The home of a witch trial judge

 

Correct!

The Witch House is the only structure still standing in Salem with direct ties to the Salem witch trials of 1692, thought to be built between 1620 and 1642. It was the home of Judge Jonathan Corwin.

 When reports of witchcraft began circulating in Essex County, Corwin was one of the magistrates called on to make preliminary inquiries into the reports. He and John Hathorne, another local magistrate, held hearings in early March 1692 in which testimony was gathered from Tituba, Sarah Good, and Sarah Osborne, the first three women accused of being witches.

Speaking of witch trial judges...  Nathaniel Hawthorne, the famous author of  The Scarlet Letter and House of the Seven Gables, was the great-great-grandson of Judge John Hathorne, 

Nathaniel added a “w” to his last name to disassociate himself from this infamous figure.
