Dodge house at Greenwood Farm, Argilla Rd., Ipswich MA

47 Jeffreys Neck Rd., the Dodge House, Greenwood Farm (1870)

The house became part of Greenwood Farm, an early 20th-century summer retreat for the Robert G. Dodge family, and sits on the same property as the 1694 Paine-Dodge house, owned by the Trustees of Reservations. Three generations of the Paine family made their home on this saltwater farm, including Robert Paine, foreman of the Salem witch trial jury in 1692. From 1916, Greenwood Farm was a summer retreat for the Robert G. Dodge family, who used the Paine House as a guesthouse.
