10.114.10.224:

Located on 180 Derby Street in the historic district, this Federal period building was built between 1810-1812 for Benjamin W. Crowninshield. Established through a perpetual trust in 1861, this became the first residence for elderly women in Salem. Twice enlarged in 1870 and again in 1916, this house has since the mid 1800's been a residence for elderly women who want to live in a homelike setting while retaining their independence and privacy. There is an attractive interior, with dining room and formal parlors.
