damage sustained. Here tbe boy scouts proved their value as a heroic organization by removing the furniture from the house and the live stock from the stable. The illumination from tbe great blaze lighted tbe sky for miles around and was watched from points of vantage in surrounding towns and cities from whence came insistent calls for reports of news. Tbe telephone line connecting this village with Milton was early put out of commission by tbe cable being burned and wire broken, and much more damage would have been done to the local system bad it not been for the efficient work ot the boy scouts, who, working in well organized patrols, really commanded the situation as regards the telephone system. During tbe most exciting moments ot tbe fire bugle blasts could be heard calling tbe scouts to points where their services were most needed,and too much credit cannot be acoorded the boys for what they accomplished and the cool manner in which they did it. Not until after midnight did tbe crowd begin to diminish. It was an all ntght vigil for the firemen who watcbed tbe flaming mass of burning timbers and debris until daylight. One feature of importance and help in fighting the fire was tbe fact that tbe reservoir was full and good water pressure was available. The original structure of tbe plant destroyed was built in 1873 by John M. Berry and Daniel W. Kimball, both prominent shoe manufacturers of the town at that time. The old shop was a four story building 72x30 feet and faced on Garfield street. Here for a period of years tbe owners did business under tbe firm name of Berry & Kimball. Later, Mr. Berry took over by purchase his partner's interest and manufactured shoes until 1800 when John F. Cloutman Sr., bought tbe shop. During Mr. Clout man's ownership a small addition was built on Main street. At the death of Mr. Cloutman, in December, 1905, his only son, Jobn F. Clontman, Jr., succeeded to the business which he carried on with remarkable success until In May, 1917, he sold out to Joseph E. Daley and Elmer J . Brown who incorporated tbe business under tbe name of the J. F. Clontman Shoe Co. During tbe younger Mr. Cloutman's ownership three addi tions were pnt on, two on Main street extending the plant to Elm, and one on Garfield street. During the present ad ministration an addition was built on Garfield,making tbe entire plant contain 50,000 square feet of floor space, with a manufacturing capacity ot 250 dozen shoes a day. The pay roll of the concern when doing this amonnt of business was $4,000 weekly,so that the temporary loss of the industry to the town can be estimated at a large sum.

It's summer time and it's going to be difficult to get people enthused about turning out to meetings but I can think of about 800,000 good reasons why all citizens should attend. That's ^800,0001 It Is estimated, by r e liable sources, that the sewerage project will cost between $800,000 and one million dollars; about one fourth to be paid by the taxpayers of Farmington. Selectmen Inform us that the Budget Committee is not envolved in passing on this project. However, such a large expenditure might well b e the fit topic of an ex-offlclo investiga tion by that committee, At the time of the last town meeting a com mittee was appointed to supervise this project, Wehope that the mem bers of that committee will have comments to make at the coming meetings. The expenditure of $800,000 should provoke quite a few comments. Over the last few weeks we've received several comments on j u venile delinquency. Seems that two benches at the Babe Ruth baseball park were broken recently, a p parently by Juveniles, While It's really a shame for such things to occur It would really seem that the local teenagers a r e basically well behaved. Like everywhere else, their Is a small minority that just can't seem to stay out of trouble. In cases like this the best a p proach would b e for parents to solve the problem before it b e gins. Contrary to the views of some modem psychologists a well timed and placed strap can have a very beneficial effect, In many cases. m situations where home treat ment doesn't solve the problem it might be a good procedure to hand out more beneficial punish ments to local offenders.The local municipal court has done so in the past; but only on a limited basis. LetB get tough with the few lncorrigibles left in town. Lets put them to work cleaning up the parks, painting street signs, and other projects of benefit to the town. If their caught breaking up the benches at the ball park, why not put them to work building some benches to replace them? The establishment of such a system would possibly cut down the number of habitual offenders. Systems such as this have been used successfully In other com munities and as such are not mere passing novelties. In any event, three cheers for the ma jority of our youth who habitually do the right thing and perhaps a word of warning for those who In sist on disregarding the rights of others.

Not The Oldest...The Newest FARMINGTON -At two o'clock on the afternoon of July Fourth, folks from Middleton, and passers by, stopped at the Middleton Gospel Chapel to ring the church bell in compliance with a request by Gov. John King. Those who pulled the rope had the unique experience of ringing, not the oldest, but the newest and only bell of its pattern in ex istence. The pattern for this bell was put together and turned on an engine lathe in the basement of DiPrizlo's Garage in Middleton by the pastor of the church, Uel A. Gardner. The bell was then Police Install Modern Radio Net FARMINGTON - Police Chief, Carl Worster has announced that the local police department now has Installed a Motorola police radio, base set.
