MILO HUNT HOUSE (1790) TODAY IS THE THIRTEENTH ANNIVERSARY OF THIS WEBSITE! AND THIS IS THE SITE’S 4,300TH POST OF A CONNECTICUT BUILDING! Pictured above is the house at 782 Bantam Road (Route 202) in the Bantam section of Litchfield. It dates to 1790, with later additions. A sign on the side of the house attributes it to Milo Hunt (perhaps the Milo Huntborn
in 1765?). In the Historical and Architectural Resources Survey for the Bantam/Milton area,
done in 1987, the building is listed as the Benjamin Johnson House because Johnson (possibly the Benjamin Johnsonwho
lived from 1763 to 1829?)
owned the property from 1786 to 1790. The next owners were the Hunt family, followed by the Catlin, Munger, Wilmot and Stone families. In 1877 it was acquired by Edith Flynn, wife of Charles Flynn, acarriage-maker
who was in a partnershipwith William Doyle
.

WINCHESTER TOWN HALL (1878) There were many controversies related to the construction of the Winchester Town Hall building.
In 1877, town leaders appropriated funds to build a town hall so as to provide a safe place for the town records. Before most people in town were aware of it, these men had moved quickly to start construction of the building in an area called the Flat, part of the central businessdistrict of Winsted
. People in other
parts of town, who thought that the building was unnecessary and too expensive, felt that promoters of the Flat had stolen a march on the voters, but at a contentious town meeting those who wanted to press on with the building won out. An injunction to halt construction was soon dissolved by the court and the building was completed in 1878. Bitter feelings over the episode continued for many years. The building was expanded in 1887 and 1904 for use by the County Court. Plans for a 25-foot addition on the front of the building fell through in 1910, but when this was finally done in 1927, the structure gained a more convenient entrance at street level.Daniel April 28,

DANIEL BARNUM HOUSE (1790)The house
at 16 Main Street
in Bethel is thought to have been built circa 1790 by Daniel Barnum, a joiner and cabinetmaker who was the cousin of P. T. Barnum‘s
father, Philo. In 1825, Daniel Barnum sold the house to his daughter, Anna, and her husband, John Benedict III. The couple sold the house in 1844 to Dr. Hanford N. Bennett(1818-1868
), who
sold it in 1853 to another physician, Dr. Ransom Perry Lyon (1826-1863). During the Civil War,
Dr. Lyon was a surgeon in the 28th Regiment Connecticut Volunteer Infantry. He died during the siege of Port Hudson, Louisiana.
His widow, Sophia, sold the house in 1871 to the Danbury and NorwalkRailroad. The house
lost its original large center chimney when the entire building was moved 150 feet west in 1872 to make way for a new rail line along Main Street that connected the Danbury and Norwalk to the Shepaug Railroad. The building
was then used as a boardinghouse for railroad workers until 1881, whenGeorge M. Cole
purchased the house. He built the addition on the east side of the house, as well as the front porch.Daniel April 17,
