Built in 1786, on Main Street in East Windsor Hill (now in South Windsor) by Aaron Grant, Jr., a carpenter who served in the Revolutionary War. His father, the senior Aaron Grant, had worked on the Ebeneezer Grant House. In 1835, the house was purchased by Joshua Risley, a wagon-maker. He added the second floor to what was originally a one-story gambrel-roofed building. A Greek Revival doorway was also added.
