Acors Barns House
The Acors Barns House is located in New London, Connecticut. Built in 1837, the Acors Barns House is a two-and-one half story Greek Revival house with a gable roof and clapboarded exterior. The front facade of the house is five bays wide with a Greek Revival portico leading to the main entrance. Additions to the house include a projecting center dormer, and second-story projection over a partially enclosed veranda. The plain exterior is contrasted by interior's elaborate hall ceilings, detailed woodwork and arched marble fireplaces.
In 1862, Barns died and the house was passed to his sons before being transferred to Harriet Barns Vincent. The house was sold to Julia O'Sullivan in 1919 before being sold to Francis McGuire in 1956. The McGuire's operated the house as a law firm and passed the title to James McGuire. In 2013, James McGuire sold the house to the Community Foundation of Eastern Connecticut. Dave Collins wrote that the Acors Barns house is a "fine and rare example" of architecture that is especially important to New London, Connecticut. The Acors Barns House was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 22, 1976.
== Acors Barns ==
Born in 1794, Acors Barns was the son a mariner and lived in Westerly, Rhode Island before moving to Stonington, Connecticut. Barns moved to New London, Connecticut and formed a whaling company with William Williams Jr. in 1827. The company prospered and became one of the largest firms in the city, but Barns avoided the 1849 decline of the whaling industry by investing elsewhere. Barns invested in the Willimantic and Palmer Railroad before establishing the Bank of Commerce in 1852. Barns died in 1862, but his sons would continue the successful Bank of Commerce.
