  <mods:abstract>Stone house built by General Nathaniel Austin. Built of stone brought from the outer Brewster Island in Boston Harbor, which he purchased for $400 in 1799. The island is 17 acres in extent, and is said by Edward Rowe Snow to have cliffs that surpass that of Nahant. The Austin House still stands at the junction of Main and Harvard Streets. He also built the stone house on Town Hill later occupied by the Charlestown Dispensary (1873). He was a strong advocate of free bridges, and he or his sons, Nathaniel and Arthur, provided more of this same stone for the macadamizing of Warren Bridge.</mods:abstract>
