In this video I talk about the historic buildings on Main Street in Wethersfield from the intersection with Church Street north to Hanmer Park. I cover the Greek Revival-style John Williams House, the former home and office of Dr. Erastus Cooke, the former church that’s now Griffith Academy, the former Masonic Hall, the Simeon Belden House, Comstock, Ferre & Co., the Rev. James Lockwood House, Trinity Episcopal Church, the Charles C. Hart Seed Company, the site of the Stillman Tavern (where Rochambeau stayed in 1781), the Second Empire-style Edward Robbins House, the houses of Allyn, Timothy and Henry Stillman, the Lemuel May House, the former High Street School, the houses of Francis and Capt. John Bulkeley, Ebenezer Talcott and Maj. David Hills, the Mansard-roofed. Capt. Daniel Francis House, the Cape. Jesse Goodrich House, the Porter-Belden House (some of its paneling is now in the Brooklyn Museum), Hanmer Park and the impressive brick Samuel Woodhouse, Jr. House.
