Scope and Contents The Connecticut Junior Republic includes many buildings. It was established in 1904 on the 80 acre farm left to the George Junior Republic by Mary Buel in 1900. Photographs include Gov. Weeks in 1909 at a flag raising with what may be the Mary Buel house in the background. This house burned down in 1914. Also the Administration building built 1915-1917 to replace the Buel house. For further information about the Connecticut Junior Republic, see the Connecticut Junior Republic...
