With 300 years of history, 80 Front Street is intimately tied to US Independence and allegedly, George Washington himself once walked the same wide pine floors that still exist in the home. In 1770, John Twisdon and his wife purchased this home. Twisdon also owned a fishing schooner by the name of Hawk, which was fitted out for naval service and re-named the USS Warren. The USS Warren was used by General Washington to intercept British supply ships bound for Boston.
Perhaps Washington and Twisdon looked out at Hawk in Marblehead Harbor from one of the many windows that provide the owner unencumbered views of the boats in the harbor...
