Samuel McIntire (1757-1811), widely known for his woodcarvings, was also one of the first architects in the United States. Influenced by Boston's Charles Bullfinch, he gradually learned the profession after years as a master woodcarver.
He became well-known in Salem as an architect after Elias H. Derby hired him to design a home. McIntire went on to design more homes for Derby and soon became sought after by many wealthy Salemites.
Some of his more famous buildings still standing are the Pierce-Nichols House, the Gardner-Pingree House and the Peabody-Silsbee House. Some of his public buildings are the Assembly Hall and Hamilton Hall.
