"After retirement from active business in 1825, Deacon John Holbrook built
his late Federal style house on twenty acres of land, across from the Common,
now the corner of Linden and Chapin Streets. The "L" shaped house is of wood
frame construction with a clapboard exterior, and has a slate clad gabled roof
It was then, and is now, an impressive structure, designed and built by local
carpenter, Nathaniel Bliss. The crisp detail and fine workmanship are just as
attractive today as when the building was built...
The Deacon John Holbrook house in Brattleboro remains as one of the villages
finer late Federal period houses and has undergone little alteration through the
years. The interior craftsmanship make it one of the more unusual and
outstanding houses in Vermont." ~
