John Whipple House, Colonial residence in Ipswich, United States
The John Whipple House features oak, tamarack, pine, and chestnut framework with large fireplaces, summer beams, and original wide board floors.
The initial structure, built in 1677 by Captain John Whipple, expanded when his son Major John Whipple added a second section in 1690.
The building represents first-period American architecture through its preserved wooden framework, traditional room layout, and structural elements from the colonial era.
The Ipswich Museum operates guided tours of the John Whipple House from late May through October, Thursday to Sunday.
The house traveled through Ipswich and crossed the Choate Bridge in 1927 when relocated to its current location at South Green.
