The house at 270 West Main Street in Waterbury was built about 1910 for real estate developer George Schlegel. The Colonial Revival house stands out for its distinctive circular “wedding cake” porches, which have Tuscan columns on the first level and Ionic columns on the second level. The house has long been home to Mulville Funeral Home, founded by Joseph Mulvill in 1891.
