The Colonial style building that now stands was essentially con- structed in 1765 for Captain Lemuel Clapp (a decendent of Roger's cousin) by Samuel Pierce. Lemuel Clapp was a tanner by trade: his tanyard was located on the opposite corner of Willow Court. Lemuel also served as a Captain during the Revolutionary War, and in the early part of the War some of his men were quartered in this house. In 1819 with the death of Lemuel, two unmarried daughters continued to live in the house. In 1872 the last surviving daughter died and the house fell to tenancy until it was acquired by the Dorchester Historical Society in 1946. In 1957 due to property taxes, the building was moved from its original foundations to its present site. Harry Gulesion (the architect who executed the HABS drawings of the house in 1935) was contracted to supervise and provide plans for the relocation.

The contracts specified that as much ofc the existing fabric as possible be saved including chimneys and chimney foundations.ttaa CIFC (2) William Clapp (son of Captain Lemuel) followed in the business of his father and operated the tanyard, in later years devoting his attention to the surrounding farm. His Federal style house was built in 1806 by thehousewright,Samuel Everett. Most of the original interior of the main building exists. The Greek Revival rear wing and bracketed Italianate open porch and (Thaddeus, Lemuel, and Frederick) continued to operate the farm and were successful in developing many varieties of pears. The most notable was Clappis Favorite, developed in 1849 and marketed by 1860, a variety which remains in wide commercial The house continued to be occupied by the dependants of William Clapp until it was acquiredbythe Dorchester Historical Society in 1946.

In 1870, with the annexation of Dorchester to the City of Boston, the character of the area radically changed. Much of the farmland was sold over the years for house lots. The com- plex presently lies in the middle of a densly populated, mixed-use urban area. MAJOR BIBLIOGRAPHICAL REFERENCES Ebenezer Clapp, The Clapp Memorial (David Clapp & Son, 1876) William D.

What happened here

An account from the chapter on Boston city, in the words of 1894.

1894, Boston City

City Charter

IN giving some notices of manners and social life during this period, I shall speak first of usages which were characteristic of the close of the last century: most of them continued without essential modification until our city charter swept away the old landmarks, and Boston felt the im¬ pulses which mark a new epoch in her history.
