This house served as Dr. George Shattuck’s (founder of St. Paul’s School) retreat from Boston during the summer. Originally built in 1805, it was located right across from the present-day Schoolhouse. The house was updated in 1815 and was donated in 1856, along with the land it sat on to help found the school in which Henry Augustus Coit would serve as first Rector. The building was enlarged in 1858 as well as in 1863 and burned down in 1878.
