This dwelling on the Old Union Turnpike near Route 2 was originally used as an infirmary by the nearby Shirley Shaker Community. It was moved to a site across from the Old Brick Tavern to serve as a caretaker's cottage c. 1905-1909. The Shaker Village was begun when Mother Anne Lee visited the area in the late 18th century. A small Shaker cemetery and their Holy Hill are located north of Route 2 on the Lancaster-Shirley line.
