Mount Boone in Dartmouth was formerly known as Place. The mansion was renamed in the early 17th century. It was home to the families of Boone and Harris and in 1724 the Seale family. Stockdale described it as a Gothic structure on a bold eminence overlooking Dartmouth. The mansion was set within a walled enclosure which was turned into parkland. The estate was broken up after 1873 and sold as building lots in 1899. Some of the walls may have survived.
