Flanders Historic District
Flanders Historic District, Historic residential district in Kent, Connecticut.
The Flanders Historic District features twelve major buildings spread across 65 acres at the intersection of U.S. Route 7 with Cobble and Studio Hill Roads.
The district represents the original center of Kent settlement from the late 18th century until the 1840s when railroad development shifted activities to a new location.
The Federal period houses display traditional colonial forms with specific architectural elements including pilasters at corners and detailed woodwork in the cornices.
The district maintains its residential character and stands at 136 meters elevation, allowing visitors to explore the architectural heritage of early Connecticut settlements.
The Nathaniel Slosson Homestead, constructed around 1739, remains the oldest deeded house in the district, marking the beginning of Kent's settlement period.
