New Canaan Now & Then: The Enos Weed House
|
‘Now & Then’ is sponsored by Brown Harris Stevens Realtors Joanne Santulli, Karen Ceraso, Bettina Hegel and Schuyler Morris. The earliest records of the Weed Street property known as ‘The Enos Weed House’ dated 1752 show that Charles Weed purchased it from James Hait.
It is unclear whether Charles or his son, Enos, Jr., built the house. Enos Weed, Jr. and his wife, Rhoda Silliman Weed had one daughter, Ann, who lived in the house. Mr. Enos Weed died in 1769 and the house continued to be occupied by his family. On January 14, 1773, Reverend Drummond recorded in his “visitation” journal that Dr. Samuel C. Baker was also residing at the home.
