	Samuel Foster House The Samuel Foster House (also known as the Foster-Emerson House) is a historic house in Reading, Massachusetts. Samuel Foster, an early miller and farmer built the house in 1709 and his family resided in the building until Ebenezer Emerson purchased the house from the Fosters in 1769.
