Ipswich houses that were moved
Ipswich has over 40 houses or other buildings that were moved, or have sections that were moved from a different location. Many other small outbuildings in town were also moved decades ago and are still standing.
Choate-Caldwell House, 16 Elm St. (Now at Smithsonian)
In 1963 this house was slated for destruction, but through the efforts of local preservationists was relocated to the Smithsonian where it resides as the Museum’s largest artifact on permanent display.
The old grain elevator at Tedfords
The building had a long history of use by several businesses for grain storage. It was moved from its original location near the Town Wharf to its present location at Brown Square.
