The center-chimney Cape house at 210 Still River Road in Harvard was erected sometime before 1817 by Reuben Gardner. It was later owned by Anne Adams, who sold it to Joshua Tucker in 1827. He sold it to Otis Atherton and Ameriah Wood, who worked at a tannery nearby on Still River, in 1830. Thomas Hersey acquired the house in 1839. He was a delegate to the 1820 convention to revise the state constitution. The house passed from Hersey’s heirs to the Haskell family in 1876.
