Thanks for your comment. The post is about Colonial-era houses of Groveland, and the state Historical Commission site gives a date of 1798, which is well into the Federal era. But I added it for you anyway. Do you have information that the house was constructed before the Revolutionary War? https://historicipswich.org/2017/02/08/groveland-colonial-houses/

Oh, I’m so pleased to have stumbled across this! I spent my earliest years in the second home listed, 300 Center St. and my grandfather was born there! My father and grandfather renovated it in the ’80s, rebuilding and restoring much of the home. It was quite the labor of love and they did a beautiful job. We moved away in 1997, but I any time I have found myself back in the area I am sure to drive by. It’s a lovely home and I’m so glad it was featured here.
