Editing Glastonbury, Connecticut (section)

=== Historical houses ===
Glastonbury has the second-highest number of genuine colonial houses of any U.S. town. There are 154 houses built before 1800; only [[Marblehead, Massachusetts]], has more, with over 200. [[Newport, Rhode Island]], has over 300, but it is a city, not a town. Four houses in Glastonbury are from the 1600s.

The town's oldest house, the [[John Hollister House]], was built around 1675. It is one of Connecticut's five oldest houses, and one of the oldest in the nation.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.hsgct.org/HistoryofGlastonburyArchitecture.html|title=History of Glastonbury's Architecture|website=www.hsgct.org|access-date=June 12, 2019}}</ref>
