I think we would have heard about towers and whatnot though. You KNOW Karen would have been all over that. I think Mrs. Porter's house is supposed to be an old Victorian, though. For Kristy's house, perhaps something like this, but in better condition: Several times in the early BSC books it was pointed out that Mrs. Porter's house was an old victorian and it had gables and turrets. I don't think the Thomas/Brewer mansion had those, because it would probably be mentioned. We know Watson's mansion had a circular driveway. (It's mentioned in book #8, which is the one I am reading right now.) Now I'm not exactly sure if it was mentioned that Watson's mansion was a victorian, but I found a few pictures: That's what I found by searching "connecticut mansions" I imagine the second one as the Thomas/Brewer mansion, too. Plus, it has a circular driveway, which makes it more "realistic".

^those houses don't look old, though (attached garages). We know it's been in Watson's family for at least two generations prior (don't remember who exactly Ben Brewer was in relation to Watson). And the second doesn't have a legit third floor, from what I can see. The first it's hard to tell.

From what I remember reading he lived there in the 1800's.

That reminds me of the house they used in the TV show, if memory serves.
