LEE MANSION. The stately mansion on Wash-
ington Street, nearly opposite Mason Street, was
built in 1768, and occupied by Col. Jeremiah
Lee, a wealthy merchant. It was one of the lar-
gest and
most costly in the Colony, built of
materials brought from England. Here Washington
was entertained on the occasion of his memorable
visit to Marblehead. Lafayette was here twice an
honored guest, and Andrew Jackson was a visitor
and here tendered a notable reception. The Lee
Mansion is now owned and occupied by the Mar-
behead Historical Society.
