The Henry Hooker House is a historic house at 111 High Road in the Kensington section of Berlin, Connecticut. It is a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with two narrow interior chimneys. The house was built c. 1769 by Elijah Hooker, a seventh-generation descendant of Hartford founder Thomas Hooker, and was last substantially modernized in the mid-19th century. These modifications are clearly evident in an architectural analysis, and include the removal of a large central chimney so that a then-fashionable central hall with broad stairway could be built. These modifications were undertaken by Henry Hooker, who owned a successful carriage making business.^[2]
