In 1675, the first permanent settlers to Woodbury CT built small houses, of either one or two stories, with one room for each story, and a fireplace on the long side of the house. There are only a very few such houses now left standing in Connecticut.
The Hurd House in its present form consists of two such houses combined to form a single house of two rooms on then first floor and two rooms on the second. Records indicates that the south half of the house was joined with he earlier house about 1718, and may have belonged to one of the sons of the original miller.
This house is about 26 feet long and 21 feet 5 inches wide. On each floor was one room, each plastered, with exposed wooden joists. There was a chimney inside the girts and a porch and stairway leading to the second floor and attic. The height between floors was greater in the south house than in the north so that the floor levels vary on each floor by about 2 inches. The south half of the house has no overhang. With its plastered walls and greater height, it is obviously later in date than the original house, it certainly was built before 1718.
