The Ebenezer Hancock House is now available for acquisition for the first time in generations.
Owned by John Hancock, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, this is the last extant property associated with the founding father in Boston. This Boston Landmark resides on the National Registry of Historic Places and is reportedly the site where Ebenezer Hancock, Deputy Paymaster of the Continental Army and John Hancock’s younger brother, stored 2 million silver crowns, loaned by the French Government, prior to disbursement to the troops.
The building consists of 3 stories, with many of the Later Georgian interior details still intact, and remains the only vernacular structure dating to the mid 1700’s to survive in central Boston. Currently in use as a law office, the original structure was expanded in the 1970’s. A fixture on Boston’s iconic Freedom Trail, the property is minutes from City Hall, Faneuil Hall, North Station, the Haymarket and Government Center T stops, and is a short walk across the Greenway to the North End, the Waterfront, and the Boston Harbor commuter ferry services."
