A clapboard home in Haddam Neck, town of Haddam in Middlesex County, Connecticut located up the hill from the Connecticut River and Old Rock Landing Cemetery. Regretfully I only have this one image of the structure. It appears to be symmetrical throughout with a small jetty on the visible gable side. The jetty is a holdover from medieval and Elizabethan architecture, allowing for a little more space on the second floor. Age is unknown, possibly as early as the late 1700s. The porch is very likely a later addition.
