Elias Sprague House Circa 1821

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this 1821 historic one and a half story four-room cape is situated on four heavily wooded acres between moderate residential construction and the Nathan Hale State Forest in Coventry, Connecticut. This property is conveniently located in rural Coventry, an easy twenty-mile commute to Hartford and fifteen minutes from the University of Connecticut campus.

The interior is almost entirely original, following the traditional floorplan of two front rooms on either side of a small hall with kitchen at the rear. a large central chimney, three fireplaces and fieldstone foundation. Original interior features include: brick fireplaces w/stone lentils, simple mantles consisting of board frames, kitchen fireplace with a side oven, several four raised-panel doors with original hinges and latches, plaster walls and ceilings.

The Elias Sprague House is significant as a representative example of the ordinary vernacular house of early 19th century Connecticut. Through preservation and restoration the house possesses much of its correct historical appearance. Inquiries from potential buyers can be made by contacting Landmarks Antique & Country Properties at (860) 423-7484.
