John C. Anderson built his grand Second Empire house on Orange Street in New Haven in 1882. Six years later, a matching mansard-roofed carriage house was built on Lincoln Street, directly behind the main house. The building features ornately carved brownstone window trim.

There used to be a large cupola in the middle of the central pavilion. Today I believe this is the remnant of the convent that the house was left to. I always walk by and see nuns puttering around inside.
