Facts and practical information

The Sloan-Raymond-Fitch House is a historic house at 224 Danbury Road in Wilton, Connecticut. It is a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with a side-gable roof and a large central chimney. A smaller two-story ell extends to the rear. The main block is evaluated to have been built sometime between 1760 and 1780, based on the construction methods used, while the ell is believed to be an older structure. The building has undergone some form of restorative work on several occasions, but has retained a significant amount of its original workmanship, and is a well-preserved 18th-century structure. The house has been moved from its original location. It is now on the same property as the Betts-Sturges-Blackmar House, and is part of a museum complex operated by the Wilton Historical Society. ()
