Burgess Ross and his wife, Hallie Snyder Ross, who had both taught at Atlantic Union College in the 1920s, purchased the former Howe estate on the east side of Main Street in South Lancaster. They improved the place, adding to it and developing a garden with a large greenhouse. Around 1948, the Rosses sold the estate, with its 16 apartments, to the college.
