<p>10.114.10.150: </p> <hr /> <div>*The House of Seven Gables was built in 1668 for Capt. John Turner, a successful merchant, and remained in his family for three generations. &quot;Facing south toward the harbor, it was at first a two-room, two-and-one-half-story, central-chimney plan with two &quot;Gothic&quot; cross-gables in front&quot; according to Tolles in his book Architecture in Salem.<br /> <br /> *The house was altered and added onto for many years adding a wing and a garret with three gables.<br /> *We are perhaps most familiar with the house through Nathaniel Hawthorne's famous book ''The House of the Seven Gables''.<br /> *In 1908, the house was bought by the House of Seven Gables Settlement Association, founded by [[Emmerton, Caroline O.|Caroline O. Emmerton]] who used the admission fees to help support the Association's nearby settlement house. The Association was set up to help support immigrant's families with services like literacy and job placement.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Browse Index]]<br /> [[Category:Buildings]]<br /> <br /> ==See Also==<br /> *Vertical File in Salem Collection - House of Seven Gables<br /> <br /> *[http://www.7gables.org/ House of Seven Gables] website<br /> <br /> *[http://innopac.noblenet.org/search/t?searchtype=t&amp;searcharg=chronicles+of+three+old+houses&amp;searchscope=24&amp;SORT=D Chronicles of Three Old Houses] by Caroline O.

<p>10.114.10.150: </p> <hr /> <div>The Salem Witch hysteria and trials took place in 1692 in what is now the cities of Danvers, Salem, Beverly and Topsfield. It started with young girls (one a minister's daughter) falling into uncontrollable fits, claiming to be possessed by witches. By the end, 19 people had been hung and 1 man had been pressed to death.<br /> Eventually, hundreds of residents were accused of witchcraft and more than 100 were arrested.<br /> For in-depth research and analysis of these happenings, consult the websites below. <br /> <br /> ==See Also==<br /> [http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/salem/witchcraft/home.html Salem Witch Trials] Documentary archive by the University of Virginia.<br /> <br /> [http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/salem/witchcraft/texts/ Salem Witchcraft Papers] by U. of Virginia<br /> <br /> [http://www.law.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/salem/SALEM.HTM Salem Witchcraft Trials, 1692] by U. of Kansas-City, School of Law.<br /> <br /> [http://www.danverslibrary.org/archives/archives2.html Danvers Archival Center]<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Browse Index]]<br /> [[Category:Events]]</div>
