Built in 1772, the Edmund Fowle House is Watertown's second-oldest surviving house and a notable late colonial building with a hip roof, central chimney, and refined central entrance. During the early American Revolution, after patriot leaders left British-occupied Boston, Watertown became the seat of the Provincial Congress, and the house hosted committees of the 2nd and 3rd Provincial Congress from April 22 to July 19, 1775, then the Executive Committee until September 18, 1776. In 1776 it was also the site of the Treaty of Watertown with the St. John's and Mi'kmaq First Nations of Nova Scotia. Moved to Marshall Street in 1871, it is now a local history museum.
