Southington, Connecticut. The house of Captain Anson Matthews, who fought under General George Washington in the War of Independence. The house, built in 1746, stands today the same as in Captain Matthews' time, a seven-room story-and-a-half (to avoid King George II's tax on two-story houses) dwelling built around a central slap-mud chimney drawing from five fireplaces. The present owners of the house are Mr. and Mrs. E.H. Brink, both school teachers. Mr. Brink is of Swedish descent. Sourced from the Library of Congress.
