Established in the 18th and 19th centuries, Norwich's Little Plain Historic District is as ancient-looking as it is bone-chilling, not just because of the graves. This condemned neighborhood is a Victorian relic of Norwich's past, boasting Greek Revival, Italianate, and Federal houses. Local benefactors, Deacon Jabez Huntington and Hezekiah Perkins, gifted Little Plain Park to the community in 1796. The Dewey-Sigourney house, residing at 189 Broadway, flaunts its Federalist elegance shamelessly. Greek Revival-style houses have a knack for stealing the spotlight on 167 and 171 Broadway. Architect duo, James A. Hiscox and Joshua W. Shepard, may be six feet under, but their designs live on in much of the district.
