History

This enchanting historic building was constructed in 1896 by a previous state official known as Phineas Lounsbury. A collective effort was made through volunteering, the board of directors and the women’s committee to preserve the structure’s original detailing, such as the unique moldings and decadent staircases. Today, Lounsbury House is owned by the town of Ridgefield, with a close-knit team on hand who focus on the preservation of this magical building.
