Built in 1727 under the ownership of Major General William Brattle, this home is one of the many large estates of Cambridge that were owned by wealthy loyalists at the time of the American Revolution. Like many of the other loyalists in the area who fled to safety, the Brattle family too vacated the estate at the onset of the war.
