Last week's question was "Where Was This Photo Taken?" Dave Gabriele guessed that it was "of the little league baseball field at Beachland Park along Troutbrook. Currently the field is now a soccer field."

The answer provided by the Noah Webster House & West Hartford Historial Society is: "The flood in 1955 washed away the fields of Beachland Park, and all that remained was the scoreboard and back fence."
