Boardman House, Hall and parlor house in Saugus, Massachusetts.
The Boardman House features a central chimney stack with five fireplaces, original oak clapboards, and massive timber framing with decorative details throughout the structure.
Built in 1692 for William Boardman, a joiner, the house received National Historic Landmark status in 1961 due to its preserved seventeenth-century building materials.
The interior layout, with separate work and social spaces, demonstrates the evolution of domestic architecture at the end of the seventeenth century.
Visitors can access the house at 17 Howard Street through guided tours during select weekends between June and October, with parking available on the street.
Dendrochronology research conducted in 2008 revealed that the lean-to section was reconstructed in 1731 using beams from 1693-1694.
