The Abraham Watson House is not only a good example of 18th century architecture, built in 1751, but it is also an example of Cambridge’s role in the American Revolution.

Watson was also a delegate to the Provincial Congress, which met in Cambridge in 1774.  He and his house is a reminder of Cambridge’s role in The American Revolution
