Benjamin Abbot House
Benjamin Abbot House, Colonial house in Andover, Massachusetts.
The Benjamin Abbot House features a two-and-a-half-story wooden structure with a central chimney, clapboard exterior, and gabled roof at 9 Andover Street.
Built in 1711, the house gained recognition when Benjamin Abbot accused his neighbor Martha Allen Carrier of witchcraft during the New England witch trials of 1692.
The interior maintains original architectural elements including exposed beams measuring 15 inches thick and period-specific construction techniques that represent early American craftsmanship.
The property stands southwest of downtown Andover near Interstate 93, offering visitors access to guided tours that explain colonial architecture and domestic life.
The house remained in the possession of ten generations of the Abbot family from 1711 until 1934, when ownership transferred outside the family line.
