Patch, who worked in Boston, and in 1913 by Eugene and Agnes Monahan. <br />Monahan was a produce dealer and by 1915 had added two greenhouses. In 1995 the property became the center of a <br />controversy when two Monahan descendants sold it to developer Mark Moore, who planned to build 12 new houses on the <br />lot, a development that would force the Monahan's daughter to move out of the farmhouse. The dispute was somewhat <br />resolved in 1996 when the farmhouse was moved forward and to the side of the lot to permit the construction of the new <br />houses and, in the process, the barn converted to a residence. <br />Roll #8, Negative #36A-37
