Bantam, Connecticut. Tree-lined Lafayette Boulevard--Route 25 to the motorist passing through Bantam--is the "main stem" of the town. The "Photo and Gift Shop," directly opposite the post office, is open all year, although its real business is done during the summer; at that season Bantam and the nearby town of Morris are host to some 350 vacationers at Bantam Lake, which is mainly in Morris. Below the shop is the office of Bernard C. Roeberg, the town's leading real estate dealer who is also principal of the Bantam School, a corner of which may be seen to the right. The large building with the water tower at the bottom of the hill is the Connecticut Electric Company, which has not yet started to enjoy the increased business brought to Bantam by the war program. Opposite this plant is a brick building used by the state highway department for storage. A section of this building is devoted to a small shop employing, at most, six people. Here bathrobes are occasionally turned out. No one was seen in the shop during the ten days the OEM (Office of Emergency Management) crew was in Bantam, although there was always a bunch of keys hanging in the locked door
