SWAMPSCOTT — Historical advocates recently established a nonprofit group to accept donations for the preservation of the 293-year-old General Glover Farmhouse that’s at risk of demolition due to tentative plans to create housing.
The recently formed organization Save the Glover! plans to raise $1.5 million to $2 million to save the farmhouse that’s architecturally one of the oldest houses in Swampscott, and one of the few surviving in town that was built in the 1700s.
