A Stick Style residence dating to 1882 (or perhaps as late as 1892?), the Turner House is located at 274 North Main Street in West Hartford. A farmhouse, it was probably built by Daniel Lord, who died in 1893. The farm was then purchased by Margaret Turner, who farmed it with her husband until the 1930s. The land was then sold for a housing subdivision known as Sunny Slope. The house has an interesting external brick chimney that passes through the bargeboard trim at the gable end facing North Main Street. The picture above is a more recent one (April 2017). Below is the original image for this post:

I live next two houses away from this house. It was recently sold and is being rehabbed. I have photos if you are interested to see. Not sure they are sticking with “stick” conventions … but a huge improvement is happening before my eyes. It is a real beauty!
