One of the distinguishing features of this historic Agawam landmark is the original bi-fold stage door on the south side of the house.

It was from this doorway that visitors entered during their stop on their travels to/from Hartford/Albany/Boston.

Once inside, travelers could access the the south parlor to the left, or the tap room/old kitchen to the right.

The beautiful carving in the fan light over the door is the inspiration for the Captain Charles Leonard House logo.

The next time you visit, ask to see the stage hall connecting the two rooms!
