John Tucker Daland was one of Salem’s most successful merchants. He was apprenticed in the counting house of Captain Joseph Peabody and was very involved in the East India trade and owned or partly owned at least nineteen sailing vessels. He married first in 1818, and his wife died in 1820. He married again in 1823. In his obituary, he was praised for being punctual in his obligations and honorable in his settlements. He had his portrait painted by Charles Osgood. When he had his home built on Essex Street, he hired architect Gridley J. F. Bryant, who designed in the Italianate architectural style. The home later became part of the Essex Institute.
