Amasa Day House

The two-and-a-half-story wooden structure features a gabled roof, clapboarded exterior, and corner pilasters rising to a shallow entablature at 33 Plains Road.

Colonel Julius Chapman constructed this residence in 1816, which was later purchased by insurance agent and banker Amasa Day following Chapman's death in 1842.

The house contains a collection of artifacts spanning multiple generations of the same family, preserving early 19th-century Connecticut residential history.

Connecticut Landmarks maintains the property as a museum, offering seasonal guided tours by appointment through the Federal-style interior and surrounding 3.5-acre grounds.

The property includes an 1878 carriage house and maintains its original architectural elements, including modillion blocks in the eaves and half-round windows.
