It is recognized as one of the finest Georgian period dwellings in the Town of Windsor. At the time it was built it was one of 5 or 6 Georgian style homes built by the Hayden family along this road. Captain Hayden was son of Deacon Nathaniel Hayden and followed in his father professions as farmer, shoemaker and tanner. He command the Windsor "Lexington Alarm" party of 23 men in April 1775.
