Own a home in the Jordan Village Historic District as listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The Edwards House was built in 1835 according to town records and would have been one of the first homes in the community overlooking Jordan Pond. It is a "well-preserved, two story, gable-ended, shingled, vernacular dwelling" as described in the National Register. Partially renovated, the house is waiting to be revived to her full potential. The property is listed under the Connecticut Historic Homes Rehabilitation Tax Credit website and qualifies for restoration tax credits. To participate, the house must be owner-occupied with "minimal changes to the defining characteristics of the building, its site and environment". The Waterford Historic Properties Commission requires that restoration reflects an awareness of the surrounding community and imposes a "hasty demolition" restriction that requires a 90 day review period.
