The Gen. Gideon Foster House is a historic house at 35 Washington Street in Peabody, Massachusetts. The two story Federal style wood frame house was built in the early 1800s at a location on Main Street. The house was bought in 1815 by Gideon Foster, a local veteran of the American Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. The house was later owned by Eben Sutton, a local textile manufacturer, who sold the house so that it could be moved to make way for a larger house on the same lot.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976,[1] and included in the Washington Street Historic District in 1985. It is the current home of the Peabody Historical Society, which acquired the property in 1916.[2]
