Name: The Good Will Club
Date of image: c. 1920
Significance: Mary Hall, who became the first female lawyer in Connecticut, later founded the Good Will Club, an organization which housed young, wayward boys. She also founded a camp in Marlborough, where these young men would come for two weeks. This image shows some of the club members in front of the "chow hall". It was originally located on East Hampton Road / Route 66, about where the Liberty Bank is today.

Date constructed: 1740-1780 (Baber), c. 1745 (Keith), 1750 (Assessor
Description: In the front elevation, first floor, the central door, which is off center to the south, is flanked by two 6-over-6 windows on each side. Two added gabled dormers are in the lower slope of the gambrel rood at second-floor level. A former square central chimney is missing. On the south side elevation, a 6-over-6 window is followed by a small 6-over-6 window with the pattern repeated at second floor. A small four-pane attic window is in the gable peak.
Significance: The George T. Lord House is one of the few gambrel-roofed 18th century buildings in Marlborough. Its relatively isolated works effectively with its surviving range of historic barns to give a good sense of a historic Marlborough farmstead. While at one time this grouping was the norm, it has now become rare. (See also 180 Jones Hollow Road.) The fact that the door is not centered is curious, but might be explained by interior arrangements. The Keith survey (c. 1935) describes the interior: "No front stairs; back stairs are original. Three fireplaces with sunken hearths. Dutch oven in old kitchen. Chair rail in south front room. Featheredge wainscot in dining room. At least two panel doors in ell. No summer beams." The size of the window openings is relatively small, suggesting that they may be the original size, as contrasted to the later enlarged openings found in many 18th century Connecticut houses. At the time of the Keith survey, the owner was Byron S. Lord, following in the footsteps of his great grandfather. Baber states that at one time a shed was a blacksmith shop.
