This large Neck Road home was built by wealthy Armenian-born rug merchant Hagop Bogigian (1856-1931), who is said to have been the first native importer of Oriental goods in America. The estate, which he maintained from 1905 until his death, originally included an 80-acre tract of land with a formal garden, pond, and orchard. Considered an authority on issues relating to Armenian emigration from Turkey, Bogigian was instrumental in helping many of his fellow countrymen gain entrance to America.
