BOSTON, MA — Rumor has it that Ebenezer Hancock, the younger brother of John Hancock, once stored two million silver crowns loaned by the French government in a building currently listed for sale in Boston.

The former home of John Hancock at 10 Marshall St. is for sale for the first time in years. It also serves as the last property associated with him in Boston.

The building is three stories and has retained many of its Georgian details throughout the years, dating back to the 1700s. In addition to its place on the National Historic Register, the home is also a stop on Boston's Freedom Trail.
