Description

by Clifford H. Green

This short pamphlet which was put together by Cliff Green shortly before he died, tells the story of Matthew Curtiss who was one of the most prominent men who lived in the restored museum/house of the Newtown Historical Society and after whom the house was named. In addition to the biographical detail of its namesake, Cliff gives a detailed history of the house and of the attempts to restore it thus saving one of the earliest examples of domestic architecture on Newtown Street (now called Main Street.)

No tour of the Matthew Curtiss House is complete without a copy of this modest pamphlet which will answer all of the questions that you forgot to ask when you toured
