The Heard-Lakeman House is a historic house at 2 Turkey Shore Road in Ipswich, Massachusetts. Nathaniel and John Heard built this -story wood-frame house in 1776 for Nathaniel to live in. He sold it in 1795 to Richard Lakeman III, member of a seafaring family. The house is notable for an extremely large chimney with an arched foundation over 11feet long, which supports two large fireplaces. The building was a notable object of restoration during the Colonial Revival in the 1920s.[1]
The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, and is subject to local preservation restrictions.[1]
