Hezekiah Perkins House (1789)

The Federal-style house built for the sea captain Hezekiah Perkins is located on Broadway in Norwich. It is across from Little Plain Green, a triangular-shaped park which was donated to the town by Perkins and his neighbor, Deacon Jabez Huntington. Perkins was cashier at the Norwich Bank and, with his nephews, was also involved in the founding of the Chelsea Grammar School in 1806, which operated for about forty years.
