Located on North Main Street in Suffield, Connecticut, the Dr. Howard Alden House (also known as “Aldenheim”) stands as a significant late-18th century estate that has been lovingly preserved for centuries. The residence was originally built in 1794 for Dr. Howard Alden (1760-1841) the main village’s primary physician. The estate remained in the family, first willed to Dr. Alden’s daughter, Susan Alden Pease and later by her daughter, Sarah Pease Fuller and her husband, wholesale tobacco merchant, Edward A. Fuller. While not architecturally ornate, the Federal period residence features a symmetrical facade, center entry with Classical door surround, and dentilled cornice.
