Sterling Homestead, Georgian-Federal house in Stratford, US
The Sterling Homestead features a symmetrical two-and-a-half-story wooden structure with five bays, two interior chimneys, and a side-gable roof on Main Street.
Built around 1790 for Abijah McEwen, the property became notable through John W Sterling, a ship captain who established trade routes between New York and China.
The house displays architectural elements including a front-facing cross gable with fan louver, Palladian window, and an entryway framed by sidelight windows and pilasters.
Located at coordinates 41°11′32″N 73°7′51″W, the Sterling Homestead occupies less than one acre of land in the Stratford Center Historic District.
The National Register of Historic Places listed Sterling Homestead in 1976, preserving its dual Georgian and Federal architectural characteristics for future generations.
