Welcome to the Hillbrow House

What is going on in there?
Get ready to find out...

"I'm Mistress Mystrella, your humble guide, and I'm thrilled to tell you about a very mysterious house. Its haunted history has raised a few hairs, so hold onto your hats, because we're going in..."

 
74 Main Street Newtown, CT 06470: "The Hillbrow House"
(Information courtesy of the Newtown, CT  historical society)

 A colonial Georgian house built about 1720.  It is a fine example of pre-Revolutionary architecture that has been restored and well 

preserved by its current owners.  

The house has two very unusual features; the rare side-by-side beehive ovens at the rear of the huge kitchen fireplace which helps date the house, and the curved entry staircase that splits in two directions on the second level leading to the front and back halls and..

 

 

  then continues to the third floor...

It is said that a ghost inhabits the house.  He is the ghost of a man [sic] who lived in the house during the Revolutionary War when Rochambeau and his men were encamped in Newtown.  After refusing to give some of the soldiers food (the owner was a British sympathizer) some of the men made the elderly owner run up and down Main Street. He died that night and has been haunting the house ever since.

 The Hillbrow House is a beautiful home that holds its secrets, and you can experience it yourself at the Halloween walk down main street in Newtown. The decorations are fantastic!
