At 261 Salmon Brook Street in Granby Center is an Italianate house built around 1858 by J. N. Loomis. The house makes an impression with its total length being 145 feet. James Newton Loomis, born in Southwick, Mass., was the senior partner in the firm of Loomis Brothers, proprietors of Granby’s principal general store in the second half of the nineteenth century.
