Glebe House, Georgian colonial house in Woodbury, Connecticut
The Glebe House features a wooden frame structure with a modified saltbox design, gambrel roofs, and a five-bay front facing section.
In March 1783, ten Episcopal clergy members gathered at the Glebe House to select Samuel Seabury as the first Bishop of Connecticut.
The residence contains original architectural elements from the 1740s, including one of the largest colonial kitchen fireplaces in Connecticut.
Visitors can explore the house museum from Wednesday through Sunday between May and October, with guided tours available from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM.
The property includes the only remaining North American garden designed by English horticulturist Gertrude Jekyll, created in 1926.
