Old Oxford House Sold to New Canaan LLC

The historic Oxford House on Route 67 has been sold to a New Canaan limited liability company for $295,000, the Oxford Town Clerk Confirmed on Tuesday.

The company filed paperwork at Town Hall Tuesday indicating that the business has been sold to a company called Oxford House LLC of New Canaan. That company's profile could not be located on the Connecticut Secretary of the State's business directory, which could mean it was filed recently and hasn't made the website yet.

Speculation is swirling around town about what is going in the building, which was constructed in 1795 as the old Old Hotel. Some local officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said they hear a general store and coffee shop will be going in the building, which workers were cleaning on Tuesday. 

The owner of the LLC is not listed on town paperwork and could not be verified as of Tuesday. 

The Oxford House at 441 Oxford Road was a restaurant until it closed in September 2011 when the property went into foreclosure. 

Oxford Patch will keep readers informed once we hear more information about what is going in the building.
