Jacob was a graduate of Harvard, Class of 1792, and on 20 Sept 1796 he bought 8 acres (32,000 m2) from his father, bordering on Fresh Pond, and erected the "Fresh Pond Hotel", which was a popular resort.

Jacob Wyeth resided on the estate until 14 Jan 1857, when he died at nearly 93 years of age.

In 1892 the hotel was moved from its original location at Fresh Pond to 234 Lakeview Avenue.
