Description and history
The oldest portion of this house is a "single cell", three bays wide and two stories high, with what is now the central chimney of the house. It was built c. 1669, and extended to its present size, five bays wide, c. 1790. Peter Noyes, the builder, was one of Wayland's early settlers; his daughter, Dorothy, became the second wife of Rev. Samuel Parris, a major figure in the Salem witch trials.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 9, 1990.[1]
gollark: - you should tell people when you find some information on them, not then decide to go hunting for yet more information and not telling them in the meantime- you should stop gathering data on them when they ask you to, and not try and deliberately stop them from knowing you're doing it
gollark: Fine, I'll try and restate my views less ambiguously.
gollark: You did say something about not stopping if someone asked you to?
gollark: Ah, no, I'm not against the telling bit ~~as much as~~ but the refusing to stop bit.
gollark: What? Where am I considering not telling good?
