Thomas Wheeler House
The Thomas Wheeler House is a historic Colonial home located at 266 Brewster Street, in the village of Black Rock Harbor in Bridgeport, Connecticut.The core of the house may date to as early as 1680.[1] Thomas Wheeler was Black Rock's first white settler.[2] The house, Bridgeport's oldest, is located near the Fayerweather Boat Yard. The roof pitch is in excess of 60 degrees; the framing timbers (including a 22-inch-wide summer beam) are exposed on the interior.[3] Abbot Lowell Cummings, Professor Emeritus, American Art, Yale University, observed the restoration work done in the late 1980s, when carpenters uncovered an old casement window frame in a wall during restoration work. The house was recently threatened by the encroachment of a large development in 2006.[4] The Wheeler House is listed on the National Register of Historic Places within the Black Rock Historic District added on March 15, 1979.[discuss]
