David C. Hubbard House (1825)

The house at 373 Saybrook Road in Haddam was built about 1825 by David C. Hubbard, who was a ship builder and master carpenter employed at the Huntington and Child shipyards at Higganum Landing. After his death in 1841 the house was acquired by Luther Freeman. About 1810, Freeman had started a brickyard about a half a mile north of the Landing. He retired around the time he bought the house and the business was continued by his sons, George A. Freeman and Orrin Freeman, until circa 1850. George inherited the house from his father, but lived at the Landing. He sold the house to Harvey Child in 1870.
