VISIT “THE ANCIENT HOUSE” IN MEDFIELD
Built in 1711, Medfield’s Peak House is one of the earliest surviving examples of post-Medieval English (Elizabethan) architecture and is the only free-standing structure of its kind in the United States. Its exceptionally steep-pitched roof is the highest on record in Massachusetts for a building its age. Hence, its name, the Peak House.
