Historical Significance

The Mansfield Chapter, NSDAR, house, built in 1831, was on land owned by the Reverend Roland Green, American Revolutionary War chaplain of the Mansfield Company, who came to Mansfield in 1761. Green was a pastor and a Patriot. When the American Revolutionary War began and the town fell one short of filling its quota of soldiers, he stepped down from his pulpit, shouldered a musket, and marched off to war. He returned unharmed and resumed preaching. The house has been remodeled but retains most of its original structure, and was a gift to the chapter by Alice I. Cobb. Great care has been taken to lay the foundation of the Mansfield Chapter, NSDAR, which was incorporated on January 7, 1930. 

Style: Colonial Revival
