FARRAR HOUSE: I am looking for historical photographs/descriptions of our home at 7 Farrar Lane (south corner of Farrar and North Salem Road) – once owned by Sydney Farrar, father of Geraldine Farrar – opera singer, Born in MA and who later resided on New Street. Our house has been remodeled several times and once appeared in a Ridgefield Bank Calendar in a previous state. We would like to see the house in its original form and see the progressions that brought it to its current state. I would appreciate any information available. We’ve been told that the original structure dates back to 1789 but there is little remaining from that time. The first round of remodeling occurred in the mid to late 1800’s and several alterations and additions occurred after that.
