Elbridge Gerry House, Historic residence in Marblehead, United States.
The Elbridge Gerry House at 44 Washington Street features symmetrical design, classic proportions, and a Greek Revival entrance added in the 1820s.
Built between 1730 and 1742, the house was the birthplace of Elbridge Gerry, a signer of the Declaration of Independence and Vice President under James Madison.
The house stands as a testament to Georgian architecture and represents the early American political landscape during the formation of the United States.
The property maintains its original location opposite the Old North Church and received National Register of Historic Places designation in July 1973.
The term gerrymandering originated from Elbridge Gerry's electoral district modifications during his tenure as Massachusetts governor from 1810 to 1812.
