Description and history
editThe former Grace Church Rectory is located in the town center of Windsor, on the east side of Broad Street, just north of the church itself. It is a 2+1⁄2-story brick structure with a steeply pitched slate roof. A projecting pavilion in the front is decorated with vergeboard, as are the main entranceway and other gable ends. A single-story porch extends to the right of the pavilion, supported by chamfered posts with Gothic brackets. The main entrance is sheltered by this porch, and is framed by sidelights and a transom window. Gable sections on the building sides continue the Gothic decorations found on the front facade. Windows are set in groups of one to three in size, with stone sills and lintels. A single-story wood frame well extends to the main block's rear.[2]
The house was built about 1865, and is one of the best local examples of Gothic Revival architecture. It was built by the church as a home for its rector, Revel H. Tuttle.[2]
