The Nathan Fisher House is a historic house at 146 Oak Street in Westborough, Massachusetts.
Description and history
The wood frame Federal style house was built c. 1820 by Nathan Fisher, who had married into the locally prominent Lothrop family. Fisher operated a store, which fell into decline after the area was bypassed by the railroad in 1834. Next to the house was also built a thread factory (no longer standing) where the first steam power was used in Westborough.[2] The property was purchased by the state in 1884 and became part of the (now closed) Lyman School for Boys.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980,[1] and included in the historic district encompassing the Lyman School in 1994.[2]
