John Hillier House, Windsor, Connecticut February 18, 2018 by Derek Strahan The house at 140 East Street in Windsor, around 1935-1942. Image courtesy of the Connecticut State Library. According to local tradition, this house was built around 1650 by John Hillier, one of the original settlers in Windsor. If accurate, this would make this house the second-oldest in the town, and among the oldest surviving houses in the entire country. However, if so, it must have undergone some significant alterations, both on the interior and exterior, because its appearance does not bear any resemblance to typical 17th century New England architecture.
