In 1827, a James Henderson entered this land at the

government land office. Henderson sold the land to Humphrey Keyes in 1832. Keyes was an early settler of the county and died in 1833, leaving the property to his sons Robert and Gershom.

In 1857, John McGredy bought the five acres on which this house stands for $1000. The house was then built shortly after this, and John McGredy lived here until his death in 1890. Mrs. Grace Bullard Colby now recalls that there was a great number of peach trees near the house and believes there was a large nursery here.

The widow McGredy sold the house and five acres in 1893 for $10,000 to William H. Colby who named it Hazelwood. It was to become the scene of many fine parties and social gatherings.

The life of Judge William H. Colby is the great American success story. He lost both parents by the age of 13 and, penniless, found his way from New York to Springfield. He was employed by George Bergen whose farm was across the road from this house and is now Bergen Park. He worked hard and on rainy days secretly studied law books, hiding them in a wheat bin. He was to become prominent as a lawyer, city attorney and probate judge. His family lived here until 1912.

For the next forty years the house passed through many hands and from 1955 to 1982 was occupied by the Crifasi family operating as the Southern Air Restaurant.

In 1983 the house was purchased by the Joslins, which reopened it as a seafood house. Presently it is known as The Chesapeake Seafood House, which specializes in Fresh Seafood from all over the world.

There is a fine lawn and stately old trees where departing guests may linger and perhaps imagine the old Bergen homestead with a young man reading Blackstone on a rainy day.
