The Parson Capen House is a historic house in Topsfield, Massachusetts that was built in the late 17th century. It has drawn attention as an example of early colonial architecture and due to its well preserved condition compared to other houses built at that time. ==History== The Capen house was built on a lot in 1683 as the parsonage for the local Congregational Church.〔 It is located at what is now 1 Howlett Street, next to the Topsfield Common. It was first owned by the Reverend Joseph Capen, who had moved to Topsfield from Dorchester. His wife had seen the previous parsonage and was disappointed in by its condition.〔 The family lived there for over forty years.〔 At the time that it was built, it was considered to be the best house in the town.〔 The house was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1960.〔Patricia Heintzelman and Charles Snell (1975) (National Register of Historic Places Inventory-Nomination: Parson Capen House ), National Park Service and (''Accompanying seven photos, exterior and interior, from 1967 and 1975'' )〕〔 It is one of the best preserved homes from its period in New England.
