Built on Main Street in 1788-1789 for East Windsor Hill’s leading merchant, John Watson. This Adam style house, with a Palladian window and classical proportions, was designed by the architect and builder Thomas Hayden of Windsor. It is the oldest three-story mansion surviving in the Connecticut River valley and resembles the great Federal period mansions built for the wealthy merchants in New England’s coastal cities. It has recently been opened as a bed-and-breakfast.
John Watson House (1789)
Wow, ok, I’m going to try and be civil, but who in their right mind with a blog about historic houses in Connecticut would neglect to include Nathan Hale’s homestead in Coventry. Thats like doing a blog on Armenia’s favorite places without listing Mt. Ararat. Do I have to mention that it is almost Memorial Day and that Nathan Hale, one of our nation’s finest patriots, is the state hero of Connecticut? Please pay the house that Hale once called his home a visit and end this sad neglect.
