\"Hosmer<\/center><\/p>\n

The Hosmer House<\/a>, at the intersection of Concord and Old Sudbury Roads in Sudbury Center, is a 1793 Federal-style house with a brick end facing Concord Road. It was built by Elisha Wheeler<\/a> and Asher Goodnow<\/a> as a commercial venture and was purchased by Ella and James Willis, who ran a general store and post office out of the building, with a ballroom above and a cobbler’s shop attached on the side. A retired Congregational minister, the Rev. Edwin Barrett Hosmer<\/a>, bought the house in 1897<\/a> and lived there with his wife, Abbie Louisa Ames<\/a>. Their daughter, Florence Ames Hosmer<\/a>, was an artist<\/a> and lived in the house<\/a> until her death in 1978. The historic building<\/a> had already been deeded to the town<\/a> as a memorial to her father, along with nearly 500 of her paintings<\/a>. The house, which displays many of the paintings, is now the headquarters of the Sudbury Historical Commission<\/a> and is opened to the public on many holidays<\/a> and special occasions. There is a pdf brochure<\/a> for the house. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
