Historical significance (include explanation of themes checked above) <br /> The original landowner was John Estabrook. In 1808, Eli Robbins bought <br /> the property (2-3/4 acres) which included "the frame of a building." The next <br /> owner (from 1808 to 1813) was Samuel Russell (Book 179, p. 404) . Russell may <br /> have been the first occupant of the house. Jonathan Burr, clockmaker, bought <br /> the house in 1831 for $900 (Book 305, p. 33) . In 1850, it was owned by Kendrick <br /> and a tenant by the name of Schwartz had a bake shop in an attached shed on the <br /> east side. Two physicians, Dr. James J. Walsh and Dr. Glen? Short have lived <br /> and maintained offices here, from 1913 until 1968. Capt. Wm. Phelps owned it <br /> at one time and rented in out (in the 1660s) . <br /> Source: Edwin H..
