Edward Waldo House

The Edward Waldo House is a historic house museum at 96 Waldo Road in Scotland, Connecticut. Built about 1715, it is a well-preserved example of colonial residential architecture, which was occupied by a single family for over 250 years. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. It is now owned by the local historical society.

The Edward Waldo House is located in far southern Scotland, on the north side of Waldo Road, which serves as the town line with Sprague. The 12-acre property on which it stands extends across the road into Sprague. It is a two-story wood frame vernacular saltbox, with a gabled roof, central chimney, and clapboarded exterior. The main facade is five bays wide, with symmetrically placed windows around a center entrance. The entrance is simply trimmed, with a modest entablature and cornice above. Windows on the second floor are smaller than those on the first, and butt against the eave. A series of additions extend from the rear of the house. The interior retains a number of period features, including a builtin cabinet in one of the parlors, wide floorboards, and a winding paneled staircase in the entry vestibule.
