This historic house was relocated in 2020 from Middlebury, Connecticut and rebuilt in Deary, Idaho. It was the home of Captain Augustus Peck who in 1776 at the age of 15, joined George Washington’s Continental Army as a private in the Third Connecticut Regiment, serving in the major engagements of the war including the Battle of Long Island and the harsh winter at Valley Forge. Captain Peck remained in the army until the signing if the Treaty of Paris in 1783, when he returned home and built this traditional New England “Cape” house, named after its origin, Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The defining feature of the house, its massive stone chimney, was carefully moved to Idaho, along with the brick oven, excellent for baking pizza. The house features original hand-hewn oak timbers, doors, and woodwork, new 12 over 12 pane windows, and sleeps six with with one king-size bed in the second-floor loft, and a full-size bed in the original first floor bedroom, and a queen-size sofa bed. The full kitchen opens to the dining and living area, and the back addition includes a screened porch facing the surrounding pine forest. Rebuilt with year-round comfort in mind, the Peck House includes two full baths and radiant floor heat.
