Photographs of Hull, Massachusetts in 2008
By Andrew Buckley

Thanks to Andrew Buckley, here are some photographs both of Hull's coast and the location of Haswell's original home where he grew up before the Revolutionary War. The building that stands there now (Hull Public Library) is not the original building but is a nineteenth century remodel. The actual plot of land, however, is the same and there is a photo of the memorial headstone to the unknown British Marine buried by Robert Haswell and his family during the war.

An unconfirmed report is that Haswell's house was called "the Parsonage" and was demolished by the poet John Boyle O'Reilly who then rebuilt the residence to what is seen today in 1890.
