2. Forster House - Forster Pond State Park, 395 North Branford Road, Killingworth, CT

Between 1927 and 1946, architect Frank J. Forster (1886-1948) and his wife purchased nearly 100 acres of land in Killingworth where he could practice his craft. Known mostly for his large estates in the French and English country style, here, Forster focused on American vernacular styles. He recycled architectural elements from other historic homes throughout New England to create five unique homes at his Connecticut estate. The homes are clustered around a beautiful man-made pond fed by Schreeder Brook. The pond is also fed by a small stream with multiple waterfalls that runs just to the north of the house.

The Forster House sits directly on Forster Pond, offering lovely views of the large pond to the west and woodland acres to the east. The property was sold to the State of CT by Forster’s widow in 1963. Forster Pond State Park is an undeveloped park, leaving the area around the house quiet and secluded.

The property includes a Greek-Revival farmhouse with additions to the north and south, an attached two- bay garage, 2 sheds/workshops, and a well house. The property is located in Forster Pond State Park and is located directly south of the entrance to Chatfield Hollow State Park.

The house is approximately 3,245 square feet with an attached 208 square feet screened porch. The main portion of the structure was built circa 1840s. It was moved to the site and additions were made to it in the 1930s and 1940s, by architect Frank Forster. The older portion of the house is a Greek-Revival Cape the additions follow the rustic style of the original house. On the first floor are a modern kitchen, dining room, parlor, living room, family room, office, a half-bathroom, and a screened porch. Large picture windows and a bay window give lovely views of the pond. The second floor has three bedrooms, a full bathroom, and access to the attic.

The interior is finished with plaster walls and hardwood floors. The front parlor and dining rooms have painted wooden paneling and fireplaces. The back parlor has stained wooden paneling and a large fireplace. There is a modern fireplace in the family room. To the south of the house is an attached screened in porch overlooking the pond. The basement is stone-lined with a concrete floor. In the basement is an oil burning furnace with a forced hot air system. There is a shallow well and a failed septic system. The house is wired for electricity but it is not up to code. The house was last lived in by a State employee in 2002.

3. The Ostrom Enders House - Harkness Memorial State Park , 255 Great Neck Road, Waterford, CT

The property is listed on the National and State Register of Historic Places as part of the Harkness Estate and Eolia Mansion. The house first appears on local maps in the 1830s; it underwent major renovations in the 1870s. At the turn of the 20th century, it was a working farm and part of the Rumrill Estate. It was used as a summer home by Ostrom Enders, a long-time Connecticut resident.

The house is a double chimney, three-storey square building with a rectangular two-storey addition on the south elevation. The house sits on the property of Harkness Memorial State Park, but has a direct access driveway to Great Neck Road. To the south of the house are Goshen Cove and a Wildlife Management Area. To the west of the house is a small stream that leads into a stone-lined ice pond that feeds into the Cove. There is a small detached garage to the east of the house.

The house is approximately 3,540 square feet. The interior is finished with plaster walls and hardwood floors. There are fireplaces in the family room, dining room and living room. On the ground level are the kitchen, dining room, living room, family room, laundry room, half bathroom, and access to the basement. The second floor has three bedrooms, an office area, one full bathroom, and one half bathroom. On the third floor are two bedrooms and a full bath-room. The basement is unfinished with a dirt floor, stone- lined walls. It houses the forced hot air furnace and two oil tanks. There is access to a small attic space from the third floor.

The property has an on-site septic system and is on city water. The house does have an electrical system. The panel was recently updated, but the wiring has not been. The house was last occupied in 2003.

4. Smith-Curtiss - Osbornedale State Park, 411 Hawthorne Avenue, Derby, CT

The property is listed on the State Register of Historic Places, but is not yet on the National Register of Historic Places. It is thought to be one of the oldest houses in Derby. The house and property were purchased by Frances Osborne Kellogg as part of her large dairy farm and on-going land conservation efforts. It was donated to the State of Connecticut upon her death in 1956 to be part of Osbornedale State Park.

The site includes a center chimney saltbox house and a detached two-bay garage. The property is a portion of Osbornedale State Park but has direct access to Hawthorne Avenue. In 1956, Osbornedale State Park was willed to the people of Connecticut by Frances Osborne Kellogg, granddaughter of John W. Osborne, one of the Naugatuck Valley's early industrial entrepreneurs. By adhering to the belief that one should always buy land but never sell it, Mrs. Kellogg gradually acquired the numerous separate farms which now comprise the 411-acre Osbornedale State Park.

The house is approximately 2300 square feet. The center portion of the house was built between 1740 and 1780, with additions in mid-19th century and early 20th century. Located on the ground level are the kitchen, the keeping room, dining room, parlor, and a full bathroom. On the second floor are three bedrooms and access to an unfinished attic. On the ground floor there is access to a poured concrete floored, stone lined basement with a gas burning, forced hot air furnace.

The house is on both city water and city sewer. The electrical system is not to code. The house was last occupied by a State of Connecticut employee in 2000.

The roof was replaced on the house in the fall of 2008. At the same time, weatherproof Tyvek was adhered to the exterior west elevation to prevent moisture from entering the structure.
