The Pickering House is a First Period Colonial house at 18 Broad Street, in Salem, Massachusetts' McIntire Historic District. Located in downtown Salem between Cambridge & Summer Street. Ten successive generations of the Pickering family including Colonel Timothy Pickering have owned and lived in this grand home. This house is believed to have been the oldest house in the United States continuously occupied by one family. However, in 1998, the Goodhue family moved into the house, with Albert Goodhue as the primary caretaker. It is located at 18 Broad Street, Salem, Massachusetts and is open to the public under the auspices of the nonprofit Pickering Foundation. Across the street is the Broad Street Cemetery, one of the three oldest in Salem.
