Huntington House, 1902In 1901, Henry and Mary Huntington purchased this land to build their home at 289 Broad Street. A mixture of classical columns and asymmetrical porches and balconies, the new house had a unique style that distinguished it from its Victorian and Colonial neighbors. The Huntingtons' attention to detail continued inside where the decor included the finest wallpapers, built-in cabinetry, and stained-glass windows available at the time. After Mary?s death in 1968, the home passed to her son, Clark, who lived there until his death in 1998. The Huntington House Museum exhibited art in the house between 2001 and 2005, and the J. Morrissey Company converted it into offices in 2006. Copyright 2015 Windsor Historical Society.
