The William M. Williams House, on Broadway in Norwich, was built around 1878 and features elements of the Queen Anne and Stick styles. Williams was a partner with the Amos W. Prentice & Co hardware store in Norwich. The house is currently for sale.
Luzon B. Morris was a governor of Connecticut for two years, 1893-1895. He died the year he left office. His house in New Haven was built in 1873 on Prospect Street. It is an Italianate-style house featuring elements of the Stick style. It was purchased by Yale in 1957 and restored in 1990. The building is home to the Gilder Lehrman Center for the Study of Slavery, Resistance, and Abolition.
Adjacent to the Mark Twain House in Hartford is the Clemens family’s Carriage House, also built in 1874. Like the High Victorian Gothic Twain House, designed by Edward Tuckerman Potter, the Carriage House features architectural details in the Stick style. In the second floor rooms, above where the horses and carriages were kept, Mark Twain’s coachman, Patrick McAleer, lived with his wife and seven children. McAleer served Mark Twain in various homes he lived in, from 1870-1891 and 1905-1906.
The home of George Tiffany, built around 1890 on Prospect Street in Willimantic (in Windham), is in the Queen Anne style and features a carousel porch (like the Peck House in Bristol). Like the nearby William Grant House, the George Tiffany House will be included in the 2008 Willimantic Victorian House Tour.
The 1895 William Grant House, at the intersection of Prospect and High Streets in Willimantic, was built in the Queen Anne style, featuring elements of the stick style. It is one of the many Victorian houses for which the city of Willimantic (a “census-designated place” in the town of Windham) is known. The house is currently owned by Eastern Connecticut State University and is used as an alumni house. It will be part of Willimantic’s 2008 Home Tour in June.
