Traditional Shotguns home, Building in 1740

Traditional shotgun houses, characterized by a narrow, one-room-wide, multi-room-deep layout without hallways, are primarily associated with 18th-century Southern US and West African/Haitian, rather than 1740s Connecticut, which featured African styles like saltboxes. While not a 1740s "shotgun" design, early CT homes used timber framing, central chimneys, and steep roofs for snow. This house was remodeled in 1945, 1989, and 2026. I hope you enjoy the transformation.
