Further researchScope and Content
Constructed ca. 1840s. The site of 17 Meeting Street was formerly part of the grounds of a Georgian mansion, built in the 1770s at 15 Meeting Street. The old hand-made, oversized brick in the foundation of the outbuilding, behind the main house at 17 Meeting Street, indicates that its construction dates from the Colonial period. There was a two story brick house on the lot when Samuel Chadwick purchased the property from the heirs of John Gadsden in 1831. Chadwick was a prosperous merchant in the maritime trade. He replaced the older house with the present three story masonry house sometime before 1849, when he sold the property to Benjamin Dart Roper, Jr. (FOHG tour script, HCF, 2015).
