  You forgot to include 981 Saybrook Road as a historical home. It is the Joseph Smith House built in 1870. The facade is three story and is an elaborate Victorian picture structure. Topped with steeply pitched, gable-to-street roof, the house is ballon framed. The facaed is elaborately decorated with filigreed bardgeboards and a pedant drop at the peak. The second story features a Carpenter gothic style wrap around balcony porch with decorative cut out works balustrade. The balcony, added in the 1930s is supported by brick columns and simple square posts. Joseph A Smith (1831-94) was a shoe maker by trade. In 1892 Anna Waring Groves Kelsey purchased the home. She was the wife of Bejamin W Kelsey. Bejamin Winston Kelsey, the youngest son of Benajmin and his first wife Rebecca served in the US Dragoons (1854-59)

  This index only includes homes that I have taken pictures of and written about for this website. It is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all historic houses in town. I will add to this list as I do more posts. I haven’t done 981 Saybrook Road, but I will keep it in mind for the future.
