The ‘Brook Farm’, situated in West Roxbury, consisting of a mansion house and three other dwellings, a large barn, factory building and green-house, and 202 acres of land was sold at auction on Friday afternoon. It was knocked down to J. L. Plummer, Esq. for $19,450. The real purchaser is supposed to be the city of Roxbury. It is said that the city intends to devote the farm to an almshouse.
