The private residence at 95 High Street is a well-preserved First Period half-house. The first owner, Simon Adams was born in 1652, the son of Ipswich settler William Adams and his wife Elizabeth Stacy. Simon was a veteran of King Philip’s War, and by occupation he was a weaver. Captain Simon Stacey in his will deeded this property to Simon Adams in 1699. The deed to an adjoining property lists Simon Adams’s lot abutting in 1707. He died in Ipswich on October 17, 1723, and his wife Hannah died on May 6, 1727.
