225 Maple St, Framingham, MA 01702

An amazing piece of Framingham history here... Welcome to The John Towne House, a site that appears on Framingham's 1699 map. John Towne was the nephew of Sarah Clayes (a persecuted Salem "witch"), and he was one of Framingham's original Selectmen when the town was incorporated. In the early 18th century the home was purchased by Jonathan Maynard and operated as a tavern; more recently the title has remained in the same family for decades. The CRI cites several architectural features that are possibly original, and this home is elegantly sited on a lovely, large land parcel near every major convenience. A history steward with vision and resources will be rewarded with a wonderful and important treasure here.
