Oliver, after serving in the French war, where he reached the rank of major general, studied medicine under his brother Alexander, and began practice in Goshen. He was appointed sheriff of the new Litchfield county in 1751 and moved to Litchfield. He was a signer of the Declaration of Independence, took a leading part in the Revolution.
The house has a central chimney, a slight overhang in the attic story, and a graceful porch with 2 slender columns supporting an open gable. There are pediments over the 1st-story windows. The wing and the bay window on the north are later additions. Washington and Lafayette were entertained here.
