Brattle Square is named for William Brattle, whose house (c. 1727, NR/NRD/LHD) still stands at 42 Brattle Street, now the home of the Cambridge Center for Adult Education. A Tory, Brattle fled during the Revolution, when George Washington's aide-de-camp Thomas Mifflin used the building, a clap-boarded five-bay, gambrel-roofed residence with a handsome pedimented entrance.
