Exploring the Nutmeg State One Building at a Time

Building Type

1684 King Street, Enfield (1820)

The house at 1684 King Street in Enfield was built c. 1820. It is an excellent example of a brick Federal style house with four chimneys and an entryway featuring sidelights and a fan window. Starting in 1953, the house was home to Crands Candy Castle for almost fifty years. John Crand and his family lived on the second floor of the house and manufactured and sold candy on the first floor. After he retired in 1963, he was followed by his sons, Tom and Robert. Tom retired in 1990 and Robert continued on until the business closed in 2001. The house is now a private residence.

151 West Broad Street, Pawcatuck (1865)

The Italianate house at 151 West Broad Street (now 1 Morgan Street) in Pawcatuck was built c. 1865.

83 East Main Street, Clinton (1790)

The hip-roofed house at 83 East Main Street in Clinton was built c. 1790. It was likely been altered later on in the Colonial Revival style.

163 South Main Street, Colchester (1840)

The house at 163 South Main Street in Colchester is transitional between the Federal and Greek Revival styles. It was built c. 1840.

29 School Street, Enfield (1865)

The Italianate house at 29 School Street, in the Hazardville section of Enfield, has elements of the Greek Revival style. Some features, such as the brackets, are likely modern replacements of the originals. The house was built c. 1865.

George Kenney House (1846)

In 1846, George Kenney erected the house at 945 Bantam Road, in the Bantam section of Litchfield. He was a partner in Whiting, Kenney & Son, paper manufacturers in Bantam. He and his partners also owned a store across the street, which was later purchased by Edward Crossman. In 1866, Crossman also purchased the Kenney House.

Jonathan Bishop, Jr. House (1750)

The house at 41 West Morris Road, in the Bantam section of Litchfield, was built between 1742 and 1755 (the first mention of the house is in 1755) by Jonathan Bishop, Jr. The left section may be the original part of the house (so the chimney would have been on the right side), with the right section added later. The original chimney would have been much larger.
