Coit is one of the most noted of the historic houses. We have jtist spoken of its builder. Dr. Smith sold the house to Asa Bacon, the lawyer who came here from Canterbury with seventeen law students whom he transferred to the Litch- field Law School. David R. Boardman, in speaking of Asa Bacon, has said: " He had a fine appearance, being tall, well proportioned, and usually richly dressed. The first time I saw him before the jury, his head was well cased in powder and pomatum, and a long queue ...was dangling at his back ; but he soon laid aside this conformity to old- time fashions, though he was the last member at the bar to do so. He would sometimes" in- terlude his arguments with specimens of droll- ery and flashes of wit, and the expectation that these would be put forth, secured a very strict attention from all his hearers." In later years the house became the home of Mr. Henry R. Coit, who, thi-ough his connec- tion with the Bank and the Shepaug Railroad, and in other ways, was for many years closely identified with all that pertained to the welfare of modern Litchfield.
