The north half of original Lot #65 (that portion north of present day Denison Avenue) was purchased in 1818 from Samuel, George, and Richard Lord by Ebenezer Fish Jr. The amount of land in this purchase covered about 79 acres.
Ebenezer farmed the land for several years after his return from military service and later started selling off property along Pearl St. for commercial development.
When he reached retirement age, he sold off land from the western portion in 1854 to Bibbins and Betts for residential development, and began transfering ownership of the eastern portion to his son, John Stanton Fish. The last known transaction is dated September 1876 just a few years before Ebenezer died.
