John Greenleaf Whittier House

The John Greenleaf Whittier Home is a historic house located at 86 Friend Street, Amesbury, Massachusetts. It was the home of American poet and abolitionist John Greenleaf Whittier from 1836 until his death in 1892, and is now a nonprofit museum open to the public May 1 through October 31; an admission fee is charged. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1962, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1966.
==History==
The John Greenleaf Whittier House was built in 1811. At that time it was a 1.5 story wood frame Cape style cottage, with four rooms on the ground floor and one in the attic. A kitchen ell and shed were added to the back. The house was purchased by Whittier in 1836 to provide accommodation for himself as well as his mother, aunt, and sister Eliza.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NRHP nomination for John Greenleaf Whittier House )〕 He lived here until his death in 1892.〔Danilov, Victor J. ''Famous Americans: A Directory of Museums, Historic Sites, and Memorials''. Lanham, MD: Scarecrow Press, 2013: 202. ISBN 978-0-8108-9185-2〕 Whittier wrote most of his poetry and prose in this house, including his classic ''Snow-Bound'', which he wrote in the Garden Room.
The Whittier family made significant modifications to the house during their 80 years of ownership. Whittier added a bedroom to the southeast corner of the house not long after buying it. In 1847, with the financial assistance of Quaker philanthropist Joseph Sturge, the house was significantly enlarged. The new bedroom was enlarged and converted into a sitting room and study, a porch was added to the east side of the house, and a full second story was added over the eastern half of the house.〔
