This was one of the houses on Upland Road built speculatively by Abram C.
Washburn, Lexington's most prolific local builder (see 4 Glen Road for
more information about Washburn) . It was bought by the Misses Stratton,
two sisters of the wife of Dr. Tilton, prominent local physician. A
contemporary newspaper account describes the house as "a residence after
the colonial style with rooms located either side of the attractive main
entrance, . . . crowned by a hip roof which affords excellent rooms on
the third story" (Minute Man, August 2 , 1895) .
