Description and history

The Hulett Farm complex is located primarily on the west side of US 7, roughly 1 mile (1.6 km) north of its junction with Dugway Road. The house, which is the only major surviving element of the farmstead, is a 2+12-story wood-frame structure, with a gable roof and a saltbox profile. The main facade faces west (toward the road), and is a symmetrical five bays, with a center entrance framed by wide sidelight windows and topped by an entablature and cornice. The saltbox extension to the rear is a 20th-century addition. Located southwest of the house is a small single-story wood-frame shed with a double-leaf door. The farmstead used to include a c. 1920s chicken coop, located north of the house, and a c. 1850 barn, located across the street; [2]

The Hulett Farm was established in the early 19th century, and its house is one of only two in southern Wallingford that follows a typical Georgian plan. The Federal period sidelights are extremely unusual because of their two-pane width. [2]
