Pickering House, Colonial house in Salem, United States.
The Pickering House features traditional New England architecture with wooden beams, period windows, and multiple additions spanning three centuries of construction.
Built in 1660 by John Pickering, a carpenter from Coventry, England, this residence remained in the possession of the same family for over 330 years.
Each room within the Pickering House presents artifacts and furnishings that demonstrate the evolution of American domestic life from the 17th to 20th centuries.
The Pickering Foundation maintains the property at 18 Broad Street and schedules guided tours for visitors interested in exploring this First Period Colonial house.
The house transformed from a simple two-room farmhouse into an expanded residence incorporating Gothic Revival elements, including roof finials and round gable windows.
