Mostly unknown is that Waldemere was not completely bulldozed. A section of it was kept intact and floated by barge to an adjacent area in Stratford, CT called Lordship. It is believed to be the center section. It is located at 1 Pauline Street, Stratford, CT and was once owned by the noted actress Nancy Marchand of the TV series “Lou Grant” fame. It might still be owned by her daughter Katie Bowe. I grew up in Lordship and we often admired this home’s gingerbread style on the bluff overlooking Long Island sound.

@gerihughes1290 Lordship was really an ideal and special place to grow up in. Even Lordship Elementary School was such a great school and I always have remembered my teachers there, MSs. Everette, Bason, Donning, Koverchek and Cannon but especially our Principal Mrs. Coles. There is a great website for Lordship history which has much information. Many great places for us too, Gerstills Drug Store later Community Pharmacy with Marty and Nina Palukis, and soda fountain, the Long Beach Skating Rink, Pansy’s later Nick’s Hideaway and later Marnick’s, Eddie Mariano’s, Malafronts Grocery actually called East End Market, our churches, Our Lady of Peace, the Congregational Church, Boys and Girl Scouts, the Lordship Fsthers Club, Aherns, later Maracis, Howies, the Cricket, and many more. Hope you check it all out down memory lane!
