Williams House (New Fairfield, Connecticut)

The Williams House is a historic single-family residence located at 5 Williams Road in New Fairfield, Connecticut. The building is a two-and-a-half-story, timber-framed house just outside of the main downtown center of New Fairfield. The date of the building's construction is unknown, as the original paperwork documenting the completion of the structure was destroyed in an 1867 fire. Various architects and historians place the construction between 1800 and 1835,[1] and the National Park Service estimates the building was completed around 1830. The earliest known record of the building comes from an 1835 deed transfer found in neighboring Danbury.[2]
