Noah Welles, like his father Moses Welles, was probably a hatter and had a shop just north of his house, built in 1790 on Main Street in East Windsor Hill (now part of South Windsor). The new home was constructed after he sold his earlier house down the street. The house is close to the street, owing to the relatively small size of the original lot, purchased by Noah’s wife, Elizabeth. The house was built in the Federal style, with details influenced by those of the John Watson House nearby. Later additions include the veranda on the right side.
