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

In the late eighteenth-century, a farming community developed along Still River Road in Harvard. The house<\/a> at 200 Still River Road<\/a> was built around 1800 by Joseph G. Harwood<\/a>, who had obtained a license to sell alcohol. Around 1850 the house was acquired by William F. Bateman, who was postmaster<\/a> of Still River (also a librarian<\/a>). His widow<\/a>, Louisa H. Bateman<\/a>, took over his postmaster duties<\/a> after his death in 1877. In the 1890s, the house<\/a> was acquired by Amos H. Keyes<\/a> and in 1907 by Arthur Hunter, an engineer with the Boston & Albany railroad. It was then owned by F. S. Savage, Sr., author<\/a> of Memoirs of Old Harvard Days<\/a><\/em> (1924). Savage also sold real estate<\/a>. For many years it was a double house with a long garage addition<\/a> on the northeast side. It has since been converted to a single-family home, with a new front entry molding and the old addition shortened.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
