Josiah Day House, Brick saltbox house in West Springfield, Massachusetts.
The Josiah Day House features three bays with a central entryway, a large centered chimney, and a side gable roof that slopes to the first floor at the rear.
Built in 1754, the Josiah Day House remained in the Day family until 1902 when Lydia Day, the last resident, passed away and the property was sold to Ramapogue Historical Society.
The interior layout follows a Georgian central chimney plan with parlors on each side and contains original furniture pieces that belonged to the Day family.
