The brick house was built in 1810 in a Federal style. It was added to the National Historic Register in 1974. Abolitionists and suffragists Abigail Kelly and Stephen Symonds Foster owned the house from 1847 to 1881 and refused to pay taxes on the house because of Kelly's lack of suffrage.
==========
Abby Kelley Foster (January 15, 1811 – January 14, 1887) was an American abolitionist and radical social reformer active from the 1830s to 1870s. She became a fundraiser, lecturer and committee organizer for the influential American Anti-Slavery Society, where she worked closely with William Garrison and other radicals. She also worked for equal rights for women.
Her former home of Liberty Farm in Worcester, Massachusetts has been designated a National Historic Landmark.
