John Hollister House
John Hollister House, Colonial residence in Glastonbury, United States.
The John Hollister House features a central chimney, clapboarded exterior, and five-bay front facade with a slightly overhanging second floor.
Built in 1675 by Lieutenant John Hollister, the structure initially stood near the Connecticut River before its relocation to Tryon Street in 1721.
Archaeological excavations at the original site revealed colonial-era artifacts, including pottery fragments and pipe stems that indicate early New England domestic practices.
The building, situated near Roaring Brook and Connecticut Route 160, exhibits architectural modifications from different periods, including enlarged 19th-century window openings.
Three large rectangular cellars discovered during recent excavations contain preserved deposits of animal remains and carbonized maize from the original Hollister farm.
