Jacob Bacon House // 1794

In 1794, Revolutionary War veteran, Jacob Bacon (1754-1844), built this house on S. Canterbury Road outside the main village of Canterbury, Connecticut. The late Georgian/Federal style house features a large central chimney, symmetrical five-bay facade with center entrance, and a bold blue paint color. The house was seemingly built following Jacob’s 1793 marriage to a Martha Clark. Do you like the color of this house, or would you paint it something different?
