context_page_description: The Nathaniel Holcomb III House is a historic house at 45 Bushy Hill Road in Granby, Connecticut. It is locally significant as the residence of Nathaniel Holcomb III, a prominent resident, and as a well-preserved example of early 18th century residential construction.
context_section_description: The house was originally constructed as a lean-to. Subsequent alteration were made, but the house was well-preserved interior and exterior details, including plasterwork, wood paneling, and original hardware.  One distinction feature of the house are the "funeral doors". These doors open directly into a room, rather than a hallway, and are especially wide. This allows the "dignified" removal of a coffin, without the need to negotiate corners. Often, these doors were not used for any other purpose.
