Oral tradition holds that Robert T. Blazo, as a young man of fifteen in 1812, and later aged twenty in 1817, had helped with the construction of his uncle's house.

Designed by architect Thomas Eaton, according to both family tradition and affirmed by a Maine preservationist, the home is on the National Register of Historic Places.

The home also boasts elaborately carved and pillared entrances with leaded glass fans and sidelights, panelled doors, and small-paned windows.

A complete description of the interior of the house is described in a long narrative poem entitled "Flora Visits Parsonsfield" by Mary Freeman, a resident of the house for thirty years and great, great granddaughter of Robert and Mary Blazo.

All four Blazo children attended Parsonsfield Seminary, to which their father had conveyed the land and helped establish.

The couple married, and moved into the Blazo house with her parents; they had one child, Robert Greenleaf Leavitt.

The Blazo and Leavitt family have been associated with Parsonsfield Seminary, which is located directly across the road from the house.
