[follow Brewer Street to Eliot, turn right and go down to Dane Street]
This area was part of John Eliot’s original land grant to the school. The school's trustees eventually sold it to Charles Green for development of housing in order to raise money. This mansion, built in 1834, is an elaborate example of Greek Revival style of house. It is a surviving example of the country estates that early Pondside residents built.
The front and back facades have full temple fronts featuring two-story Ionic columned porticos. The façade facing towards Eliot Street has flush siding but is embellished with pilasters to hold up its pediment (mostly obscured from public view). The final side of the house (the southwest façade) has a two story wing attached. The mansion has a wonderful octagonal lantern on the roof, which no doubt, originally afforded a lovely view of the pond. This house still has rather large gardens/grounds surrounding it. It gives us an idea of the way this area would have looked in the early 19th century when well-off families maintained their country estates here. This house was owned by the Mosier family from before 1900 until Mrs Moser died in 2006. The new owners did a complete renovation only to have a five-alarm fire occur in June 2008 just weeks after moving in. Not put off, they did another complete renovation and really take great care of the house.
