SALEM MASS
(C) SARAH W SYMONDS
The House of the Seven Gables is a colonial mansion in Salem, Massachusetts. The House was built in 1668 by Captain John Turner. The mansion was made famous by Nathaniel Hawthorne's book,
"The House of Seven Gables" written in 1850. The Book's Setting was inspired by Hawthorne's cousin Susanna Ingersoll who once owned the house and by Hawyjorne's other ancestors who had played
a role in the Salem Witch Trials of 1692.
Sarh Symonds once had a gift shop across from the House of Seven Gables. This Doorstop was made to commemorate its restoration in 1909. The house has gone thru various changes over the years,
with the original front gables being removed. Now, the house is now a non-profit museum. See the house today in View
