Manchester-by-the-Sea, Massachusetts
(The Maritime Trail)
The Manchester Village Historic District, in Manchester, is 39 acres in size, located on Route 127 in the center of
town, in a rough arc around the head of the town's harbor. The buildings in the District represent an excellent
sampling of virtually every major type of vernacular architecture from the 17th to the early 20th Century. Forster
Cemetery, the Tappan Cemetery and the 1661 Cemetery, and also the Manchester Common, are the Village's main
sites. Also included is the Trask House, home of the Manchester Historical Society.
The District has 26 surviving Colonial and Georgian houses. Of the remaining houses, that of Dr. Joseph Whipple,
built ca. 1765 at 8 Washington Street, remains the purest example of the Manchester version of "high style" Georgian
architecture.
Prosperity in 1-800-1812 fueled the rise of a monied class, and the town's appearance, particularly in the downtown
area, was transformed by the construction of fine new houses. The Federal-style house built in 1804 for Israel
Forster, a shoreman, is an excellent example of what money and taste could create in Manchester.
