The advent of the Colonial Revival style had a great influence on Litchfield. One of the most magnificent examples of the Colonial Revival style in town is the house at 133 North Street, built in 1895 as a summer home for F.L. Underwood of New York. It was constructed on the former site of Sarah Pierce‘s famous Litchfield Female Academy.
