SIGNIFICANCE The Peter Woodbury house retains integrity of location, materials, design, and workmanship in its surviving First-Period single-cell core under criterion C.
Removal of the boxing on the ground floor is likely to reveal the rest of the decorated frame which will yield important information on late seventeenth century decoration under criterion D. The paired transverse summer beams represent regional framing variation worthy of further study. The raised cove stops with pips are a particularly rare chamfer stop type found mainly in Essex county and worthy of preservation. The present configuration of the house is a good example of how First-Period single-cell houses grew in subsequent generations. Mouee gen in EXTERIOR DESCRIPTION The Peter Woodbury House is a two-and-a-half story clapboarded struc- ture with an asymmetrical facade and two central chimneys, one pro- truding from each slope of the present roof. The First-Period core was a single-cell, two-and-a-half story house.
The room left of the chimney, the rear lean-to (later raised to - full height) and rear chimney were added in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. MAJOR FIRST-PERIOD FEATURES The single-cell First-Period core to the right of the chimney exhi- bits the paired transverse summer beams on molded posts typical of the Beverly-Salem-Danvers-Peabody region. Visible First-Period fea- tures on the second floor include elaborate stops and tend to confirm the c. 1696-7 date. All framing members in the 17'6" x 19'6" first- floor room, including the paired transverse summer beams, are boxed. The fireplaces are rebuilt and the walls are plastered. In a later rear stairwell leading to the cellar, the original rear wall of the first-floor room, with sill, brace, and brick nogging are visible. The second-floor chamber has exposed paired summer tie beams resting on story posts with molded heads.
Both summers and posts have bevel chamfers with raised cove stops and pips. Although the roof and attic have been completely rebuilt to cover the Second-Period rear additions, the rear of the original right end-wall tie beam shows evidence of an original roof pitch of 45 degrees. -1- Staple to Inventory form at botton INVENTORY FORM CONTINUATION SHEET MASSACHUSETTS HISTORICAL COMMISSION Office of the Secretary, Boston Commmity : BEVERLY Form No: 5 Peter Property Name: Woodbury House Indicate each item on inventory form which is being continued below. HISTORICAL INFORMATION The house is associated with Peter Woodbury Jr., a deacon and active participant in town affairs. His son, Peter III, at age seventy-five responded to the alarm on April 19th, 1775 and marched to Concord, the exertion of which caused his death a month later.
The house probably reached its present form under the ownership of these two prominent figures. -2- Staple to Inventory form at bottom NPS Form 10-800e (8-86) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section number Page OMB Appravel No 1024-0018 1/24/50 Multiple Resource Area Thematic Group Name First Period Buildings of Eastern Massachusetts TR State Nomination/Type of Review 81.
