The Orrin Shailer II House, on Saybrook Road in the Shailerville section of Haddam, is a clapboarded Greek Revival house, which interestingly has a front door that is not placed in one of the outer bays of the facade. The house was built in 1856 by Orrin Shailer II on land sold to him by his father, Joseph Shailer. The gable window was added later in the nineteenth century.
