Historical significance (include explanation of themes checked above) <br /> This is the site of several Muzzey family houses. Presumably, the first <br /> Muzzey in Lexington (1640s?) built a house in this area, alongside Vine Brook. <br /> The brook was dammed and Muzzey operated a sawmill here. <br /> The present Muzzey house at 42 Forest Street (eighteenth century) stood <br /> here before being moved to Waltham Street in 1841 to make room for the Muzzey <br /> "Mansion House." In turn, the mansion house was cut in half in 1913 and moved <br /> to Glen Road South (Muzzey owned land) , where it remains today (#14) . <br /> S. Lawrence Whipple, 1984 <br /> 10.
