From the 'Turnback Tuesday' archives: Mansfield House in Ansonia


Turnback Tuesday visits the home of Rev. Richard Mansfield in Ansonia.

The house, built in 1700 in Derby, is a Colonial Saltbox. This home has four rooms located on the first floor: two rooms on the right as you walk in, one on the left and the kitchen (keeping room) in the back. The top floor boasts two bedrooms (sleeping chambers) in the front with two small half rooms in the back. There are two staircases: one in the front entry and one in the back off the sleeping chambers.

The home was originally located on Jewett Street where St. Joseph’s Church is now and was moved in 1926 and restored.
