Edward G. Faile Mansion, 1908.

Edward Faile was a wealthy tea and sugar importer who constructed a massive mansion in 1832. The larger estate had been in his family since prior to the Revolutionary War and included other structures that dated to that century. Called "Woodside" the home was fronted with massive Doric columns and surrounded by forest woods. A late 19th century account of the home also noted three other random but specific features of the estate: a flock of peacocks, a large Cedar of Lebanon tree, and two sturdy wooden chairs that supposedly came over on the Mayflower.

Faile died in 1870 and his family continued to reside in the home until the 20th century. In 1908, the American Bank Note Company purchased the large estate. The homes on the tract were soon after razed. Today the massive American Bank Note Company occupies the land that once included the stone mansion.
