Talk:Avery Homestead

Merge
I suggest merging Avery House (Griswold, Connecticut) into this article, it is a duplicate but this one has an extra reference and has been around slightly longer. Markvs88 (talk) 17:37, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

Homestead, not House
In case it was not clear from my edit summary, Avery House and Avery Homestead are two different places, over 20 miles apart. I have restored the House article as best I could, and altered this one to reflect the seperation. 71.234.215.133 (talk) 06:58, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi there 71.234.215.133. I've reverted your edits as they are the same place given the only reference provided. Can you cite something to show that these are two different locations? Unfortunately the NRHP as a resource is "somewhat inaccurate" at best, so while I don't think you're wrong we do need something to show that it isn't the same place.

They are not the same ref: 92001641 and 86001726 are their NRHP references. They cite different historical documents to place the location(s) in history, including a map from 1854 (commercial link) showing "T Avery" at the proper place for the Homestead in Ledyard, and "Capt Avery" at the proper place for the House in Griswold. The pictures from NRHP (Homestead, House) also show different houses: the chimneys are different, as is the spacing of the front windows in relation to the sides of the houses and the foundations. I erred in assigning the wrong city to the Homestead in the text, but the infoboxes and refs were correct. 71.234.215.133 (talk) 00:51, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Bit late to this, but I was waiting for this document to be digitized... I am not sure if the pictures were done and the photos were not, but I had to pause on this page because I could not get said document due to lack of digitization until just recently. Anyways, I've filled out the article and added the other relevant sources and nominated it for GAN. Thanks for assisting all those years ago, the other Avery House is already a Good Article. Now this can join it. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 05:41, 8 November 2014 (UTC)

Date of Construction
Neither source for the date has evidence of a 17th century construction date. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Old houses (talk • contribs) 18:58, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
