The Timothy Lester House, on Orange Street in New Haven, has been linked to the architect Henry Austin, but the details of its construction are unknown. Built in 1846, it may have been the first, and is certainly one of the earliest, Italian Villas (including a prominent tower) in New Haven. Lester worked for a boot manufacturing company.
