Description and history

edit

The 1+12-story wood-frame house was built c. 1850 by Thomas Fleming. It is a well-preserved modest Greek Revival house with a simple door surround. Fleming and his brothers practiced one of the town's cottage industries, willow weaving for the making of baskets and trinket boxes, that proliferated in Sherborn in the mid-19th century.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 3, 1986.[1]
