The Ellsworth House in Windsor, Connecticut, is shown as a large white two-story house with a central portico and columns, set among mature trees under a sky tinted pink and blue. The caption identifies it as the former home of Oliver Ellsworth, Chief Justice of the United States from 1796 to 1800.
