The survey of a portion of Manchester, Connecticut's historic and architectural resources was conducted by Geoffrey L. Rossano. Fieldwork and photography were carried out between July, 1997 and March, 1998; and was released in April, 1998. The survey represents an inventory of the significant architectural and historic resources of those portions of the Town of Manchester not previously subjected to intensive examination and documentation. Information about those buildings that possess high architectural merit, or that are significantly associated with the historical development of the community. No attempt was made to locate archaeological sites.

There are 6 volumes asspciated with this survey; the first (Volume 1a) contains both background and detail and detail material associated with the project, while the remaining 5 contain only detail information. Each of the volumes can be accessed individually.
