The Witch House (Jonathan Corwin House)
Historic House
Built around 1675, this is the only structure still standing with direct ties to the 1692 witch trials. Judge Jonathan Corwin conducted preliminary examinations of accused witches here. While predating the Revolution, the house illustrates the continuity of Salem's built environment into the 18th century.
