The house at 455 Main Street in Middlefield was built in 1805 by Esquire Eli Coe (1758-1835), a prosperous farmer, on the site of his father David Coe‘s former homestead. Eli Coe served as Justice of the Peace and selectman of Middletown. A later owner (1867-1888) was Rev. Spofford D. Jewett. During his ownership the house served as a post office.
