24 Summer Street, the William E. Barton House (1884)
From 1940 into the 21st Century, this was the home of Ervin Langmaid and his wife, Mary Barton.
This photo was taken in 1891. William B. Barton wrote that his mother, Mrs. William E. Barton, was standing in the doorway. Her maiden name was Mary A. McCarthy. Sitting on the top steps are William J. Barton and Theresa Jane Barton. The little boy sitting on the lower step was Benny Ellsworth, who died as a child.

Barton property first appears in the 1884 Ipswich village map, apparently the house at 30 Summer Street, under the ownership of J. F. Barton. In the 1910 map, this house is shown, belonging to William J. Barton.
