Leverett Thomas House, Bethany

Real estate sites date the house at 11 Fairwood Road in Bethany to 1825. It was certainly standing by the time it was deeded to Leverett Thomas by Hezekiah Thomas in 1841. It was acquired by Justus Peck ten years later and in 1889 it passed to his son in law, Samuel R. Woodward. Peck and Woodward ran Clover Nook Farm, down the road. The house was divided into two tenements that housed farm workers. In 1905 Woodward sold the house to Nelson J. Peck, who added the porch on the left side. Peck and his family lived in the house until 1922.
