Lemuel Lord Farm is a historic estate and private residence in Windsor, Connecticut, first established for Lemuel Lord, the well-liked Poquonock postmaster and merchant. Lord's Italianate-styled dwelling once overlooked an orchard of some 1,500 peach trees, a source of particular pride. In the decades that followed, the house was drastically remodeled for hardware merchant Herbert H Wilbraham and now stands as a simplified Queen Anne residence, while the great barn endures as one of Windsor's most impressive agricultural buildings. - AsNotedIn
