The Glastonbury Villa, on Main Street in Glastonbury, is an American foursquare house built in 1920 by John Jacoon. The exterior of the house displays rubble masonry on the first floor and stuccoed walls on the second floor. There is also a stone fountain in front of the house. The use of stone masonry is commonly found in Italian vernacular architecture and reveal the influence of Italian immigrants in Glastonbury. The name, “Glastonbury Villa,” can be seen between the two windows and the porch on the second floor, on the side of the house facing Main Street. The home is now leased as a town-owned residential property.
The Glastonbury Villa (1920)
This home is most beautiful. Do you know if it was always a single residence? My uncle who lived and had a pharmacy in Glastonbury told me a long time ago that it was once a restaurant.
I love the way the name “Glastonbury Villa” is
written adoring the front of the building.
This home enhances the area because of its beautiful Italian architecture.
