Historic Buildings of Connecticut

historicalhomes@gmail.com (Laura) — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 01:58:00 +0000

(The Thankful Arnold House, Haddam, Connecticut c. 1794)

One of my weekly rituals is to check out the latest antique property posted on Historic Buildings of Connecticut. It's a site that features old Connecticut architecture with a photo and short history of a particular house, church or public building. Being an old house enthusiast myself, I was impressed by the sheer volume of the posts and all the information gathered. Did the author of this site travel the state and take all these photos? How much time went into gathering all the background information? Eventually I asked the question myself!
"Dan" was bitten by the Old House bug after working as a guide at the Webb-Deane-St evens Museum in historic Wethersfield, Connecticut. He later went on to the Mark Twain House in Hartford, all the while working on his Masters Degree in American Studies at Trinity College. And his favorite course? Hartford Architecture! He started photographing locally and eventually expanded to nearby towns and beyond. The photos are all his own. He researches provenance on the web and gathers other information from books or brochures. I was planning on featuring two or three of my favorite houses from his collection but couldn't decide which ones to pick! I opted for this smorgasbord of houses. I love nothing more than tons of historic eye candy! So for all you fellow Old House lovers out there, do yourself a favor and visit Dan's Historic Buildings of Connecticut. Along with the historic bio of each property are great links to information on all the associated people and places. You won't be disappointed!

Historic Connecticut Barns

historicalhomes@gmail.com (Laura) — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 18:01:00 +0000

(Bridgewater, Connecticut)

The Connecticut Barn is an endangered relic of an agricultural society that is now all but a memory. Despite the present popularity of supporting your local farmer and the restaurant industry's embrace of farm to table products, there is still a shortage of resources available to preserve these New England treasures. Award winning photographer, Wendy Carlson, recently shot a pictorial for The New York Times. Wrapped in a Connecticut winter, these beautiful antiques loom over the white countryside.

Comstock Ferre Complex
243-263 Main Street, Wethersfield

Comstock Ferre is possibly the oldest continuously operating seed company in the nation. It was established in 1820 by James Lockwood Belden as the Wethersfield Seed Company. In addition to its main building, fronting on Wethersfield's Main Street, the property includes a large barn, the oldest section of which was probably built sometime between the 1840s and the 1880s. The property is located in the Wethersfield National Register district and the Wethersfield local historic district. The barns on the property recently faced demolition, but the local historic district commission changed their initial ruling to deny the razing and save the barns. For more information on purchasing this property, contact: James Neckermann @ 860-883-6312 or neckermannj@aol.com

Comstock Ferre sits in the heart of historic Wethersfield.

Description:
Nestled on the southeastern CT shoreline, this elegant home is located in the coastal village of Niantic, within walking distance to pristine beaches, a mile long seaside boardwalk and a quaint downtown center. You will find that there’s a magical balance between lavish elegance and a gentle country charm. Built in 1879, this home started life as a Congregational Church serving the surrounding community until 1963. It proudly stands on a foundation of locally quarried granite, the same which supports the Statue of Liberty. The church weathered many storms throughout the years, from a near devastating fire in 1927 to the loss of the steeple during the infamous hurricane of 1938. The structure was restored to its former glory in 1996 for use as a home and Bed & Breakfast. In 2005 it underwent dramatic changes with an eye toward soft-spoken luxury. This property is offered with magnificent furniture, antiques, beautiful oriental rugs, crystal, china, art, bedding and is ready for occupancy.
Dining Room:
This beautiful room is located in the two-story sanctuary of the historic building. Old mixes with new seamlessly as the original restored wide pine hardwood floors, 19th century windows of leaded glass and soaring tin ceiling are complemented by the addition of period antiques, artwork and a stunning five-foot high crystal chandelier.
6 Bedrooms:
Four bedrooms are in the main structure with two on the first floor and two on the second leading to the Bell Tower Library. All have Jacuzzi tubs and full baths. The windows overlook the beautiful gardens or private patio. The last two bedrooms are in the private wing with their own full baths.
Kitchen:
A spacious room with the finest Commercial Stainless Steel Viking appliances including oven-range, refrigerator & freezer, wood floors, recessed lighting, large table for eating and/or preparation of meals, pantry with 3 sinks, dishwasher and an abundance of shelving for storage.
Living Room:
Although a spacious room, there’s a feeling of warmth with a fireplace, cozy corner for quiet conversation and small reading nook with books shelves. The half bath is conveniently off this room as well as a door leading to the rose garden patio.
Bountiful Gardens:
As you arrive at 14 Lincoln Street, you are welcomed by a beautiful white arbor covered with hundreds of roses at the head of a walkway to the front door entrance that is framed by two magnificent crab apple trees. There are an abundance of perennial, heirloom flower and vegetable gardens. Apple and pear trees, grape vines, rhododendrons and holly all add to these gardens. The private patio not only has magnificent roses surrounding it but also has a Mulberry tree adjacent to it that is over 100 years old --- whimsically called the ’kissing tree’.
Area Activities and Location:
You will find antiques shops, boutiques, museums, art galleries, theaters, restaurants, spas, wineries and much more. Connecticut’s world-famous casinos are within a half-hour drive from Niantic and offer something for everyone - gaming live entertainment, restaurants and shopping. Niantic is very conveniently located about one and a half hours from Boston and two hours from New York City. The bus and train stations in New London are only a few minutes drive.

The Historic Inn at Woodstock Hill

historicalhomes@gmail.com (Laura) — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 00:34:00 +0000

The Inn at Woodstock Hill, Woodstock, Connecticut

It's a winter weekend in Connecticut. And it's January. It's absolutely bone chilling outside, despite the bright sun, and I'm already longing for spring. Not ones to spend the entire weekend hanging around the house in our sweatpants, my husband and I decide to take a little road trip. We head out to the "Quiet Corner" of Connecticut, which is in the Northeastern part of the state for those of you who have never ventured. It's a gorgeous drive, with rolling hills, farms, antique homes and historic Inns. We decide to head to The Inn at Woodstock Hill for brunch. I've been there before, at a glorious summer wedding. For a moment I remember a warm night - champagne in my glass, relaxing after an afternoon ceremony while the sun sets over the surrounding hills...sigh! A mimosa and a warm fire will have to do. As we pull up to the Inn I remember how beautiful it is here. The Inn sits high on a hilltop and the countryside just falls away around it. The sky is incredibly blue and the snow, white. I guess January isn't so bad. After all, I'm about to have a leisurely breakfast, not drive a dog sled.

As we step into the Inn, I realize I've never really seen much of the inside. We spent much of that summer wedding on the patio and well, after that third glass of champagne...let's just say it's all a little fuzzy. I do love old houses, and this is a beautiful one. Big heavy front door, that opens up to a large foyer with a sweeping staircase.

The staff is very friendly and before you know it, we're seated at a cozy table with the sun streaming in a nearby window. Yeah, this suits me just fine. We decide to forgo the buffet, despite the fact that it looks yummy and I LOVE smoked salmon. The Chef/Owner is German, and being the snobby former ex-pat that I am, I know Europeans know good food and am looking forward to my meal. I decide on the Eggs Benedict - the hollandaise sauce is too much for me to pass up. And my husband goes with the featured dish of the day - a Seafood Stir Fry, with lobster, shrimp and scallops - I'll have to steal some of that. I do a mimosa - he a Bloody Mary. Yes, this is the life. I never do brunch anymore. I'm not sure why. I must be crazy because there is nothing like good food and alcohol in the afternoon.

Finally, while awaiting dessert, I mention to the staff that I'm writing a little piece about my excursion and would it be possible to shoot some photos of their lovely rooms. A sweet girl, who's name I forget (sorry, I'm terrible that way) hands me a fistful of room keys and with husband in tow - off we go!

There are beautiful details everywhere. All the fireplaces have hand painted ceramic tiles - just gorgeous.

The house has many rooms downstairs but I can't resist that spiral staircase...

Upstairs it is bright and cheery, I think that the bride from my summer wedding must have been up here getting ready with all her friends and family. I remember her looking down on us on the patio right before the ceremony. I wonder which room she was in. There are so many of them!

Each one is so different...

And so many colors and textures - I love it!

A big, sun filled Suite.

Oriental Carpets everywhere.

And marble sinks...

Here's a coral red room with cathedral ceiling.

I think all these rooms have fireplaces!

And I LOVE the spring green with the white. Almost makes me forget the snow outside!

Private bathrooms in every room!

Heading back downstairs I meet the owner, Richard Naumann. As I mentioned before, he is from Germany, a place I've been many times - and he turns out to be an interesting guy to talk to. AND he can cook! Not sure if he's available ladies (the good one's rarely are). But I must pull myself away. Stacey (did I get it right?!) has served my Dessert Crepes with Chocolate, Banana and Walnuts.

I am so glad I got myself out of the house today. Our little trip to the Inn at Woodstock Hill was just the thing to get me out of my winter doldrums.

Next stop... another beautiful historic estate, now a museum - Roseland Cottage - just up the road!

Federal Hill - Architectural Heaven

historicalhomes@gmail.com (Laura) — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 00:23:00 +0000

Main Street, Bristol Connecticut around 1910

The great city of Bristol, Connecticut and it's crowning jewel, Federal Hill. Incredible architecture every way one turns. Originally an agricultural village, Bristol boomed in the mid-1800s with the rise of manufacturing companies, most prominent among them J. H. Sessions & Son and Ingraham Clocks. Throughout the 1800s and into the turn of the century, Bristol prospered and talented architects were summoned to build homes for the families of industry owners. Most prolific was Joel Tiffany Case (above), designing one gorgeous home after another in the affluent neighborhood of Federal Hill. His houses still stand today, an example of the finest Victorian architecture with period details and craftsmanship no longer found. You too, could be the lucky resident of one of these properties, as many are presently on the market!
