The Samuel Simpson House is a historic house at 1370 Scard Road in Wallingford, Connecticut. Built in 1840, it was the home of 19th century industrialist and philanthropist Samuel Simpson. The home was extensively redesigned by New Haven, Connecticut architect Henry Austin about 1867, giving it Renaissance Revival characteristings.^[2] The house originally stood on North Main Street in downtown Wallingford before being moved to its current location on Scard Road in the 20th century. Simpson, a silver manufacturer, partnered with Robert Wallace in the firm of R. Wallace & Company, the forerunner of Wallace Silversmiths Inc. He was later president of Simpson, Hall & Miller, which was one of the founding companies of the International Silver Company. Simpson’s great-granddaughter, Margaret Tibbits Taber, later had a bookstore in the house. Mrs Taber was also known for her philanthropy and dedication to the town of Wallingford's public library.
