Evaluate the characteristics of this building in terms of other buildings within the community. This house is extremely rare in Marlborough as an example of a 1 lI2-story Cape Cod cottage of the Colonial era. Although it has acquired at least three additions over the years, the form of the main house remains as a five-by-two-bay, center-chimney structure. Most of the windows, which appear to retain their original narrow, projecting enframements, are primarily 8-over-12-sash; a pair of 6- over-S-sash windows appear under the roof gables. Three paired six-pane casement windows that light the upper story on the facade would date to the twentieth century. The center entry is high and narrow, with narrow flat pilasters, a high frieze, and molded lintel. (The door is not visible.) Typical '] of the era, other architectural detail includes narrow comer posts and a shallow boxed, molded cornice, without any roof overhang at the gable ends. .J A long one-story west ell appears to be of early date, and a 1 112-story rear ell, perpendicular to the main house, may be early as well. HISTORICAL NARRATIVE [X] see continuation sheet Explain history of the building. Explain its associations with local (or state) history. Include uses of the building, and the role(s) the owners/occupants played within the community. Historical information about this house has been hampered by errors in the Darling geneaology given ... by Charles Hudson in his History of the Town of Marlborough, in which he confuses the two Amos, Darlings, father and son. U this house was constructed in about 1760, as its style implies and the 1978 inventory form states, th- it was probably built for farmer Amos Darling, who moved here from Framingham (possibly after livin., in Danvers), and married Hepzibah Bruce of Southborough in about 1745-46. Their children included Jonas, (b. 1753), and Amos, Jr., who was born in 1757 and would have been the one mentioned by Hudson who died in 1837 at the age of 80. Members of the Darling family were undoubtedly associated with the nearby Hager Sawmill (see Forms 907 and 14); one ofthe mostly likely ones would have been Amos Darling, Jr., who married Lovice (Lovisie) Hager, daughter of Ebenezer Hager, Jr. in 1800. (Other sources contend that the house was built in about 1726 by Hezekiah Cutting, who sold it in 1733 to Thomas Sanderson, and that it was later owned by Ebenezer Winchester and Joseph Maynard.)

INVENTORY FORM CONTINUATION SHEET Community Property Marlborough Darling House Massachusetts Historical Commission 80 Boylston Street Area(s) Form Boston, Massachusetts 02116 15 HISTORICAL NARRATIVE, cont. The house was apparently inherited by Jonas Darling, who is shown as the owner on the map of 1803. By 1830, however, this was the property of "E, Hager". This may have been Ephraim Hager (b. 1764), son of William Hager (Ebenezer, Jr.'s brother) of 929 Boston Post Road, and thus Lovice Hagar Darling's cousin. He owned the property through at least 1835, but eventually moved to Framingham, where he settled on the estate of his grandfather, Ebenezer Hager, Sr. By 1853 the farm was owned by George Jones, who was here through the end of the nineteenth century. It is likely that it was during the early part of his ownership that the building acquired its traditional name of "Jones's Tavern." In the 1920's, this farm, along with the Howe Tavern (Wayside Inn) in Sudbury and many associated properties in both Sudbury and Marlborough, including the Hager Sawmill, were acquired by Hel11YFord as part of a restored inn and mill area.

The Amos and Jonas Darling House, more commonly referred to as Jones Tavern, meets Criteria A and C of the National Register. The late eighteenth century property is signficant as one of only a few remaining Marlborough farmhouses which expresses the passage of time in the evolution of the building. Darling was a farmer from Framingham. In the 1830s the property was occupied by Hagers who were probably associated with the sawmill on the opposite side of the road. By 1853 it was Jones Tavern. Architecturally the building is significant as one of the only extant one and one-half story Georgian cottages in the Cape Cod tradition. The property retains integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. FORI\,l B - BUILDING In Area no. Form no.

  • Bloomingdale: Colonial Times and After the Revolutionary War by Pam Tice, Member of the Bloomingdale Neighborhood History Group Planning Committee
    ===================================================================== RNA House History Club May 2021 ===================================================================== [The following post is the first of three documenting life in the Bloomingdale neighborhood in the colonial and revolutionary times. It can be seen on the Bloomingdale Neighborhood History Group blog site at: https://www.upperwestsidehistory.org/blog/march-30th-2021] Part 1: Bloomingdale: Colonial Times and after the Revolutionary War by Pam Tice, Member of the Bloomingdale Neighborhood History Group planning committee Introduction A few months ago, a new website developed by John Jay College caught my attention. Like many institutions of higher education, the College was exploring the link between slavery and the famous man whose name adorns it. One of the resources used was the 1790 federal Census. I looked up Charles Ward Apthorp, whom I had written about previously, one of the colonial property owners in our Bloomingdale neighborhood. He owned eight slaves. That got me thinking: who were the other people in this census? How was the Bloomingdale neighborhood settled in the era before the Revolution? What was Bloomingdale like after the Revolution and in the early 1800s? I started to dig a bit deeper into the Bloomingdale history, beyond the work of numerous local historians who write about a particular property owner and the history of a mansion house, as I myself had done in writing about Apthorp’s mansion that became Elm Park. The Bloomingdale Road, authorized in 1703, and laid out in 1707, was key to the area’s development; Bloomingdale became more like a suburb of the city than what we call a neighborhood today.

  • Tom Marshall's Weekly News, June 27, 2016 Major Highway Routes
    Tom Marshall’s Weekly News, June 27, 2016 Major Highway Routes through Our Area: The Weekly News of April 30, 2007, explained how the numbering of U.S. highways took place in the late 1920s. Especially local to us were U.S. Route 1 that passed through Kennett Square en route from Maine to Florida and U.S Routes 30 and 40 that went west from Atlantic City. U.S. Route 1 (this had nothing to do with the present Delaware Route 1), from Port Kent, Maine, to Key West, Florida, passed through all the major cities en route, such as Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington. As originally laid out, it went near the center of each city. Following the Boston Post Road from New Haven into New York City, it crossed Manhattan to the new Holland Tunnel under the Hudson, and then across the Jersey marshes to Newark. In Philadelphia it followed the road closest to the Delaware River, then past City Hall and west toward Baltimore Pike. As traffic increased, many of these old routes with increasing stop lights became slow and tedious ways to travel, so faster routes were sought around the center of big cities. In 1930, our favorite route south was to go to Elkton and pick up the new U.S. Route 40 (now Maryland Route 7), which had crossed the Pennsville-New Castle Ferry en route from Atlantic City. Southwest of Elkton it passed through the center of North East, Charlestown, and Principia Furnace before reaching the Susquehanna at Perryville. Here the river was crossed on the old railroad bridge with a single lane in each direction, one above the other.
