Phips house is number 41 in this 1725 painting of the north end of Boston by William Burgis. Phipps House and lot appears on a 1750 map of Boston on Charter Street in the North End of Boston, next to the Burying Ground. The lot extends back to Hull Street, and takes up the whole corner of Salem and Charter Streets, taking up half of the block of Charter Street.  Around the corner from it on Salem Street is Christ Church.
 

This 1750 map of Boston shows an outline of the Phips property on Charter Street highlighted in yellow in the upper left corner across from Christ church.  As can be seen it was a large property.
The other property on the block is Copps Hill burial ground.
