Maltby Lakes is a set of three reservoirs in West Haven and Orange, Connecticut fed by the Cove River. The reservoirs are designated nominally 1, 2 and 3, each with a corresponding dam. The dams were constructed originally in 1862 with updates in 1992, 1999, and 2011. Maltby Lake 1 Dam is 240 feet (73 m) long. Dam 2 is 800 feet (240 m) long. Dam 3 is 750 feet (230 m) long. The lakes and surrounding area are owned by the South Central Connecticut Regional Water Authority. Approximately 4.87 miles (7,840 m) of trails at the lakes may be accessed by permit. Maltby Lake Dam 1 creates a reservoir holding a maximum of 260.0 acre-feet (84.7×10^6 US gal) of water. Maltby Lake Dam 2 holds 175.0 acre-feet (57.0×10^6 US gal) and Maltby Lake Dam 3 holds 239.0 acre-feet (77.9×10^6 US gal). Lakes 2 and 3 flow into Lake 1.

Henry F. Miller House
Henry F. Miller House

The Henry F. Miller house is an international style house at 30 Derby Avenue in Orange, Connecticut on the United States National Register of Historic Places. The house was designed and built in 1948-1949 by Henry F. Miller as a thesis project for a Master of Architecture at the Yale School of Architecture. The house was one of the areas first modern houses and was featured in the New Haven Register as "The House of Tomorrow". It was open to visitors for a few weeks after completion to raise funds for the New Haven Boy's Club. It was viewed with "wild anticipation," and about 25,000 people paid a small admission to see it. The house was also covered in House Beautiful as part of a series on "The New American Style."This house embodies many characteristics of the International Style, as adapted to the single-family suburban house, including an open plan with movable walls, flat roof, inclusion of modern conveniences, careful attention to environmental and functional considerations, avoidance of ornament, and extensive use of glass. The house was designed to take full advantage of its unique site on the side of a hill. Connecticut has an unusually large concentration of international style houses, including the most famous, Johnson's Glass House. Originally developed in Europe as a new system of building that took advantage of modern technological advances and embraced an unornamented, machine-made esthetic transcending regional or national characteristics, the International Style absorbed some natural materials and regional features in the years just before and after World War II.The following information was a portion of the National Register of Historic Places application form compiled by Christopher Wigren, Architectural Historian, Connecticut Trust for Historic Preservation, Vice President.
