Elijah Lewis House, the home was built in 1780 by Judah Woodroof. It was originally located on 738 Farmington Ave, in 1977 the house was turned 90 degrees to the left to face towards the brook and moved about 200 feet north to its present more secluded location changed the address to 1 Mountain Spring Road. Elijah Lewis lived in the house during the pre-Civil War period and was an active abolitionist working locally as a supporter of the �Underground Railroad� which functioned to hide escaping slaves from Agents or owners on their journey north to Canada. The story is that Lewis used the cavity in the chimney base as a hiding place for the slaves. When the house was moved, a new chimney base was built using most of the original stones. It was reconstructed to the exact dimension of the original except for the opening which is somewhat larger. Noted Farmington Artist Robert Bradegee at the turn of the century also left his mark on the home where some of his paintings can be found on door panels in the Living room and above the mantel in Dining room.
