Dockside Pub hosts second “Save the Glover” fundraiser

The Swampscott Historical Commission and Glover’s Marblehead Regiment hosted their second “Save the Glover” fundraiser at the Dockside Pub titled “Eat, Drink, and Save the Glover.”

Customers were invited to donate 20% of their bill to the cause of preserving the historic home on Salem Street Monday night. The first fundraiser took place at Mexicali Cantina Grill on Jan. 14, and Historical Commission Chair Nancy Schultz expressed satisfaction with the combined output of both events.

“Between the two of them, it’s close to $1,000,” Schultz said.

She added that both restaurants were very generous in “rounding up” the percentage of the profits that were going to the movement.

Dockside owner Andrew Ingemi expressed the eagerness he had to use his business as a tool to assist in the preservation of the Glover House.

“I feel as a business owner in the community it’s up to us and everyone to preserve what history we have in the area,” Ingemi said.

Schultz emphasized that she and her peers plan on continuing this fundraising model but are also considering incorporating events in which tickets are sold in advance.

A demolition request was sent and approved by both Marblehead and Swampscott earlier this year to replace the house once owned by the Revolutionary War figure with a new 140-unit housing complex called “Glover Residences.” Schultz was then notified due to the property’s historical background. The Commission was able to impose a nine-month demolition delay in April 2023. The delay was scheduled to expire in January. However, a recent agreement between the town and property developer Leggat McCall was reached in which Leggat McCall guaranteed they would not do any work on the property until June 30, allowing Schultz and her peers to seek the community’s financial assistance to help maximize the chance of the home being preserved properly. Swampscott Historical Society President Molly Conner is also a driving force behind the Glover preservation effort and emphasized the organization’s urgency to raise money between now and the end of June.

“It’s a way for people to help out in a cause that they believe in,” Conner said. “We’re going to try and do as many as we can.”
