John Hollister was a big man and brawny, tall and broad. He built, prior to 1700, the oldest house in this section. It is picturesquely situated on the bank of roaring brook called "Nayaug"; by the Indians. It is inland from the Conn River up from the ferry from Wethersfield to Gladstonbury and John Hollister’s house is to be seen on the left bank just before crossing the pretty millstream. The original house had four rooms, two up and two downstairs. It was enlarged in 1763.
