Borden-Pond House
The Borden-Pond House is a historic house at 40 Laurel Street in Worcester, Massachusetts, at its junction with Edward Street. The three story stone house was built c. 1856-59, and is an architecturally unusual example of Second Empire styling with a colorful ownership history. It was probably built by John Borden, a mason and its first resident, built was sold to Lucius Pond in 1861. Pond was a leading local industrialist, who helped invent the Ellsworth repeating rifle. Pond was director of a local bank when rumors of its insolvency led to his flight in 1875. He was arrested in San Francisco, California, attempting to gain passage on a ship to Australia. Pond was convicted of forging bank notes, and spent seven years in prison. The house originally had a mansard roof, but this was squared off to a full third story. It is a rare survivor from a period when a number of stone villas were built in the area.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NRHP nomination for Borden-Pond House )〕
