�Federal Street was laid out about 1769; called the new street in 1770, new street laid out near the North
River around 1779, a town way in 1782 and, finally, Federal street by 17941.
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.
