Page 245. Public Buildings. Old Houses. "The house on Washington Street owned and occupied by Mr. Frederick W. HALL must have been built as early as 1748 by Henchman SYLVESTER, who died in 1758 without children. After the death of Henchman, his brother Edmund, who married a daughter of Rev. Benjamin BASS, resided there. He died in 1783 and the property came into the possession and occupancy of his son Belcher SYLVESTER, a cabinet maker, who lived unmarried and died in this house in 1849, aged eighty-six years... This house was constructed in part from the materials of a larger house which stood near the present site and was owned by the William BARSTOWs, father and son... The old house was standing in 1738, when it was sold to Amos SYLVESTER, the father of Henchman."
