Built by Captain John Gould in 1840, the Greek revival home stood at 172 Post Road in Fairfield until 1956 when it was torn down to be replaced by a Food Fair supermarket. The Gould Homestead was the site of the Gould Homestead Summer Home for Women during the years 1910-1955. The Gould Homestead Summer Home for Women was established under the will of Captain Gould's daughter, Elizabeth Gould (1825-1908) to provide a free vacation home to working women of Fairfield County.
