KING CAESAR HOUSE

The 'King Caesar House' is a historic house located at 120 King Caesar Road, Duxbury, Massachusetts. It is now operated as a non-profit museum by the Duxbury Rural and Historical Society, and open various afternoons during the summer months.
The Federal style house was built in 1808 for Ezra Weston, II (1772-1842) and his wife, Jerusha Bradford Weston. Weston was known as "King Caesar" for his success in shipbuilding and shipping; Lloyd's of London recognized him as the largest shipowner in America.
The house's front rooms, upstairs and downstairs, remain nearly unchanged from their original construction. Especially notable are superb wallpapers in the two front parlors, imported from France for this house and attributed to Dufour. The museum currently displays a variety of Federal artifacts.
