Hoyt Barnum House

Hoyt Barnum Relocation, Stamford, Connecticut

Client:  Chris Williams Architects
Owner:  Stamford Historical Society

The Hoyt Barnum House built in 1699 by the children of the founders of Stamford.  In 2016 the house was moved from its original site on 713 Bedford St to the new location at 1508 High Ridge Road on Historic Preservation Society property. The City of Stamford decided to move the historic structure to make room for a New Police Station.

Freeman Companies’ Landscape Architecture Studio provided site and civil design assistance, helping to recreate the characteristics and conditions of the original site at the house's new location. This project will allow the City of Stamford to continue to develop and grow as a safe modern city while at the same time preserving an integral piece of the city's history. On June 14, 2017, a ribbon cutting ceremony was conducted at the new site. Freeman Companies is proud to have been a part of this historic project; our team is fully committed to the safe-keeping of all Connecticut Historic Landmarks.
