In 1998,
we moved from our location near Wilton High School to the home we're
in now. Our house was originally built in 1920 as a side-hall colonial,
and is now centered on 7.22 acres. The previous owners extensively
expanded and remodeled in the late 80's/early 90's. We're the fourth
owners.
The history of the house makes it special...it was first built
and owned by a family member of one of the Gimbel brothers, owners
of the famous department store featured in Miracle On 34th Street.
It originally served as his country house, screened around the
entire perimeter. During Prohibition, the house was converted into
Wilton's speakeasy! In fact, while the floors have all been reworked,
you can still see where an "escape hatch" once served
the patrons from what is now the living room into the basement.
