Fisher House (1830)
The Fisher House, at 227 South Pleasant Street in Amherst, was built in 1830, possibly by brick mason Hiram Johnson. The house was used as a school by the Nelson sisters, but opinion is divided as to whether or not Emily Dickinson attended school there or not in 1837. Amherst College purchased the house from Anna A. Fisher, wife of G. Edward Fisher, in 1917 and it served for a time as a student residence. It is now a single family home.
If I recall the days of my youth in Amherst, this was the student home of young Calvin Coolidge of the Amherst Class of 1895. It is said that he used a diamond stick pin to etch his name on a windowpane there.
