The house of Timothy Goodman, on South Quaker Lane in West Hartford, was built sometime between 1750 and 1771. Timothy Goodman, who owned a tavern at today’s Bishop’s Corner in West Hartford, donated a parcel of land to the West Division’s Ecclesiastical Society in 1747 for use as a parade ground. This is now known as Goodman Green in West Hartford Center.

    My dad grew up in this house! He lived there from when he was born in 1955 until he went to college. Said it really had to be overhauled after his mom eventually moved out. When he was a kid, the wiring dated back to about the ’30s.
