Simsbury House (1820)

Amos - whose investments in real estate gave him an estimated fortune in excess of $20 million - not only honored his son's debts and paid back every last dime, but he also added a large extension to the back of the house to accommodate visits from his increasingly large family which gave the house over 30-rooms. After he died in 1898, he left the house to his second surviving daughter, the widowed Mrs Antoinette Wood, who named it "Eaglewood" in reference to her family's role as Patriots and her own surname.

"Nettie" gave the house a Colonial-Revival overhaul (replacing the original gabled roof with a large gambrel roof) and hired the Olmsted Brothers from New York to landscape the gardens. She was a leading Suffragist and in 1915 she was the founding President of the Simsbury Equal Suffrage League. She donated generously to, and frequently served as a delegate to the Connecticut Woman Suffrage Association. She died here in 1930 and although she didn't have any children the house remained in the Eno family until 1948 when it became a restaurant named 'The Simsbury House'. Simsbury's Eno Memorial Hall was built with money given by her to the town to serve as a memorial to her parents.

After a developer purchased the house in the 1960s and began to auction off its historic fixtures, the Town of Simsbury stepped in and bought it. But aside from painting the exterior, they left the house empty and un-renovated. In 1985 it was bought and restored by the Simsbury House Associates and now serves as an inn, café, and wedding venue.
