History: Our Past

Built in 1896 by Phineas C. Lounsbury, a former governor of Connecticut, The

Lounsbury House serves as home for the Ridgefield Community Center. Located in

Veteran’s Park and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the house has all

the original charm that existed during Governor Lounsbury’s residency. This center of

Ridgefield life is one of the town’s greatest assets - a shining jewel among the

sparkling gems along Main Street.

While attending the 1893 Chicago Columbian Exposition, Governor Lounsbury was

deeply impressed with the Connecticut State Building, so much so that when he

retired from politics, he built a replica to serve as his family home. Of elaborate Neo-

Classical style, the house is two and a half stories of clapboard with a pediment two

story portico, supported by Ionic columns. Its wraparound porch is as inviting as it is

serviceable.

It is maintained by the staff to the highest standards of historic integrity of

Turn-of-the-20th Century privileged society. Through the efforts of the Women’s

Committee, much of the original work survives— from the exquisite moldings to the

massive doors to the superb staircase with its call to graceful living.

Phineas Lounsbury originally called his home “Grovelawn,” living here with his wife

until the 1920s. At that time, the house was surrounded by beautiful gardens, an

orchard, a greenhouse and a windmill. Its operation and maintenance required an

indoor staff of 14, plus 12 others tending to the grounds. In the early 1900s Phineas

brought many of his wealthy New York friends to visit Ridgefield - some liked what

they saw and built summer houses nearby, adding more sparkle to the town.

A Note from our President:

The Community Center’s mission statement documents our goal of being the

“heartbeat of Ridgefield community life” and positively affecting the lives of as many

Ridgefield residents as possible. We are dedicated to serving all organizations and

residents who can benefit from our programs or enjoy the use of Lounsbury House.

We are fortunate to have as our headquarters the historic, 1896 home of former

governor Phineas Lounsbury. The house is a living symbol of life in Ridgefield, past

and present, and touches the hearts and minds of residents and visitors alike. Its

importance to the landscape of the town cannot be denied.

The entire Community Center family is dedicated to the historic preservation of this

wonderful building so that it can continue to serve the town and its residents well.

More than just a symbol, it is a living, working facility that is available to everyone in

the town for their use and enjoyment.

A comprehensive Strategic Plan, developed and implemented during the 2009 – 2011

timeframe, helped make 2012 a year of significant events and historic preservation

efforts. The Community Center staff, led by Executive Director Di Masters, and

several dedicated committees comprised of board members, incorporators, and

volunteers have turned many aspects of the plan into reality.

We want to thank all of the individuals and organizations who have supported the

Community Center through donations, grants, volunteer efforts, and participation in

our events and activities. Without that support the Community Center could not

function and the future of The Lounsbury House would be in peril. We look forward

to your continued support as we continue our efforts to be a most positive influence

on community life in Ridgefield.

Our Present:

The Lounsbury House at the Ridgefield Community Center, is a non-profit 501(c)3

organization. Membership dues, annual appeals and fundraising campaigns, along with

the house event rentals and tenant income, help offset the mounting costs of

operating, maintaining and restoring this home.

The Center’s Board of Directors concerns itself mainly with the organization’s

function and as well as the maintenance and preservation of the building .The

Women’s Committee was formed many years ago to focus on design and presentation

of the interior and the purchase of fixtures and furniture.

The various programs sponsored by the Community Center are under the direction of

Di Masters, our Executive Director, and supported by two additional staff members

and a caretaker. In addition to community programming and outreach, Di and the

staff manage daily operations, event planning and rentals and oversight of capital

restoration projects. Various committees of our Board of Directors take leadership

and other active roles in the conduct of the Community Center’s activities. Many

Ridgefield residents also volunteer their time and efforts to the success of the

Community Center’s programs. The Community Center’s programs are truly a

community undertaking with widespread participation.

A Word from our Director:

We are seeing positive results that benefit both the Ridgefield community and the

historic Lounsbury House from the work we invested in a strategic plan analysis three

years ago. Of course, it would not be possible without the teamwork of an

invigorated Board of Directors, guidance-providing Incorporators, generous donors,

enthusiastic volunteers and an exceptional staff. The Lounsbury House has

undergone much needed restoration work and community residents and non-profit

organizations are using the property in record numbers.

The parking lot and entryway are restored to the safe and stately condition that is

expected at such a well-used and grand address. All historic third floor windows, as

well as selected second story windows have now been restored, resolving significant

window deterioration and water infiltration problems which have plagued the

mansion for years. Next we will begin restoring the deteriorated historic molding

immediately following the 2013 Crystal Ball.

If all the preservation and restoration progress that has been accomplished was not

enough, we are committed to providing even more program opportunities to the

community and we continue to explore partnerships and alliances to better expand

those possibilities. Much work remains to be done and the challenge of funding these

efforts is significant. I am confident with the help of our loyal supporters we will

continue as the “heartbeat “of the community. The rewards are great for the Town of

Ridgefield, its residents and its organization.

Please join us at the 2013 Gala as it promises to be another spectacular New England winters’ evening of great company, delicious food, lively music and dancing. We anticipate a full house as we honor our own Beth Yanity with the Crystal Ball Award for over 57 years of her tireless commitment and service to the Lounsbury House. The Ridgefield Community Center Board of Directors is proud to honor this very special lady who has been a long time champion of the Ridgefield Community Center. As many of you know, Beth Yanity has been a faithful and committed friend to the Community Center as well as to so many other areas of Ridgefield. Beth is responsible for championing many of the early decisions that have safeguarded the pristine preservation of the mansion that the community enjoys today. It is our great pleasure to be able to honor and thank Beth on the 60th anniversary of the Ridgefield Community Center, an organization she has invested so much of her time and passion in preserving Each dollar that is raised at the Crystal Ball will be used for ongoing restoration and preservation projects at our magnificent “Mansion on Main”.

Tree Festival: November 21-24, 2013

Antiques Market and Fair: Saturday, May 4, 2013

The 50th Anniversary Antiques Market and Fair in May 2012 was a terrific success. The quality antique dealers were on hand, along with the addition this year of the vintage clothing, jewelry and textiles dealers who filled the interior of the mansion. The Ferris Wheel, reminiscent of the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair, the carousel and the delectable food vendors created a family friendly fair atmosphere for nearly 2000 guests on the Lounsbury property. With the distinction of hosting the longest running outdoor Antiques Market in the Northeast, we look forward to our 51st Antiques Market, rain or shine, on May 4, 2013.

The bi-annual Women’s Committee

Holiday Tree Festival takes place

on odd numbered years. All the

proceeds from this splendid festival

go toward the restoration,

preservation and decoration of the

interior of the Lounsbury House.

Some of the Women’s Committee

members have been the

gatekeepers of the pristine

preservation of the mansion since

the 1950’s and the Tree festival has

been enjoyed by the community for

almost as many years.

The tree festival will return again

November 21-24, 2013.

Restoration and Preservation: Paver Projects I and II: The RCC rolled out a paving campaign to raise much needed funds to refurbish the front of the grand entrance to the house. The new pavers that were installed in front of the mansion created an enhanced entryway and a beautiful piazza for the numerousceremonies and memorials that take place there each year. This was completed in August, 2011 and was entirely funded through the generous donation of supporters and grants. The phase II portion of the parking lot restoration, drainage, repaving and lighting was completed thanks to the collaboration and cooperation of the Town of Ridgefield highway department in August, 2012.

The new piazza was installed August, 2011.

Historic Window Restoration: The window restoration project began on October 4, 2011under the direction of contractor Kronenberger & Sons Restoration Company, an EPA certified company with an expertise in historic restoration and was completed on July 23, 2012. The completion of this project should bring to a close the water infiltration that has plagued the mansion for several years and damaged the historic moldings in the grand first floor reception rooms. With water issues resolved, we are ready to begin the final phase of restoration project, the repair and restoration of the historic molding. This final phase will begin immediately following the Crystal Ball on February 11, 2013.
