Eagle House, hotel, 25 Main Street, during removal of Osgood House, Haverhill. View of the front and right sides. Currier Block on the left, the Dr. Peter Osgood House on the right, raised on its foundation with front yard excavated. Horses and wagons, carriages, in front on the street. Main building is five stories, four story building in the rear. Round portico, turret window, balconies on the third and fourth floors. The eagle ornament above the windows on the fifth floor was carved by a man named Hobbs who lived in Lawrence, MA. Trolley tracks in the street. Eagle House was built ca. 1800 for merchant James Duncan, Jr. An article circa 1911 states the house was converted to a hotel by Col. William Brown, some years after the death of James Duncan, Jr., in 1822; other sources give the date as 1819. At this time 75 additional rooms were added. Rebuilt in 1852, designed by Albert C. Heath. Photo by Thomas Bailey, late 19th or early 20th century. See print HF3 Senter HPH 34-462C. |
