J. T. Abbot House
The J. T. Abbot House is a historic house at 34 Essex Street in Andover, Massachusetts. The Gothic Revival house was built in the late 1840s for Joseph Thompson Abbot by Jacob Chickering, a leading local real estate developer and builder of the mid 19th century. The ornamental detailing is among the most elaborate of the time in the town.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=MACRIS inventory record for JT Abbot House )〕 The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.〔
==Description and history==
The Abbot House is set on the south side of Essex Street, a through street lined by a mix of commercial and residential buildings, not far from the center of Andover, Massachusetts. The house is a 1-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a steeply-pitched front gable roof and two side-facing cross gables on its main block, and another two on an addition that extends to the rear. The side-facing gables of the main block, along with its main gable, are ornamented with jigsawn bargeboard trim. The main gable has a short lancet-arched window at the attic level. The front facade is two bays wide, with a projecting polygonal bay window in the left bay and the front door in the right bay, sheltered by a portico. Both the portico and bay window are topped by scroll-sawn decorative woodwork.〔
The land on which the house stands was purchased by Jacob Chickering, one of Andover's leading mid-19th century developers, in 1844. Chickering sold the lot, with the house on it, in 1850 to Joseph Thompson Abbot. In 1878 Chickering was contracted to construct a picket fence for the property. The house has had a number of owners, and may have been rented by the local Baptist church as a parsonage for a time.〔 It presently houses a law office.
