On Old Mill Rd. in Georgetown, there is a cinder-block structure that stands between the road and the railroad, about 200 yards south of where the line crosses to the other side of the Norwalk River, and about 0.5 miles south of the CT Route 107 overpass.
What is this building? Is it-- or was it-- railroad-related? The position of the doors and the width of the r-o-w at that spot make me think it's an old freight house, but the location doesn't seem to make sense, since the center of Georgetown, along with the Gilbert & Bennett works and the passenger station, were a half-mile up the line. There's nothing much immediately adjacent to it other than a couple of old houses.
