Description

Excerpt from State of Connecticut, Register and Manual, 1966: Prepared Pursuant to Sec. 3-90 of the General Statutes, Revised to 1966 The main portion of the two-story, clapboard house was probably built in 1740, five years before the Chief Justice was born there on April 29, 1745. Entered by double doors, a wide central hall with two rooms on either side connects with the east ell that was probably the original 17th century farm house, as it centers around wide fireplaces so characteristic of the earliest houses. The south ell, fronted by three tall pillars, comprises a stately drawing room downstairs and a master bedroom above. This section was added in 1782 by Oliver Ellsworth himself. The distinguished public service of the third Chief Justice is of national historic significance. Commencing as a young lawyer elected to Connecticut's General Assembly in 1773, Ellsworth became assistant to Governor Jonathan Trumbull on the Committee of the Pay Table handling the State's expenses for the Revolutionary War. For five years Ellsworth was a delegate to the Continental Congress until, in 1784, he was appointed Judge of Connecticut's Superior Court.
