Isaac Hobbs House
The Isaac Hobbs House is a historic colonial home in Weston, Massachusetts. It was built around 1749 by Ebenezer Hobbs. His son, Isaac Hobbs, was a Revolutionary War veteran who served as a town selectman and a representative in the state legislature, and he owned a tannery next to the house that was an important local business. The tannery operated until 1860 and is now town conservation land.
The house is a 2.5-story wooden building with a gabled roof and clapboard siding. It stands near the North Avenue and Church Street junction in the Kendal Green area. The front is five bays wide with a centered door and a cross gable above the middle section. A two-story ell extends to the left and a small single-story ell projects to the right. The oldest portion was built about 1749, and Ebenezer Hobbs’s family had owned the land since 1729.
A later descendant, J. F. Baldwin Marshall, served as paymaster general to Massachusetts troops in the Civil War and owned the house at one time. The Isaac Hobbs House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 and became part of the Kendal Green Historic District in 2000.
