House of the Seven Gables

The House of the Seven Gables is a very unique house that was built in the year of 1668 in Salem, Massachusetts. This was a very hectic time in history because of the events happening in this one village of people. But the House of the Seven Gables was constructed by the man of Captain John Turner, whose family owned it first. It was a very unique house because of it's structure doing the time and the size of it made it even more of an eye-catcher. The architecture was not an original American piece... so this shows the big influence that foreigners had on the United States at the time and still do. The house must have been well built since it has lasted till this day even though it is taking some remodeling today.

Nathaniel Hawthorne was a descendant of the family that was cursed by the lady that originally owned the huge house. He wrote about how the curse came to be and how the experiences his family had to put up with. He was able to witness house and how huge it really was and the history to it all.

This house was a very valuable piece in this village because of how big it was and all the things that would happen within it. But the village that it was in has a deep and long history behind it all. The Salem witch trials in 1692 is a very notorious time back in our time when all chaos just let loose. The story behind it all was that a group of horrific little girls pointing out people they believe were witches and the court hanging them for this matter. Turns out the kids that were pointing out people weren't so true and ended up being role models in the community.
