  • This saltbox style home was inspired by the Rebecca Nurse Homestead, built by Townsend Bishop in 1636, then enlarged by Francis Nurse in 1678. The Nurse House is located at 149 Pine Street in Danvers, Massachusetts What is so special about this house? Well it’s not it’s simple mortise and tenon construction, nor it’s central fireplaces, it is it’s history. In the 17th century, Danvers was not a town, but a small village, and it wasn’t call Danvers, it was once known as Salem Village. In the midwinter of 1691/92, girls living in Salem Village began to fall into horrid fits, and in late February, the village doctor concluded that the girls were being afflicted by witchcraft. On March 19, 1692, the girls named the frail 71-year-old matriarch, Rebecca Nurse, as one of their tormentors, four days later constables arrested Rebecca in her bed chamber and took her away from her beloved homestead. In June, Rebecca's trial took place with 40 of her neighbors signing a petition commending her exemplary character. Rebecca was at first found innocent by the jury, but under pressure, they reversed their decision. Rebecca Nurse was finally hanged as a witch on July 19, 1692. I think Rebecca would be pleased to know that her ordeal is credited as the impetus for a shift in public opinion about the validity of witch trials, and that in 1953, the Crucible, a play by the Pulitzer Prize winner Arthur Miller, was based on the actual events of her 1692 witch trial.

    Although old fashioned in looks, the Nurse house has a working kitchen, a cellar in the back that works like a fridge, and both bedrooms have Medieval styled toilets.
