Reuben Brown House, Colonial house in Concord, Massachusetts.
The Reuben Brown House, constructed in 1725, features traditional colonial architecture with a harness shop and barn on the property.
During the American Revolution in 1775, British forces targeted the house, attempting to burn the barn and looting supplies from the colonial resistance.
Ralph Waldo Emerson rented the upper library of the house for ten years, using it as a retreat from public attention.
The structure stands as a testament to early American craftsmanship, demonstrating construction techniques from the period between 1700 and 1730.
Behind the house remains the historic stone wall where Minutemen positioned themselves to monitor British troop movements in 1775.
