Description

Photograph of the Parsil House at 423 White Oak Ridge Road. Demolished in c. 2011. Inscription on back of photograph says "Parsil-Ross House," 1702. This was the original house of Nicholas Parcel lived and died against the tree out back a few days after the Battle of Connecticut Farms. The house was very small, only approx. 30' x 30' - consistent with being the first house built. His brother, Thomas Parsil, had a larger house at 379 White Oak Ridge Road, built in 1709, which still stands (2026).
