Litchfield County Jail

[1] The facility, controlled by the Connecticut state government, historically held inmates convicted of minor offenses, and it had a capacity of 120 prisoners.

[3] Russell Barton commissioned architect Milton Gregory Grew, AIA of Woodbury, CT to design the rehabilitation and adaptive reuse of the building.

Barton, his partners, and architect Milton Gregory Grew, AIA attended many meetings with the Borough of Litchfield Historic District Commission reviewing design proposals.

The Historic District Commission eventually approved Grew's design for an elevated walkway and ground level terrace to allow pedestrian access to the building on the side facing the Green.

As construction came to a close in late 2018, the building had been converted to four luxury residential apartments, two financial advisory firms, a bakery, several boutiques, and a popular restaurant.
