Hartford CT ~ Katharine Seymour Day House ~ Historical
The 1884 Queen Anne/Victorian or Aesthetic style house designed by New York architect Francis H. Kimball for Franklin and Mary Chamberlin is one of Hartford's architectural gems. The wood and granite house is an eclectic grouping of turned balusters, porches, differently shaped windows, and multiple balconies. The original exterior paint scheme, roof shingles, crestings, and finials were restored in 2002.
The house is named in honor of Katharine Seymour Day (1870 – 1964), founder of the Stowe Center, grandniece of Harriet Beecher Stowe and granddaughter of suffragist Isabella Beecher Hooker. Day, an ardent preservationist and activist, purchased it to save it from being destroyed.
