Deyo House
While
remnants of the original house built by Pierre Deyo around
1700 still survive, they are embedded in the 1894 Queen
Anne/Colonial Revival reconstruction of the house which
was executed during the ownership of Deyo descendents Abraham
Deyo Broadhead and his wife Gertrude Deyo Broadhead. The
reconstruction of the house occurred during a period characterized
by its veneration of colonial ancestors and a nostalgia
for the pre-industrial past. The house first passed out
of Deyo family ownership in 1915, but was purchased by the
Deyo Family Association in 1971 and donated in order to
be opened to the public as a house museum. It was
beautifully restored in 2003 and features circa 1915 interiors.
