Homestead of the Tackabury family; deeded to John Tackabury Sr. by the Mayor of Boston Massachusetts (Edward Hale, son of Hon. General John Hale who fought with Wolfe at the Plains of Abraham). In all, six generations of Tackaburys lived at this farm.

Threats:

Since being left by the Tackabury family, the farmhouse has deteriorated significantly, especially on the interior. City council consented to demolition of the adjacent barn building, which was removed shortly thereafter. The developers requested that the farmhouse be removed from the Register of Cultural Heritage Resources, but were denied. However, the fate of this farmhouse remains unclear within this development.

Recommendations:
This building could be refurbished, as the exterior is in fair condition, and incorporated into this residential development as professional office space, with public park surround. This adaptive reuse would pay homage to the significant local history established by the Tackabury families of the area, and generate expanded interest in this residential development
