The house at 880 Hopmeadow Street in Simsbury, named for Miss Adelaide Wilcox, was built in 1852-1853 and has been owned by a number of prominent families associated with the Ensign Bickford Company. Originally having an Italianate design, the house was altered to the Neo-Classical Revival style around 1900. Also added was a third floor with a grand ballroom. Since 1950 the house has been the Vincent Funeral Home.

What is your source for the house being converted in 1969 as opposed to 1950, which is what the website for Vincent Funeral Home indicates?
Vin,
It could have been from one of the links in the post that’s no longer active. I have changed the date to 1950.
Thank you. Keep up the good work.
