This building was originally a house built in 1721 by a prominent citizen of Salem named Alexander Grant. It is now used as a museum and library by the Salem County Historical Society. The museum has items in its collections from the Revolutionary War era, including Colonel Holme's clock described in the Holmeland entry above.

Behind the museum, there is a small brick building known as the John Jones Law Office that dates to circa 1736. Originally a law office, it was later used as an office by Dr. Ebenezer Howell, who served as a Major in the Revolutionary War. Howell was one of seventeen Salem residents specifically threatened in the letter by British Colonel Mawhood during the Salem occupation. His office building was then vandalized and partially burned by the British.

The small building originally stood near Broadway and Market St. It was moved to the garden behind the Alexander Grant House in 1967. Another Salem property connected with Dr. Howell is shown in the next entry.
