Built in 1860, on Charter Oak Place in Hartford, for the Kingsbury family. The Kingsbury House was later owned by Dr. Richard Jordan Gatling, inventor of the Gatling Gun, the first successful machine gun. A rear addition in the Moorish Revival style was later added to the original Italianate House. This rear section had to be rebuilt after a fire in 1980.

Your blog is *fantastic*! I recently stumbled across it while looking for info on the Silas Robbins house in Old Wethersfield, which is currently open for tours. You’ve got a wonderful resource here; I love architecture, photography, and Connecticut (my home state), so look forward to browsing the materials and visiting some of the houses!
