Dale, Eben B.
Eben B. Dale purchased the house named Steepbank around 1858. Steepbank was near Fresh Water Cove which, in Lane's time, served as a summer estate for brothers Eben and Theron Dale. Two of Lane's drawings, Gloucester from Steepbank and Across Gloucester Outer Harbor from Steepbank, were made there.
The location of Eben Dale's house on Middle Street can be seen on the map attached.

This map is especially helpful in showing the wharves of the inner harbor at the foot of Washington Street.
