Crowninshield–Bentley House

It is now owned by the Peabody Essex Museum and open for public tours from June to October.

The house was originally built for sea captain John Crowninshield at a site on 106 Essex Street.

It is a symmetrical five-bay structure, clapboarded, two stories tall, with three small dormers through the roof, and a central entry door.

Compare it with the architecture of the Ropes Mansion and the Peirce-Nichols House, also in Salem, and also owned by the Peabody Essex Museum.

Its main historical interest centers upon Reverend William Bentley, a boarder from 1791 to 1819.
