Sgt. John Smith's house was allegedly built around 1690. If the date is correct, then that makes it one of a few existing examples of 17th-century buildings.

"Sergeant John Smith was the original owner of this building. Smith was a Sergeant in the Fairfield Trainband, a local group of volunteer soldiers who received refreshments in the home after exercises." This information came from https://fairfieldmuseum.omeka.net/items/show/329
