Corwin House

Here is some interesting info on The Corwin House in Salem Willows (NEV).

The “Witch House” in Salem, Massachusetts, around 1856 and 2019. The house was built around the 1660s or 1670s, and it is among the oldest surviving buildings in Massachusetts. It is also the one of the last remaining building in the city with direct ties to the Salem Witch Trials, having been the home of Judge Jonathan Corwin.

By the time the photo above was taken, the house had undergone changes, including renovations around 1746 that removed the gables and added a gambrel roof. The house later saw further alterations, including the addition of a storefront in the late 19th century.

In 1945, the house shown above was restored to its original 17th century appearance, as shown in the bottom photo. It is now a museum, and is open to the public for tours.
