The Taylor Chapman House is a historic house at 407 Palisado Avenue in Windsor, Connecticut. Built in 1764, it is a well-preserved example of Georgian architecture executed in brick. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. [1]
The Taylor Chapman House is located north of Windsor's village center, on the west side of Palisado Avenue ( Connecticut Route 159) at the northwest of its junction with Kennedy Road. Palisado Avenue is a historically old road that was once the main road paralleling the west bank of the Connecticut River. It is a 2+1⁄2-story building, about 40 by 39 feet (12 m × 12 m). It is built out of brick, with a side gable roof and end chimneys, and rests on a stone foundation. It originally had two chimneys on each end wall, but now each has only one. The main facade is five bays across, with a center entrance topped by a half-round transom window. Windows are set in rectangular openings, with stone sills and lintels of soldier bricks. A single-story ell extends to the rear, and the property includes a 20th-century garage. [2]
The house was built in 1764 by Taylor Chapman, and is one of a small number of surviving Georgian brick houses in Windsor. It is located near the road that lead to the historic Bissell Ferry crossing, which connected Windsor with East Windsor Hill.
