148 Good Hill Road, Roxbury

According to Homes of Old Woodbury (1959), p. 240, the house at 148 Good Hill Road was built in the early nineteenth century by Hunting Beardslee (d. 1825) [other sources give the name as Huntington Beardsley (d. 1823)] and passed to his son, Charles T. Beardslee. The house has also been dated to 1835. In the 1940s the house was owned by the Surrealist artist, David Hare (1917-1992).
