Comment
The Westleigh Inn was in operation in Litchfield, CT from 1946 until 1973. The inn was located at the corner of West Street and Milton Road in the former Col. Albert E. Lamb house. After closing in 1973 the building became the home of Gildersleeves, and then the Meeting House Inn in 1976. In the early 1980s the building burned down. The site is now the location of the Westleigh Condominiums.
