Parish-Gillett House, Branford, Connecticut:
Originally built in 1734, the Parish-Gillett House at 700-712 Main Street has undergone significant renovations over the years in the Gothic Revival and Queen Anne styles. It was first erected in the Colonial style for Ephraim Parish (also spelled Parrish), Jr. The location became known as Old Parish Tavern. In 1811, the tavern was renovated by Reverend Timothy Gillett – who resided there until his death in 1866. Gillett was pastor of the First Church of Branford for 59 years and the founder of Branford Academy (1820). Today, the property contains offices and a residential apartment.
