Show Details
Tradition relates the house was built by Albert Morton, a contractor, for Robert Walsh. The existing house may have been updated by Morton circa 1855 since there was already a house there on the 1835 deed.
J. O. Cushing purchased the property in 1857 and it remained in the Cushing family until 1945.
