Salem had the highest elegance in the Federal Period on the North Shore, from the China Trade, which was unmatched in most area seaports. This wonderful example has intricate carving at the top of the Palladian window, on top of the graduated windows and all around the most handsome doorway columns. The second level on the left hand side offers a most lavish porch-like embellishment that was rare. Even the large carriage house at the rear is constructed in the fine style of brick, carved limestone and wood.
