The story
The brick Federal-style house was built in 1822 and owned by Amos Eno, a Simsbury native and son-in-law of Elisha Phelps who made a fortune in New York City real estate. His daughter Antoinette Eno Wood made extensive changes and additions around 1900, giving the house its Colonial Revival appearance, and the grounds were landscaped by Olmsted Associates in 1903. The house was individually listed on the National Register in 1975. It now operates as the Simsbury 1820 House inn, with the Soma Grille restaurant inside.
