Pickman House

The Pickman House is a First Period structure located on Charter Street in Salem, Massachusetts, behind the Peabody Essex Museum. As no published dendrochronology study has been done, the exact build date of this home is disputed. In either case the house is thought to have stood during the Salem witch trials of 1692 and 1693. The house is now part of a group of properties that form the Charter Street Historic District. It has been described by the Massachusetts Historical Commission as a rare surviving example of 17th century architecture. The house was restored by Historic Salem, Inc. in 1969 and purchased by the Peabody Essex Museum in 1983. It’s listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
