White-Ellery House, First Period house in Gloucester, Massachusetts, United States
The White-Ellery House stands as a two-and-a-half-story saltbox structure with a central chimney, vertical plank frame construction, and a framed front facade overhang.
Built in 1710 for Reverend John White, the house later served as a tavern under James Stevens before becoming the residence of Captain William Ellery in 1740.
The interior features early New England decorative elements including painted wall decorations, ceiling beams with elaborate chamfering, and a developed front staircase design.
The Cape Ann Museum maintains this National Register of Historic Places property, offering public access during scheduled events at 247 Washington Street.
In 1947, workers moved the entire structure approximately 100 yards from its initial location to accommodate the construction of Route 128.
