The house is viewed looking north from today’s Sargent Rd., Warren St. is to the left. It was built by Ignatius Sargent after he acquired the land in 1845 and would later be incorporated into an elaborately-landscaped group of houses of extended family members that became known as “Holm Lea”. It still stands.
