John Thomas during the siege of Boston, then by Charles Dillaway, headmaster of Roxbury Latin School, from 1835 until 1903. Purchased by the city in 1927, it is later saved from demolition and preserved by the Roxbury Historical Association and the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Management and is today part of the Roxbury Heritage State Park.
