Description and history
The Daniel Payne House is located in southern Windsor, on the south side of Park Avenue (Connecticut Route 178), a short way west of its junction with Connecticut Route 159. It is a two-story brick building, with a low-pitch gabled roof and four interior brick chimneys. The main facade is four bays wide, with the main entrance in the center-right bay. The entry is sheltered by a Victorian porch with a gabled roof and turned posts. Windows are set in rectangular openings, with narrow brownstone sills and lintels. A band of brick corbelling extends around the building at the cornice level, giving the side gable ends a pedimented appearance. A 20th-century garage is located behind the house.
The house was built about 1830. Its first documented owner was Clarissa Loomis, who sold it in 1855 to Daniel Payne, a farmer. The house is a well-preserved example of brick houses that were built in larger number in the area.
