126 FEDERAL STREET
8uilt for
NATHANIEL CHAMBERLAIN, bricklayer
in 1782
Research:
Mark r..Jystedt
December, 1992
�The house at 126 Federal Street was built by Nathaniel Chamberlain,
bricklayer, in 1782. The property had belonged to the Ropes estate on
Essex Street when the laying in of Federal Street seperated this parcel
from the main part of the estate. Benjamin Ropes sold this back parcel
of land to Nathaniel Chamberlain in April of 1782 for 99Ll2s (see,
Edward Stanley Waters, Some Old Estates, Essex Institute Historical
Collection, Vol. XVI, 1879, pg47; and ECRD bkl41 pg35) The deed which
conveyed the adjacent property, at the corner of Lynn Street, from
Jonathan Waldo to Jacob Ashton and Samuel Putnam (ECRD bkl91 pg292),
confirms this, as that property bordered Nathaniel Chamberlain's
property.
Deeds and wills conveying the property from Nathaniel Chamberlain to
the present owners are as follows:
