Contents

A dendrochronology survey in 2007 proved that the earliest portion of the "Hart" house dates to 1680 when it was built by a newly married Samuel Hart, a tanner. For many years it was thought to date to 1640 as the home of his father, Thomas Hart. [1] The house as originally built was a two-and-one half story single room plan house, with a chimney bay on the east end. An addition was later added onto the opposite side of the chimney c.1725. Restorations to the house to make it more original took place in 1902 when it was used as a guest house. Two full interior rooms from the original structure were purchased in the 1930s by New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art (purchased a downstairs room) and Delaware's Winterthur Museum (purchased an upstairs room) as exhibits. [1] The Hart House now serves as a tavern and restaurant in Ipswich. [2]
