The Daniel Basset House is a historic house a 1024 Monroe Turnpike in Monroe, Connecticut. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, five bays wide, with two brick chimneys and a side gable roof. Its centered entrance is flanked by sidelight windows and pilasters, and is topped by a transom window. The second floor extends slightly over the first floor on the front (west-facing) facade. Built in 1775, the house is significant for its association with events in the American Revolutionary War. It is along the march route taken by French commander Rochambeau's troops in 1781 en route to Yorktown, Virginia and possibly during their return. A ball was held in the house's second-floor ballroom for the French officers of Lauzun's mounted section of Rochambeau's army on June 30, 1781, which camped nearby.〔 and (''Accompanying four photos, exterior, from 2001 (see captions p. 9 of text document)'' )〕 The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.〔 ==See also== *March Route of Rochambeau's army *List of historic sites preserved along Rochambeau's route *National Register of Historic Places listings in Fairfield County, Connecticut 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Daniel Basset House」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
