Daniels House

Built in 1670, this early colonial house sits on the corner of Essex and Daniels Streets. It was built by Stephen Daniels, the master of a ketch, and was originally a small four roome house. A great grandson, also Stephen Daniels, enlarged the house in 1750, adding a third story and parlor and enclosed the old house in the new. It now had 15 rooms and 13 fireplaces.

It was renovated in period style by the Haller family who bought it from the 86 year old owner, Mrs. Wilkins. It opened in Sept. 1945 as the Haller-Daniels house, as a guest house.
