Comments
An address for the house would be helpful on this item. I'm familiar with most of the historic houses around Concord, and this isn't the Alcott house, right? So this is some other house, which is not marked as "The Wayside" on the map, and which isn't the Wayside Inn a few miles up the way either, so... it has an address, because it's on a street somewhere, so please add that to the item, and add the building under this name to your .pdf map linked at the website.
The Wayside is located at 455 Lexington Road in Concord,MA
