Scope & Content |
Known as the Ebenezer Grant House because Ebenezer Grant bought house and land from his father in 1757 and built a two and one-half story house which the Historic Resources Inventory describes as "an excellent example of a New England Colonial." The entrance is an ornate and well-preserved Connecticut River Valley Doorway, which is included in Samuel Chamberlain's 1939 publication "New England Doorways." The original ell of the house was built about 1697; a new house added to front about 1757; and the whole house moved back from the street in 1913. This house remained in the Grant Family until 1913. It was the first house in South Windsor to be accepted in the National Register of Historic Places. |
