DescriptionTwo-story center-chimney house. The second story projects slightly, and the central bay of the main facade also projects. According to Barber this projection, labeled "A" was called the porch and was used by Hooker as his study. The drawing was made by "... gentleman now deceased, who devoted considerable time and attention to antiquarian research in Hartford," immediately before the building was torn down.
