George Peabody's birthplace and house, Peabody, MA, vintage silver print glossy 8 x 10 inch photograph.

George Peabody (February 18, 1795 – November 4, 1869), American-British financier and philanthropist who founded the Peabody Trust in Britain and the Peabody Institute and George Peabody Library in Baltimore, and was responsible for many other charitable initiatives.

Peabody was born in 1795 what was then South Danvers (now Peabody), Massachusetts. His family had Puritan ancestors in the state, but were poor. As one of 7 children, George suffered some deprivations during his childhood. These factors influenced his later devotion to both thrift, and philanthropy. His birthplace at 205 Washington Street in the City of Peabody is now operated and preserved as the George Peabody House Museum, a museum dedicated to interpreting his life and legacy.

Printed in the second half of the 20th century as part of the American Heritage Publishing Archive.
