The John Marsh House, located near Hartford’s border with Windsor, is the only eighteenth century house remaining in the city’s North End. It was built in 1783 by Hezekiah Marsh for his son, John Marsh. The Marsh family farm has long since been developed and even the house’s front yard has been significantly reduced. The home’s Greek Revival doorway is a nineteenth century alteration.

    We grew up in this house in the 1950’s. Was white then barn red. Now blue.
