44 North Main Street, the Harry K. Dodge house (1886)
Harry K. Dodge bought the 44 North Main Street homestead of the widow Margaret S. Kendall in 1886. He tore down the old house and erected this Victorian home. The location of the previous house on this lot, owned by Capt. Ephraim Kendall is shown in the 1832 Ipswich map.
Samuel Sawyer sold a half acre and dwelling (that he built about the time he inherited the lot in 1760) to Capt. Ephraim Kendall, Nov. 26,1771 (129: 215). The house continued in the Kendall family until Mr. Harry K. Dodge bought the homestead of the widow Margaret S. Kendall, of her heirs, March 27, 1886. Dodge tore down the old house and erected his present dwelling at 44 N. Main St. *Waters, Ipswich in the Massachusetts Bay Colony Vol. 1
Today, I found a book, ‘Morals and Dogma’ autographed by a Harry K. Dodge on September 25, 1920.
