The Hadlyme Ferry Historic District, in Hadlyme village in the town of Lyme, Connecticut, at the site of the Chester–Hadlyme Ferry, is a 11.5-acre (4.7 ha) historic district that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.[1]
It includes six contributing buildings as well as the ferry slip site. It includes examples of Federal and Colonial architecture. The district was listed on the National Register for significance in the areas of transportation and architecture.[1][2]
The district has architectural significance.[3]
The contributing properties include:
- Samuel Brooks House, 151 Ferry Road, c. 1760, Colonial in form but with a "fine Federal doorway surround"[3] (photo #1 in accompanying photo set).
- Isaac Spenser House, 162-1 Ferry Road, 1790, also Colonial in its 5 bay form, with a Federal style doorway including fanlight in doorway's pediment (photo #2, photo #3 front).
- William Spencer House, 1805, (photo #4).
- 159 Ferry Road, c. 1800, gable-fronted (photo #3 rear).
- Comstock House, 150 Ferry Road, c. 1820, gable-fronted, later Federal style house with a fanlight in its tympanum (photo #5).
- Ferry House, 162-2 Ferry Road, c. 1780.
- Ferry slip site (photo #6).
Non-contributing structures in the district include four garages from early 20th century and assorted small buildings associated with the ferry. Note, unlike in some other NRHP-listed historic districts around ferry sites, the course of the ferry itself is not included in the district.[4] The modern ferry is regarded as a periodic intrusion into views of the historic district.[3]
