Salem's Witch House: A Glimpse into the Lives of Accused Witches

By admin

The Witch House in Salem, Massachusetts, is a historic home that dates back to the 17th century. It is known for its connection to the infamous Salem Witch Trials of 1692. Also known as the Corwin House, it was the home of Jonathan Corwin, a local magistrate who played a role in the trials. The house's association with the witch trials comes from its connection to the trials' earliest stages. Corwin was one of the judges who presided over the trials and signed many of the arrest warrants for those accused of witchcraft. Some of the accused were even interrogated in the house's rooms.

ABOUT THIS ARTWORK: WITCH HOUSE SALEM MASSACHUSETTS The Witch House is the last standing building in Salem Massachusetts that is directly linked to the Witch Trials of 1692. It is also called the Jonathan Corwin House which was the home of Judge Jonathan Corwin.. The house was bought by Judge Corwin in 1675, when he was 24 years old, and he lived there for more than forty years. Corwin is buried in the nearby Broad Street Cemetery. The house remained in the Corwin family until the mid-19th century. As a local magistrate and civic leader, Corwin was called upon to investigate the claims of diabolical activity when a surge of witchcraft accusations arose in Salem and neighboring communities. He took the place of Judge Nathaniel Saltonstall, who resigned after the execution of Bridget Bishop. Corwin served on the Court of Oyer and Terminer, which ultimately sent nineteen to the gallows. All nineteen refused to admit to witchcraft and maintained their innocence. The Witch House is located at 310 Essex Street, at the cross streets of North & Summer in the Chestnut Street District of Salem.

Witch House

Situated on the corner of Summer and Essex Streets, the Witch House, also know as the Corwin House, was built in the 1670's (or earlier) and is one of the oldest dwellings in the United States. Jonathan Corwin, a magistrate during the witchcraft hysteria of 1692 held many pre-trial examinations here of the accused witches. Corwin bought the house in 1675 from Capt. Nathaniel Davenport, who built it. The building underwent more changes when George P. Farrington owned in in the mid 1800's. The apothecary shop was added to the east side front in 1856.

In 1944, when threatened with destruction, The Witch House became the catalyst that launched a wave of restoration in Salem. Historic Salem Inc. raised the $42,500 needed to move and restore the building. The new museum officially opened to the public in 1948 as a furnished historic site. It is owned by the city today and operates seasonally as a museum with guided tour.

The building was moved in the winter of 1945 to allow widening of North Street. Also as part of that project, the Bowditch House was relocated on North Street next to the Witch House. The Corwin House (Witch House) was moved back 35 feet and a new pitched roof (a recreation of the original)was put on at this time. The 1945 building restoration was carried out by Boston architect, Gordon Robb, in consultation with historical architect, Frank C. Brown.

In 1968, the Witch House (or the John Ward House) was put on the National Register of Historic Places.

In 2008, grant money was received for repairs and to make the house wheelchair accessible.

The Park and Recreation Commission denied a request by the group "Spirit Finders" to check the house for paranormal activity in the winter of 2008.
