Benedict House and Shop
The Benedict House and Shop is located in Ridgefield, Connecticut. The house was built in 1740 and has an adjoining cobbler's shop. It is significant as a rare surviving example of a colonial artisan's workshop. The buildings are among the oldest colonial houses in Ridgefield. A sympathetic restoration by architect Cass Gilbert and other care has preserved the property in good condition.[2]
