According to one source, the Scudder-Smith (or Smith-Scudder) House at 17 Main Street in Newtown was built in 1905 as a two-family house for two sisters. It was also the home of Arthur J. Smith, publisher of the Newtown Bee newspaper which began in 1877.

    Hi, I just purchased a shingle style home in Wisconsin and I love the paint color of this house. I would love to replicate the paint job. Would you kind enough to send me the type and color paint that was used on your home. Thanks and you have a beautiful house.

    I lived in this house in 1966-1968 with my mother, two brothers and sister. It was a grand home. It had been turned into a duplex at that time. Some very happy, wonderful memories in this house!!!
