Guilford has five historic house museums, including the Henry Whitfield House built in 1639. It is the oldest dwelling house in Connecticut and the oldest stone house in New England. The house, with its massive stone walls, also served as a fort. It was one of four houses that served to protect the community. The house was kept in its original form until 1868, when it underwent considerable renovation. Henry Whitfield was a Puritan minister who had come from England to flee religious persecution. The original medieval style of houses was replaced by the colonial style, with many of them surviving to this day. Guilford’s Town Green and its surrounding historic houses are part of the historic fabric of the Town of Guilford. INTRODUCTION These Rules of Procedure and Regulations contain a review of procedural requirements for application to the Guilford Historic District Commission, and guidelines for appropriate design in the historic context. Since 1961, any municipality in Connecticut has been enabled by state law to: “...establish within its confines an historical district or districts to promote the educational, cultural, economic and general welfare of the public through the preservation and protection of the distinctive characteristics of buildings and places associated with the history of or indicative of a period or style of architecture of the municipality, of the state or of the nation.” The Town of Guilford’s two regulated historic districts have been created by a public process. By state law, Guilford’s Historic Districts were approved by a minimum 2/3 majority of the property owners within the districts that returned ballots and subsequent approval of the Board of Selectmen. The Town of Guilford Historic District Commission was established to review any and all alterations, demolition, or construction of buildings and other structures within the boundaries of Guilford’s designated historic districts which is open to view from a public street, way, or place. The Commission is empowered to exercise all powers, duties, and functions enumerated under the Connecticut General Statues, Chapter 97a, Sec. 7-147a-k, inclusive and as amended. The Commission is a branch of local government and its decisions are binding under the law. The jurisdiction of the Historic District Commission is independent of and equal to that of any other local governmental authority except a court of law upon appeal. The Historic District Commission may provide information to property owners and others involving the preservation of the district, suggesting pertinent legislation, initiate planning and zoning proposals, comment on applications for zoning variances, render advice and furnish information and assistance in connection with any capital improvement program involving historic districts. Guilford Historic Districts Rules of Procedure and Regulations - 10/21/2020 4 The Town of Guilford has two separate historic districts – the Town Center Historic District and the Whitfield Street Historic District. The Historic District Commission has published this handbook of Rules of Procedure and Regulations to provide a common reference for the planning and design of regulated activities. Both public and private sectors are required to abide by the rules and procedures pertaining to historic districts. The guidelines that follow in this handbook are provided to facilitate the design and review process but cannot be expected to provide precise and fixed standards for design. In the words of the Historic Preservation and Museum Division of the Connecticut Commission on Culture and Tourism: “...historic district designation carries with it no inherent restrictions, only a review process to prevent incongruous change.” This handbook is divided into two major parts plus a series of appendices. The first part deals with the necessary application procedures, and outlines activities which are regulated under the Guilford Historic District Ordinance. The second part presents Design Guidelines for appropriate design in the historic context. An appendices section includes copies of an Application for Certificate of Appropriateness, Certificate of Appropriate Letter, Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation, Solar Guidelines and general reference information.

  • Whitfield Street, Boston Street
    Whitfield Street Whitfield Street, one of the town’s original streets, was first known as South Lane. At one time it was also called Hog Lane for reasons we can only guess at today. Perhaps hogs were driven down the lane to be loaded on boats and taken to market. Later, because it led to the sluice and the docks, it was named Harbor Street. In 1885, in anticipation of Guilford’s 250th anniversary celebration, a committee renamed the street for Henry Whitfield, leader of the original settlers, and urged that other streets be given historically important names—Desborough, Chittenden, Leete—-but nothing more came of the idea. The walk, about four-tenths of a mile long, begins at the corner of Whitfield and Water streets and goes south to within sight of the bridge over the railroad where it veers left onto Old Whitfield Street. There are several buildings worth seeing on the other side of the bridge—the Lot Benton-Henry Ward Beecher house and the old railroad station and its outbuildings, for instance—but they exceed the geographical limits of the guide and are best reached by car. Nathaniel Eliot, 103 Whitfield Street, Colonial, 1755. Here is an example of a five-bay, center- chimney, one-room-deep Colonial house with integral lean-to. The Greek Revival doorway, shed dormer in the rear, and a one-and-a-half-story Greek Revival wing are all later additions; vinyl siding obscures the trim. Nathaniel and his wife, Beulah Parmelee, had two children, William and Mary. Mary married a Tory Episcopalian tailor named Israel Halleck and became the mother of Fitz-Greene Halleck, a well-known nineteenth-century poet, and his sister Maria.
