This house was built in 1715 by Samuel Clark (the 2nd) and was eventually occupied by 6 generations of the Clark family until its demolition in 1902. Caleb Clark, born in 1789 in the fourth generation, took ownership of the house and, in 1862, his son, another Samuel, constructed a house next door at 310 Walnut St. Samuel’s daughter, Helen Clark, took over the house with her husband, William S. Cutler. When they moved to a new house steps away on Chestnut St., the Clark house was rented until 1898 to the just-widowed Alma Charity Mears Macallister (see additional photo of the house).

This house was built in 1715 by Samuel Clark (the 2nd) and was eventually occupied by six generations of the Clark family until its demolition in 1902.

The house was rented by Alma Charity Mears Macallister, “Mrs. Richard Macallister”, the woman posed in front of the house. She had been living in India where her husband ran cotton/jute/hemp mill operations employing more than 1,400 workers and where he was also vice-consul general for the United States. When he died in April, 1882, at the age of 52, Alma returned to the United States with her son, Richard, who had spent his entire 13 years in India. After living in Brookline Village for a few months they moved to the Clark house in 1883. In 1898, the two moved around the corner to 31 Clark Road and the Clark house remained empty until it was demolished in 1902.

House of Francs Cabot, no longer standing. The coachman is identified only as "Michael". It is noted that a Michael J. Lynch was a coachman for the Cabot family in the 1891 town directory though any match would be highly speculative.
