HARRIET BULL TRUST MARBLEHEAD ESTATE AUCTION

HARRIET BROWN BULL TRUST The Thomas Gerry House aka "The Hearth and Eagle" Built by Samuel Goodwin c1727 From the front steps one can see the waves crash behind the gardens of the front yard, hear the gulls mew, the bell buoy ring as salt air wraps around one's nose. Today we share this special setting with shoreman William Peach Brown (1780-1838) son of Captain John Brown (Privateer during the American Revolution) who purchased the house in 1832. For (5) succeeding generations this home has been passed down through one family.
