description

Summary

Significance: According to most sources, this house was built by Samuel Hartwell III prior to 1758 and figured in the retreat of the British Regulars from Concord to Lexington. It appears to have been built as a one room deep house with kitchen and sleeping loft additions, circa 1800. (No architectural evidence to substantiate this.) It appears, judging from construction details and techniques, that this building began as a one room house or as a two story one room deep house, with kitchen and kitchen loft added. Details in the first floor right indicate that it is the oldest of any of the rooms surveyed.
Unprocessed Field note material exists for this structure: FN-327
Survey number: HABS MA-828
