Harriet Beecher Stowe House (Hartford, Connecticut)
The Harriet Beecher Stowe House is a historic house museum and National Historic Landmark at 73 Forest Street in Hartford, Connecticut that was once the home of Harriet Beecher Stowe, author of ''Uncle Tom's Cabin''. Stowe lived in this house for the last 23 years of her life. The 5,000 sq ft (460 m2) cottage-style house is located adjacent to the Mark Twain House. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970, and declared a National Historic Landmark in 2013.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=AMERICA’S GREAT OUTDOORS: Secretary Salazar, Director Jarvis Designate 13 New National Historic Landmarks )〕
==Description==
The Stowe House is a two story brick building, painted gray, resting on a brick foundation. Although the house is basically rectangular, it has a complex roof, with a jerkin-headed gable running parallel to the street, a hip-roof extension to the rear, and small dormers flanking a central dormer flush to the front facade. The gables are decorated with bargeboard, and the eaves have Italianate brackets. The interior of the house follows a fairly conventional center hall plan, with two parlors, dining room, kitchen, and pantry on the first floor, and bedrooms on the second.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NHL nomination for Harriet Beecher Stowe House )〕
After Harriet Beecher Stowe's death in 1896, the property was sold out of the family. It was reacquired by her niece, Katherine Seymour Day, in 1924, who bequeathed her Hartford properties to a foundation dedicated to Stowe's legacy. Now known as the Harriet Beecher Stowe Center, this organization carefully restored the property in 1965-68, and now operates it as a historic house museum.〔
