Benjamin Pomeroy House, 658 Pequot Road, Southport, Fairfield County, CT
Summary
Significance: The Pomeroy house was designed by the locally prominent architect Lambert & Bunnell and erected 1868-69. Patterned in the nineteenth-century Second Empire style, the handsome facade is symmetrical about a projecting three-story central pavilion and dominated by a profusion of details, of bold and delicate proportions. Clusters of expertly carved square colonnettes support the porch's extended flat roof; bracketed modillions receive the weight of the deep, roll molded cornice. A mansard roof covered with a multicolored slate surface and rounded dormers top the composition. Mrs. Benjamin Pomeroy, the wife of one of Southport's industrious and wealthy shipping merchants, built the residence for herself and her daughters. It remained within the family until 1946.
