THE HISTORY AND HAUNTINGS 

This 15-room Gustav Stickley Home was built in 1920 by Earl Gilbert who was a prominent builder and friend of Gustav Stickley. Gilbert, a prominent builder and part owner of The Gilbert and Roi Construction Company.  Many of the buildings in the area were constructed by them, including the Jewett City Savings Bank, St. Mary’s School and various other buildings in  and around the Norwich area.  

Earl traveled a lot, and became acquainted with Gustav Stickley, who was a major influencer for American Craftsman architecture,  furniture manufacturer and leading voice in the American Arts & Crafts movement.

It is said, because of this friendship, he helped the Gilbert's design this very home.

Typical to the Stickley style and featuring beautiful. original woodwork, coffered ceilings and a fire place.  Any upgrades that have been made to house have been done so with keeping period to the home.

MILDRED
Mildred Gilbert was the youngest daughter that lived and died in the house.  Her ghostly figure has been seen many times over the years and always as the younger version of herself sporting short golden curls.  She particularly likes to be around children (maybe for having never been married or having any herself).  You can believe it or not, but the sound of someone walking down the stairs or the odd noises during the we-hours of the morning may say otherwise...
