Hart House Attic Door
ca 1760
Door to the attic of Hart house, the largest artifact in the museum. This Georgian-style, 2 ½-story timber-framed house was built in the 1760s and stood at 16 Elm Street in the center of Ipswich, Massachusetts, until 1963 when efforts by Ipswich citizens saved it from the bulldozer. The house was carefully taken apart-the frame, chimney, and many other pieces were shipped to the Museum and reassembled.
