Gardner-Pingree House, Federal architectural landmark in Salem, Massachusetts.

The Gardner-Pingree House displays sophisticated brickwork in Flemish bond pattern, with marble trim bands separating each of its three floors.

Built in 1804 by architect Samuel McIntire for merchant John Gardner, the house changed ownership multiple times due to financial challenges during maritime trade decline.

The residence exemplifies Federal period architecture with Corinthian columns, carved woodwork, and decorative elements that influenced American residential design.

Located at 128 Essex Street, the property operates as a museum within the Peabody Essex Museum complex, presenting period furnishings and architectural details.

The house gained notoriety as the site of Joseph White's 1830 murder case, which influenced literary works by Edgar Allan Poe and Nathaniel Hawthorne.
