Description and historyThe 2-1/2 story timber-framed house was built around 1754 by John Cuming, a prominent local doctor. In addition to his role as a leading physician in the town, Cuming presided over Concord's town meetings in the turbulent years of the American Revolution, and served as a delegate to the 1779 convention that drafted the Massachusetts State Constitution. He left a bequest to Harvard College to be used for the establishment of its medical school. His house later served as the residence of the deputy superintendent of Concord State Prison, and is now owned by the state.[2] The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 11, 1977.[1] See also
