1810 Abram Clock House.

The Abram Clock House, c 1810, a Half-Georgian house, stood in Darien, Connecticut before the oak framed structure was dismantled. The main part of the house measures 25' wide x 30' deep with two fireplaces on each floor. Attached to the right side, the kitchen ell, measuring 17' wide x 23' deep, has a large fireplace with bake oven on first floor with another fireplace on second floor. Note the bracketed cornice, projecting window headers with molded window casings and shutters.

Beneath the classical porch is a transom with decorative lead tracery and antique glass. A six panel flush-bead panel door retains an orginal brass knobbed box lock. Behind the front door is a paneled front to rear hallway with a stairway on the right. Beaded wainscot, a paneled chimney breast, paneled kitchen door with original wrought latch and large box lock adorn the kitchen. Five panel doors and mantles are also included. Wide pine board floors were throughout the house.
