BiographyConverse Family: "Samuel Storms Houghton was truly a self-made man. Beginning active life without resources of any kind, by indomitable perseverance he attained a fortune, besides dispensing largely to the poor. He was the founder of the prominent dry goods house of S. S. Houghton & co. of Boston, Mass., which afterwards became the firm of Houghton & Dutton. He was also the founder of the department store in the United States. His early years were passed at the parental home in Fairlee, Vt., where he received such education as was afforded by the district schools. Coming to Boston at the age of fourteen years to live his brother George, who was engaged in the wholesale dry-goods business he attended school two years, and after that was employed as a clerk in his brother's store. He first went into business for himself as a retail dealer in fancy goods on Washington Street, remaining there five years, and then removing to Tremont Street, opposite the Tremont House. He was associated with Mr. George Brooks for a short time, the partnership being dissolved by the death of Mr. Brooks. In 1858 Mr. Houghton went to New York City, and, forming a co-partnership with R. H. Macy, his brother-in-law, conducted a mercantile business for five years, under the firm name of R. H. Macy & Co., 14th Street and Sixth Avenue. In the course of a few years they separated, Mr. Macy remaining in New York, and Mr. Houghton removing to Boston, and opening the Tremont Street Store which subsequently became that of Houghton & Dutton. Mr. Houghton was, however, alone, when, in 1872, he started the business, and he was then occupying a small portion of the old Pavilion Hotel. The partnership with Mr. Dutton was formed in January, 1874, and that was the starting point of the first department store in New England, and the second one in the United States. It has become a very large establishment with about a thousand employees. Its location was the northwest corner of Tremont and Beacon Streets. Mr. Houghton developed great ability in the retail dry goods business, and was the originator of many ideas, which have been copied by the large department stores throughout the United States. With the exception of the five years that he spent in New York City, he was a resident of Melrose, from January 1849 until his death. He contributed to the support of the Congregational Church of Melrose, at which he was an attendant. His political affiliation were weith the Whig party and its successor, the Republican. He was a great lover of horses and much of his time during the summer seasons was spent on his large stock farm at Orford, N.H., on the Connecticut River, opposite Fairlee, Vt., his birthplace and childhood home. He bought this farm about the year 1873, and took great pleasure in its improvement. Among his valuable road horses was the famous stallion, "Guy Wilkes". On this stock farm he built, in 1877, one of the finest stock barns in the country...Farm house and mansion containing thirty-two rooms. The farm consists of 750 acres of land, devoted to the raising of blooded trotting horses...In 1891 he purchased a beautiful home in Homosassa, Citrus Co., Florida, on the Homosassa River...Mrs. Houghton was a member of the Congregational Church in Lyme, and is a member of the Congregrational Church in Melrose."

Genealogy and history of representative citizens of the commonwealth of Massachusetts:

His parents were Peter and Nancy Ann (Storms) Houghton. The history of his ancestors in America is to be looked for in the records of Worcester and Middlesex Counties, Massachusetts. His father, Peter Houghton, who d. at Fairlee, Vt., August 15, 1855, was b. January 25, 1768, at Leominster, Mass., being the youngest son of Abiathar and Millicent (Carter) Houghton.2

BiographyHe was co-owner of the firm of Houghton & Dutton of Boston, with his father in law Samual S. Houghton. He and his wife were residents of Medford, MA.

Andrew Jarecki: My first interest was in finding any plans or photographs of Harry Dutton's famous house in Maine, called the Dutton Camp. He and his wife, Alice Houghton, built it in 1898/9 on a small island they had bought in Lake Richardson, Errol (New Hampshire). Evidently, the house and island was given up by the family in 1940 and then the house was torn down by the power company in preparation for a planned flooding of the area that never happened. Architecturally it was a very unusual and beautiful place.4
ParentsSBenjamin Franklin Dutton of Malden, Mass, who was born in Hillsboro 14 Oct. 1831. His mother, Harriet Lucina Hatch, was born in Almstead, NH, 8 Ju. 1831.
