Photograph of an etching. Caption on back of photograph reads: Samson Occum, the Mohegan minister, aided by his tribesman, built this house which stood on a hill side about half a mile north of the present Mohegan Chapel and east of the Norwich and New London turnpike. The home was well built and clapboarded with cedar. It cost over 100 pounds and was once a very famous landmark. In 1772 Messrs. McClure and Frisbie tarried there overnite and the former wrote in his diary, "His house was a decent two-story building. We lodged in a good featherbed in a chamber papered and painted; adjoining was his library of a handsome collection, brought by him principally from Great Britain."
