A double house with an unusual layout, the White-Silsbee/Hodges-Mott House is at 33-35 Washington Square North in Salem, between Oliver and Winter Streets. The section on the west, or left, side was built first, c.1811, by Joshua Upham for Joseph White, Jr., whose brother Stephen lived next door. The house was sold by Joseph’s widow, Eliza, to the Silsbee family, whom owned it until 1880. The attached house on the east, or right, side was built c. 1840 for the Misses Hannah and Betsy Hodges and was purchased by John N. Mott in 1871. Both halves of the house were later owned by the Clark family in the twentieth century.
