Asa Waters Mansion


123 Elm Street
Millbury, MA 01527

In 1824 prosperous gunsmith and local worthy Asa Waters II set out to build the stateliest residence in the country. It took two full years to amass the necessary materials for what is now known as the Asa Waters Mansion and Mr. Waters spared no expense: hard pine from the southern United States, marble from Italy, mahogany from Central America, bricks from Baltimore, Maryland, "pumpkin pine" from Maine, and more, all had to be brought to the site from the Boston ports by horse and wagon.
