Built in 1757 for Ebenezer Grant, successful merchant and leading citizen of East Windsor. It stands on Main Street in East Windsor Hill (now part of South Windsor) and is known for its Connecticut River Valley doorway and rich high style detailing, much favored by the wealthy river valley elite in the mid eighteenth century. Ebenezer’s brother Noah was the great-great-grandfather of Ulysses S. Grant.
