The Bush-Holley House is a National Historic Landmark in the Cos Cob section of Greenwich, Connecticut. It was constructed circa 1730 and in the late nineteenth century was a boarding house and the center of the Cos Cob Art Colony.

Bush-Holley Historic Site features the circa 1730 Bush-Holley House, home of Connecticut’s first art colony. From 1890 to 1920, the house was run as a boarding house and was a gathering place for artists, writers and editors. Scores of art students came to study with leading American Impressionists John Henry Twachtman, J. Alden Weir, Theodore Robinson and Childe Hassam.

It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1991.,cite web|url=PDFlink| [http://pdfhost.focus.nps.gov/docs/NHLS/Text/88002694.pdf "Bush-Holley House", August 27, 1990, by Jan Cunningham] |879 KiB |title=National Historic Landmark Nomination|date=1990-08-27|publisher=National Park Service] ,cite web|url=PDFlink| [http://pdfhost.focus.nps.gov/docs/NHLS/Photos/88002694.pdf Bush-Holley House--Accompanying 6 photos, exterior and interior, from 1990.] |1.19 MiB |title=National Historic Landmark Nomination|date=1990-08-27|publisher=National Park Service]
