Peirce presented what came to be called 'the pragmatic maxim' to the Metaphysical Club in an 1872 version of his paper 'How to Make Our Ideas Clear'(1878: 132): 'Consider what effects, which might conceivably have practical bearing, we conceive the object of our conception to have.
Peirce worked at the U. Coast and Geodetic Survey in the 60s and 70s, and was appointed to a lectureship in logic in the new Graduate School at Johns Hopkins in 1879; but he was dismissed in 1884, and, despite occasional lectures at Harvard arranged by William James, never taught regularly again.

For years, the Treats and Peirces lived side-by-side, in the mansion and in what is now known as the Waldo Peirce Reading Room (which was, to make things even more confusing, built by a Treat).
As the Treats were known for shipbuilding and lumber, the Peirces were known for their involvement with Mount Waldo Granite Works, which supplied granite for projects as large as the Washington Monument and as small as the foundation of the Treat-Peirce house, which is hand-etched with hundreds of X's.
The Peirces owned the house until 1926, and after that, it changed hands several times, from the Halls and Welches to the Bigelows, and finally to Harrison, who bought the house in May of 1988.
