Nathaniel Hooper, successful Marblehead merchant, built a house that was later inherited, at his death in 1760, by his eldest son Robert<\/a>. In 1761, Robert married Mary (Polly) Ingalls<\/a>, his next door neighbor. Purchasing the adjacent plot of land from his father-in-law, Robert Hooper expanded his father’s small home into a much larger Georgian-style mansion, known today as the Hooper-Parker House<\/a> and located at 181 Washington Street. After Robert’s death in 1815, his oldest son, also named Robert, inherited the house and lived there with his wife<\/a>, Mary Glover, daughter of Capt. John Glover<\/a>. Mary Glover Hooper was famed as a hostess, entertaining such guests as George Washington and General<\/a> Lafayette<\/a>. After Robert’s death in 1843, the house passed to his brother Henry and was later sold to merchant Robert Bridge<\/a>, who sold it to Rev. Robert B. Parker, Rector of St. Michael’s Episcopal Church<\/a> from 1922 to 1925<\/a>. Rev. Parker’s wife Sarah left the house to the SPNEA<\/a>, which eventually sold the house to a private owner in 1960.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
