The Puritan House is a historic hotel building at 3 Washington Street and 2 Main Street in Gloucester, Massachusetts. It was the first brick building to be built in the city. It was built in 1810 form James Tappan, a schoolteacher from New Hampshire who once had Daniel Webster as a student. Tappan operated Tappan's Hotel on the premises, and it served as a major social center for the community. Later owners also operated it as a hotel space, including one who gave it the name "Puritan House". It now houses other businesses.[2]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976,[1] and was included in the Central Gloucester Historic District in 1982.[2]
