    I live in a 1794 Wheeler house in the next block of Broad St. My understanding is that this Wheeler house is an 18th c house that was changed in the 19th c. Moses Wheeler—one of the 1693 settlers—was the first ferryman across the Housatonic River for which the bridge today is named. His simple tombstone in the Congregational Cemetery behind the Library gives his dates 1599-1699.
