Additional Details:
From Town House Square the visitor may turn down Essex Street. On the northeast corner of the square stood until 1792 a tavern kept by Widow Margaret Pratt, a famous many gabled hostelry. Built on land originally owned by the regicide, Rev. Hugh Peter. Just beyond, at 218 Essex Street, was the homestead of Father John Woodbury, one of the old planters.
