Isaac Goodale House is a historic house at 153 Argilla Road in Ipswich, Massachusetts. The house was built ca. 1700 and has many First Period elements, including a prominent central chimney, steep pitched roof, unpainted clapboards and trim, diamond-shaped lead-paned casement windows,[2] and board and batten doors. Before the house was transported from its original location in Salem to Ipswich in 1928, “a few of the home’s original 17th-century narrow casement windows with diamond-shaped leaded panes [were located] in the basement. [The Goodale family] restored the windows and had replicas commissioned for the rest of the house.“ [2] It is 3,421 square feet, with 5 fireplaces, 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and is located on a 41 acre woodland property that borders salt marsh on one side and an apple orchard on another.[3]
It was built in c. 1668 by Robert Goodale of Salem for his son Isaac upon Isaac's marriage in 1668. Originally located in Salem, Massachusetts, the house was moved to Ipswich by a Goodale family member in 1928. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. It was rented by the Peterson family from 1997 to 2007. Then, after 340 years of almost continuous family ownership, the house and 41 acres (17 ha) of land went up for sale with an asking price of $1.39 million. It was bought in 2010 by the Duffield family.[3][4]
Once thought to date to the 1660s, the house contains no elements that would indicate a date of construction before 1690.[chronology citation needed] In 1986 the house was surveyed by architectural historian Anne Grady, the report for which is available for download via the Massachusetts Cultural Resource Information System. The report indicates a construction date of ca. 1690-1700.[5][full citation needed]
