Homes in New Canaan
The oldest houses, colonials and Greek Revival homes from the 1700s and 1800s, sit around the center near God's Acre and Main Street. Beyond downtown, most homes are colonials, shingle-style and Georgian-style houses from the 1920s onward, plus many newer builds on multi-acre lots along Ponus, Smith and Oenoke ridges. New Canaan also has a large group of mid-century modern houses from the Harvard Five era, including Philip Johnson's Glass House, with flat roofs, glass walls and wood siding that need a different maintenance plan than a clapboard colonial. Condos and older cottages near downtown and Talmadge Hill round out the mix.
What we watch for when painting in New Canaan
New Canaan has one local historic district, centered on God's Acre, and exterior changes there need approval from the Historic District Commission. Heavy tree cover and long driveways keep many houses in shade, so siding stays damp long after rain and mildew and moss settle in. Mid-century homes often have exposed beams, flat roof edges and stained vertical siding that soak up water at the end grain and need careful sealing.
