The Greek Revival house at 10 Main Street in Bethel was probably built by Frederick Shepard (1815-1894), who came from a family of hatters and was also a lawyer. He used the house as his office. The 1879 Bird’s Eye View of Bethel shows a now-lost gable-roofed structure in front of the house. Around that time, Shepard served as town clerk and was an enumerator for the 1880 census.
