A beam in the attic of the Messenger House, 667 Cherry Brook Road in Canton, is inscribed with the words: “RAISED 1785 JUNE 20 MONDAY.” In the days when stagecoach used to pass by the house, it was used as an inn. Also, at one time, there was an apple orchard and cider mill on the property. Miles Messenger owned the house in the mid-twentieth century and, after the steeple of the Old North Church in Boston blew down during Hurricane Carol in 1954, Mr. Messenger gave a white oak from his farm to help rebuild it.

I drive there today but the address is actually 667 correct?
Katrina,
I think you’re correct. I’ve changed the number to 667. Thanks!
Thank you for the update — I was so happy to find your list! Thank you for all your hard work on it. My husband and I pulled it up today to take a drive and capture some photos. It’s a wonderful work — bravo!
Katrina,
Thank you!
You should drive by soon! The owner is rebuilding the stone wall.
