In lieu of any original posts of my own about the Enos Kellogg Homestead, I wanted to post a link to an interesting piece on a prior steward of the Enos Kellogg House - Mad Men-esque ad exec and maritime artist Robert R. Newell. Even better, it is written by Mr. Newell's grandaughter, whose father grew up in...

I've known for a while that the probate records of Enos Kellogg were stored at Norwalk Town Hall. I even made the effort to go look at them a year and a half ago while I was doing research for our National Register nomination. At that first viewing, I discovered a few important things:

My friend at the Confessions of an Antique Home blog sent me a link to a 19th century map of Fairfield County that I hadn't seen before. Clark's Map of Fairfield County, published in 1856, places and identifies all homes in the county. Which is awesome. After a few minutes of applying my very...

I posted a long time ago about the c. 1890s photo album of my house that my parents randomly found at an auction in Pennsylvania (anyone care to calculate those odds?).

For those of you who read my post on one of the previous owners of the Enos Kellogg House, advertising executive and maritime artist Robert R. Newell, you might be interested to see our latest piece of artwork.
This is a watercolor of the ship Courier, painted by Robert Newell in 1972, and purchased...

Among the many less than attractive and certainly not original features in our house when we moved in were some built-in shelves in the living room. I guess they were relatively inoffensive, but, being made of generic and clearly 20th century dimensional lumber they really detracted from the period...
