In the mid-18th century it was the boyhood home of Harvard College divinity professor Henry Ware, and remained in the Ware family well into the 19th century.It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. The house no longer stands at the location described in the listing papers, and has probably been demolished.See alsoNational Register of Historic Places listings in Sherborn, Massachusetts
