Ebenezer Hancock House
A Designated Boston Landmark
The Ebenezer Hancock House, built in 1767, is the only remaining house in Boston associated with John Hancock. He owned the house but it was lived in by his brother Ebenezer, who was Deputy Paymaster General of the Continental Army.
This is one of the few downtown residences surviving from the late 18th century. From 1798 to 1963 the country’s oldest continuously run shoe store occupied the building’s first floor.
Marker is at the intersection of Marshall Street and Creek Square, on the right when traveling north on Marshall Street.
