"This was built about 1770. The Rev. Oliver Everett was pastor of the New South Church in Boston in 1782, and after giving up his pastorate there removed to Dorchester, and in this house his son, the noted Edward Everett, was born in 1794. It stands on the corner of Boston and Pond Streets. It is said to have been occupied by General Washington. It is said that Robt. Oliver, a West India merchant, built this house." From "Homes of Our Forefathers in Boston, Old England and Boston, New England" by Edwin Whitefield, 1889.
