Notes
  • Significance: The earliest house on the site was built before 1675. It was a stone-ender, one and one-half stories in height. Destroyed during King Philip's War, Joseph Smith used the old foundation and chimney in his early eighteenth-century, saltbox dwelling house. At mid century, John Jenckes extended the house, lengthening it by two bays. The porches were added in the nineteenth century.
