At the turn of the century the house was owned by Dr. James MacAllister of Philadelphia and used by him as a summer residence.

One of the oldest carousels in the United States-some sources claim the oldest--this is the only flying-horse carousel surViving in the country. It was brought to Watch Hill in 1883 and was originally sheltered under canvas; the present enclosure dates from a later period. Originally horse-drawn and later water-powered, it is now electrified.
