The estate comprised a large amount of land on the hill above today’s high school. The house itself was located approximately at the southeast corner of today’s Blake Rd. and Gardner Rd. It was owned by two generations of the Blake family and was originally purchased from Lewis Tappan. It was torn down in 1941 and the land developed as today’s Blake Park.

Looking northwest from Walnut St. The house, located on Walnut St. at the northeast corner with Warren St. at what is now addressed as 30 Warren St., was known by the names of some of its owners over the years, the “Gridley-Hulton” house and the “Gardner-Sumner house.

It was built in 1740 by Nathaniel Gardner, a Boston merchant, it was later purchased as a summer retreat by notorious Tory, Henry Hulton, who entertained British soldiers at the house during the early years of the Revolutionary War. In 1877, it was acquired by Moses Williams who replaced the house circa 1886 with the house that still stands at 30 Warren St. today.
