| Other Lot Structures | John Shed House (Built 1688) |
This outbuilding stands about thirty yards south-west of the John Shed House at 329 Boston Road, on the house lot of about six-tenths of an acre that is now cut from the old Shed farm, a strip of some thirty acres that runs from the road west to the Concord River. It measures roughly twenty-nine by twenty-seven feet. No record found gives the year it was built or its first use; the date of 1727 is the year John Shed bought the farm, not a date for this building.
The farm had outbuildings from its earliest recorded sales. Henry Jefts Jr. sold the thirty-acre "Messuage or House Lott" to Nathaniel Rogers Jr. in 1718 "with all ye buildings," and Rogers sold it to John Shed on Dec. 26, 1727 "with all the buildings fences and trees." When Shed's estate was divided in 1754 the homestead had "a Mansion House thereon standing and a Barn"; his widow Elizabeth received ten acres on the south side of the farm, the east end of the house and the west end of the barn, and the rest went to the eldest son, John Shed. After his death in 1797 his brother and sisters quitclaimed "the whole of the lands & buildings" to his son Zaccheus Shed, whose executor sold "the homestead farm ... with all the buildings standing thereon" at auction in 1823. Every later deed of "the Shed farm," through the sale to J. Russell Spalding in 1854, conveys it with the buildings, and the trustees of the Howe School held it under Spalding's will until 1922.
The first drawing of the farm buildings is the plan C. H. Gannett made on Dec. 29, 1920 for the Land Court registration of the farm (plan 8341-A). It shows the house at the edge of the County Road, a large L-shaped barn behind it to the west, a small building just south of the barn, two long buildings near the Boston and Maine Railroad on the south line, and a row of small buildings along the riverbank. The farm was sold in 1922 to Carrie C. Corkum and in 1928 to Edward P. and Mary E. Collins, who sold the corner by the railroad that year and two lots on the road in 1949 and 1950.
By June 29, 1990, when Raymond Engineering Service drew the subdivision plan for the family's Lots 3 and 4 (plan 8341-I), the big barn west of the house was gone. The plan shows the house, a single rectangular outbuilding south-west of it, which is this building, and a small shed farther back. Its place is close to that of the small building on the 1920 plan, so it may be the same structure or a replacement on its site; no record says which. The house lot and the outbuilding, with the thirty-seven acres of field and wetland behind them, have remained in the same family since 1928.
