UPDATE: This house was destroyed in a fire on June 7, 2023.
Ira Shailer, a descendant of Thomas Shailer, one of the original settlers of Haddam, built his house on Syabrook Road in the Shailerville district of Haddam. It was built in the 1790s, sometime after Shailer married his cousin, Anna Shailer, around 1790. Members of the Baptist Shailer family kept to themselves in their own settlement of Shailerville, often marrying cousins and avoiding outsiders.
