The Alfred Alford House is a brick Greek Revival-style residence, built c. 1834-1838 and located at 3 Main Street in Riverton. Alfred Alford was the brother of Abra Alford, who was the partner of famous chairmaker Lambert Hitchcock, and of Eunice Alford, who married Hitchcock. The Alford brothers continued the manufacture of chairs in Riverton after Hitchcock moved to Unionville in 1842. Alfred Alford’s company also produced wood planes.
