Forbes, Capt. R.B., House - View this location on map

Designed by Isaiah Rogers and built in 1833, this three-story Greek Revival house stands as a testament to New England's extensive China trade during the early 19th century. Chinese furnishings reflect the captain's financial success in the 19th-century China trade. During the Opium War the Chinese refused to trade with British vessels but continued operations with American merchantmen.
