This house was built by Obadiah Parker in the Federal style circa 1800 and was remodeled into Greek revival style circa 1840. Elizabeth Morrell and Otis Dana, who were married by Ralph Waldo Emerson in the Follen Church, entertained many locals during their residence. Local lore also suggests that the Marquis de Lafayette dined here during his visit to Lexington in 1824.
