| Abstract |
Marblehead Jr. High Archives Historical Building Survey
This Colonial home on 11 Washington Street is in the historical section of town. The Old North Church and the Elbridge Gerry House are located just down the street. The house was the first antique store in Marblehead and an old sign reads: Bessom Antiques - 1892.
There is a fascinating tale of the History of 11 Washington Street on page 44 detailing many memories contained within the walls as told by a cat. |
