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.
Famous quotes containing the words captain and/or house:
“Adolescents have the right to be themselves. The fact that you were the belle of the ball, the captain of the lacrosse team, the president of your senior class, Phi Beta Kappa, or a political activist doesn’t mean that your teenager will be or should be the same....Likewise, the fact that you were a wallflower, uncoordinated, and a C student shouldn’t mean that you push your child to be everything you were not.”
—Laurence Steinberg (20th century)
“My dwelling was small, and I could hardly entertain an echo in it; but it seemed larger for being a single apartment and remote from neighbors. All the attractions of a house were concentrated in one room; it was kitchen, chamber, parlor, and keeping-room; and whatever satisfaction parent or child, master or servant, derive from living in a house, I enjoyed it all.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
