22 Terrace Avenue

The house is significant architecturally because it is a large, well-preserved example of the Shingle Style with Queen Anne features. The siding itself and the way it is used for the porch are characteristic of the Shingle Style as is the imaginative placement of the chimney as an exterior component of the bay. The bay itself and its gable roof are Queen Anne features. With its barn and large yard intact, the house portrays the original ambience of the neighborhood more faithfully than most of its neighbors.

The house is significant historically because it was the home of Arthur Dayton, who was cashier of the Naugatuck National Bank and treasurer of the Naugatuck Savings Bank.
