Regarding Captain David Judson House. Built about 1750 by Capt. David Judson on the site of his great-grandfather William's 1639 stone house, it was home to nine Judson generations until 1888 when the house was sold to John Wheeler. In 1891 the house was sold to Celia and Cornelia Curtis and in 1925 was willed to the Stratford Historical Society. The Society authentically restored the house to its 18th century condition under the supervision of Elmer Keith (an authority on architecture of that period) and Abbott Lowell Cummings (Asst. Director, Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities). The actual work was largely done by volunteers who continue to help maintain the house today.
Judson House, with its large central chimney into which are built 6 fireplaces and its post and beam 2-story construction, represent a transition between the saltbox and Georgian style houses. The house is located on what was first called Watch House Hill, then Meeting House Hill, now Academy Hill between Main and Elm
