==Description and history==<br />
The Hezekiah Chaffee House stands on the east side of the Palisado Green, Windsor's earliest settlement area just north of the [[Farmington River]]. It is a large two-story brick structure, with a gambrel roof and central chimney. The brick is laid in Flemish bond, and the house stands on a foundation of red sandstone. There are two gambrel-roofed ells, {{frac|1|1|2}} stories in height, extending to the south and northeast. They appear to be contemporaneous to the main block, sharing a similar foundation. The main facade is five bays wide, with a center entrance topped by a five-light transom window. It is sheltered by a later Greek Revival portico, with a pedimented gable and Doric columns.<ref name=NRHP>{{cite web|url={{NRHP url|id=72001336}}|title=NRHP nomination for Hezekiah Chaffee House|publisher=National Park Service|accessdate=2014-12-03}}</ref><br />
<br />
The house was built c. 1765 for Dr. Hezekiah Chaffee,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.townofwindsorct.com/Historic%20Homes.htm |title=Historic Homes |website=www.townofwindsorct.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/19991013172821/http://www.townofwindsorct.com/Historic%20Homes.htm |archive-date=1999-10-13}}</ref> who had bought the land in 1755. It remained in the Chaffee family until 1926, when it was acquired by the Loomis Institute, then a boys prep school, to house a girls school known as the Chaffee School. The two schools are now united on a different campus as the [[Loomis Chaffee School]].<ref name=NRHP/> The house is now run as a museum property by the Windsor Historical Society and is open year-round, Wednesday - Saturday from 11 am to 4 pm.<br />
