After receiving no takers for the free, historic house at 7 Eliza Lane, homeowner David Mitchell will likely move forward with demolition.

The pre-1817, 1,175-square-foot home was listed for free last September after conversations with the Historical Commission resulted in as a six-month demolition delay, a last chance to save the historic building. But of the approximately seven inquiries, no one took up the offer, said Mitchell.

“The cost of moving the house didn’t make it worth it,” Mitchell said, who, after looking into the cost himself, received estimates ranging from $75,000 to $125,000, with additional fees for daily and overnight parking.

Mitchell also looked into using a flatbed truck and disassembling the home, but said no one had the ability to do that.

Mitchell said that while the house once sheltered Mayflower descendents, the house didn’t have anything notably historic — such as crafted molding, antique flooring, and era doorways — about it. This was another deterrent for potential buyers, he said.

“I think it is sad, but there is no real architectural significance here,” he said. “Truth is, it’s just a run of the mill house made from scraps they had on the farm when it was built.”

At the very least, Mitchell hopes to salvage some of the hemlock wood in the house. The Historical Commission cleared the property of the demolition delay at its March 6 meeting, according to the commission’s Judy Lund.

While he’s still deciding what to do, Mitchell said it’s likely he’ll move forward with demolition. Mitchell has lived in the two-bedroom house for the past 20 years. He said he and his wife are ready for something new.
