The Whittemore House is a First Period house in Gloucester, Massachusetts, built around 1700, based on an analysis of its framing and construction methods. It is a two-story wood-frame building with a two-story shed-style addition on the rear, and a single story addition on the right side. When first built, it consisted of two rooms with a chimney on the right; two more rooms were added in the First Period to the right of the chimney, nearly centering it in the house. The original chimney has since been removed.[2]
