This is an early view of the Victorian villa that Nathaniel Thayer II (the banker) built on the site of his father's parsonage, probably very shortly after his mother's death in 1857. Sentimentally called the Homestead, the dwelling was later greatly enlarged by his son Nathaniel Thayer III after the death of his mother, Cornelia van Rensselaer Thayer, in 1897.
