Description and history
The Elisha Seymour Jr. House stands west of the center of West Hartford, on the north side of Park Road between Trout Brook Drive and Jessamine Street. It is a 1+1⁄2-story painted brick building, with a side gable roof and interior end chimneys. Its main facade is three bays wide, with the main entrance in the center, sheltered by an enclosed wood frame vestibule, finished with a gable roof and clapboards. A single-story gabled ell extends to the right, in front of which is a hip-roofed open porch supported by square columns.[2]
The house is estimated to have been built about 1770. Its first documented owner was Elisha Seymour Jr., a shoemaker. It is a modest example of brick residential architecture of the period, but is locally significant because it is one of the few pre-independence brick buildings in West Hartford.[2]
