In Old Lyme, a piece of women’s rights history is up for sale. Called Ludington House, and sited in the heart of the town’s historic district, the grand Colonial was once owned by Katharine Ludington, an American suffragist.
It was built in 1895 by noted architect Henry R. Marshall and styled in the manner of the best addresses of that era with a wide, wraparound porch, a welcoming foyer featuring a dramatic staircase, eight fireplaces, and stately columns inside and out. The generous 9,029-square-foot floor plan holds a whopping nine bedrooms, while the 1.88-acre grounds, manicured gardens, and a four-bay barn.
Kitty, as the activist was called, is credited with founding the League of Women Voters and advocating for reforms in journalism and the arts. Her former home is listed for $2,395,000 with Colette Harron and Beth Cote of William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty.
