It is one of eleven houses within the Minute Man National Historic Park that still exists today.

Elizabeth died in 1757, and Joseph remarried, to Olive Jones, thirty-three years his junior.

[1] The home is named for Olive Stow, a widow, and sister of Farwell Jones, who lived at the adjacent home to the east (now known as the Farwell Jones House) around the same time, in the second half of the 18th century.

[1] Olive died in 1811, at which point two-thirds of the home became the property of Nathaniel, who had also been living there.

[1] The Hardy family remained owners until 1834, when the home was sold to Ephraim Meriam and Nathaniel Rice.
