Dorrance Inn
The Dorrance Inn, also known as the Samuel Dorrance House, is a historic inn at 748 Plainfield Pike in Sterling, Connecticut. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, five bays wide, with a side gable roof and a large central chimney. The oldest portion of the house, consisting of the eastern three bays, was built c. 1722. The eastern bays were added later, but do not extend the full depth of the house. Greek Revival treatments were added to the front door and house corners in the 19th century. The inn is notable as a place that hosted officers of the French Army in 1781 and 1782, as it was along the march route taken by French commander Rochambeau's troops en route to Yorktown, Virginia. Dorrance's Inn is one of a few places mentioned by name in multiple accounts written by French office
