Tourism
The structure of the house has remained relatively unchanged throughout its 300 year history. Due to the recent initiative of the Cape Ann Museum, efforts have been made to restore the building and open it to the public. The White-Ellery house offers a chance for members of the Gloucester community and visitors to Cape Ann to learn about the history of the area. The building is a source of pride to the city that is now being shared with the public the first Saturdays of the summer months when local artists will display one-day installations (schedule below).
- June 6: Rose-Marie Glen & Juni Van Dyke

- August 1: Sarah Hollis Perry
- September 5: Chris Williams
The house is located at 244 Washington Street at the corner of Poplar Street, Gloucester. Parking is available behind the house.
