With this post, Historic Buildings of Connecticut celebrates its second anniversary! That’s two years of daily entries of historic buildings! There are many more to do (that’s an understatement!), so please keep reading!!! For our Second Birthday Post, the featured building is the Jacob and Abigail Strong House (also known in the past as the David Strong House) in East Windsor Hill (South Windsor). This is an early “First Period” or Post-Medieval English home, built in 1698. Originally the home of Jacob Strong and his wife, Abigail Bissell, the house is now the residence of Edward Sunderland of Sunderland Period Homes.

    Hello everyone, I loved living at my old home in the early 50’s, skating the pond , playing in brook, climbing the talest trees. Lived there till 7th grade, 1954. Happy to stop in ’09 and meet Mrs.Linda Sunderland and have met with Mr. Sunderland back in ’84. They are so very nice. Just to see my old home on web site is really something. Thanks Mr./Mrs. Sunderland. Marilyn in Orlando, Fl.
