722 Elm St., Wiggins House
| Description: |
On slide mount: 722 Elm St., FP, c. 1873 Yes Wiggins House722 Elm Streetc. 1873Mary E. Wiggins bought this property from Sarah Miller in 1873. Wiggins moved into the house shortly afterward. It is possible that the house may have been built several years earlier. Apparently Mrs. Wiggins was soon married to Ziba Burnworth, a blacksmith with Cheseldine and Burnworth. The Burnworths lived in the house until 1885 when they sold it to Mortimer and Ellen Sullivan. He was partner in Reardon & Sullivan and sold cigars in the State House. In 1892 the Sullivans sold the house to Mary Wren, the widow of John Wren.This house is virtually identical to numerous other cottages in the district and in other nineteenth century neighborhoods in the city. Very probably these cottages had details similar/identical to 730 Elm Street, with a porch similar to 738 Elm Street. single-family dwelling |
