This 2½-story timber-frame house in Sherborn, Massachusetts, exemplifies First Period colonial architecture from around 1700. Built with an integral leanto section, the structure is five bays wide and features a central chimney and central doorway; the latter received a Greek Revival surround during the nineteenth century. The house's early origins are attributed either to Thomas Sawin, who established a sawmill on nearby Course Brook in 1679, or to the Bullen family, early eighteenth-century landowners. It later served as home to stonemason Galem Bullard. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986, it remains among Sherborn's finest examples of its architectural period.
