A row of shingle-style houses complete the block of Pequot Avenue west of Trinity Church.  Dating to the period of suburban development of the village, they mark a departure in the architectural styles seen so far on the tour.  When built in the last years of the 1800s and the first of the 1900s, these homes at 665, 683 and 716 were dubbed Colonial homes.  By no means reproductions of the earlier true Colonials, they were built instead to evoke a romanticized notion of the gracious, restful, shingle-clad homes of the village’s ancestors.   They were intended as homes of the harried city worker to be returned to in the evening after a jolting trolley ride home.   Decorative shingle work enhances the siding of the house on the left at 665 Pequot.
