This historic double-house in South Britain village of Southbury, Connecticut was reportedly built around 1752 by Zephania Clark with early residents being an M. M. Canfield and C. Muirhill (both possible renters). The house stands out as a rare example of a double-house from this period in a remote/rural section of town. A later owner, Deacon Mitchell deeded the property to two of his sons, who lived side-by-side in mirror residences. The property was likely “modernized” in the Federal period by Mitchell with the paired chimneys, Federal style entry with sidelights, portico, and tripartite window above the central entrance. It is presently covered in aluminum siding – which is likely preserving the clapboard siding and trim underneath – and a metal shingle roof.
