The Henchman S. Soule House, on Chapel Street in New Haven, is late Greek Revival-style house near Wooster Square. Soule was a sea captain. In 1862, he sold the house to Henry S. Parmalee, a piano maker, founder of the New Haven Trolley line and inventor of the first practical automatic sprinkler system, which he had installed in both his factory and his home. The house was restored in 1999 and is now a bed-and-breakfast known as the Historic Mansion Inn.
