Goodwin, Dr. Erastus, House (added 1975 - - #75001406)

14485 Main St. , Burton

Nyttend, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons

Goodwin House Bed & Breakfast - Built ca. 1828 for Dr. Erastus Goodwin, a prominent physician serving the region. Dr. Goodwin purchased the property in 1811 from William Law of the Connecticut Land Company when the area was first opened to settlers. The brick house reveals an excellent example of mortise and tenon (post and beam) joinery, as framework for the entire 4-course thick brick structure. Wood floors and trim woodwork in the house are original, with historically significant decorative trim in the parlor and master bedroom, as well as the original cherry staircase and banister.
