The farmhouse in Washington, Connecticut, traces its origins to 1783, when it was first constructed during the post-Revolutionary era. Around the turn of the 20th century, it underwent a sensitive expansion led by Connecticut architect Richard Dana, who introduced early modern conveniences while maintaining its colonial character. More than a century later, the house was once again the focus of a careful restoration aimed at preserving the integrity of its original materials and craftsmanship.
The great room’s original brick chimney, shown above, as well as a wood-fired beehive oven—was restored to full use.
