  BRADLEY-WHEELER HOUSE, 1795
     25 Avery Place, Westport

   The Bradley-Wheeler House stands just south of Westport’s Veteran’s Green, on the north side of Avery Place. It is a 2 ½-story wood-frame structure, with a clapboarded exterior and a shallow-pitch hip roof with a broad cupola at its center. Its main façade is five bays wide with a single story hip-roof porch across its width- sash windows are topped and peaked cornices, and there are paired circular windows, set in a frieze band in the attic level.
    The house is headquarters of the Westport Historical Society and is operated as a Victorian-era house museum. On display are a furnished parlor room, dining room, bedroom, and kitchen.

    The Society also displays changing exhibits of local art, photography, and history in the Betty and Ralph Sheffer Gallery and the Little Gallery, which are part of the house.
    The Bradley-Wheeler Cobblestone Barn, located behind the house, is a heptagonal (seven-sided) barn with a conical octagonal roof. The barn houses the Museum of Westport History, which includes a model of Westport in the 1860s, a model railroad train, plates, descriptions of artifacts about the town’s industries, agriculture, history, and famous residents, which include many authors, artists, and actors. The barn is open seasonally and by appointment.
