Located at 1 Blacksmith Hill Road in Middle Haddam in East Hampton, the Ira Lee House is a Federal-style home built in 1806. Lee was described, in The History of Middlesex County (1884), as “a prominent citizen of Middle Haddam, and at one time a justice of the peace and judge of Probate.” His house reflects a common rural variety of the Federal style, with the structure following a traditional center-chimney colonial design, the Federal details being restricted to the elaborate doorway. The house has its original six-paneled door.
