The Dr. Elizur Hale House is a historic house at 3181 Hebron Avenue in Glastonbury, Connecticut. Built about 1780, it is a prominent local example of well-preserved late Georgian domestic architecture. It is also notable for its association with the locally prominent Hale family, who occupied it for 100 years.[2] The house was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[1]
The Dr. Elizur Hale House is located in eastern Glastonbury, on the north side of Hebron Avenue (Connecticut Route 94), between Hill Street and Ridge Road. It is a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, with a side-gable roof, central chimney, and clapboarded exterior. Its main facade is five bays wide, with a center entrance simply framed and topped by an eight-light transom window. The interior follows a typical center-chimney plan, with a narrow vestibule containing a winding staircase, and parlor spaces to either side. The original kitchen extends behind the chimney, with small rooms at the rear corners. A 19th-century ell extends to the rear, housing modern amenities.[2]
