Bush-Holley House, National Historic Landmark in Cos Cob, Greenwich, Connecticut.
The Bush-Holley House, constructed in 1730, features colonial architecture with floor-to-ceiling wood paneling and an entrance hall connecting two original buildings.
Justus Bush, a Dutch farmer, purchased the property in 1738, and his son David later expanded it while maintaining ten enslaved individuals in the household.
From 1890 to 1920, the house became the center of the Cos Cob Art Colony, hosting American Impressionist painters including John Twachtman and Childe Hassam.
The museum offers guided tours at 1:00, 2:00, and 3:00 PM, with admission prices of $10 for adults and $8 for seniors and students.
The property maintains eight rooms that represent two distinct periods: the New Nation era of 1790-1825 and the Cos Cob Art Colony period of 1890-1920.
