History
editThe home was built by Joseph Lothrop, the brother-in-law of Nathan A. Fisher, whose house is across the turnpike. The home is located very close to the center of Wessonville, which was the center of town activity at the time. While built as a residential home, the property was renovated and became a restaurant (Bergson's).[2]
In 2013 the home became the corporate headquarters for Penta Communications.[3]
