Steeped in history dating back to the early 1800's, The John Howland Swain House, 21 India Street's original owner, is located in that area originally described as “The Third Squadron of Wesco Acre Lots” at a place commonly known by the name of Micah's Pond. India Row, as it was called back then, later renamed Pearl Street, and still later changed back to India Street, was once largely occupied by wealthier families, many of whom derived much of their profit from East India Trade, as well as from whaling. The home has ample room for expansion, including approximately 885+/- sq. ft. of ground cover available and awaits a new owner to restore, renovate and add to the legacy of this unique property.
