Summary
Three black and white photographs, horizontal and vertical images, of the house and tree
Biographical or historical data
The Bodwell House was built in Lawrence, Mass., in the first decade of the 18th century by members of the Bodwell family at what is now the southeast corner of East Haverhill and Elm Streets. A tree, later known as the Bodwell elm, was supposedly planted at the birth of Henry Bodwell, III, in 1729 and in the 1920s the tree was 150 feet high with a trunk of 15 ft. in circumference. The Lawrence Tribune saved the house once in 1921 but in the 1950s both the house and tree came down. Wood from the mantle is carved to look like the house and is on display on the 2nd floor of Lawrence Public Library. There are also postcards of the house in the Library's postcard collection and another image in the Artwork of Lawrence collection.
