The David Lowry Robbins house is an Italianate building with a Portland brownstone foundation, located on East Robbins Avenue in Newington and constructed in 1875 to 1876. The kitchen wing of the house is part of an earlier home on the site, built by Thomas Robbins around 1730. D. L. Robbins was on the committee which planned the incorporation of Newington in 1871. In the 1920s, the property was used as a prison farm for the Hartford County Jail, on Seyms Street in Hartford. In 1966, the house was remodeled to contain four apartments.
