Buttolph-Williams House, Historic house museum in Wethersfield, Connecticut.
The Buttolph-Williams House features a two-and-a-half-story timber frame design with diamond-paned windows, steep gabled roof, and large central chimney at 249 Broad Street.
Built between 1711 and 1720, the house belonged to Benjamin Belden, a local tavern keeper, before being sold to Daniel Williams in 1721.
The house influenced Elizabeth George Speare's 1959 Newbery Medal-winning novel The Witch of Blackbird Pond, set in 1680s colonial Wethersfield.
Tours operate from May through October through the Webb-Deane-Stevens Museum, requiring advance ticket purchases for guided visits of the property.
The interior maintains original elements such as hewn-timber framing and fireplaces, complemented by a collection of 17th-century Connecticut decorative arts.
