Fodor's Review:
One of Brattle Street's seven Tory houses occupied by wealthy families linked by friendship, if not blood, the house may have been built as early as 1636. In 1737 it was purchased by John Vassall Sr.; four years later he sold it to his younger brother, Henry. It was used as a hospital during the Revolution, and the traitor Dr. Benjamin Church was held here as a prisoner. The house was remodeled during the 19th century. It's now a private residence.
