The former Benjamin Goddard house, seen in this image, was located on the north side of Boylston directly across from the entrance to Warren St. on the south side. When Sumner Rd. was laid out in 1886 across from Warren St., the house was shifted slightly eastward to it present position at 43 Sumner Rd.
