67 Hayward Ave., Colchester

Pomeroy Hall, a merchant and tinsmith in Colchester, purchased a building lot adjacent to his house in 1839. Over several years he built several new houses, one of which, built around 1848 at 67 Hayward Avenue, he sold to Roxy Lathrop, widow of Charles Lathrop of Lebanon. After the death of Mrs. Lathrop in 1875, the house was acquired by Henry Foote, a farmer. After his death in 1884 and that of his widow, Mary Ann Lamb Foote, in 1885, the house was sold to William E. Strong. The Strong family occupied the house until 1946.
