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

At 18 Main Street<\/a> in Stockbridge<\/a> is a house known as the “Sedgwick Little House” or the Erik Erikson House. Its earliest section was originally a large cottage built c. 1855 (other dates claimed for the house are 1850<\/a> and the 1870s<\/a>). In 1896, the property was acquired by Henry Dwight Sedgwick III<\/a>, prominent Stockbridge resident<\/a> and one of<\/a> the well-known Sedgwick family<\/a>. The Sedgwick Pie<\/a> in Stockbridge Cemetery is the famous burial place of the Sedgwick family<\/a>. In 1898, Henry D. Sedgwick<\/a> built \u201cthe Sedgwick Little House\u201d (the central section of the current Colonial Revival mansion) for his son Alexander (1867-1929)<\/a>. This seems to have replaced the original cottage (?). The house was later expanded through additions made between 1898 and 1908. The east and west wings were added by Edward L. Morse<\/a>, who bought the house in 1908. Later, the house was purchased by the well-known<\/a> writer and psychoanalyst Erik Erikson<\/a>, who was working at the Austin Riggs Center<\/a> at the time. The house is now a bed & breakfast called the Taggart House<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
