Completed in 1926, this magnificent
neo-classical three-story mansion represents the
culmination of years of painstaking construction.
Designed by Boston architects Blackhall, Clapp, and
Whittemore, the steel-beam construction residence was
built for Harding Allen, owner of the Chas. G. Allen Co.,
a drilling and tapping machine company and iron foundry.
The company was founded during the Civil War to build
Yankee hay rakes. During its peak, the company employed
approximately 742 people. The company is considerably
smaller today, but still in existence.
