Day-Dodge House, Ipswich MA

The Day-Dodge House, 57 N. Main St. (1737)

This house has three entrances, and the corner section at North Main and East Street, constructed in 1737, has significant First Period elements that may be from a 1696 barn that was previously at this location. The rest of the house has Georgian and Federal features and a continuous hip roof, dating to the second half of the 18th Century. The first owner Nathaniel Day died very early, and in 1755 at the age of 26, his widow married Col. Isaac Dodge, who served as a member of the Committee of Correspondence and Safety during the Revolutionary War.
