In 1898, Henry Benson, a prominent textile manufacturer, built the impressive gambrel-roofed Colonial Revival home at 7 Hamilton Street. That same year, he became Salem’s first owner of an electric vehicle, which he stored in the carriage house behind the main residence. Designed by his architect brother, John Benson, the home was filled with Impressionist works by his celebrated artist brother, Frank Benson. Today, this beautifully restored landmark has been thoughtfully converted into four condominiums. With 1,750 square feet on two levels, unit 3 features corner living & dining rooms, eat-in kitchen with lovely views of Hamilton St, and a deck overlooking the garden and neighboring 18th and 19th century homes. Upstairs are 2 bedrooms, another full bath, and an open office or den. Nestled in the McIntire District, one of the most architecturally significant neighborhoods in New England and minutes from the Salem Athenaeum, the PEM, the train station, and the buzz of downtown Salem.
