This imposing Victorian structure, formerly on the north corner of Flagg and Main Streets in the South Village, was built and used as a dormitory for South Lancaster Academy from 1895 to 1899 and then as a sanitarium from 1899 to 1902. Shortly thereafter, Col. John E. Thayer bought the property, the sanitarium was relocated, and the Thayer Bird Museum was built on the site.
