The home, which was vacant and under construction, was built in 1830 and is worth just under $1 million, according to town assessor records obtained by the Boston Globe. The Westwood fire chief told NECN the structure is a total loss.

Firefighters from Walpole, Norwood, Dedham, Medfield, and Dover helped extinguish the blaze.

There’s no word yet on what sparked the fire. The state fire marshal will investigate.
