David W. Muzzey sold the land to George B. Grant in July(Minute-man,July 22, 1887). The only mention of <br /> the construction of the house in the local newspaper was the completion of a sidewalk by Grant the following year <br /> (Minute-man, October 19, 1888). George Grant is shown as the owner on the 1898 but apparently sold the property <br /> shortly thereafter. <br /> By the time of the 1899 directory,the property was owned by Edwin Bayley, a Boston lawyer. Bayley continued to live <br /> here until about 1926. By 1930 the house was owned and occupied by Clarence I.Lewis, a Harvard professor, and his <br /> wife Mabel. Clarence and Mabel Lewis sold the house in 1953 to Samuel and Helen Kitrosser,who retained ownership <br /> until 2000. <br /> BIBLIOGRAPHY: <br /> Lexington Directories,various dates. <br /> Lexington Minute-Man, July 22, 1887; October 19, 1888. <br /> Middlesex County Register of Deeds, Cambridge, Mass. <br /> U.S. Census Records, 1900-1930. <br /> Supplement prepared by: <br /> Lisa Mausolf <br /> June 2009 <br />
