Rose cottage was built in 1851 as a tavern. It was my house in Connecticut. It had been a do it yourself nightmare for many years. The renovation of this house into a comfortable and beautiful home was such a joy for me. I moved rooms around, enclosed a screened porch, made a dark ugly room that had originally been the tavern into a wonderful entrance and office. I hope the new owners love this house as much as I did and are enjoying their lives in it.
