149 Pond Hill Road, Wallingford, Connecticut:
This saltbox Cape Cod style house was built circa 1750. It was once owned by the Pogmore family for whom a nearby street is named. Information is sparse on the dwelling except for multiple incidents of vandalism (perhaps due to the house being located less than ten feet from the street). Since 1969, the house has been egged multiple times and a 200 lbs. pumpkin was once stolen from the property. Perpetrators: unknown.
In another instance, Record-Journal, the local newspaper featured the home because a rare lady slipper flower was growing there. Also known as the moccasin flower, they are North America’s most admired wild orchid plants.
