This exterior view shows the Jonathan Corwin House, also known as the Witch House, at 310 1/2 Essex Street in Salem, Massachusetts. Jonathan Corwin served as a magistrate and judge during the Salem Witch Trials of 1692. Corwin's grandson's widow remodeled the house with a gambrel roof in 1746 and George P. Farrington added a single-floor apothecary shop around 1856, which Jesse F. Upton and Frank H. Frisbee bought and operated from 1895 to 1940.
