One of our favorite antique pieces is this Queen Anne secretary/bookcase attributed to Elijah Booth (Woodbury, CT). Although documented furniture tied to Elijah Booth does not exist directly- this piece has the longest attribution to him #queenanne #woodbury #americana

Picture of the back of the barn. The entrance on the right (with heart cut-out) is the outhouse.

The interior shutters (in the two front rooms on the lower level) are original to the house and never have been painted. While we were tempted to paint them- we decided not to be the first owners in 260 years to do so.

Our house was the backdrop for a photo shoot in "Man of the World" magazine in 2015 (a year before we purchased the house)

The first picture (hand-tinted) entitled “A Glance in Passing” is dated 1908. The second picture (dated the near the same time) entitled “Who’s in the Parlor?” was published in Nutting’s “Connecticut Beautiful” (1935). The last picture is the foyer today.

Winter has arrived in New England at the Jabez Bacon House. Looking festive for the holidays.

The main bedroom originally featured wallpaper (1789) printed by French firm Jacquemart et Bénard. In the1920s, all of the wallpaper was sold to Winterthur. The first pictures show the wallpaper displayed at Winterthur. The circa 1900 pic shows the wallpaper in the main bedroom

We were lucky to acquire a set of six of these chairs, made in Woodbury around 1780 and with ownership tracing back to Jabez Bacon, the original owner of our home. The black and white picture is from Edmund Cooke’s book Fiddlebacks and Crooked Backs...
