THE HOUSES ON THE TOUR

A home built circa 1865 by Daniel Webster Chester, captain of the Dauntless, the last three-masted ship built in Mystic. A two-and-a-half-story gable dwelling originally built in 1881 on land purchased in 1880 by Cornelius Fowler for a sum of $150.

An extensively renovated house on the property behind the former Water View Cottage — one of Noank’s numerous 19th-century boarding houses, which was destroyed in a fire in 1937.

A 1907 Georgian Revival built by skilled craftsmen from Noank’s Palmer Shipyard. The house operated as an inn from 1984-2000.

A Greek Revival originally constructed in 1847 for Captain Russell Latham that underwent major renovations in recent years. A summer residence combining 19th-century Greek Revival with 1950s beach cottage, decorated to express the owners’ theatrical backgrounds.

A grand Victorian built in 1884 for Deacon Robert Palmer, owner of the Palmer Shipyards. The dozen rooms, some with 11-foot ceilings, are decorated in period furniture. A Noank fisherman’s house built in 1846 by Captain Peter Baker and decorated by the current owner with finds from garage sales, estate sales and auctions. The Morgan Point Lighthouse, built in 1830, decommissioned by the Coast Guard in 1922, restored and expanded in 1971 into a year-round home with direct views of the Mystic River and Fisher’s Island Sound.
