The Deacon Samuel Hill House is a historic First Period house in Billerica, Massachusetts. The 2+1⁄2-story timber-frame house is estimated to have been built around 1725, based on analysis of its construction techniques. It was probably built by Deacon Samuel Hill, who inherited the property where it stood from Ralph Hill, an early settler of the area. The house was originally a single room in depth, but a leanto was added in the 18th century, giving it the typical Georgian saltbox appearance. One of the upper chambers has a rare example of wood paneling painted with a marbleized finish. The house was moved to its present location (likely a short distance from its original site) sometime in the 1970s.The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.

Farley-Hutchinson-Kimball House

The Farley-Hutchinson-Kimball House is a historic house and barn at 461A and 463 North Road in Bedford, Massachusetts. The property consists of a house whose oldest portions date to c. 1732, and an attached barn from the late 19th century that has been converted to residential use. The buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.The main block of the house, a 2+1⁄2-story five-bay timber-frame structure, was probably built c. 1732 by Christopher Page, for his daughter Joanna and son-in-law Benjamin Farley. It was on property Page subdivided to make the gift and probably already had a house on it. The newer building is surmised to have been built between 1728 and 1732. The Farleys did not stay long in the house, moving to Dunstable, Massachusetts (a part that is now Hollis, New Hampshire) in 1733, selling their farmstead to Benjamin Hutchinson. In the 19th century it passed through several hands, until it was purchased in 1911 by Charles and Edith Kimball, who established a poultry farm on the premises. In 1913 the Kimballs embarked on a major renovation and expansion project, giving the house its Colonial Revival character.From about 1920 into the 1930s the Kimballs also made and sold candy on the premises, adapting the 19th century barn for those purposes. In 1946 the Kimballs converted to barn to two residential apartments. The only major later addition to the property was a c. 1979 kitchen addition to the house, which was executed in a historically sensitive way.
