Smith-Harris House, Historic house in Connecticut, United States
The Smith-Harris House, with its Colonial-style architecture, features original stone-walled pastures and a traditional barn within its preserved grounds.
During the American Revolutionary War in 1781, the house became a temporary medical station for British soldiers after the Battle of Groton Heights.
The residence demonstrates New England architectural traditions through its symmetrical design, steep roof, central chimney, and traditional window arrangements.
The historic site opens annually from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend, offering guided tours of the period-furnished interior.
The house narrowly escaped demolition in 1970 when R. Stanton Avery purchased and relocated it to Fort Griswold Battlefield State Park.
