Notes

This is seemingly a two-family side-by-side house, in a rural setting. It could be in a more rural town in the Springfield metro area, perhaps northern Connecticut.

The house appears to mimic an 18th century New England gambrel style house, but its construction seems to be much more contemporary. The shiplap roof seems to be brand-new and the center chimney is much narrower than 18th century houses.

The mailbox has faint lettering which may say "The Hessler".
