He began in 1802 to erect back from the old way, fittingly called Grove street, a mansion house befitting his means—he was the merchant prince of New England. It took four years for its completion, and meanwhile the canal was finished and in operation, thus dividing his farm into two parts, the farm buildings on one and the new and stately dwelling on the other. The canal proprietors were obliged to build and maintain an accommodation bridge in such cases, which they did. After some twenty years, Mr. Broo
