The purpose of the Historic District Ordinance is to promote
the education and cultural, economic and general welfare of the public
through the preservation and protection of buildings, places and districts
of historic interest. By the maintenance of landmarks in the history
of architecture of the Town, state or nation, and through the development
of appropriate settings for such buildings, places and districts,
there is hereby established a historic district in the Town of Lyme
to be known as the "Hadlyme Ferry Historic District."
Historic District No. 1 shall be bound as follows:
The northern boundary of the proposed District commences at
a point at the southern bulkhead of the ferry slip, then eastward
along the south boundary of Ferry Road to a point determined by projection
of the northwest boundary of property #1, then north east along this
line to property #1 and following the boundaries of said #1 back across
Ferry Road to #1C frontage, then eastward to a projection of the west
boundary of #2, then north along this line to the rear of #2, then
east to #3 and north along this west boundary to the County line,
then eastward to a point 100 feet +/- across Geer Hill Road, then

at the intersection of the rear lines of #15 and #17, then east along
a line 250" +/- north of and parallel to Ferry Road to the projection
of the east boundary of the Luther Cemetery, then south to the rear
line of #21 at which point go east to the intersection of the eastern
boundary of #21, then south along this line to the south boundary
of Ferry Road, then east along this shoulder to the creek;
thence running southward and westerly along the Creek to a point
in the rear of the Schwartz property #16 from which it would run westerly
along the south (rear) boundaries of Reynolds (#12) and Wilson (#22)
properties to the southwest corner of #12 and thence projecting across
the Prowell property (#11) to the eastern boundary of the Horwath
