Fairfield Hills Hospital

The facility still stands, just southeast of the center of Newtown; the campus was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2024.

Dedicated to a common development theme, the institutional buildings were of a modified colonial style, built of red brick and attractively accented.

In addition, the first commercial enterprise on the campus, NewSylum Brewing Company, opened its doors in June 2020 after extensive renovations to the former Stratford Hall Building.

Additionally, the tunnels were used to convey food from the central cafeteria (Bridgeport Hall) for patients confined to their residence buildings.

The tunnels provided an accessible path for a major portion of the underground water, telephone, heat and electric power grid.

The Town of Newtown established the Fairfield Hills Authority, a municipal development agency, to implement new construction on the site.

This calls for reserving a major portion of the property for municipal and cultural use, as well as passive and active recreational use.

However, the campus does still contain walking trails and paths for the public[7] and a new building has been built on the site called the Newtown Youth Academy.

It was paid for by private funders and features an indoor turf field, basketball court, and full workout center.
