Jabez Smith House, Historic house in Poquonock Bridge, Groton, United States
The Jabez Smith House stands five bays wide with wooden shingles, clapboard siding, and a central chimney that characterizes its colonial architecture.
Built around 1783 on foundations dating to 1663, this farmhouse remained in the Smith family until 1974 when ownership transferred to Groton town.
The interior layout follows traditional center chimney design patterns, containing original plaster and woodwork that reflect 18th-century construction methods.
Located at 259 North Road near Newtown Road junction, the house opens for public visits during weekends from April through November.
This structure represents the last remaining 18th-century farmhouse in the Poquonock Bridge area of Groton, with preserved antique collections inside.
