• George Champlin Mason, Sr. built a Stick Style house in 1871 for George Wheatland. It was purchased by Harriet Crowninshield before 1876. She was a member of a prominent family of successful merchants and political leaders descended from some of the first Massachusetts settlers in 17th century Salem.
• Mason remodeled the house with Queen Anne Revival style additions in 1881 for Boston-based railroad investor Nathaniel Thayer, Jr., whose son later lived in the house to the north. In 1895, Thayer hired Ogden Codman, Jr. to design a Classical Revival style addition to keep up with the latest fashion.
• The house remains a private residence.
