The 16th Witness House is the Moses Tenney House (1763)
67 Glenview St
One of the 2 chimneys appears to be original. Moses was born in 1740 in Mendon and moved to Upton after his marriage to Ann Moor in 1763. Robert Fisk purchased the house as a one story building and raised it to 2 story which had a value of $320 in the late 18th century. Robert Fisk was a cooper by trade, a highly skilled craftsman who produced barrels or kegs.
