History and description

The building has two sections. The older section is a two-story wood frame house built in 1698. The newer section is a two-story brick addition built in 1725 featuring glazed Flemish bond brickwork. The property was purchased by Thomas Maskell from Edward Shaw in 1703. Two of his descendants, James and Thomas Ewing, participated in the Greenwich Tea Party. The house remained in the family until 1800 when it was sold to Jonathon Doan. The farm was later known as Vauxhall Gardens. [3] [4]
