One of the many Colonial Revival houses designed by Alice Washburn in the New Haven area is one at 105 Mill Rock Road in Hamden. Washburn was possibly inspired by the Canterbury style of Federal house, as seen in examples like the Prudence Crandall and Captain John Clark Houses in Canterbury. The house in Hamden was built in 1931 for Clyde M. Hill, professor of Secondary Education at Yale University.
Clyde M. Hill House (1931)
Clyde M. Hill was my grandfather and I spent many times and years in this beautiful and gracious home with my sister,Rinda(as their grandchildren.) Although the house is named for him, it would be a glaring omission not to mention his wife, Doris Knoerle Hill, whose incredible creativity and domesticity have made this house a treasure trove of memories of warm and loving times!
I would like to know the steps in researching historic home, including , arch, builder, families, any relative information to a particular site.
Thank you, Ron Bailey
