More info

The Arcade building, at 61-65 Water Street in Stonington, is a nineteenth-century Greek Revival commercial building, constructed in the wake of the fire of April 1837, which destroyed the commercial center of Stonington Borough. The building has contained numerous retail establishments over the years. In 1952, the building was given as a gift by Colonel Frederick Horner to Historic Stonington (formerly the Stonington Historical Society). The Arcade was then converted into an office and apartments. Several Stonington locations were used in the movie Mystic Pizza (1988), including the Arcade, which was temporarily repainted from white to a buff color for the filming.
