the oldest dwelling standing in the city of Cambridge. The same

lean-to "half house" consisting of a "low room," "little room,"
"kitchin," "Chamber," "kitchin Chamber," "Garret," and "Cellar."

gable.LocationTour involves standing, walking, and stairs. Visitors

1 of 4 A River Called QuinobequinIn 1630, the date of the first
English settlement, Pequusset, was occupied by indigenous people
under the name Massachusett, who inhabited what is now the Metro
Boston region.They settled and prospered from the rich natural
resources, especially fishing and beaver trapping, associated with
the river they called Quinobequin ("meandering"), which we now call
the Charles River.The land associated with the Cooper Frost Austin
House originally ran south to the common and access to the grazing
land undoubtedly enhanced its value.The 1630 transfer of
"ownership" of Pequuset was not negotiated with its indigenous
inhabitants. Rather, the first English colonists simply seized the
land which they believed was unoccupied, notwithstanding its
seasonal occupation and exploitation by the Massachusett.Find out
