The house currently known as 183R Federal Street was originally 103 Federal Street, the houses and buildings at this address were sometimes referred to as Lummus or Tuttle Court in various city directories. According to Michael Pitman’s probate record of 1831/1832 he had two workshops on the property2. By the time Andrew Lunt bought the property in 1832 it was being used as a wheelwright shop3. At the time of the 1837 Salem City Directory it was still being used as a wheelwright shop by David Ross. Between 1842 and at least 1853 it continued to mostly be used as a wheelwright shop while also being occupied as a dwelling house. By the 1855 Salem City Directory, 103 Federal had been renumbered to 183R Federal, which remains so numbered to this day. Various members of the Tuttle family have lived in this house for around 105 years between 1859 and 1964. 183R Federal Street, 1981 (MACRIS SAL.658) 1 Essex Antiquarian, Vol. 7, Pg. 67 Essex County, MA: Probate File Papers, 1638-1881.Online database.
