"This stands at the corner of Sheafe and Margaret Streets, and was built about 1722 by Benjamin Clough. It afterward came by marriage into the possession of the Waters family, and continued to be owned by them until 1859. It is the oldest house on the street. The front door used to be on the south side, where was a large garden." From "Homes of Our Forefathers in Boston, Old England and Boston, New England" by Edwin Whitefield, 1889.
