Dr. Reuben Smith House (1770)

On North Street in Litchfield is a house built in 1770 for Dr. Reuben Smith and his new wife, Abigail Hubbard. Next to Dr. Smith’s home was his Apothecary Shop, later moved to Litchfield Green. The house is one of three on North Street known to have been constructed by the well-known builder of churches, Giles Kilborn of Bantam. The structure was altered in the nineteenth century, when the original central chimney was removed. It has since been reconstructed. The house has recently been for sale.
