The 1832 Ipswich map shows a house at this location owned by Moses Caldwell. In the 1856 map, W. Burroughs is shown as the owner. The 1872 map and the 1884 map show the lot with a house, owned by W. Burrows. The house at 15 Spring Street is shown in the 1893 Ipswich Birdseye Map. The 1910 map shows the property as the “Burroughs Est.”
In the book Ipswich in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, Thomas Franklin Waters researched the history of this lot: John Dennis sold John Caldwell a narrow strip on the northeast side of his lot in 1722. Moses Caldwell sold the lot with a dwelling to Stephen Caldwell, on May 8, 1824 (236: 10). Stephen Caldwell of Newburyport quit-claimed to Elizabeth Caldwell for $100 on Oct. 4, 1839 (321: 286). David Pulcifer and his wife Elizabeth Caldwell sold the lot and the buildings thereon, “being the same estate conveyed to Elizabeth by Stephen Caldwell on July 10, 1851, for $400. (448: 82). Evidently, William Burrows constructed the present house after the 1856 purchase. The company Burrows and Hunt was one of several Ipswich manufacturers of stockings in the second half of the 19th century.
In April 1890 William H. Burrows sold the property for $1.00 to Kiah B. Glidden of Manchester, NH “with the dwelling house and other buildings on Spring St…being the premises owned by my late wife Mirriam G. Burrows.” (01273: 433). Mirriam G. Burrows died in 1890 (view source)
