This historic home has been used in recent times as rental apartments, a tea house, and home to a local newspaper. The current owners have refurbished it and portions are for rent as a vacation home.

Visit Instructions:
When logging a Massachusetts Historic Marker, we ask that you not only describe your visit, but to upload a picture from it. The picture does not have to be of the marker - one picture of the marker is enough. But a photo of you standing next to the marker or a photograph the subject of the marker - those are examples of possible photographs to upload.
