New Fairfield Historical District
The New Fairfield Historical District is in New Fairfield, Connecticut. In 2005, the newly created state-funded Connecticut Commission on Culture and Tourism awarded its first Endangered Properties Grant to the Town of New Fairfield. The $50,000 grant was used to relocate and preserve the Parsonage and the Gideon Hubbell House, two historically significant State Register properties threatened with demolition. Both properties were to be adapted for reuse as part of New Fairfield’s new community center, the first step in the creation of a living history village and town center.〔http://www.cultureandtourism.org, accessed February 7, 2008.〕 The houses were moved to their new location on March 4, 2007.〔Office of the State Historian, University of Connecticut, 1800 Asylum Avenue West Hartford, CT, http://web.mac.com/w_woodward/iWeb/Site/Blog/2C84ABA2-208E-4F6E-B766-B460C65AF346.html Report, March 22, 2007, accessed February 7, 2008.〕
== Gideon Hubbell House ==
The Gideon Hubbell house is of interest because it is one of the oldest buildings in the area and a good example of Greek Revival architecture, and because when Gideon died in 1838 the probate of his will left a complete inventory of his personal property, from the family cow to the last pair of velvet trousers.〔Transcript of will and copies of original images of will and inventory in the library at the Hubbell Center, Des Moines, Iowa. http://www.hubbell.org/hubcent.htm〕〔Unfortunately, a continuous history of the house is unavailable because a fire in 1867 destroyed all of the town records. (Early records from the New Fairfield Congregational Church have been preserved, but published transcripts of them do not agree entirely with photo images of the original pages.) http://www.ctgenweb.org/county/cofairfield/pages/newfairfield/newff_index.htm〕 This information enables the possible restoration of the house as a typical homestead of the beginning of the 19th century. Also, in its historical context, we have a record of the optimistic dispersal of Gideon’s family, which mirrored the vigorous westward expansion of his era.〔See Subheadings for detailed references.〕
