Early 19th century photo of the Capt. John Turner house(circa 1840s) is attached. It serves as the Museum's main building. Turner was the principal manager of the two-pot, two-blower factory (production of 150 bottles per day per blower). He ran the company store in the rear quarter of the house. The Museum owns this house from a deed from the Connecticut General Assembly given around 1994.
