�DATE DOCUMENTATTON
The first mention of a dwelling house on this land appears in the
August 1783 deed in which Elijah and Jacob Sanderson divide the
"house" and land. The Sandersons first appear on the tax rolls
in "1784-5" when the brothers are each taxed for part of a house,
valued at $300 and a shop, valued at $75.
"Built as a two-family house by and for Jacob and Elijah Sanderson in
1783 ~ this three-story plus hip roof building has two front
entrances, one in each side yard. The house still has Pre-Federal
period molded window caps and sills; the latter are not seen
frequently. The eastern half of the house was modified when Victorian trim and bay windows were added, but the west side remains
as it was with a pedimented, pilastered entrance. Archer says that
Josiah Hayward, a stone mason, lived at #120 where his daughter
kept a pr:Lvate school and that Deacon John Punchard and his daughter
Keziah lived in the other half of the house.
The Sanderson brothers, who bmilt the house, originally came from
Lexington; Elijah is said to have followed a British officer to
Lincoln where he was captured and kept prisoner in the same field
vri th Paul Revere on the eve of April 16, 1776. Not long after this
incident, the two brothers came to Salem and carried on an extensive
venture cabinet trade, shipping fine Salem-made furniture wherever
Salem vessels sailed." (Salem Historic District Study Committee
Investigation)
building permits have been found reeardinc; this house:
1883 April 12 - Mrs. M. Hamblet
bay window in yard over the door.
1888 April 23 - Malvina Hamblet - alteration of building.
