Description and history

The Hyland House is located a short way east of Guilford's central town green, on the north side of Boston Street just east of Graves Avenue. It is a 2+12-story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof, stone central chimney, and clapboarded exterior. Its main facade is five bays wide, with small-pane diamond-lighted windows arranged symmetrically around the center entrance. The entrance is simply framed, with a four-light transom window above. The rear roof face extends to the first floor, giving the house a classic New England saltbox profile. Its interior is noted for its decoratively chamfered girts, believed to be one an early example of this type of decoration.[3]

The house has long been ascribed a construction date of about 1660, when builder George Hyland is thought to have built a house on this property.[3] However, tree-ring dating conducted on its major timbers dates its construction to about 1713 or soon afterward, likely by the then-landowner, Isaac Parmelee.[1] The house underwent an extensive restoration in 1917 by the architectural historian Norman Isham.[3] The restoration was funded by the Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities, now Historic New England.
