A well-known 19th-century nurseryman and fruit breeder, John B. Moore cultivated a fine apple orchard of approximately forty trees that he put up for sale in 1857. The orchard captured the heart of Amos Bronson Alcott, who considered the apple the most perfect of fruits. So taken was he with the property’s six apple varieties that he named his new home Orchard House.

The Timothy Wheeler House, a Greek Revival home with a distinctive columned portico and gabled roof, has housed the Concord Home for the Aged since 1887. It was named for Timothy Wheeler, who owned the site and the land across the street where he operated a grist mill.
