Ella Proctor Herrick House

The Ella Proctor Herrick House is a historic house in the rural western part of Gloucester, Massachusetts. The oldest portion of this First Period house was built in the late 17th century; a brick found in the central chimney bears the date 1672. The left side of the ​2 ¹⁄₂-story center-chimney saltbox shows clear evidence of 17th century construction methods, and includes a rare example of a segmentally arched interior door frame. The structure to the right of the chimney was added in the 18th century, and there were some early 20th-century additions. The central chimney is also a 20th-century replacement.[2]
