DEACON JOHN GRAVE HOUSE

MADISON, CT

The house is a two-story, saltbox-style structure, with a steeply pitched gabled roof and a large central chimney. The walls are made of post-and-beam construction and are covered with white clapboard siding.

The house was built for Deacon John Grave, who was an important figure in the area. He was a deacon at the local Congregational church and held various town offices. The house remained in the Grave family until the mid-1800s, when it was sold to a new family. It was then used as a residence until the early twentieth century, when it was turned into a museum and historic site.
