The House

King Caesar House - 1882

The house which Ezra Weston II could finally call his own was the centerpiece of an awe-inspiring estate on Powder Point. The property had undergone many changes since his grandfather Eliphas Weston first put up a house there in 1738. A peculiar blend of country manor and industrial complex, the estate had no clear division between home and workplace. Almost immediately, the King Caesar House held a certain aura for the community and would breed as many myths as the man.

Surrounded thus by the sounds of men working, machinery turning, barrels and bales being hoisted onto schooners, Ezra Weston II’s wife, Jerusha Bradford Weston, set about keeping house. There is little documentation pertaining to the domestic life of the Weston family beyond the existing physical evidence in the house.
