Description
The 2.5 story Greek Revival wood frame house was built in 1839 by Oliver Hastings, a high-profile local builder (whose own mansion is now a National Historic Landmark), in conjunction with Luther Brooks, owner of the next-door house. It was purchased in 1843 by Joseph Lovering, a math professor at Harvard University, and remained in his family until 1941. After serving for a number of years as part of a nursing home, the house was acquired by Harvard in 1961.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[1] It currently houses Harvard's Center for Middle Eastern Studies.

gollark: You just commented on it.
gollark: I wonder why they reacted so strongly to the execution of COMPARTMENTAL SLATS.
