Captain Goodwin-James Custis House

Captain James Goodwin/Eustis House is a historic house at 1 Elm Street in Wakefield, Massachusetts.

It was built circa 1760 by Captain James Goodwin and subsequently added onto by James Eustis and other families since. The town records were destroyed in the late eighteenth century and thus the oldest map to show the house is 1790. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.

    Amidst the downward tendency and proneness of things, when every voice is raised for a new road or another statute or a subscription of stock; for an improvement in dress, or in dentistry; for a new house or a larger business; for a political party, or the division of an estate;Mwill you not tolerate one or two solitary voices in the land, speaking for thoughts and principles not marketable or perishable?
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
