Historic Ipswich 
Hi I’m looking for the backstory of the 1830 home at 1 Broadway Ave. I have lived here for years and as of Sept 1 it will be no more.
Looking at the deeds, there was no house on the lot until the 20th Century, so it appears that the house was moved to this location. Can you provide more information or a way to contact you? We have not received a demolition request.
