One of Hartford's grandest old homes: online sources say it was built in 1884-1885, but our research indicates that the house was built as early as 1862 by a developer who subsequently "flipped" it. Over the next two decades, as many as eight different people would own it, until Linus Plimpton bought it in 1884. We think he then built several substantial additions to the house, including the distinctive octagonal tower, the rear wing, and the third floor. Don't quote us yet, though -- we're still doing the research! Our plan for this magnificent house is to renovate it as an owner-occupied three-family home, with the future homeowner controlling the two rental units. We anticipate that this house will be on the market by fall of 2023, and you can following along with our progress at our page dedicated to the Plimpton House.
