The Rindge-Lord house at 59 East Street in Ipswich is a one-room-deep Georgian home at the corner created by the intersection of Water Street and East Street. Thomas Franklin Waters recorded that Daniel Rindge built the house in 1719, which would be more appropriate for its early “I-frame” type of construction:
“Capt. Samuel York …sold two small lots fronting on East St…one to Daniel Rindge, Oct. 16, 1719 (36:201) Daniel Ringe built a house on the lot he bought of Capt. York. He sold to John Holland, Nov. 6, 1742 (126: 235). William Dodge levied an execution on the property and gained possession, Nov. 19, 1760 (109: 137). Mr. Dodge owned it in 1773, but in 1778, it was owned by Capt. Benjamin Davis. Aaron P. Lord acquired it and sold to Ebenezer Cogswell, May 19, 1842 (343: 284). Mr. Cogswell sold to Caleb Stevens, May 15, 1844 (345: 115). Later it was the property of Capt. Nathaniel Scott, and finally, of Mr. John T. Sherburne.
The 1832 map shows this house owned by A. P. Lord. The 1856 map shows the owner as T. Scott. The 1872 map shows the owner as Sherwood or Sherburne.
