The Dr. Amos Hull House, built in 1764, is at 744 South Main Street in Cheshire. Dr. Hull used the house as a home and office. He served in the Revolutionary War, dying in camp in 1776. His widow, Martha Hitchcock, then married Dr. Gould Norton, who occupied the house, practicing medicine and running a tavern. The house was then owned by Pliny Hitchcock, who died in 1864 and was a stonemason and one of the leading farmers of Cheshire. In the 1930s, the house was extended by one bay (adding one window) to the right. By 2002, the Hull-Hitchcock House and the nearby John Hull House were in deteriorating condition and in danger of being torn down, until developers who acquired the properties agreed to restore both houses.
