Avon Old Farms School located in Avon, Ct. is one of Hodge Surveying’s ongoing projects. The school was founded in 1927 by Theodate Pope Riddle Connecticut’s first female architect as a school for boys.The buildings were constructed with stone and oak from the property using English Cotswold and Tudor styles and old English engineering and construction techniques. The school received recognition as an architectural masterpiece. Later during WWII the school was closed and used as a hospital for blinded Army veterans. The latest project is staking of drainage structures in the Pope quad where new grading and new bluestone walks will be installed. In years past we also have laid out the foundation for the new science center, student union building, wood shop and resurfacing of the running track
