Dive into Marblehead\u2019s architectural heritage through a talk about five Glover family homes from the mid-1700s, with photos, beginning with General John Glover\u2019s handsome Georgian-style home located on today\u2019s Glover Square, near the public Town Landing on Front Street. Glover\u2019s heroism in the American Revolution is well known. But this talk will feature stories about the homes, lives and families of General Glover and his three brothers.<\/p>\n

General Glover\u2019s home is one of Marblehead\u2019s most significant houses, among nearly 300 homes that still survive from the 1700s, before the American Revolution began in 1775, Its elegant front doorway frame also makes it among the most stylish, since only about a half dozen from that time remain that were not updated or remodeled as styles changed. Unlike most homes from the 1700s, the Glover house also retains much of its original interior woodwork craftsmanship. In addition, one of its two front rooms has finely carved woodwork in the \u201cFederal\u201d or neoclassical style, from the decades before the War of 1812.<\/p>\n

In 1781, toward the end of General Glover\u2019s retirement from nearly seven years of grueling service in the Revolution, he purchased a farmhouse that is now located on a uniquely shared historic site in Swampscott, Marblehead and Salem. The house is thought to have been built in the 1750s in what was then Salem, though new evidence suggests it may have been built as early as 1732, the year Glover was born.<\/p>\n

Over the fifteen years before General Glover\u2019s death in 1797, he would serve in elected offices on the local, regional and state level, including as a Marblehead selectman, a Massachusetts state legislator, and on state committees that ratified the U.S. Constitution and oversaw land distribution in northern New England.<\/p>\n
