The house was built in 1888 by Jesse H. Clark on land formerly owned by his father Thomas Clark. The original Clark Farm burned to the ground on July 4, 1888. The Clark family was at an outing at Haggett's Pond and discovered a fire in the house upon their return. An ell which connected the house to the barn was pulled down and the barn was saved.

The original house was built in 1811 by Henry Dane on land given to him by his father Philemon Dane who occupied the original Dane farm to the north at #97 Argilla Road. This land was once part of the Rev. Francis Dane land grant of 1660. After Henry died in 1840 the property was sold to John Abbott who sold to Thomas Clark in 1844.

Clark built a large barn approximately 40 by 80’ to the east of the of the house in the 1850’s. The barn remained until 1948 when it was razed. The farm and 43 acres were sold in 1917 to William Madison Wood, President of the American Woolen Company and became part of the Arden Trust. Many farms were acquired by Wood throughout this neighborhood to supply goods for his model community “Shawsheen Village”.

In 1924 the farm was sold to the Rennie brothers William & Adam, and sister Elizabeth. The Rennie farm was a Strawberry farm of which berries and plants were shipped all over the country. The fields were located across the road in the neighborhood of Strawberry Hill Rd. and Rennie Drive which were developed in 1957. The Rennie family acquired farms at #61 and #111 Argilla Rd. and finally sold off the large house in 1939 with 5 acres on the east side of the road. The house has remained a single residence ever since. Two lots to the north were later created and sold off for house lots, #87 and #91 Argilla and one lot to the south at #81.
