In about 1884, Edwin Saxton Wheeler purchased a house lot on the desirable suburban neighborhood on Hillhouse Avenue in New Haven, Connecticut, and began constructing an ornate, brick Queen Anne/Romanesque Revival style home there. In 1887, creditors went after Mr. Wheeler’s assets and the property was sold to Civil War General, Alfred Howe Terry. General Terry died in 1890 and the property remained under the ownership of heis heirs until around 1908 when the property was purchased and fully renovated by Lewis H. English. At this time, the ornate brick and terracotta detailing was largely covered by stucco siding, creating the clean facades we see today. The residence was purchased in 1954 by Yale University, and it now houses the Cowles Foundation for Research in Economics.
