Possible former location of "Khakum Wood" estate which was designed by and for I. N. Phelps Stokes with landscaping by Olmsted. In 1910, he added a wing which was an original 1597 half-timbered Tudor manor house he had seen in English Country Life. He purchased it and had it dismantled and shipped to the site in 688 cases overseen by the English foreman who reconstructed it high on a hill off Round Hill Road.

Beginning in 1925, Stokes began subdividing his estate, selling two to seven acre plots replete with underground utilities and town water, eventually creating a 155-acre subdivision of significant estates that was named Khakum Wood. The mansion, including the 1597 manor-house wing, was demolished.
