Description of the property

The Reverend Samuel Woodward House sits on a knoll facing south onto Concord Road. It is situated on two acres of land, and as yet has not been encroached upon by the nearby business center of town. Records indicate that Reverend Samuel Woodward purchased a parcel of land in Weston from William Smith in 1752. The following year Woodward married Abigail Williams and took his bride to their new home. There is evidence that he incorporated into his house an older structure formerly owned by William Smith. An examination by Abbott Lowell Cum- mings, Director of the Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities, has shown that the rear portion of the house has summer beams not found after 1750 and that the older house was probably of the central chimney type.

Although the Woodward House has undergone several changes, its present appearance remains relatively the same as when Reverend Woodward occupied it. The two-story, clapboard building is five bays wide and has a central projecting enclosed entrance. The house sits on a low fieldstone foundation, and its ridge roof is pierced in the center by a brick chimney. According to an early account of the house, an east ell was added to the house some time during the occupancy of Dr. Amos Bancroft (1797-1810). In the late nineteenth century it appears that Mrs. Augustus Fiske had this wing moved to 83 Concord Road, and built the present west ell in which there was a large ballroom. Although an atlas of 1875 does not show this ell, a sketch of 1882 does include the addition. In 1915 the west ell was moved about ten feet farther west during repairs being made on the house.

A one- story kitchen ell was built next to it in the 1960's.. A second-floor bathroom perched in the corner where this wing joins the west ell is an obvious twentieth century addition. A Victorianization of the house occurred in the late nineteenth century when a covered porch was added to the west side of the house and an open porch on the front. The win- dows were also altered. In the 1920's Mrs. Gardiner Fiske had the porches removed and the windows replaced with copies of the originals which had nine-over-nine sash. The Woodward barn was taken down in the 1850's and replaced by another which was, in turn, taken down about 1899. Today the only outbuilding is a small garage to the east of the house. The interior of the Woodward House retains much of its original detail.

Abbott Cummings has commented on the paneling with its fine bolection molding in the southeast room as well as the gunstock posts and feather-edged sheathing on the second floor. The front staircase and its paneling are largely unspoiled.

Statement of significance

/ARCHITECT The Reverend Samuel Woodward House is significant as a relatively unspoiled example of eighteenth century architecture and as the home of a number of families significant in the history of Weston. Reverend Samuel Woodward, who built the house in 1753, was the second minister of the First Parish Church in Weston. A graduate of Harvard in 1748, he was ordained in 1751 when he was only twenty-four years of age. In 1753 Woodward married Abigail Williams and the two moved into the house on Concord Road, which is said to be a copy of the Samuel Har- rington House on South Street in Waltham. Not long after their marriage, the minister and his wife began to take in young students as boarders and from time to time kept the schoolmaster as well. This increased their income which was a necessity as the parsonage was not furnished by the Town.

On April 19%, 1775, Reverend Samuel Woodward led the Weston militia in prayer and set out with the company for Concord. On the Lancaster Road the men were told to go to the lex- ington Turnpike where they followed the British retreat to Charlestown. In Weston it was from the pulpit that the Declaration of Independence was read by Reverend Woodward in 1776. After Woodward's death in 1782, his wife continued to occupy the house until 1795 when she married Colonel Thomas Marshall. At this time she conveyed the estate of Reverend Woodward to her son-in-law Samuel Kendal, husband of her daughter Abigail. Reverend Kendal had come to Weston in 1783 as Reverend Woodward's successor and in 1786 he married Abigail Woodward. After their own house burned down in 1791, the couple moved into the Woodward House. In 1794, a year after Abigail's death, Kendal married her sister Miranda.

The following year the two acquired the rights to the Woodward House and sold it to Artemas Ward, son of the famous Revolutionary War hero. A lawyer who was active in both state and local politics, Ward owned his own home next door and probably never occupied the Woodward House. He sold it to Dr. Amos Bancroft in 1797. Dr. Bancroft was a graduate of Harvard Medical School and served not only as town physician, but also as moderator, selectman, and school committeeman. It is supposed that the eastern ell was added during Bancroft's ownership and was used as a doctor's office. Although Dr. Bancroft moved out of the house in 1811, he continued to own it until 1828. Occupants of the house during this period were James Billings, Dr. Benjamin James and Widow Elizabeth Wheeler. In 1829 Jonathan P. Stearns purchased the house and sold it a year later to John Jones.

the 1830's Marshall Smith lived in the ell and had a cobbler's shop in the upstairs northerly rooms. continued

Fiske, whose family was to occupy the house for over a century. Fiske's wife Mary was a friend of Winslow Homer who often sketched her. It is thought that some of the artist's croquet scenes were based on sketches made on the grounds of the Woodward House. Mrs. Fiske was responsible for the removal of the eastern ell and the building of the western addition. The Fiske family descendants occupied the house until 1972, since which time there have been two owners.

Today the house is considered one of the most architecturally significant houses in Weston, both because of the date of construction and because of the few alterations to the original fabric.
