8 ½ Daniels St
Built c. 1915
for Joseph Kowalski, farmer
and his wife, Julianna
Researched and written by Dan Graham
May 2022
�Image taken from property record card for 8 ½ Daniels Street on Patriot Properties website.
�According to the Massachusetts Historical Commission, what is now Daniels Street was
in existence as early as 1661, and by the mid-1700s was known as Daniels Lane, and later
Daniels Street. By the late 1700s, both Palfrey’s and Fogg’s Wharves were located at the foot of
Daniels Street, making the street busy with activities connected with the sea.
The history of 8 ½ Daniels is entrenched in the history of 6/8 Daniels Street, for which a
Historic Salem report exists. See also the MACRIS report for 6/8 Daniels Street (SAL.2584).
According to city atlases and directories, 6 Daniels and 8 Daniels were partitioned as separate
addresses for most of their lifetimes, with 8 ½ Daniels emerging in the early 1900s as part of the
same deed history. The first appearance of 8 ½ Daniels is on the 1906-1938 atlas, which
identifies the structure as “FLATS.” That being said, the 1911 atlas does not show the structure.
Based on the research conducted as part of this report, the structure’s likely construction
occurred in or immediately prior to 1917, given that this was the first year in which residents
were identified as occupying the building. The property record cards for 8 ½ Daniels Street on
Patriot Properties suggest 1915 as the year of construction. In the deed history, the property
does not appear as its own parcel of land until Book 4930 Page 152 (dated June 12, 1962).
Wilfred and Lionel R. Pelletier partitioned the land after receiving it from the Kowalski family,
its original owners. A survey of the land is included as part of the deed history below.
In terms of the structure itself, local architectural historian Vijay Joyce contributed the
following description:
8 ½ Daniels Streets is a typical early 20th century vernacular multi-family home, known
colloquially as a ‘triple-decker,’ commonly found in New England. Resting atop a
fieldstone foundation is an all-wood structure of three floors tall, nearly identical as
�evidenced by the order and layout of the windows, capped by a flat roof. The cornice is
detailed with pairs of wood brackets, evenly spaced on each face above a continuous
dentil molding; a typical detail for the style. The roof overhang is shallow at all points
except for a deep overhang on the northern side supported by a simple wood bracket,
set at an angle, providing shelter for the front entryway that is facing East toward
Daniels St. The siding is wood clapboard with wood corner boards. The Northern rear
face has three covered decks stacked upon one another, supported with square posts
and a square-balustered railing system.
Like 6/8 Daniels Street, 8 ½ Daniels was home to various tenants, many of them Polish
immigrants. Attracted to job opportunities in the city’s mills and factories, Polish immigrants
began arriving in Salem en masse around 1890, accounting for about 8% of the city’s overall
population by 1911. Religion played a strong role in the Polish community and as the number of
Polish Catholics in Salem grew, the need for a permanent house of worship became apparent.
Nearby Herbert Street and Union Street became the heart of the Polish Catholic presence in the
city, after the opening of St. John the Baptist Church, a parochial school, convent, and rectory.
The new church catalyzed the settlement of Polish immigrants in the neighborhood and
multiple single-family homes were converted or replaced with multi-family tenements to house
the growing population. Indeed 8 ½ Daniels Street seems to have been constructed exclusively
for this purpose. The Derby Street neighborhood became a tight knit hub of all Polish activities
with multiple shops, restaurants, and social clubs in the area catering to Poles from all regions
and religions. Even the House of the Seven Gables (the namesake of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s
1851 novel) played a crucial role in this community. Caroline Emmerton opened the museum in
�1910 to support her adjacent settlement house, which provided classes and workshops to the
local immigrant community, a role the museum still upholds to this day.
Closer to 8 ½ Daniels, the Polish American Citizens Club (PACC) moved its headquarters
across the street to 9 Daniels in 1928 (see MACRIS SAL.2619). Founded in 1916 – right around
the time of 8 ½ Daniels’ construction – the PACC grew out of efforts to promote citizenship and
naturalization among Salem’s Polish immigrants, a project that was strongly supported by the
St. Joseph Society and community leaders such as Teofil Bartnicki, Felix Rybicki, and Wladyslaw
Sobocinski (who lived on Daniels and likely had relatives at 6/8 Daniels in the early 1900s). The
building has remained part of the community, later becoming (and remaining) the home of the
local Polish Legion of American Veterans post, which had originally used the old firehouse at
128 Derby Street as its meeting place.
The first owners of 8 ½ Daniels Street were Joseph (b. 1870, Poland; d. 1948, Danvers)
and Julianna Kowalski (nee Robierska; her parents were Annie and John) (b. 1876, Poland; d.
1953, Salem). The couple were married on August 31, 1895 in Salem. They had at least five
children: Edmund (1903-1985); John (b. 1904); Stasia (b. 1909; also identified as Clara S.);
William (b. 1912); and Albert (b. 1914). William and Albert were executors of Julianna’s will and,
in 1955, sold the Daniels Street properties to Wilfred and Lionel R. Pelletier. According to the
1910 Census, Joseph and Julianna Kowalski obtained U.S. citizenship in 1890 and 1892,
respectively, though other years were reported in other census accounts. Joseph’s profession in
1910 and other census data was identified as “farmer.” By this year, Julianna had given birth to
ten children with five having survived. While the family owned the Daniel Street properties, the
1910 and 1920 Censuses show them living on Tedesco Street in Marblehead. City directories
�throughout the 1920s have the Kowalski family living at 8 ½ Daniels, however; and the 1930
Census lists them at 6-R Daniels. While the 8 ½ address does not show up in the 1930 Census, it
is very likely that 6-R and 8 ½ were used somewhat interchangeably given that two other
families – the Dancausses and Jastrzembskis – were also said to be residing at 6-R according to
the 1930 Census while featuring at 8 ½ in city directories from 1917 through the 1930s.
Though Joseph was identified as a “farmer” in nearly all censuses consulted in this
research, the 1926 Salem Directory associates him with Derby Shoe Manufacturing Co. Inc. at
51 Canal Street. This site was home to two shoe manufacturers – E. S. Woodbury Company and
J. T. Hopkins’ Sons (established in 1882), the latter of which specialized in fine women’s and
misses’ shoes. His sons were identified as shoeworkers for each of the available city directories
from the 1920s.
Significantly, Joseph Kowalski and Wladyslaw Jastrzembski were involved in early efforts
by Polish immigrants to create a mutual benefit association around the turn of the century in
1897. According to In the Heart of Polish Salem: An Ethnohistorical Study of St. Joseph Hall and
Its Neighborhood, Kowalski (whose name features as “Jozef” rather than the Americanized
“Joseph”) and Jastrzembski were two of seven men who created a Society of Saint Joseph (the
other men were A. S. Kotarski, Farnciszek Luzienski, Jozef Laskowski, Marcin Witos, and
Franciszek Sobocinski). Kowalski served as the Board’s vice president and president in 1899 and
1900, respectively. Freely available online, In the Heart of Polish Salem is worthwhile of further
investigation regarding Polish immigrants in Salem as well as potential ties to the Daniels Street
neighborhood and residents: http://npshistory.com/publications/sama/in-heart-polishsalem.pdf.

BUILDING F O R M (9 Daniels Street)
A R C H I T E C T U R A L DESCRIPTION
Describe architectural features. Evaluate the characteristics of the building in terms of other buildings within the
community.
This early 19th century brick dwelling was converted for use as a Polish social club in the late 1920s. The three-story, flatroofed brick building presents its narrow two-bay facade to the street and was apparently originally nearly identical to the
adjacent building at 7 Daniels Street which sits just a few feet to the north. The brick is laid in a Flemish bond and the
building rests on a stone foundation. With the exception of the first floor windows which have been bricked-in, most of the
windows contain a 1/1 replacement sash and display simple stone sills and splayed lintels. The windows on the third floor are
slightly smaller. On the facade, the height of the building has been raised slightly and the original cornice has been removed.
Extending to the south of the building is a 20th century three-story addition measuring l x l bay and obscuring the original
center entrance. Its detailing echoes that of the original building. The brick on this section is laid in a common brick above a
concrete foundation. The windows have splayed brownstone lintels and concrete sills. The first floor entrance is located on
the west wall of the addition and is fronted by new concrete steps. The original brownstone entablature over the entrance has
been partially obscured by a canopy and the doors have been replaced by modem bronze and glass double doors. At the rear
of the building is a two-story, wood-frame addition which is sheathed in aluminum siding above a concrete foundation. On
the south side, there is a recessed bay which accesses a set of covered stairs.
The building is set directly on the sidewalk just about two feet from the adjacent building at 7 Daniels Street. There is a large
paved parking area to the south of the building.
HISTORICAL N A R R A T I V E
Describe the history of the building. Explain its associations with local (or state) history. Include uses of the building and
the role(s) the owners/occupants played within the community.
What is now Daniels Street was in existence as early as 1661 and by the mid 1700s was known as Daniels Lane, later
Daniels Street. By the late 1700s Bentley states that both Palfrey's and Fogg's Wharves were located at the foot of Daniels
Street, making Daniels Street busy with activities connected with the sea. The houses at 7 and 9 Daniels Street both date to
the early 19th century.
The earliest available directory, that of 1836, indicates that Peirce L. Wiggin was living here at that time. Without deed
research it is not possible to find out whether he was the original owner. Mrs. Wiggin continued to live here as late as 1881.
By 1884 the property had been acquired by William H . Goldsmith, an inspector at the Custom House, who occupied part of
the house and rented out units to two tenants. William Goldsmith and William Hyde are shown as the owners on the 1911
map and in the 1905 and 1910 city valuation records. Goldsmith continued to live here until about 1915. The house was
rented out to a number of tenants over the next 10-15 years. By 1929 the building was being utilized by the Polish American
Citizens Club, which was organized in November 1916 and initially met at 160 Derby Street. By 1970 the present occupant,
the Polish Legion of American Veterans Post 55, was using the building.

Naumkeag Land
Long before the construction of the home now located at 45 Daniels Street, Salem was
inhabited by the Naumkeag tribe, an independent band of the Massachusetts confederacy.
Historian Sydney Perley wrote, “That part of Massachusetts of the Indians lying within what are
now the limits of Essex County was called Naumkeag, which means "Fishing place," from
namaas, fish, ki, place, and age, at.” Reverend John Higginson, an early colonizer of
present-day Salem, recalled, “But ye Indian town of wigwams was on ye north side of ye North
River... both ye north and south side of that river was together called Naumkeke." Disease and
conflict with neighboring tribes had severely weakened the Naumkeag people by the
seventeenth century. The Naumkeag hunted, farmed, and fished on this land for generations
before the English arrived in North America. 1
A mid nineteenth century reproduction of the Naumkeag wigwams. 2
Elizabeth Solomon, a modern member of the Massachusett tribe at Ponkapoag,
remarked in a video for Pioneer Village Salem:
...we hope that you will take time to honor the original holders of this land: the Massachusett people...We
maintain a millennia long relationship with this place. Despite changes to the environment and its occupation

by others following colonization, Salem remains Native space to which we belong. May all that we do with
Native spaces honor the land and prepare the way for those to come.3
Accordingly, every house history of Salem needs to acknowledge the indigenous people who
lived on this land before English arrival. A history of Salem would be incomplete and unjust
otherwise.
The Kenneally Family: From Derby Street to Daniels Street
On February 8, 1911, the Salem City Council minutes noted in the margins a request for
a building to be moved. The request read, “A hearing was ordered for Wednesday, March 1st, at
8.15 P.M. on the petition of William G. Edwards for permit to move a building from 155 Derby
Street to Rear 43 Daniels Street.”4
On March 1, 1911, another entry appeared in the Salem City Council minutes which
stated, “The next matter considered was a hearing on the petition of William G. Edwards to
move a building from 155 Derby Street to Rear 43 Daniels Street[.] Mr. Kenneally spoke in favor
of the petition. No one opposed it and the hearing was closed. The petition was granted.”5
The final reference to the house that would become 45 Daniels Street resolved, “The
following order was adopted: Ordered: That William G. Edwards be granted permission to move
a building from No. 155 Derby Street to rear No. 43 Daniels Street through Derby and Daniels
Street. All to be in conformity to the petition on file and to the advances of the City of Salem and
to the satisfaction of the Commissioner of Streets and the Inspector of Buildings.”6

Thus in 1911, owner Maurice Kenneally, who had spoken before the city council in
March, moved his father Patrick T. Kenneally’s former home from 155 Derby Street to 45
Daniels Street. The house would have been propped up on stilts and rolled over the trolley
tracks on Derby Street down to its current place at the end of Daniels Street. Shown below is a
1937 picture of a house being moved on Derby Street.7 Of note, the house being moved was
almost exactly where the home at 45 Daniels Street would have also been placed in 1911 as it
was being relocated. A red star was added to the picture to indicate 155 Derby Street today,
which was the former location of the house now at 45 Daniels Street.

In 1911, the Atlas of the City of Salem, which was "based on the plans in the office of the
city engineer" showed both a building located at 155 Derby Street and a new building appearing
on Salem maps for the first time: today’s 45 Daniels Street.8 It is unclear if the move had already
taken place when the map was made; yet, undoubtedly, the Salem City Council records
corroborate the evidence that 45 Daniels Street would take its place in Tucker’s Wharf on the
shores of Salem Harbor in 1911.
The map above is from two separate atlas pages. The red lines were added to indicate the likely route of 45 Daniels
Street’s move. The red star indicates its first appearance on any Salem city maps.

The Kenneally Family
When Maurice Kenneally moved the house at 155 Derby Street to the shores of Salem
Harbor at 45 Daniels Street, one has to wonder if he thought about his father and mother,
Patrick and Alice Kenneally. Just four years earlier, on October 23, 1907, his father, a
well-known Salem resident, died in his longtime home of 155 Derby Street after a month-long
battle with what doctors diagnosed as Bright’s disease of the kidney.9 Patrick Kenneally had
joined his bride, Alice Kenneally, who had died in 1884 of consumption, in St. Mary’s Cemetery
in Salem.10 Perhaps when 155 Derby Street finished its move to 45 Daniels Street, Maurice
Kenneally looked across the Atlantic and thought of the journey his parents had made from
Ireland to their final resting place in the city of Salem. Below is a copy of both death records.

By the time of Patrick Kenneally’s death, much had changed about the old
neighborhood. Patrick T. Kenneally had moved to 155 Derby Street, which was then 97 Derby
Street in 1880, as this was the first time that the Salem City Directory had listed his name. The
1880 directory listed Kenneally’s chair repair business at 97½ Derby Street. The author of the
directory, however, used the “house do.” annotation to indicate “house ditto”, meaning Kenneally
likely operated his business from his house or an adjoining room. From 1880 until 1895, the
directory year after year listed Kenneally’s chair business at 97½ Derby Street until the address
became 155 Derby Street.

When Patrick T. Kenneally first moved into his house in 1880, Derby Street and Daniels
Street had been home to many Irish immigrant laborers, who had joined a community that had
once been dominated by maritime commerce. In 1911 when contractors moved what had been
Maurice’s father’s home to its new location, the structure slowly passed Michael Aaronson’s
grocery store and many of Patrick Kenneally’s neighbor’s houses. In the decades following
1880, he must have sensed what had once been a predominantly Irish neighborhood had slowly
transformed into a tight knit Polish community. The new three-family residence that Maurice
Kenneally built in 1911 would take the old house’s place looking across the street from St.
Joseph’s Polish Society.14 When looking at the Salem City Directory in 1881 contrasted with the

While the Kenneally family are not the first residents of the house that would become 45
Daniels Street, they are responsible for its move from 155 Derby Street. In particular, the
business success of Patrick T. Kenneally led to the house’s current location on the water. Patrick
at the age of approximately fourteen years old emigrated from Cork County, Ireland in 1851 by
way of New York City. Between 1845 to 1855, he was one of millions of Irish Americans who
came to the United States while the people of Ireland suffered from the Potato Famine. When
Patrick immigrated to the United States, there was a growing anti-Irish, anti-Catholic political
movement in the country, resulting in the formation of the American Party, more commonly
called the Know-Nothing Party. Only three years after Patrick stepped foot in New York City, this
political party, which had started on the fringe of electoral politics, had won the governorship in
Massachusetts, even carrying Boston and Salem.15 Below is a Know-Nothing Party flag circa
1850.16
Against this political backdrop, Patrick navigated life in his new country. On November
18, 1860, now a young man in his early twenties, Patrick T. Kenneally married Alice Coughlin of
Waterford County, Ireland in Manchester, Massachusetts. A copy of their marriage record is on
the next page.17

In 1872, Patrick would become a naturalized citizen of the United States. His immigration
papers noted that he was entitled to citizenship because he was “then a minor [in 1851] under
the age of eighteen years” and “that during the whole of said term of five years…has behaved
as a man of good moral character, attached to the principles of the Constitution of the United
States.” He also renounced loyalty to “Victoria Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain
and Ireland.”18 The documents are listed on the following two pages.

From foreign residents to eventual Salem citizens, Patrick and Alice Kenneally would live
in the city for much of their lives. Although not always residing on Derby Street, Patrick worked
as a chair repairman for decades while Alice raised their family and kept their household affairs
in order. As early as 1870, the United States Census listed them as residents of Salem. The
census described their daughter Catherine as being at school and their son Maurice as being at
home. Below is an excerpt of this census providing a glimpse into the family life they had
created together.19
In the succeeding decades, Patrick Kenneally’s business success could be measured by
his real estate transactions. There were various deeds signed in his name for property and
mortgages within Salem City Records. When he died in 1907, he left his son, Maurice, an estate
valued at $25,000. While he amassed a small fortune, he continued to live in 155 Derby Street,
a humble dwelling that William Fullum sold to him in 1878 for $620.20

Important to this particular history, on February 18, 1890, Patrick bought land and a large

of a $700 mortgage. Within two years, Patrick paid off the mortgage owed to Arthur Feenan of

In 1900, the United States Census listed the Kenneally family again but this time in 155
Derby Street. This straightforward document provides a glimpse into the evolution of the
Kenneally family during this time. The head of the household, Patrick, was no longer listed as a
chair repairer, and his son Maurice, listed as a teamster, shared the house with his father and
family. As the census indicated, Patrick’s daughter-in-law Margaret Kenneally and Maurice
named their two children Alice and Patrick. These two names may indicate the fondness that
the couple held for Maurice’s parents; Little Alice was named after her grandmother Alice
Coughlin Kenneally who died nine years before her birth, and Patrick for his grandfather.24
While censuses and city directories indicated Patrick Kenneally was a chair repairer,
there are some hints of a more colorful part of his story. In fact, his accomplishments in Salem
had inspired a celebrity following. When he died in 1907, newspapers across the country
published his obituary. Some of these details had appeared in sources already mentioned. For
example, the 1870 Census listed Patrick Kenneally as being blind, and, therefore, unable to
read or write.
This offers an explanation to why Patrick only left his mark on his naturalization papers rather
than his full signature. Additionally, there are some entries in the Salem directories that indicate
Patrick Kenneally had multiple jobs. The Salem Directory in 1903 and 1906 listed him as a
variety store operator at Salem Willows. The 1906 Salem Directory indicated that Patrick’s
refreshment business was located at the end of a busy Fort Avenue near the corner of Island
Avenue.

As noted earlier, Patrick Kenneally’s refreshment business made him a famous man in
Salem. Many knew him as “Blind Pat.” Salem historian Jim McAllister wrote the following about
Patrick Kenneally:
By the turn of the century the Willows amusement park was in full flower. From his tiny stand on the water
side of Hobbs and Eaton's, Patrick Kenneally hawked Spanish double-jointed peanuts to curious visitors.
The sightless vendor was the first in the country to import this exotic item and was long remembered for his
sales cry: "They're double-jointed Spanish peanuts all the way from Barcelona. Try 'em before you buy
'em.'29
Additionally in 1902, the The Oshkosh Northwestern in Wisconsin ran an article about Patrick
Kenneally detailing some of his biography and his business acumen.
Newspapers around the country also published his obituary after he died. They are included on
the next page.

Of all the residents to have lived in the home now located at 45 Daniels Street, Patrick
Kenneally was its most well known. The story of an immigrant from Ireland who entered the
United States, became blind, and built a small peanut empire in Salem captured the imagination
of newspaper writers. Patrick Kenneally bought the property of 155 Derby Street in 1878, and
began selling Spanish peanuts two years later. It was likely this same peanut empire that
ultimately gave him enough capital in 1890 to buy the land where 45 Daniels Street is now
located. In 1903, Patrick T. Kenneally prepared a will leaving all his real estate to his son
Maurice. An excerpt of the 1903 will is on the next page. 32

For Maurice and his wife Margaret, “the eccentric figure” everyone else knew was also a father,
a father-in-law, and a grandfather. In March 1911, four years after his father died, Maurice would
donate a portrait of Father Thebald Mathew to the Temperance Society on Essex Street in
Patrick’s memory.33 Later that year, rather than simply tearing down his father’s home, he would
move it from 155 Derby Street to 45 Daniels Street where it still stands today.
The Deeds: The Durgin and the Fullum Families
The early historical records on the 45 Daniels Street house often contained an
insufficient amount of information needed. Perhaps if there are answers out there, the following
information can be used in future searches. The earliest known evidence of the house dates
back to July 17, 1848. On that day, John Durgin signed an agreement which stated that he
would pay “two hundred dollars in cash, one hundred dollars in four months, with interest, and
five hundred dollars in four months…” This agreement further outlined that “Wheatland shall sell
to said John the lot of land on Derby Street in Salem beginning at the NE corner of the lot and
running SW on said Street thirty three feet on said street, thence at right angle with said street
running SE sixty feet to a stake…” Importantly, the deed noted that in addition to the land being
sold so too would “the buildings thereon.”34 This is likely the earliest reference to the house that
would be located at 45 Daniels Street. From 1848 to 1878 the recorded deeds are nearly
identical in description and measurements. Patrick Kenneally, the last person to buy this land
before the home’s move, purchased “the lot of land lying in said Salem which land is bounded
North on Derby Street about thirty three feet, West on land of Doyle about sixty feet…”35 There
is an 1851 map on the next page showing the Tucker’s Wharf neighborhood when John Durgin
bought the house.36

While it is fairly straightforward to follow the deeds from 1848 to 1878, the history is
complicated for multiple reasons. First, many deeds provide a previous book number and page
number to help trace back recorded land sales. However, there are three deeds in 1848, 1852,
and 1853 that do not extend earlier than 1848. Additionally, the three written records from 1848
to 1853 do not mention one another. Normally when this happens one might be able to trace a
house’s origins by examining the record of the grantor. George Wheatland’s name appeared in
the index books from 1840 to 1844 sixty-nine times. If one were to look outside this window of
years, there would be many more entries. These records can and have been cross-examined
using various pieces of corroborating evidence, yet the key to finding the answer still has not
been found. George Wheatland was a lawyer, which might explain why his name appeared in
the index books so many times. Unfortunately, often his relationship to the land is not clear in
the records, whether he’s working on behalf of the city, another citizen, or himself. Below is an
excerpt of the 1848 agreement. John Durgin’s mark is shown below in the first known record of
sale. This particular record spelled his name Durgin. It is worth noting that records vary on the
spelling of his name. “Durgin” appeared most commonly though and will be used from this point
forward.
All evidence indicates that the 45 Daniels Street house existed earlier than 1848; nevertheless,
the earliest known written record dates back to that year.
The next deed signed in 1852 between John Durgin and George Wheatland seems to
indicate some fulfillment of payment outlined in the 1848 agreement. In this deed though, the
record included one detail that the other deeds do not: John Durgin’s profession. The 1852 deed
�22
stated that Durgin was a “trader.”37 This classification is consistent with other available sources.
Salem directories often referred to Durgin as a “peddler.” One census even referred to him as a
“huckster.”
1853 Deed38
1870 Census39
1874 Salem Directory40
Historian David Jaffee explaining the role of peddlers in nineteenth century America said,
“households and storekeepers were the primary partners in exchange.” He continued, “peddlers
were a secondary means of funneling the limited supply of cheap urban-made goods into the
countryside…”41 Often peddlers would purchase goods from urban consumers and then sell
them to the rural countryside. One cannot say with certainty how John Durgin earned his profits,
yet, because his business was not listed in a physical location in Salem’s directories, one can
surmise that Durgin was an itinerant salesperson. Jaffee further noted that “the peddler
combined the roles of market analyst, entertainer, and trickster-- and always was on the
move.”42 On the next page is a picture of a peddler circa 1910.43

Little more is known about John Durgin’s life. Census records indicated that he and his
wife Mary were from Ireland, and that they likely had five children by 1865: Ann, Thomas, Mary,
Sarah, and Peter.44 By 1870, John and Mary Durgin were still married and living with three of
their much older children: Sarah, Mary, and Thomas.45 There are minor discrepancies between
the sources, but this information seems to be accurate.

While being the primary owner of the land and premises on Derby Street, John and Mary
Durgin lived most of their life on Kosciusko Street, then known simply as Tucker’s Wharf. In
1848 when the Durgans purchased the Derby Street home, Tucker’s Wharf was almost
exclusively home to laborers. An 1851 advertisement provides a small window into the kind of
laborers that would have lived on Tucker’s Wharf.47

With the exception of 1870, Durgin resided elsewhere for most of his life despite owning the
property. By the time Patrick Kenneally lived in the residence, John Durgin’s name appeared in

residence.48 A picture of the old Almshouse is shown on the next page.49

about nineteen hundred and fourteen square, and having a building thereon number
Ninety-Seven (97) on Derby St.” The City of Salem then gave notice on the time and place of
the sale, which was advertised in the paper and on the Stearns Building.52 The longtime resident
of 97 Derby Street, William Fullum, appeared to buy the land and the premises thereon in 1874.
It appeared that the City of Salem transferred the mortgage to Fullum in 1874 but Durgin lost the
land officially in 1875 after failing to pay his sewage bills to the city.53 Unlike Patrick Kenneally
whose death occurred in the home at 45 Daniels Street, John Durgin’s time in the Almshouse
likely indicated his financial struggles at the end of his life.
From as early as 1853, William Fullum appeared in the Salem Directory as the primary
resident of 97 Derby Street.54

Up until 1881, the listing for Fullum’s name and profession remained unchanged. In 1881,
William Fullum’s name appeared alongside Kenneally’s which connected the two families and
their place of residence.55
1881 Salem Directory
Thomas Fullam, William’s son, boarded at 97 Derby St. while Patrick T. Kenneally worked at
97½ Derby Street, and likely lived at 97 Derby Street with his boarders. In the 1882-1883
Salem City Directory Margaret Fullum, William’s widow, appeared in the city directory for the first
time. The directory listed her as a boarder at 97 Derby Street, where she and her husband lived
as early as 1853.56 By 1884, the Salem Directory noted that “Mrs.” William Fullam died on May
12, 1883.57 After Margery Fullam’s death, the Kenneally family appeared as the sole residents of
97 Derby Street.
1882-1883 Salem Directory
1884 Salem Directory
All of this information means that the Fullam family in some form lived at 97 Derby Street
for approximately thirty years. Unfortunately, before 1853 the home appeared to have had a
different number and its earlier residents cannot be confirmed with certainty. Little is known of
William and Margery’s life beyond census and directory records, though these historical
documents do offer some detail into the life they had lived together.
Both William and Margery Fullam immigrated to the United States from Ireland.58 Unlike
Patrick and Alice Kenneally who raised two young teenagers at 97 Derby Street, both William
and Margery moved into the home when they were in their early fifties and had adult children.
Salem’s city directories, year after year, listed William Fullam as a laborer. However, two
documents provide information on what kind of labor William did to support his family. An 1855
state census listed William Fullam as a gardener and an 1860 Federal census listed him as a
farm laborer.

It is unclear how many children Margery and William had as the records in that time period did
not always align. John, Jane, and Thomas’ names appeared in multiple documents, while three
other names, William, Anna, and Nancy, appeared sporadically. It is likely some of the adult
Fullam children lived at 97 Derby Street. By the time of his death, William Fullam was able to
acquire large tracts of land on the corner of Daniels Street and Derby Street. Having already
sold his home to Patrick T. Kenneally in 1878, he left the remainder of his land for his wife,
children, and grandchildren.

1874 Map: William Fullam’s Land61
The Fullam Family lived in the house under John Durgin’s name, which is the property that would be moved to 45
Daniels Street. Patrick T. Kenneally would have worked out of 97½ Derby Street while living in 97 Derby Street.
The Architecture: The Early House History
In order to ascertain an approximate age of the 45 Daniels Street home, the answers lie
in the house’s construction and architecture. In 1980, the Massachusetts Historical Commission
wrote a report on 45 Daniels Street. An historian from Historic Salem Inc. examined the house’s
structure and wrote the following:
A small 2 story plus patch roof house is gable end to the street - moved to present location (right on water)
and has very high stone foundation. Embrace now sheltered by a modern aluminum canopy but appears to
be in original location. Originally probably a 3 - bay facade.
The report further noted that the house was built in the Federal style and likely was constructed
between 1790 and 1830.62 Historian Judy D. Dobbs wrote an eloquent description to help

modern readers imagine what the neighborhood would have been like in this time period. She
began:
In 1762 Derby Wharf was begun and a portion of Derby Street, "a way of two poles wide to be allowed from
Daniel's Lane to Becket's Lane," was laid out. The cross streets which lead to houses near the water
existed, in many cases, long before Derby Street. The Derby Street area was a very busy and exciting place
during the height of Salem's foreign commerce, from around the time of the Revolution to the 1820s.
Salem's trade began to decline because the harbor was not deep enough to accommodate the fast new
clipper ships. On the northside of Derby Street were the houses of the merchants and the gentry, and
opposite were the counting rooms, warehouses, ship chandlers' stores, pump-makers' shops, sailmakers'
lofts and finally the wharves themselves. Today the district is residential and commercial and preserves
much of the feeling of Salem's maritime past.63
When 45 Daniels Street was constructed, the Derby Street neighborhood was likely just past
this maritime trading peak. However, today the home reflects the ever evolving history of Salem.
While this was built in a Federal style, like many of the old houses in Salem, there is a
rich, eclectic aesthetic reflecting many renovations made throughout the years. While a typical
Federal house would have symmetrical windows, the windows on 45 Daniels Street are
stylistically different. Undoubtedly, these changes were made in order to maximize one’s view of
the ocean which would not have existed prior to the 1911 move. The raised foundation also
suggests the Federal style while simultaneously serving as a buffer between ground level and
sea level.
One interesting architectural mystery about 45 Daniels Street appeared when the current
owners, Michael Sullivan and Rebecca Bell, dug below the cellar floor. They discovered that the
home was built on about three feet of oyster shells, an unusual sight.
63
Dobbs, Judy D. “Derby Waterfront District.” Massachusetts Historical Commission. 1975.

Professor Emerson Baker at Salem State University kindly responded to an email offering a
theory on these shells. He wrote:
I don’t think this is a building practice (at least not one I’m familiar with). Rather that suggests to me that the
shells were there before the house was moved to the site, and its foundation was dug into the shells. As an
archaeologist I can tell you that shell middens are quite common on the coast of New England (middens
being the fancy archaeology term for trash pits). Prehistoric shell middens can be found on the coast of New
England that are sometimes many feet deep. However, in the 19th and 20th century there were also lots of
commercial and even household operations shucking shellfish. So you could have an historic shell midden
as well.64
While the exact answer to this question will remain a mystery, it serves as a reminder of the
uniqueness of living in a seaborn town.

The hints of the Federal style exterior of 45 Daniels likely indicates construction having
started sometime between the years 1780 to 1830. The side gable and the symmetrical
windows on the exterior of the house do offer a more traditional Federal look, as shown on the
page earlier. The interior of the house, however, seems to narrow this time frame to the turn of
the century. James L. Garvin, author of A Building History of Northern New England wrote that
typically homes before 1830 had frames “with timbers that were often much larger than
necessary to carry the stresses encountered in small buildings.” Additionally, these timbers were
usually hewed with a broadaxe or adze. One can see the irregular shaping of the cut on this
exposed beam within the house. There also appears what looks like ax marks on the left side of
the beam. While some boards do appear to be cut with a circular saw, a building practice more
common from 1820 onward, it’s unclear when they could have been added.
Additionally, the builders of the house used a framing method common in the eighteenth
and early nineteenth centuries. There are exposed treenails, or pins, within corner posts and
beams throughout the house. The interior of the attic also shows a purlin roof, common in the
1700s until about 1830. Pictures of these elements are shown on the next page with a red star
added for emphasis.
�33
Finally, while hand forged nails were used well into the 1800s, they were most commonly used
in the late eighteenth or early nineteenth century. While the age of the house cannot be
definitively stated, circa 1800 seems to be the most likely time of its construction.

The Rakoc and Beska Era
From 1911 onward, Maurice Kenneally rented out his father’s properties at the end of
Daniels Street. The Salem Directory listed M. Sullivan as the first resident of 45 Daniels Street.
Maurice Kenneally also owned 43 Daniels Street, a large property dating back decades that no
longer stands today. Compared to later owners of 45 Daniels Street, Maurice Kenneally rented it
for a relatively short period of time. Below is again that 1911 map alongside some of the tenants
of 45 Daniels Street from 1911 to 1925.

One year before his death, Maurice Kenneally sold his father’s home 45 Daniels Street.69
Two men named Ignacy Rakoc and Paul Beska secured a loan from Salem Five Cents Saving
Banks for “the payment of Six Thousand Dollars in one year with five percent interest, per
annum…” in order to buy the residence.70 The 1926 Salem Directory listed Ignacy Rakoc as a
shoeworker who lived on 4 Daniels Street Court with his wife Stephanie.71 Both Ignacy and
Stephanie had emigrated from Poland in 1911, unable to read or write English. It is unclear if
they knew each other when they came to the United States. Twenty-five-year-old Ignacy
married twenty-one-year-old Stephanie and worked as a shoe laster, a highly specialized job in
which one attached the upper body of a shoe to its sole. When he bought 45 Daniels Street, he
was thirty-three years old and had four children.72 The 1929 Salem Directory listed Pawal “Paul”
Beska as a mill operator who also lived at 4 Daniels Street Court with his wife Mary.73 Paul, like
Ignacy, also emigrated from Poland. He arrived in the United States in 1906 while Mary came in
1909. Paul worked as a pressman and Mary worked as a framemaker in a cotton mill. They had
a son and daughter, both born in Massachusetts, when they bought 45 Daniels Street in 1925.74

Rakoc and Beska, however, did not live at 45 Daniels Street. In that same 1930 census,
an aforementioned name appeared above Rakoc and Beska who lived next door to 45 Daniels
Street: Wladyslaw Pierga. The Salem Directory first listed Wladyslaw Pierga as the primary
resident of 45 Daniels Street in 1921. Wladyslaw “Walter” Pierga was a short man with a slender
build, dark hair, and blue eyes.75 By the time of the 1930 United States Census, Wladyslaw had
been living at 45 Daniels for nine years. He had immigrated to the United States in 1910 at the
age of seventeen. His wife, Stefania, also known as “Stella,” arrived in 1909 at the age of
sixteen. The couple had married in their early twenties and by 1930 had seven children ranging
from age 15 to nine months old. Wladyslaw and his two oldest children, respectively fifteen and
eleven years old, were the only members of the family who could read and write in 1930.
Wladyslaw worked as a weaver in a cotton mill so he could rent 45 Daniels Street for thirteen
dollars a month. Stefania, understandably, managed their home and their seven children.76
1930 United States Census
While “Walter” and Stella Pierga lived at 45 Daniels Street until 1947 or 1948, their
children throughout the thirties and forties moved out of the home as they grew into adulthood.

The youngest of the Pierga children, Leon, only nine months old when the 1930 census was
taken, passed away in April of 2021. Leon’s obituary provides a small window into his life in
Salem. An excerpt from the O’Donnell Funeral Home is below.
Born in Salem, he was the son of the late Wladyslaw “Walter” and Stefania “Stella” (Nowak) Pierga. He was
raised and educated in Salem and was a graduate of Salem High School.
An honorably discharged veteran, he served his country as a member of the United States Army during the
Korean War.
Following his return from the service, Mr. Pierga had been employed as a Supermarket Produce Manager
for several years before his retirement at the age of 47. He then embarked on his second career as a
Handyman. He was well known for his expertise in many fields and never found a job he could not complete.
His success was a direct result of his strong work ethic, his kindness to others and his honest, straight
forward approach.
A lifelong resident of the City of Salem, Leo was a member of the V.F.W. Witch City Post # 1524, he enjoyed
playing Bingo at the former St. Mary’s Italian Church in Salem and attending the various Polish Picnics and
Fairs. Very independent, he loved fishing and taking the bus to Foxwoods which he did well into his 90’s.79
Another resident of 45 Daniels Street, the second youngest Pierga, Regina, passed away in
2016 and her obituary can also be found online. An excerpt is included on the next page.

Born in Salem, she was the daughter of the late, Walter P. and Stella (Nowak) Pierga. She was raised and
educated in Salem, attended St. John the Baptist Polish School and was a graduate of Salem High School.
As a young woman Regina had been employed at the former Pequot Mills and at the time of her retirement
she had been employed by Parker Brothers Game Company as a Supervisor for many years.
A longtime resident of the City of Medford, where she has resided since her marriage, Regina was a faithful
and generous supporter of St. Joseph's Church in Medford. Family is what brought Regina her greatest
pleasure; she was a loving wife, sister and aunt. One of her greatest joys, was spoiling her many nieces and
nephews, and sharing their many milestones and accomplishments. She will be deeply missed…
While the Pierga family did not live at 45 Daniels Street after 1948, they undoubtedly meant a lot
to their family and their Salem neighbors. On May 21, 1949, a year after the Pierga family
moved out of the 45 Daniels Street home, Mary Beska sold the house to Edmund F. Rakoc,
Igancy’s son, for $1000 “one undivided half part of the land said Salem with buildings thereon.”80
However, this sale did not mean there was a turnover of all the residents.
As early as 1929, Salem directories also listed the Czurcha family as residents of 45
Daniels Street as well. According to one of the Czurcha grandchildren, the Pierga family lived on
the top floor of the house and the Czurcha family lived on the main floor. Based on the available
Salem directories, the Czurcha family lived in the house until either 1959 or 1960.

Their thirty years in the house began with Kazimierz and Katharine Czurcha in 1929. The
Czurcha family would experience the Great Depression, World War II, and the early stages of
the Cold War while living in the home. The 1930 census indicated that Kazimierz was forty years
old when he began renting 45 Daniels Street with his thirty-six-year-old wife. Like the Pierga
family, the young Polish couple also rented their half of the house for thirteen dollars a month.
Kazimierz and Katharine had four American born children: Michael, Julia, Jane, and Emilia.
Their ages ranged, respectively, from thirteen, eleven, nine, and five when their parents began
renting the main floor. In order to support their family, Kazimierz was a tanner in a factory and
Katharine was a cleaner at the cotton mill.
Both Kazimierz and Katharine had immigrated to the United States in 1911. Kazimierz
did not serve during World War II, having been fifty-two years old in 1941. However, his draft
card recorded that he had a light complexion and was 5’7’’ and 145 lbs. By the age of 52, his
hair had grayed, which matched his eye color.84 Kazimierz’s place of birth, Krosno, Poland, was
bombed on the first day of the war. On September 9, 1939, the Nazi army marched into Krosno
and ordered all Jews to leave the city. Fortunately, having lived in Salem, Kazimierz never had
to experience that day in 1939.85 Salem’s Polish neighborhood must have read the headlines in
those years with dread as they thought of their native land and the family they left behind.
A year before the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, the 1940 census showed that two
Czurcha children, Michael and Julia, no longer lived at 45 Daniels Street. Nineteen-year-old
Jane still lived at home but her last name was now Bookholz and she had a three-year-old son

from her 1942 yearbook is included below.
An excerpt of her obituary provides a glimpse into her life at 45 Daniels Street during these
years:
Biorn, Emilia K. (Amy) 96, died on August 15, 2020 at her home surrounded by family. She was born on the
Fourth of July, 1924 in Salem, MA to Casimer and Katharine Czuchra. She grew up in Salem, graduating
from Salem High School in 1942. She met Floyd Biorn on her 18th birthday and corresponded with him
during WWII, while he was deployed in the Mediterranean with the Navy. They were married in February
1945 and moved to Minneapolis after Floyd's service was completed in 1947. Amy and Floyd lived on the
Northside since returning to Minneapolis. Amy was a member of Our Lady of Victory Catholic Church and
the VFW Auxiliary. She worked as an Mpls Public School Secretary until she retired in 1985. 87

Julia T. (Czuchra) Gagnon, 90, formerly of Salem, died Thursday, September 18, 2008 at the Lafayette
Convalescent Home, Marblehead, following a short illness. She was the wife of the late George I. Gagnon.
Born in Manchester, New Hampshire, she was the daughter of the late Charles and Katherine (Dombek)
Czuchra.
Prior to her retirement in 1972, Mrs. Gagnon was employed by Shetland Industries as a quality control
tester. She previously worked at the Hytron in Salem for 17 years.
A resident of Salem since the age of 4, she was a member of the P.L.A.V. Ladies Auxiliary, Post 55 in
Salem, the Salem Council on Aging and the AARP and was a parishioner of the Immaculate Conception
Church.88
While the other Czurcha obituaries were not found, having these two obituaries included in this
history pays a small but incomplete tribute to the lives that the Czurcha family lived at 45
Daniels Street for approximately thirty years.
Murtagh to Horeczy to Faden
In 1959, the Czurcha family moved out of 45 Daniels Street and the new owners, John
and Catherine Horeczy moved into it. On July 22, 1959 John and Catherine agreed to pay
“$2400 in 15 years with five percent interest per annum.”89 The 45 Daniels Street home would,
however, stay in the Horeczy family’s hands for forty-two years. On October 29, 1991, Andrew
D. Faden purchased the home for $135,400 from Stanley and Margery Horeczy.90

Faden to Sullivan and Bell
On June 8, 2021, Mary Lou Faden and Andrew D. Faden sold 45 Daniels Street to its
current owners, Michael Sullivan and Rebecca Bell.92 When Sullivan and Bell moved in, this was
the second Michael Sullivan to have lived in the home. In 1911, the year the house moved to
Daniels Street, a lab worker by the same name occupied the house.
1911 Salem Directory
When asked in an email about the appeal of 45 Daniels Street, Becky Bell eloquently said:
Michael and I had already started looking at houses in Salem in 2016 when our friends, who had been
renting 45 Daniels from the owner, Andy Faden, moved back to Cambridge and we picked up their lease.
The house and location were love at first sight for us, and Andy and I bonded over the house and its upkeep.
After 5 years of renting and dropping hints that we would buy the house if he ever wanted to sell, he sold it
to us in June 2021; a dream come true!
What do we love about 45 Daniels? This is the kind of place I looked for as a wedding venue! We have a
garden right on the ocean, and love watching the seasonal changes in harbor wildlife... the storms and the
tides; waking up to a Great Blue Heron standing on the fence and watching the fog rise up over Marblehead.
Michael and I love sailing history and he both volunteers on The Friendship of Salem - which we can see
from the bedroom - and works as crew on the schooner Fame. There's no topping the joy when the harbor
Tiki Boat swings by the house and honks at us to come out and say hi. (At this point we're decorating for
Halloween facing the ocean for the Tiki passengers!) After a couple years here Michael bought a little
vintage Cape Dory sailboat and we can see it from the living room - which sounds great but is stressful in a
storm! - and can launch a dinghy to it from our yard. And as for me, a former coworker, when we were
looking for a house in Salem, once joked that I secretly wanted a house where "If I suddenly turned into a
mermaid I could just flop into the water right away." I do in fact go swimming in the harbor with a fin, so I
guess we've found it! I plan on caring for 45 for the rest of my life.
From Derby Street to Daniels Street; from the peddler to the blind peanut vendor; from an Irish
household to a Polish household; 45 Daniels Street’s history reflects so much of the rich cultural
fabric of the historic Derby Street district.

A hearing was ordered for Wednesday, March 1st at 8.15 P.M. on the petition of William G. Edwards for

“The lot of land lying in said
Salem which land is bounded
North on Derby Street about
thirty three feet, West on land of
Doyle about sixty feet, South on
land of Hayes about thirty three
feet and East on land of said
Fullam about sixty feet. Being the
same premises conveyed to me
by deed of George Wheatland
Esq. dated October 1, 1874...”
It is unclear what transpired
between Wheatland, Fullam, and
Durgin. It appears that the City of
Salem transferred the mortgage
to Fullam in 1874 but Durgin lost
the land officially in 1875 after

the time and place of the sale. It
was advertised in the paper and
on the Stearns Building, and then
sold to the City of Salem.
“The lot of land lying in said

Built c. 1784
for John Berry, mariner
and Abigail Berry, spinster
Researched and written by Dan Graham
November 2021

�According to the Massachusetts Historical Commission, what is now Daniels Street was
in existence as early as 1661, and by the mid 1700s was known as Daniels Lane, later Daniels
Street. By the late 1700s, both Palfrey’s and Fogg’s Wharves were located at the foot of Daniels
Street, making the street busy with activities connected with the sea. According to MACRIS
property reports, 6 Daniels is among the oldest extant properties on the street.
As noted in the MACRIS report for this property (SAL.2584), the structure at 6 Daniels St
is somewhat larger than the average Federal period dwelling since it was built to house two
families. Placed gable end to the street, the structure was originally 7 bays long (2 narrow
windows have been added to the façade) and 3 bays deep. The Daniels St entrance has a simple
entablature while the north side doorway, while its blind sidelights, transom, and entablature,
appear to be a Greek Revival feature. The house also has the addition of a rear 2-story bay. Of
the architectural details and likely date(s) of construction, local architectural historian Vijay
Joyce contributed the following:
Along with other details (like the basic massing of the building), the massive bed
molding underneath the overhang is almost identical to the [house] at 10 ½ Herbert St.
which was built in the 1790s. [6 Daniels] was definitely added on to over the years. The
front door on the north side is very Greek Revival. And the south side of the building has
a Victorian bay added to it which came about in the 1840s/50s.
Perhaps the additional work/extension added in the 1840s/50s is why the Patriot Properties
listing for this property indicates 1850 as the construction date.
�According to historian Sidney Perley, a previous house built by 1672 once stood on this
site. John Berry acquired the property on December 7, 1722, and by 1746 had removed the old
house. See the excerpt below concerning the “Estate of Richard Rose House”:
Source: Sidney Perley, Essex Antiquarian, vol. 10, no. 24, pp. 122-123, Google Books
In 1784, Berry’s heirs - John Felt, Catharine Felt, and Elizabeth Stone - sold their interest
in this property to John Berry, a mariner, and Abigail Berry, a spinster. The language of the deed
is worth including at some length given its stipulations as to the intended partitions and future
building plans:
The said Abigail to have so much of the land under the house as may be covered by her
part of the house which she & said John the grantees may build & the said John to have
the land under his part of said house & the dividing line in said house to be an entry to
run from south to north through said house & the said Abigail to have the east end with
said entry & the said John the west end & the land round said house to remain in
�Common to the grantees with the well therein said Common land to extend as
farmost[sic] as to be six feet west from the west end of the house & to extend from
north to south parallel with said west end of said house & the rest of said land to be
divided in two equal halves […] (emphasis added)
As noted above, a house was intended to be built at the time of the deed’s signing in March of
1784, with Abigail taking the east end and John taking the west. According to city atlases and
directories, the house was partitioned as separate addresses - 6 Daniels and 8 Daniels (with 8 ½
Daniels also emerging in the early 1900s) - for most of its lifetime. The MACRIS report for 4
Daniels nextdoor (SAL.2585) notes that Abigail also acquired the eastern and western halves of
that property in 1797 and 1802, respectively. She died in 1824 after which point her executor,
Abigail B. Archer (nee Woodward; b. 1789; d. January 25/26, 1868), apparently rented out the
property.
John Archer (b. July 4, 1796; d. March 5 1884), a ship’s chandler, was the next owner of
6 Daniels. John Berry’s granddaughter, Mary Ann Stevens (nee Peele/Perle), and her husband
Hiram, a cordwainer, sold 6 Daniels to Archer in 1831. (Hiram and Mary Ann were married on
December 5, 1830 in Methuen.) The 1837 directory shows that Archer was sharing the house
with Eunice Russell, Aaron Meader, a laborer, and Ebenszer Morgan, a mariner. The 1850
Census lists John and Abigail living at the residence with Sophia Manning, who was 21 years of
age at the time; and a likely niece of John’s (see later note regarding 1880 Census).
��After Abigail’s death in early 1868, her sibling heirs - Benjamin Woodward and Nancy
Oneutt - granted John “two thirds of [the] house and one half the land” for $1,450 (see book
741, page 33 in “Deeds”). The 1870 Census shows that John continued to reside at the property
with Mary A. Francisco, identified as a housekeeper. The final Census showing John at the
property (before his death in 1884) is from 1880, and lists James Manning - a post office clerk and Robert Manning - a sea captain/master mariner - who are identified as Archer’s halfbrothers. Mary Francisco was living at 8 Daniels in 1880, and came to own the house after
John’s death, perhaps as a stipulation of Archer’s will. City directories show Francisco as the
sole occupant of 6 Daniels from at least 1890 until her death in 1895, at which point the
executor of her will, Nathaniel Simonds, sold the property to Roland Smalley. Book 1465 page
51 identifies Francisco as the owner of the property and stipulates that the property be sold off
via private sale as part of her will, but makes no mention of how she came to possess
ownership.
���Following Francisco’s death and more transfers of ownership, 6/8 Daniels provided
tenement housing for several decades (the 1906-1938 atlas labels the property as
“Tenements”). Throughout the early 1900s, 6/8 Daniels was home to various tenants, many of
them Polish immigrants. Attracted to job opportunities in the city’s mills and factories, Polish
immigrants began arriving in Salem en masse around 1890, accounting for about 8% of the
city’s overall population by 1911. Religion played a strong role in the Polish community and as
the number of Polish Catholics in Salem grew, the need for a permanent house of worship
became apparent. Nearby Herbert Street and Union Street became the heart of the Polish
Catholic presence in the city, after the opening of St. John the Baptist Church, a parochial
school, convent, and rectory.
The new church catalyzed the settlement of Polish immigrants in the neighborhood and
multiple single-family homes were converted or replaced with multi-family tenements to house
the growing population. The sizeable 6/8 Daniels was one such property, with 8 ½ being built in
the early 1900s (first appearing on the 1906 atlas and referred to as “Flats”). The Derby Street
neighborhood became a tight knit hub of all Polish activities with multiple shops, restaurants,
and social clubs in the area catering to Poles from all regions and religions. Even the House of
the Seven Gables (the namesake of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s 1851 novel) played a crucial role in
this community. Caroline Emmerton opened the museum in 1910 to support her adjacent
settlement house, which provided classes and workshops to the local immigrant community, a
role the museum still upholds to this day.
Closer to 6/8 Daniels, the Polish American Citizens Club (PACC) moved its headquarters
across the street to 9 Daniels in 1928 (see MACRIS SAL.2619). Founded in 1916, the PACC grew
�out of efforts to promote citizenship and naturalization among Salem's Polish immigrants, a
project that was strongly supported by the St. Joseph Society and community leaders such as
Teofil Bartnicki, Felix Rybicki, and Wladyslaw Sobocinski (who lived on Daniels and likely had
relatives at 6/8 Daniels in the early 1900s). The building has remained part of the community,
later becoming (and remaining) the home of the local Polish Legion of American Veterans post,
which had originally used the old firehouse at 128 Derby Street as its meeting place.

Many Polish tenants of 6/8 Daniels and their relations are featured in In the Heart of
Polish Salem: An Ethnohistorical Study of St. Joseph Hall and Its Neighborhood (2009), a PDF
version of which is freely available online through the National Park Service.1 As a case in point,
the text features in-depth coverage of Joseph Kohn - who lived at 6 Daniels in 1911 - who had
come to the U.S. in part because he was seeking to avoid conscription into the Russian army.

�Following his older brother’s migration to Salem, Joseph followed the same route. As his wife
Hedwiga (Harriet) shared in 1978:
When they got to a certain age, the Russians were taking all the young Polish boys to
join their army. And when he knew that he was going to be picked, he got into a wagon,
one of those farmers’ wagons loaded with hay. And he hid under the hay. And every
border they come to, they’d stick pitchforks through to see if anybody was there. And
they just laid in that hay. Most of them traveled that way to get out of the boundary
lines.
Trained as a shoemaker, Joseph found work at a shoe shop in Salem before saving up enough
money to acquire a horse and wagon he used to transport fruit and vegetables from New
Hampshire to sell in Salem. He eventually established his own grocery business.2

Its Neighborhood, pp. 108-109.
�Another tenant of 6 Daniels - Frank (Franciszek) Sobocinski - attempted to start a local
mutual assistance society in 1897 with six other men, one of whom also lived at 6 Daniels in the
early 20th century - Walter Jastrzembski. As scholars Cathy Stanton and Jane Becker have noted,
the mutual assistance model had significant appeal in immigrant communities. Many ethnic
communities felt that it was shameful to accept aid from outside of their own groups; one early
study of Poles in the U.S. found that Polish immigrants saw the acceptance of American charity
as a disgrace to the entire community.3 Founded in 1899, the St. Joseph Society was among the
earliest of many local associations designed to provide civic, economic, educational, and social
benefits for Poles in the city. See Appendix C from In the Heart of Polish Salem which features
meeting minutes from the Society, naming several additional tenants and relations of 6/8
Daniels.

BUILDING F O R M (9 Daniels Street)
A R C H I T E C T U R A L DESCRIPTION
Describe architectural features. Evaluate the characteristics of the building in terms of other buildings within the
community.
This early 19th century brick dwelling was converted for use as a Polish social club in the late 1920s. The three-story, flatroofed brick building presents its narrow two-bay facade to the street and was apparently originally nearly identical to the
adjacent building at 7 Daniels Street which sits just a few feet to the north. The brick is laid in a Flemish bond and the
building rests on a stone foundation. With the exception of the first floor windows which have been bricked-in, most of the
windows contain a 1/1 replacement sash and display simple stone sills and splayed lintels. The windows on the third floor are
slightly smaller. On the facade, the height of the building has been raised slightly and the original cornice has been removed.
Extending to the south of the building is a 20th century three-story addition measuring l x l bay and obscuring the original
center entrance. Its detailing echoes that of the original building. The brick on this section is laid in a common brick above a
concrete foundation. The windows have splayed brownstone lintels and concrete sills. The first floor entrance is located on
the west wall of the addition and is fronted by new concrete steps. The original brownstone entablature over the entrance has
been partially obscured by a canopy and the doors have been replaced by modem bronze and glass double doors. At the rear
of the building is a two-story, wood-frame addition which is sheathed in aluminum siding above a concrete foundation. On
the south side, there is a recessed bay which accesses a set of covered stairs.
The building is set directly on the sidewalk just about two feet from the adjacent building at 7 Daniels Street. There is a large
paved parking area to the south of the building.
HISTORICAL N A R R A T I V E
Describe the history of the building. Explain its associations with local (or state) history. Include uses of the building and
the role(s) the owners/occupants played within the community.
What is now Daniels Street was in existence as early as 1661 and by the mid 1700s was known as Daniels Lane, later
Daniels Street. By the late 1700s Bentley states that both Palfrey's and Fogg's Wharves were located at the foot of Daniels
Street, making Daniels Street busy with activities connected with the sea. The houses at 7 and 9 Daniels Street both date to
the early 19th century.
The earliest available directory, that of 1836, indicates that Peirce L. Wiggin was living here at that time. Without deed
research it is not possible to find out whether he was the original owner. Mrs. Wiggin continued to live here as late as 1881.
By 1884 the property had been acquired by William H . Goldsmith, an inspector at the Custom House, who occupied part of
the house and rented out units to two tenants. William Goldsmith and William Hyde are shown as the owners on the 1911
map and in the 1905 and 1910 city valuation records. Goldsmith continued to live here until about 1915. The house was
rented out to a number of tenants over the next 10-15 years. By 1929 the building was being utilized by the Polish American
Citizens Club, which was organized in November 1916 and initially met at 160 Derby Street. By 1970 the present occupant,
the Polish Legion of American Veterans Post 55, was using the building.

I.
The Property Before 1667
The house at 1 Daniels Street almost certainly dates from the seventeenth century, so the
period of recorded history that predates its construction is not long. Daniels Street existed by
1661, when it was called a lane or highway, and in 1669 it was called the highway by the
waterside.1 The harbor was slightly closer, the waterline where the entrance to Daniel Street
Court is today.2
Joseph Grafton, Sr. was one of the earliest settlers in Salem, recorded as a freeman on May
17th, 1637, there only being 64 freemen of the town recorded before that date.3 Grafton possessed
the site of 1 Daniel Street as early as 1661. The land directly to the south of it was owned by
Matthew Dove in the same year.4 Grafton, Sr. a mariner, died in 1681. Joseph Grafton, Jr., also a
mariner, was baptized in 1636/7 and died in Barbados in 1670.5 According to Perley, Stephen
Daniels possessed the lot where his house stands today by at least 1682, but likely earlier.6
Of the ten houses in Salem proven to (or credibly believed to) date to the seventeenth
century, three were in the neighborhood of the Daniels House: The House of the Seven Gables,
built 1668, the Retire Beckett House, built circa 1655, and the William Murray House, built circa
1688. Of the remaining six houses, four were in the town center, and two in the west end.
The majority of houses on Daniels Street date to the nineteenth century. Today there are 15
houses on Daniels Street between Essex and Derby Street, seven on the eastern side of the street

The Daniels House
To begin, a quick note on the spelling of the last name Daniels. The earliest Daniels often
spelled their name “Daniell” and numerous later records offer either “Daniel” or “Daniels.” As
there was no standardized spelling in America prior to the nineteenth century, I have used as an
overall name “Daniels,” due to its usage in the twentieth century and association with the house.
In many places where the registered name does not align with this spelling, I have included a
parenthetical with the name as spelled in the source.
In 1986, Debra Hilbert of the Salem Planning Department recorded the house as dating to
1667, and noted that it was “important as one of about 20 houses in Salem identified as having
First Period origins,” and that “[i]n 1756, the house was expanded to give it its current Georgian

configuration.”30 First Period houses, so named because they comprise the first period of
American architecture, date from 1637 to around 1725, when the majority of houses were built
with Georgian elements.
Sidney Perley’s description of the house’s history in 1928 is as follows: “The ancient
Daniels house on the easterly corner of Essex and Daniels streets was built by Stephen Daniel, a
shipwright, about 1693; and he conveyed it to his daughter widow Mary Silsbee March 16 1748.
She lived there for the remainder of her life and the estate then descended to her only surviving
child, Samuel Silsbee, a carpenter. He apparently built on the northern part of the house, as it
now exists, at the time of his marriage in 1756…”31
Several dates are suggested in later historical sources- either 1667 or 1690 in 1906
according to Sidney Perley, 1693 according to Perley in 1928, 1693 around 1934, 1682 in 1938,
1667 in 1950 (both in works by Samuel Chamberlain), 1667 in 1986 and
in 2004, both
according to Bryant K. Tolles. Barring dendrochronology, which could scientifically date the
house to within two years of construction based on the pattern of tree rings, it is impossible to
say for sure when the house was built, except that its architectural features are in line with a
house built in the late 17th century, and that it was likely constructed by the Daniels family
sometime between 1667 and 1693.
Dendrochronological studies of other houses in New England have shown that with the
exception of the earliest house (The Fairbanks House, Dedham, 1637-1641), no house has been
confirmed to predate 1661. The Thomas Riggs House was constructed in Gloucester in 1661 and
numerous houses date to the 1660s and the final three decades of the seventeenth century. The

good news is that a date of 1667 is firmly within the realm of plausibility based on the study of
other houses.
The proportions of the original first floor, 36’8.5” deep and 17’5” wide, conform with
larger houses constructed in the period. Abbott Lowell Cummings examined textual evidence for
the “overall dimensions of dwelling houses” in building contracts, timber allowances, deeds, and
similar documents, recording his findings in an appendix of The Framed Houses of
Massachusetts Bay, 1625-1725. Cummings found houses of similar dimensions in Ipswich in
1637 (30-35’x16-18’), Beverly in 1657 (38’ x 17’), Marlborough in 1661 (37’x 18’), Acton in
1668 (40’ x 18’), Dedham in 1669 (40-50’x 18-20’), Dorchester in 1669 (38’ x 20’), Salem in
1678 (35’ x 20’), Cambridge in 1684 (35’ x 18’), and Groton in 1706 (38’ x 18’).
The hall (Room 101) measures 17’9” by 17’7.5”, similar to numerous houses with
proportions of 18’ by 18’ recorded by Cummings. Houses with nearly identical dimensions to the
hall of the Daniels House were built in Ipswich in 1671 and 1673, and as an addition to a
preexisting house in Ipswich in 1659. Houses with similar proportions (within two feet) are
recorded in Cambridge in 1665, Dorchester in 1667, Ipswich in 1670 and 1671, Cambridge in
1678, Dorchester in 1679, Cambridge in 1684, and three times in Charlestown in 1705.
The kitchen (Room 102), which measures 9’9” by 17’7.5”, is smaller than any recorded
in Cummings’ research. The Alexander Knight House, built in 2015 in Ipswich from plans from
1657, measures 16 feet long by 12 feet wide.32 It is unlikely that many houses were much smaller
than this. The kitchen likely never stood as an independent house and was either built
contemporaneously with the hall or was added later.

The dimensions of the original construction were similar to those of the Turner Mansion
(The House of the Seven Gables) in 1668. The home that merchant John Turner built consisted
of a hall and kitchen on the first floor with overall dimensions of 37’10.5” by 18’10.75”.33 The
length of the hall was 18’11.5”, making it similar in size to the Daniels House, though slightly
larger, with 45 extra square feet. The kitchen, which was 10’11” long, is comparable. The Turner
Mansion’s kitchen is 34 square feet larger.
The Narbonne House, a more modest structure built in 1675 by the butcher Thomas Ives,
consisted of a single room on the first floor, measuring 18’10.5” by 17’9.5”, with the entrance
hall and chimney being approximately 8’ wide.34 One the other end of the spectrum, the Corwin
House (commonly called the Witch House), has dimensions (after extensive renovation) of 48’4”
by 19’10”. The hall, perhaps the most original part of that house, still measures an enormous
22’2” by 19’10”.
Like many First Period structures in New England, the house faced south. The original
entry was probably located in the southern wall (today room 102B).
The front hallway on the western façade is a charming early entranceway, likely dating to
the eighteenth-century expansion of the house in 1756. Arthur Haskell’s 1934 photographs for
the Historic American Buildings Survey, show the condition of the staircase in that year. The
current banister, stairs, and trim around the stairs can been seen, as well as the original paneling
and door in the wall below the stairs. The banister is painted a darker color, while the paneling is
painted with a cracking white paint.

The kitchen is perhaps the most impressive for its antiquity and unique architectural
features. The curved cove molding above the fireplace is a rare survival of seventeenth-century
design, as is the grand fireplace in that room.
Original timbers still survive in the parts of the house dating to the seventeenth century,
making the house an important document of Salem construction techniques and styles in that era.

Stephen Daniels, c. 1667-1687
Stephen Daniels I was born in 1632 or 1633 and came to Salem in 1666.35 Perley
identifies him as a master mariner “at the head of a family of shipmasters,” but he is called in
later sources a shipwright. He married Mary Prince on July 26th, 1666 in Salem.36 The couple had
at least four children: Stephen Daniels II, born October 6th, 1667, John, born April 12, 1669, who
died young, Mary, born July 18, 1670, and Sarah, born March 12, 1675/6. Mary died in October
1679, and Stephen married next Susanna (Baxter) Hide, the widow of Isaac Hide, on December
3rd, 1680.37 Stephen I and Susanna had a daughter, Susanna, August 28th, 1686.38
The following document from 1666 is found among the deeds of Essex County:
This bill findeth me Nicholas Daniell of Port Royall in Jamaica, mee, my heires or cause

Theodore Price marchant came before me 16: March 66/7. & made his Corporall oath
that he was pr’sent and saw Mary Daniell. signe and deliver this bill, as her act & deed
as attests Wm. Hathorne Assistant in the Massachusetts.39
In June of 1680, Stephen I was one of many members of the Salem community who
signed a petition to the General Court of Massachusetts requesting permission to build a second
meeting house. The effort was led by the Hathornes and the Corwins, with support from
prominent figures such as John Turner, Nathaniel Felton, Sr., Nathaniel Silsbee, Philip English,
and William Hirst.
A counter petition led by the Gedneys and signed by people including John Pickering, Eleazer
Gedney, Timothy Lindall, and Nathaniel Putnam, put an end to discussion of a new meeting
house.40
Stephen Daniels I died aged 54, February 14th, 1686/7.41 On September 29th, 1686,
Edmund Andros, soon-to-be Governor of New England, received a seal for official use featuring
a bishop’s mitre. According to Perley, only two impressions of Andros’ seal survive and the only
perfect impression is on the letter appointing the administrator of Daniels’ estate.42 An
administration of his estate (as “Stephen Daniell”) signed by his widow and son is recorded
March 25th, 1690, among the records of the Essex County Probate Court, but the actual
documents are now missing.43
When Stephen died, Susanna may have married Samuel Gardner in 1690.44 Perley
suggested that Capt. Samuel Gardner, a baker, first married Elizabeth (Browne) Grafton, the
widow of Joseph Grafton, in 1673, then Susanna Daniel in or before 1690. Gardner had six

George Gardner and a grandson of Thomas Gardner, one of the most prominent of the Old
Planters of Salem in the 1620s.46
Mary Daniels was living in 1690 and Susannah Daniels is recorded living and unmarried

IV.
Stephen Daniels II through Stephen Daniels V, 1693-1805
Stephen Daniels II is called a shipwright by Perley in 1928.48 In 1682, he (listed by
Sidney Perley as “Stephen Daniell”) commanded a fishing trip on the 30-ton ketch Endeavor,
owned by William Hirst. The voyage left Winter Island, which was an area for fish processing
and drying. The contents of their provisions for the journey are recorded by Perley: “They took
two barrels of bait mackerel, two barrels of pork, five bushels of peas, eighty-eight pounds of
butter, one gallon of vinegar, one pound of pepper, a cord of wood, etc.”49 In 1693, Stephen
Daniels II, shipwright, pays £10 for land from Joseph Grafton. The property is described as “a
certain parcel of land containing Twenty five Pole or thereabouts be it more or Less as it is now
bounded as followeth wth the highway north & west wth the land of the Widdowe Marsh relique of
John Marsh, decd. to the south & the land of Thomas Browne to the east and is near adioyning to
the house of the said Joseph Grafton Scituate Lying & being in the town of Salem.”50

In Salem in the Seventeenth Century, James Duncan Phillips recounts a lawsuit between
Stephen Daniels, master of the ketch Endeavor, and John Ingersoll, shoreman.51
In November 1718, Susanna, the daughter of Stephen Daniels I, being unmarried, sold a 2
½ acre piece of land in the South Fields to the shipwright Samuel Swasey for £30.525354
On January 1st, 1692/3, Stephen Daniels II married Mary Marston, daughter of Deacon
John Marston, a house carpenter.55 Mary Daniels was born January 14th, 1669/70.56 Mary’s
grandfather was John Marston, a carpenter from Ormsby, Norfolkshire who died in 1681.57 Their
children were Stephen Daniels III, born Dec. 9, 1693, Mary, born March 27th, 1696, Susanna,
born May 9, 1698 and died July 31st, a second Susanna, born July 21, 1699, and Sarah, born
October 26th, 1702.58
Stephen Daniels III married Margaret ----- and had six children: Stephen Daniels IV, born
1717, William, born 1719, Margaret, born April 24, 1722, John, born May 27, 1725, Mary, born
in January or February 1728/9, and Sargent, born January 5, 1734.59
On May 4th, 1725, Stephen Daniels III (“Stephen Daniel, Jr.”) purchased a house with
half acre lot of land from Deacon John Marston for £150. The lot was bordered on the south
“with a cove in the mill pond,” on the west with the land of James Ruck, on the north on “the
highway,” and on the east on land formerly of Matthew Woodwell. The property contained a
“dwelling House Barne out Houses fruite Trees & fences.”60 Daniels is identified as a shipwright
in the deed. The house located in Knocker’s Hole, which had the greatest concentration of

shipbuilding in Salem in the seventeenth century. The Marston house had been begun by
Obadiah Antrim, a mariner, around 1664. Antrim died at sea the same year. John Marston
purchased the unfinished house in 1667 and completed it.61 In 1728, Richard Palmer sold Daniels
a small adjoining strip of land for 5 shillings.62
Daniels III continued to acquire property. In 1726, he purchased the common rights of
Benjamin Bush from his widow, Mary Bush, for £20.63 In 1733, he purchased for £60 a parcel of
land with a shop or outhouse on the south river adjoining the highway to Marblehead.64 The same
year, Daniels III sold a parcel of land in the South Fields to Samuel Gardner for 30 shillings.65 In
1736, he purchased a common right from Elizabeth Jerman, “spinster,” for £15.66
In 1736, Stephen Daniels III was a member of the Episcopal Society of Salem.67
Daniels III was buried in March of 1741, aged 48.68 April 13th of that year, the magistrate
Thomas Berry granted “Margarett Daniels” administration of his estate.69 Deacon Timothy
Pickering, Samuel Field, and Daniel King served as the appraisers for the probate inventory in
August of that year70.
The probate inventory shows that Daniels III was wealthy with a total estate of
£1,299:17:11. It included some fine furniture including a maple desk worth £5, two looking
glasses worth £17:15:0, six pictures, a scale and weights, a firearm and bayonet, two old swords
and a dagger, a large bible valued at 45s and 25 other books valued at 65s, kitchen implements,

items whose antiquity is mentioned, there are the “two old swords,” an “Old Fashion desk,” an
old brass kettle, an old skillet “& scimmer,” an old frying pan, an “old jack,” “six old chairs,”
“an old Portmantle,” and two old rugs.72 Stephen Daniels III’s real estate was listed in Table 2.

In April of 1742, Stephen Daniels IV and James Ruck set the respective bounds of their
properties near the highway to Marblehead under the observation of Edward Britton and
Alexander Tarrants.73 Ruck was married to Martha Gedney and living in the Gedney House, a
First Period house from 1665 owned today by Historic New England.74
The former Marston house was inherited by William, who owned the lot in 1774, The
house on Daniels Street was apparently split equally between five of Daniels III’s children as
evidenced by the deed of 1765.
William Daniels became a shipwright, mariner, and yeoman, and lived until 1785.75 He
inherited the former Marston house and owned the lot in 1774, but by then the old house was
gone.76 Margaret married Thomas Brewer in 1740. Sergeant married Sarah Fowler, October 19,
1760 and died before 1765.77
Stephen Daniels IV (called Stephen Daniels III in Vital Records) worked as a shipwright
as well. He married Elizabeth Beadle, March 18, 1739/40.78 He worked as a ship carpenter.
Stephen IV next married Sarah Pain, July 21st or 31st, 1762.79 She was the daughter of John Pain
and Abigall Harney, born in 1716.80 They had six children: Elizabeth, Sarah, Ruth, John, Stephen
Daniels V, and Benjamin.81 In 1743, Daniels IV sold a parcel of about an acre in the South Fields
to Jonathan Very, a cordwainer, for £11:5s.82 In 1744, he sold another acre of land in the South
Fields to his brother, William (identified here as a mariner), for £11:2s.83 In 1765, Sarah Daniels,

the widow of Sargeant, sold his one-fifth share of Stephen Daniels III’s dwelling house for £30
to Stephen IV and William.84 In 1789, Richard Shatswell, a baker, was legally indebted to
Stephen Daniels, either IV or V, for £48:0:8p.85 Stephen IV died at age 88 in early 1805.86 His
widow, Sarah, died aged 92 in October of the same year.87 Stephen Daniels V served as the
executor of his father’s estate, with Judge Samuel Holten presiding.88 Daniels V sold the house
on High Street where the Marston house had been to William Fabens, a mariner, for $642.8990 The
house 17 High Street is a Federal-style house which may have been built by Daniels IV or
Fabens.91
Relatedly, the house currently standing at 22-24 High Street (opposite the parcel
purchased from the Daniels) is thought to have been constructed by Fabens in the Federal
period.92
The real estate of Stephen Daniels IV added up to $2,000, his personal estate to only
$83.75, with an additional $162.40 in house rent. His estate was executed by Capt. Addison
Richardson, Isaac Needham, and John Watson.
John Daniels was a shipwright who married Elizabeth Cook in 1780 and died before
1782.93 Elizabeth married a Pitman, Sarah married Zachariah Burchmore in 1770, and Ruth
married Daniel Bacon in 1775.94 Benjamin Daniels married Mary Stevens in 1781 and died in

In 1736, Mary Silsbee purchased a parcel of land for £30 from Joseph Bradford, a
shopkeeper. The location of the parcel has yet to be determined, as the references to geographical
location are vague. The purchase is described as a:
Certain piece or parcell of Land situate in said Salem with all ye Back leanto of ye Dwelling
House Bounded on ye East on a Lane beginning with ye Bounds of ye Land in ye Possession of
ye said Mary & there measures twenty seven feet & thence more Westerly through between ye
House & leanto & there measures forty Eight feet & one half thence Northerly with Joseph
Searles Line & measures twenty seven feet thence Easterly by said Widow Silsbeys Land &
there measures forty eight feet & a half to ye Lane & Bound first mentioned which piece of
Land Contains about five poles with ye appurtenance & priviledges thereto belonging...102
In March 1748/9, Mary Silsbee paid £400 to Stephen Daniels for the house at 1 Daniels
Street, described as:
One Certain Messuage or Tenement consisting of a Dwelling House Barn & about a Quarter
of an acre of Land situate in Salem aforesaid where I now Dwell Bounded N:erly & Westerly
on Highways S:erly on Land of Thos. Down Easterly partly on Land of Benj.a Stone & partly
on Land of Warwick Palfray together with a Common Right in the Great Pasture in Salem
aforesaid.103
It was in 1742 that the street is first called “Daniels Lane,” being called “Daniels Street” in
1769.104
Mary continued to live in the Daniels House until her death in 1803, when it was inherited by
her only surviving child, Samuel Silsbee. The genealogist James Arthur Emmerton describes her
circumstances in his 1880 work, A Genealogical Account of Henry Silsbee, and Some of His
Descendants:
“Here the widow passed the rest of her life, helping out her narrow income by the profits
of a small shop, and here her descendants dwelt for more than a hundred years.”105

Samuel Silsbee, Sr. 1756-1803
Samuel Silsbee married Martha Prince, 22 January 1756, when he was 24.106 They had
seven children: Nathaniel; Mary; Hannah, born around 1761; Samuel, Jr., born around 1763;
Deborah, born April 19th, 1767; Sarah, who died young; and Sarah, born around 1774.107108
Both Nathaniel and Mary Silsbee died unmarried. Hannah Silsbee married John
MacGregor on November 1st, 1781.109 Deborah Silsbee married Daniel Sage on October 8th,
1786.110 Sage was a Scottish-born merchant and mariner. For a more in depth account of the lives
of Deborah and Daniel Sage and their home next-door at 52 Essex Street, please refer to my
history of that house.111
Silsbee undertook the enlargement and renovation the Daniels House around 1756.
Emmerton notes:
‘Samuel was a carpenter. The accounts of the East Church show his bill for “clabording”
in July, 1766. He probably built the northern part of the house, at the eastern corner of
Daniels and Essex Streets, where he passed his whole life. The wing, although ancient, is
evidently more modern than the rest, and was built, his daughter Sarah said, ‘long before
her time,’”112
Sarah Silsbee first married David Patten, August 14th, 1803. He died November 1st,
1805. Second, Sarah married Haffield White Reed on January 28th, 1808.113

Samuel Silsbee, Jr. also a carpenter, married Rebecca Read of Danvers, on October 1st,
1786.114 Rebecca Read Silsbee died July 9th, 1857, aged 94.115 Emmerton describes Samuel, Jr.
living a life more appropriate to an earlier time:
“Samuel Silsbee, carpenter and farmer, may be said to have brought down to our age
the life of the early settlers. He not only eked out the returns of his trade in town by the
cultivation of his outlying acres ‘in the fields,’ but, sometimes at least, resorted to watercommunication, and, with less reason than in the olden time when every household had
its ‘water-carriage,’ went from house to farm by boat.”116
Emmerton notes further that the lands of the Silsbees in the North Fields had been held
in common by the family from 1684 until 1803 with the death of Martha Silsbee, Samuel, Jr’s
mother.
Samuel and Rebecca had eight children: Martha, born March 22nd, 1787; Mary, born
May 10th, 1789, died aged 5, June 25, 1794; Rebecca, born March 13th, 1791; Nathaniel, born
December 29th, 1793; Mary, born May 22nd, died March 4th, 1797; Samuel III, born May 27th,
1798; John, born July 13th, 1800; Sarah, born December 2nd, 1802.
Martha Silsbee married first David Beadle, a mariner, on January 5th, 1806. Beadle was
the son of Josiah Beadle, a mariner who died in 1775, and the grandson of John Beadle, a
mariner who died before 1764. David Beadle died in the West Indies in July 1811. They had two
sons, David, born 1807, and Josiah, born 1809. David was lost overboard from the ship Two
Brothers in 1828. Josiah died in 1842.117

Rebecca Silsbee married John Peck on July 14th, 1811. Nathaniel Silsbee drowned at
sea while sailing on the brig Mary and Eliza, September 14th, 1816. Samuel Silsbee III married
Mary Sullivan and they had a daughter. John Silsbee died age 15 on September 28th, 1815. Sarah
Silsbee married Thomas R. Peck of Boston on June 10th, 1821.118119
According to James Duncan Phillips in the 1930s, the property belonged to the heirs of
Samuel Silsbee in 1780, while the lot directly to the east was occupied by the heirs of Benjamin
Stone. To the east of that, past a short lane, was Bentley’s East Meeting House. To the south was
the land of the heirs of Warwick Palfrey.120
Samuel Silsbee is listed as a carpenter and a member of Rev. Bentley’s East Church in
1785.121 The same year, Silsbee served as “Proprietor of the Treasurer’s Books” for the
congregation.122 Samuel’s wife, Martha, was also a member of the church.123 The Silsbees appear
to have been devout. On May 10, 1789, Bentley records the first of many Sunday prayers
requested by the family, “Samuel Silsbee & Wife for her delivery & Brethren at Sea.”124
In the 1790 Census, Samuel Silsbee, Jr. is identified as a carpenter.125 In 1792, Samuel, Sr., a
carpenter and farmer, Samuel, Jr., a carpenter, and Daniel Sage, a mariner, are listed among
Bentley’s congregation.126 December 29th, 1793, Samuel and Martha prayed again for “her
delivery & Brethren at Sea.”127

Samuel Silsbee, Sr. died aged 73 on December 4th, 1803 of pleuritic fever.128 The probate of
Silsbee (called Silsby) was executed by Capt. Benjamin Ward, Mr. John Watson, and Captain
Gamaliel Hodges, and presided over by Samuel Holten. The heirs of Silsbee were Samuel
Silsbee, Jr., housewright, Benjamin Ward, housewright, and Daniel Sage, mariner.129
The house at 1 Daniels Street is described as “A mansion house with the out houses & the
land under & adjoining situated on Essex & Daniels Street” and was worth an impressive $4,500.
Silsbee also owned “a lot of Land containing about eleven acres situated in the Northfields so
called,” worth $1,650. Lastly, among his real estate was 1/3 of a pew in the East Meeting Housenumber three- $35. Silsbee’s son-in-law Daniel Sage also owned part of pew number three.130 His
real estate came to $931.51.131

Firstly, the probate inventory of Samuel Silsbee, Sr. shows us that there were rooms
identified as the kitchen, store, and store chamber. Furthermore, there were seven beds of six
different values, all with bedsteads and underbeds, but only two with curtains and valances.
There may have been five bedrooms, as there are five rugs and five chests of drawers listed.
Indicating Silsbee’s means of subsistence, there are carpenter’s tools, farming implements,
three cows, a horse, and equipment for carting goods. Over half the value of the probate is in
financial instruments such as bank bills and loan office certificates.

On April 17th, 1805, Martha Silsbee wrote a warrant allowing Silsbee’s heirs to divide the
estate. She wrote:
Be it known by these presents, That whereas the heirs of my late husband deceas’d, has
expressed their wish for a devision of the above deceas’d’s Real Estate, I do hereby give
my consent the said estate may be devided among them in such a manner as they may
agree on witness my hand

The final total of Silsbee’s estate came to $1113.51, factoring in real estate ($6,185),
personal estate ($931.51), interest on state securities ($62), house rent ($61), and the sale of
some barley ($9). Expenses came to $685.43.5, enumerated below in Table 4.

Silsbee’s Heirs, 1803-1860
�28
Samuel Silsbee’s widow, Martha Prince Silsbee, lived in the house until her death on
September 15th, 1817.
1820 map surveyed by Jonathan P. Saunders shows two wharves at the end of Daniels
Street and the East Church at the corner of Essex and Hardy Streets.132
When Samuel, Sr. died in 1803, the house was inherited by three of his children: Samuel,
Jr., Sarah Patten, and Deborah Sage. In 1818, the house was divided between Samuel, Jr. and his
sister Sarah, now Sarah Reed. Sarah got the northern side and Samuel got the southern side.
. Samuel Silsbee, Jr. died June 7th, 1822.133 September 9th, the subscribers of his estate
appeared before Judge Daniel A. White. They were, Samuel Silsbee III, and Silsbee’s three sonsin-law, Asa Hood, John M. Peck, and Thomas R. Peck.
In a will dated March 16th, 1821, Silsbee identifies himself in his will as a housewright.
He leaves to his wife and heirs the “western half of a house at the corner of Essex and Daniel
Streets,” that half “now occupied by Philip Manning and Mr. Savary.” Silsbee also leaves a
garden, some outbuildings, and four acres of land on Liberal Street in North Salem. The
remainder of his estate was bequeathed to his children, “Martha Hood, Becky Peck, Samuel
Silsbee, and Sarah Silsbee.” Martha and Asa Hood are to “bring into Hotch-pot with the other
children” $150 which they took as an advance while Silsbee was still alive.
On October 1st, 1822, Rebecca was the principal of a guarantee against the probate of six
thousand dollars, with Joseph Beadle, merchant, and Thomas Barker, shipwright, as sureties.134
The 1842 directory lists Mrs. Sarah Reed, Mrs. Elizabeth Ropes, John Sage, mariner as
residents of the house.135 Mrs. Rebecca Silsbee is listed at 3 Daniels Street in 1842 and 1846.136137

The 1846 directory lists Stephen B. Dow, a mariner, Mrs. Sarah Read, and John Sage.138
Dow does not appear in the 1842 or 1850 directories. Mrs. Elizabeth Ropes is listed at 117 Essex
Street in 1846139 and 7 Becket Street in 1850.140 In 1850, 3 Daniels was occupied by Mrs. Frances
Peters and Mrs. Rebecca Silsbee,
141
while 1 Daniels was lived in by John Sage and Mrs. Sarah
Read.142
An 1851 map of Salem by Henry McIntyre shows the house as belonging to Mrs.
Silsbee.143 The directory of that year lists Mrs. Sarah Read and John Sage at 1 Daniels144 and only
Rebecca Silsbee at 3 Daniels145 The arrangement remains the same in 1853 and 1855.146147
Rebecca Silsbee died July 9th 1857 and on August 17th, her heirs conveyed the property
to John W. Russell.
Sarah Reed died September 2nd, 1860 and Elizabeth Hodges, the wife of Joseph Hodges,
was given her half on November 21st.

Guide to Salem, 1880.
In 1869, 1 Daniels Street was home to William P. Edwards, a mariner, and Martha P.
Edwards, while Jeremiah Lyons, a gardener, lived at 3 Daniels with Timothy Lyons, a paper
hanger, as a boarder.148 The same is true of 1872, though only Martha is still at 1 Daniels.149
The Atlas of the City of Salem in 1874 shows the property divided, with the northerly half
belonging to Hodges and the southerly half belonging to John W. Russell.150 John Russell died
May 10, 1875, conveying his part of the house to his daughters, Rebecca Burger and Sarah R.
Dexter.
When Elizabeth Hodges died May 2, 1883, the house was inherited by her children,
Margaret C. Hanson, Sarah E. Hodges, Gamaliel Hodges, and the grandchildren of her
predeceased daughter, Elizabeth M. Jelly: Clara H. Jelly, William M. Jelly, and Marion H.
Jelly.151
On October 8, 1883, Hodges’ heirs conveyed it to the widow Sarah S. Russell for a total
of $1,100. Russell died March 29, 1886. The southern part of house passed to her daughters,
Rebecca S. Burger and Sarah R. Dexter, who owned the entire house after 1886.

laborer and then fisherman, also lived on the southern side.156 Lucy Tucker, the widow of
Ebenezer, lived in the south side as well in 1882-3.157 The northern side appears vacant from
1878 until 1884.158
In 1886 directory lists as residents Mrs. Margaret Maloney, a housekeeper, Mrs. Alice
Stanwood, a dressmaker, and Stephen Burger, a dry goods merchant at William G. Webber &
Co. at 240 Essex Street and the future owner of 1 Daniels Street.159 In 1886, there were 16 dry
goods stores in Salem, 11 of them located on Essex Street.160 In the same year there were 96
dressmakers, all of them women and 45 of them unmarried.161
An alternative directory lists Stephen Burger (or Burgess), as clerk at Almy, Bigelow,
and Webber, a dry good stores at 188 Essex Street living on the northern side of the house in
1884 and 1886.162 Reuben S. Hoyt boards at 3 Daniels Street with Alvin Hoyt, both carpenters.163
Beginning around 1890, Ruth Wymond began a boarding house on the southern side of
the residence. 164 This lasted until around 1898.165 In 1890-91, Charles Wymond, a hairdresser,
and George Wymond, a morocco dresser, were boarding with Ruth.166 The same year Alina
Sanborn, widow of Washington T., and a nurse, and Margaret Tuepken, widow of Dirk, lived on
the northern side.167

From 1890-91 to 1893-4, Dolly Watts, widow of Charles lived on the northern side.168 In
1893-4, Alice C. Hancock, widow of John E., lived in the northern side with Jesse E. Hancock, a
shoe cutter. 169
Mary Walsh, the widow of William, lived on the northern side from roughly 1893 to
1896 with her daughter, Anna T., a student.170 She may also be the Mary Welch listed in the
1890-1 directory in the same apartment.
The 1895-1896 Directory of Salem shows Melvin Kenney C. Kenney, a laster, living in
the northern side as well.171
In the 1897 Atlas of Salem, the property is still demarcated as if it were divided but the
entire house belongs to the J.W. Russell heirs.172
From 1897 to 1903, Sarah B. Brown, widow of Smith, lived on the northern side of the
house.173 In 1897, William T. Webb, lived on the southern side. He remained there until his
death, circa 1901,174 and his widow, Elizabeth E. Webb, continued to live in the house until
1903.175
James G. Beals, a laborer, lived on the northern side in 1901-2,176 and Mary E. Dominick, a
shoe worker, lived on the south side in the same year.177 In 1900, the south side was vacant and
Thomas H. McGrath, a printer who worked at 213 Essex Street, lived on the north side with
Brown and the Webbs.178

The 1903 Atlas of Salem shows the property as having a three-story main section, a north ell
2 stories tall, and a south ell with 2 sections, each 2 stories tall.179 The directory of 1903-4 lists on
the northern side: Sarah B. Brown, Joseph L. Gage, a signal repairer for the B&M Railroad, and
Elizabeth E. Webb.180 The same year, Etta J. Hamilton lived on the southern side.181
In 1906, Sidney Perley recorded the history of the house through deeds as part of his series
on the houses of Salem in 1700 in his journal, the Essex Antiquarian.182
In spite of Perley’s recognition of the house’s age, it was as little remarked upon in the early
twentieth century as it had been in the nineteenth. It does not appear on a 1905 map of Salem
landmarks, in Mary Harrod Northend’s Historic Homes of New England in 1914, in Selected
Interiors of the Old Houses in Salem and the Vicinity, published by Rogers and Manson in 1916,
nor in the Essex Institute Guide to Salem in 1922. Warren H. Butler’s whimsical 1930 map of
Salem Harbor in another time elides Daniels Street altogether and highlights the Zechariah White
house, pre-1700, at the southeastern corner of Hardy and Essex Street.183
On December 4th, 1904, Stephen Burger, his wife Rebecca S. Burger, and Sarah R. Dexter
mortgaged the property for $900 with the Salem Five Cents Savings Bank.184 The Burgers rented
the property to boarders, with each half of the house apparently subdivided farther into two
apartments. In 1903, the north side of the house (numbered 1 Daniels Street) was vacant, while
the south side was home to Mrs. Mary Condon, widow of John, and Joseph F. Walker, a
laborer.185 Walker lived in the house until 1908.186

In addition to Walker, the south side of the house was home to Sarah H. Finn, the widow of
John, in 1905,187 John F. Finn, perhaps back from the dead, from 1906 until 1910.188189

The 1911 Atlas still shows the property as belonging to the heirs of “John S. Russell.”194 The
1911 directory lists as residents Mary E. Jennings, the widow of John, and Arthur W. Burnham,
a shoe worker, both on the north side, and Edward J. Finn, who worked in Beverly, on the south
side.195 In 1912, Jennings, Burnham, and Finn remained, while Eddie G. Rondeau, a machinist
moved into the south side as well.196
Alexander W. MacNeill, a last maker, and his wife, Etta M. lived at 1 Daniels Street from
1913 until 1916. In the same span, other tenants shared the north side of the house with the
MacNeills: Newell B. Ordway, a lineman, in 1913,197 and Albert Marcoux, no profession listed,
in 1915. 198 In 1916, the north side was occupied by the MacNeills along with Esther B. Upton, a
widow of John. 199
The south side was occupied by David M. Haines, a carpenter, in 1913 and 1914,200 and
Charles W. Marchand, a carpenter, from 1914 to 1916.201202 Marchand died July 15, 1916.203

Abner C. Leland and then, Harry J. Leland, both shoemakers, lived on the south side in 1915 and
1916 successively.204205
In 1917, 1 Daniels Street was lived in by Charles H. Whipple, a worker at Central Wharf
on Derby Street.206 3 Daniels Street was the home to Frederick A. Brewer, a chauffeur, and his
wife, Caroline W. The following year, 3 Daniels was occupied by James J. Castin, a leather
worker.207 In 1920, George L. Beals, a lather, boarded at 1 Daniels along with Whipple.208
John R. Beals, also a lather, replaces George in 1921.209 In 1922, Sarah A. Hood lives at
number 3.210 In 1924, the north side of the house was occupied by John R. Beals and his wife,
Annie, and C.H. Whipple. Whipple had become a clerk at Commerical House at 173 Washington
Street. The south side was lived in by Margaret Wilson and Julia F. Rust, a saleswoman.211
In 1926, 1 Daniels Street was lived in by Annie Beals, now a widow, Charles H. and
Florence J. Whipple, and 3 Daniels Street was lived in by Margaret E. Wilson.212 By this time,
Charles Whipple had become an employee of the B&M Railroad. 213
In 1929, 1 Daniels Street was occupied by William Symonds, a laborer, and his wife,
Catherine.214
In September of 1932, the bank foreclosed on the house.215 Perhaps this was related to the
Great Depression, as 273,000 mortgages were foreclosed nationwide in 1932.216

In the early twentieth century, Daniels Street became a center for the community of
Polish immigrants in Salem. 9 Daniels Street, today the home of the Polish League of American
Veterans, became the home of the St. Joseph’s Society in 1928.217 In the 1935 poll listing, almost
every single person living on Daniels Street has a Polish last name. Of the residents, 61 were
housekeepers, 52 were shoe or leather workers, and 11 were “mill operatives.”218 For example,
the house at 5 Daniels Street was lived in by two Polish families, the Bachtas (Joseph, who
worked in a bleachery, and Victoria, a housekeeper) and the Kotulaks (Bronislaw, a
housekeeper; Bruce, a clerk; Stasia, a shoe worker; Walter, a clerk, and Wojciech, a mill
operative).219 Bruce and Walter Kotulak lived there until the early 1980s.220

Marietta B. Wilkins and Vacancy, 1933-1945
Marietta B. Wilkins purchased the property from Salem Five Cents Saving Bank in
February of 1933.221 Marietta had lived at 52 Essex Street in the home of Daniel Sage since 1902.
Her husband, S. Herbert Wilkins, was an owner of Briggs & Wilkins, “proprietors of dry and
fancy goods” at 221 Essex Street.222 Wilkins served as the president of the Women’s National
Missionary Association within the Universalist Church and as the editor of the Association’s
periodical, “The Women’s Missionary Bulletin.”223224 The Missionary Associated was founded in

1886 to “enlist the women of the Universalist Church in Massachusetts, in missionary work, in
the distribution of religious literature, in aiding deserving persons to obtain an education; and to
assist in such religious charities as the Society may find to be useful and expedient.”225 Marietta
was the first woman to attend the Northfield Conference, an ecumenical gathering of bible study
and lectures organized by the Young Men’s Christian Association beginning in the 1880s.226
Starting in 1916, Marietta Wilkins hosted Tei San Yasamura, a Japanese student from the
Blackmer Universalist Home in Tokyo, in her home (presumably 52 Essex Street). Yasamura
graduated from the New England Conservatory in 1920.227228
Wilkins also made contributions to historical preservation. In 1921, as president of the
Women’s National Missionary Association, she acquired the birthplace of Clara Barton in
Oxford, Massachusetts. The property was transformed into a museum, described by a
contemporary account as “a memorial home to be used as a resort for visitors.” Wilkins worked
to collect “mementos” relating to Barton and her work for the museum’s collection.229 The
museum is still operated by the Universalist Church today.230
In January and February 1922, Marietta organized an exhibit at the Art Institute of
Chicago of “costumes, shawls, bonnets, and other heirlooms of the colonial period, borrowed
from the leading families of Salem.” The Bulletin of the Art Institute of Chicago noted “The
objects, selected for their aesthetic rather than their historical value, will no doubt stimulate
greater interest in American costume in Chicago.”231

The 1938 Salem Atlas shows no fundamental changes to the house’s structure from how
it appeared in 1903.232 The Daniels House is listed as vacant in the polls listings from 1935 until
1946, and in the directories from 1930 until 1949.233234235236237 Longtime Salem resident Henry R.
Theriault (1918-2006), told stories about visiting the house when it was vacant, saying that the
door was unlocked and Salem children would just let themselves in to play.238
In the period it was vacant, the Daniels House started to accumulate more antiquarian
interest. Sidney Perley noted its history in the third volume of his History of Salem,
Massachusetts in 1928.239 The historian James Duncan Phillips mentions the house in his 1933
book Salem in the Seventeenth Century.240
In 1934, Arthur C. Haskell photographed the house for the Historic American Buildings
Survey (HABS). The HABS preserved 12 photographs by Haskell, three exterior and nine
interior, as well as measured drawings of the floorplan and some of the decorative elements.241
The first exterior view, taken of the façade from the southwest, shows the vacant house in
some distress. The clapboards are worn, many of the window panes appear to be dirty, a sign
reading “TRESPASSING FORBIDDEN” is attached to the southwest corner of the house, and a
low stake fence runs around the property with no opening, connecting directly to the end of
number 5 Daniels Street. Another view, from the northwest, reveals a plaque on the side of the
“February Exhibitions” Bulletin of the Art Institute of Chicago, Vol. XVI, No. 1. Electronic, p. 27.

house identifying it as the Stephen Daniel House, built 1693. The final exterior photograph
shows the back of the house from the northeast, revealing the shorter north ell before it was
expanded. The second floor of the north ell’s rear has two windows clustered against the north
side of the house, with a single window on the north side of the first floor.
In 1938, the northwestern-most corner of the Daniels House appears in a photograph by
Samuel Chamberlain in his book Historic Salem in Four Seasons: A Camera Impression. The
clapboarding and window framing appear in rough shape. Chamberlain calls the house “a veteran
of 1682.”242 In 1939, the parlor fireplace was featured in a White Pine Monograph by Frank
Chouteau Brown.243 Brown highlights the label molding and lack of mantel shelf.

The Hallers, 1945-1962
In August 1945, Theodore Perry Haller of Oregon City, Oregon, purchased the Daniels
House from Wilkins for “consideration paid.”244 The Hallers had previously lived in Astoria,
Oregon.245 Theodore was born in Blair, Nebraska to Theodore Haller (1842-1908) and Grace E.
Morgan Haller (1848-1932). Theodore’s grandfather, Jacob Haller (1809-1894) was born in
Switzerland and immigrated to East Troy, Wisconsin.246 Winifred Hannon was from Illinois.247
The Hallers married October 8th, 1912 in Lewistown, Montana.248

The Hallers first appear in the Poll Listing of 1949, Theodore P. Haller, aged 66, was
retired, and his wife, Winifred, aged 58, was at home. Mary Brown Allen, aged 70, and George
Gavin, a 32-year-old working in radio, were also listed in that year.249 The following year, Allen
and Gavin are not listed and Theodore Haller is listed as a tea house operator.250
In the 1940 Census, the Hallers were living in Oregon City, a few blocks from the
Willamette River. They lived at 719 Center Street in the historic home of Dr. Forbes Barclay
(1812-1873), a Scottish immigrant who arrived in Oregon City in 1850 and served as a doctor,
mayor, councilor, coroner, and superintendent of the public school, as noted on a plaque erected
outside the house in 1948.251 Today the Barclay House is used as offices and a gift shop by the
McLoughlin Memorial Association and the National Park Service. Next door, the home of Dr.
John McLouglin (1784-1857) is operated as National Historic Site.252
In 1940, Theodore (age 58) was working as an antiques dealer and Winifred (age 49) was
the proprietor of a restaurant. Their daughter, Corinne, was 10. A 20-year-old lodger, Theodore
Finck, worked as a waiter in the restaurant.253
In 1946, as the house was being prepared for the Hallers, a woman discovered an iron
blind or shutter hook of unknown age, today owned by Historic New England. A tag attached to
the hook reads,“Blind hook picked up by Ida D. Frazier May 3rd 1946 in Stephen Daniel's house
built in 1682 at the corner of Essex- Daniel Sts, in Salem, Massachusetts"
A further tag identifies the circumstances in which the hook was found and tells us how the
Hallers utilized the house: “while the workmen were cleaning the house for its new owner, a

The famed architectural photographer, Samuel Chamberlain, included six photos of the
house in his 1950 book, Salem Interiors. Chamberlain describes the house thus: “After many
vicissitudes this 17th-century dwelling has recently been restored and opened to the public as a
restaurant.” Concerning the age of the house, Chamberlain wrote, “It was originally built in 1667
by Stephen Daniel, mariner.”
The photos reveal the house as the Hallers decorated it with antiques.255 The dining room
contained an English oak dresser, c. 1700, with an exceptional collection of pewter, including
“plates, two sets of matched mugs, coffee urns, pitchers, candlesticks, and a rare hot-water
platter.” Another photograph of the dining room shows the curtains to be made of New England
drugget, c. 1825. There is an array of pewter in a corner cupboard, an old painted chest, and a
collection of nineteenth-century American chairs, including a child’s chair. The fireplace is
adorned with metalwork and some hanging Indian corn. There are at least three braided rugs with
floral and geometric patterns on the floor.
A detail of the left end of the kitchen lintel shows the initials carved into it, in the words
of Chamberlain, “a scarred oak lintel… liberally carved with initials…rich in the atmosphere of
pioneer days.” The kitchen fireplace is decorated with metalware, including pewter plates and
iron tools such as a shovel, toaster, roasting oven, and pots. The same rifle and powder horn and
sextant owned by Catherine Gill appear in the photograph as well.

The parlor is painted a dull green grey, with a painting of the “Sea Lark” and two
silhouettes by Peale and Brown. A similar painting of the Sea Lark (an 1852 clipper which
burned in 1863) by the British artist Duncan McFarlane (1818-1865), sold for $5,900 at
Northeast Auctions in 2010.256 The Brown referenced may be William Henry Brown (c. 18081883) was one of the major silhouette artists of nineteenth century America, though many of his
surviving silhouettes appear to be full length and the ones owned by the Hallers were only of
heads.257 The other items in the parlor are a sewing table, a bedwarmer, and a collection of
porcelain and Staffordshire.
In 1951 and 1952, Corinne Haller, a 20-year-old student is listed.258259 Corinne studied
cello at New England Conservatory. The Hallers were a musical family. Winifred was cellist as
well, and Theodore played the piano. Corinne Haller later married William Flavin and served as
the principal cellist of the New England Chamber Orchestra and as a freelance musician who
filled in for the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the Boston Pops, and on one occasion the
Metropolitan Opera Company. In 1982, Corinne Flavin was a founding member of the Brown
Bag Opera Company.260 Flavin performed under the direction of Igor Stravinsky and Aaron
Copland.
In 1958, Flavin played cello in the Harvard Musical Association’s premier of William
Overton Smith’s “Quartet for clarinet, violin, cello, & piano.”261 In 1970, the Harvard Crimson

noted her “especially good work” on The Concerto Grosso, Op. 6 No. 1 of Corelli performed by

about female musicians balancing work and family: “Corinne Flavin, a cellist from Milton,
Mass., uses her own ingenuity and combines it with a hobby – antiquing – to bring in extra
income.”262 Flavin passed away in 2004. A scrapbook of musical ephemera such as concert
programs was found in the Daniels House in 2019.
In 1956, Edgar F. Curtis, aged 73, is listed.263 The previous year he had been living at 31
Columbus Avenue with Florence E. Steves, aged 73 and retired, and Barry and Rosmond
Hancock, him a Canadian molder.264
In the poll listings of 1960, 1961, and 1962, Theodore Haller is identified as an

and attended the American Academy of Art in Chicago.
In 1970, the Salem directory identifies the Gills as proprietors of “The Stephen Daniels
House,” a restaurant and guest house.272 In 1972, Catherine Gill is listed as an “innkeeper” for the
first time in the poll listings.273 She was to remain in that capacity for 55 years. Catherine Gill
was often referred to by her nickname, Kay. In her self-description on Facebook in 2011, she
wrote: “I am the owner and Inn keeper of Salem’s most historic Inn. [It] was built in 1667 and
[has] been a bed and breakfast since 1945. I purchased the inn in 1962 and ran it as a B&B for 22
years.”274
As of its closure, The Daniels House maintained a 4.5 rating on Tripadvisor and a 4 on
Yelp. One review on Yelp, by Daisy M. in April 2013, describes her experience:
Built in the 17th century, it's three stories high and has nice, roomy guest bedrooms.
There's a lot of cool historical facts that our colorful hostess, Kay, pointed out. One of
its most notable features, the humongous fireplaces that were taller than me, made me
feel like I was on the set of The Crucible. We got the largest bedroom, the green room.
It was decorated as it would have been 300 years ago with cool/creepy little touches
everywhere--like the portraits of men and women whose stern stares seemed to follow us
around the room...and the eerie baby's cradle in the extremely large, attached bathroom. I
was expecting it to start rocking by itself...but, again, this all added to the fun. It was like
Halloween in April.
Kay is a tad on the elderly side and all the way on the deaf side...but she's a dear lady and
so sweet. She helpfully gave us a sightseeing map and even told me where I could find
some antique shops (we talked enough for her to find out about my antique addiction, but
she wasn't the overbearing type that traps you into long conversations either).
A user on Tripadvisor, Marciafl2, wrote of her experience in July 2017:
My daughter and I spent three nights in this living museum. The first two nights were
spent in the Great Room. This spacious and beautiful room offers everything you need
for a cozy night of rest. I wanted to take the soft bed sheets home with me! Before bed, I

the small bedroom and found it very comfortable. I didn’t want to get out of my bed in
the large bedroom!
The last night was spent in the upper-most room in the house. The Acorn room, which is
actually like a suite of rooms, is very private. There is a medium-sized bedroom, a small
bedroom, a private bathroom connected by a hallway with a small sitting area. The room
was gorgeous and serene with plenty of large antique chairs that I snuggled right into for
reading. My daughter and I slept soundly through the night.
After operating the Daniels House as an inn for over 55 years, Catherine “Kay” Gill
passed away at age 86 on March 19th, 2018.

XIV. Conclusion
Undoubtedly one of the oldest houses in Salem, The Daniels House was constructed by
Stephen Daniels I or Stephen Daniels II between 1667 and 1693. It is a largely original First
Period structure of great historic importance. For the first century and a half of its history, the
house was occupied by shipbuilders and carpenters, as is reflected in the fine paneling and

interior detail of various generations. Daniels and his son were both shipbuilders and mariners. In
the mid-1700s, Stephen Daniels II’s daughter Mary married into the Silsbee family and lived in
the house until 1803. Her son, Samuel Silsbee, was a carpenter who remodeled and enlarged the
house around the time of his marriage to Martha Prince in 1756.
Silsbee’s heirs divided the house into two properties, listed as numbers 1 and 3 Daniels Street
in the mid-1800s. When his daughters died in 1860s, the properties were sold to other families.
For about a century, the house endured what Samuel Chamberlain called in 1950 “many
vicissitudes.” It was subdivided into a double house of at least four apartments, served as a “day
nursery” and a boarding house, and had an ever rotating group of widows, laborers, railroad and
shoe workers living in it for the better part of fifty years. The house was vacant after a
foreclosure in the Great Depression for almost 20 years.
Afterwards it was loving cared for and filled with antiques by Theodore Perry and Winifred
Haller, who operated the first floor as a historic tea room. In 1962, the Hallers sold the house to
Thomas and Catherine Gill. Catherine “Kay” Gill collected a new treasury of antiques and
operated the house first as a bed and breakfast and then as an inn for 55 years until her death in
2018. In 2019, new owners hope to reopen the house as a bed and breakfast.
The long history (at least three centuries, likely three and a half) of the Daniels House has
made it home to various elements of the Salem story: the seventeenth and eighteenth century
maritime trades, the proliferation of organizations and societies in the nineteenth, the working
class and immigrant nature of the city in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the
growing pace of antiquarianism and preservation in the early twentieth century, and the growth
of tourism in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.
�47
The rotating private ownership and occupancy, coupled with the late appreciation of its
antiquarian character allowed the house to experience the twentieth century changes of Salem
more richly than other seventeenth-century buildings in the city, such as the John Ward House,
the House of the Seven Gables, or the Pickering House. In turn, that makes the survival of its
original elements all the more astonishing.
In addition to its exceptional architectural character and irreplaceable ancient details, this
house’s history makes it a true American gem. The Daniels House tells us what Salem has been,
almost back to the city’s beginning.

Frank F. Stanley of Swampscott, Trustee of the will of the late Nathaniel F. Goldsmith of Boston,
sold 11 Daniels Street to Wladsyslaw and Josephine Uszynski on November 30, 1920,
registered in book 2469, page 365. The land is defined as bound westerly by Daniels Street 97
feet; southerly by land of L.M. Wright and M.S. Frye, 102 feet; westerly by land of Sanborn and
Rideout, 106 feet; and northerly by land of Wiggin, 95 feet.
Salem Five Cents Savings Bank sold part of the property that became 11 Daniels Street to
Nathaniel F. Goldsmith on July 9, 1885, for $675.00, after George H. Frye defaulted on his
mortgage (see below), registered in book 1154, page 79. The land is defined as bound westerly
by Daniels Street 33 feet, 6.5 inches; southerly by the land of L.M. Wright and M.S. Frye, 102
feet, 6 inches; easterly by land of Sanborn and Rideout, 34 feet, 6 inches; and by land late of
Wiggin, now Goldsmith, 102 feet. The land had been conveyed to Goldsmith by George H. Frye
and Ezra L. Woodbury, excepting the property Goldsmith sold to A, Frank Hitchings.
Salem Five Cents Savings Bank foreclosed on George H. Frye’s mortgage on the property on
June 30, 1885, registered in book 1154, page 79.
Nathaniel F. Goldsmith sold part of the property he had purchased from Ezra L. Woodbury to A.
Frank Hitchings on June 6, 1883, for $750.00, registered in book 1110, page 31. This land was
bound southerly by Goldsmith’s own land; easterly by land of Rideout, northerly by Bentley
Street, and westerly by land of Smalley. This did not become part of the 11 Daniels Street lot.

Bank for $500.00 on October 19, 1882, registered in book 1093, page 260.
Ezra L. Woodbury, executor of the late Margaret Wiggin, sold the property at 9 Daniels Street,
including a “brick dwelling house and other buildings thereon,” to Nathaniel F. Goldsmith on
April 9, 1881, for $2800.00, registered in book 1055, page 172. The southerly portion of this
�land became part of the 11 Daniels Street lot, as shown above through Goldsmith’s sale of the
northerly portion to A. Frank Hitchings.
John N. Frye sold the same portion of land later mortgaged to the Salem Five Cents Savings
Bank to George Henry Frye, baker, on November 20, 1863, “with the buildings thereon,” for
$900.00, registered in book 658, page 286.
William Allen, mariner, and his wife Mary sold the property to John Nutton Frye, baker, on April
25, 1820, for $400.00, registered in book 223, page 247. The property was bound 33 feet, 6
inches by Daniels Street; 102 feet, 6 inches by the land formerly of Thomas Palfrey; 34 feet, 6
inches by Nathaniel Silsbee’s, formerly the orchard; and 58 feet, 2.5 inches by Peirce Wiggins’
property. As such, it is essentially the same land John N. Frye sold to George Henry Frye in
1863.
Susanna Richardson, widow, sold the property to William Allen on June 26, 1819, for $400.00,
registered in book 223, page 246. She signed the deed with her mark. Two months earlier,
Susanna Richardson conveyed another property on Hardy Street to William Allen “in
consideration of love affection and five dollars.” The property’s boundaries are the same that
William Allen sold to John N. Frye, and the deed states that the land was “assigned and set off
to Robert and Susanna Richardson under a warrant of partition” in 1807.
A committee of Richard Manning, John Harthorn [Hathorne] and John Osgood was appointed
upon the Court of Common Pleas’ determination in September 1806 that Susanna Richardson
should receive the right to “an undivided one-sixth of a dwelling house in said Salem commonly
called Graftons, and the garden and land thereunto belonging, including the northerly part of
what was formerly an orchard belonging to Warwick Palfrey.” The property was bound by
Daniels Street and land belonging to Joseph Waters, the late Samuel Silsbee, the late Rev.
James Deiman [Diman or Diamond], and the late Thomas Palfrey. The warrant was witnessed
by Timothy Pickering, Esq., on October 6, 1806. On December 24, 1806, the court divided
one-sixth of the “lands and tenements” to “said Richardson and Susanna his wife” and
described boundaries that match Susanna Richardson’s conveyance to William Allen. The
warrant is registered in book 181, page 235.
On March 31, 1789, an indenture was formed to create a “joint property with right of
survivorship” between Susanna, Mary, and Anne Grafton, singlewomen of Salem, and Jonathan
Gardner, merchant of Salem to act as Trustee. The property was left to Susanna, Mary, and
Anne by their deceased father, Joseph Grafton. The property described was large, with two
dwelling houses, and bordered Main [Essex] Street. Susanna Grafton may or may not be the
same person as Susanna Richardson. The creation of the trust was registered in book 149,
page 231.
On August 28, 1729, Joseph Grafton sold a parcel of land in Salem to “my brother William
Grafton sailmaker” for 130 pounds in Province Bills (Massachusetts currency), registered in
�book 52, page 82. The land was bound by “the lane of highway” and by land “formerly of Walter
Palfrey,” and included a house and barn. Without further research on the Grafton family and
their neighbors in the 18th century, it is not possible to know for sure whether part of this
property came down to Susanna Richardson and thus to the 11 Daniels Street plot.

Two Daniels Street
According to available evidence, this house was built in 1906 for Mrs.
Elizabeth Stevenson as the home of her son-in-law, Charles F. Brown, grocer,
and his family.
Around 1895 Charles Franklin Brown, 20, came to Salem from his home town of
Charlestown and went to work in the large grocery store of Cobb, Bates, and
Yerxa, at 176 Essex Street. He would eventually become a buyer for the store.
In 1898 or son he married Alice Stevenson of Salem, whose family owned houses
and a variety store (62 Essex) in this neighborhood. Her mother was Elizabeth
Stevenson, widow of David Stevenson, who resided at 60 Essex Street. Mrs.
Stevenson had purchased the house at 59 Essex Street in 188l(ED 1164:220), and
its lot included the land that would later become the lot for this #2 Daniels Street.
At that time ( 1881) a carriage house stood on the site of the present house.
By 1904, the C.F. Browns (with son Chester, four) resided at 58 Essex Street (at
that time, Mr. Brown was known as C. Frank Brown and was listed as grocery
clerk). The same was true in 1905 (see Salem Directory listings). In 1906, C.
Frank Brown and family were listed at Two Daniels Street (see Salem Directory),
as they would be for years to come. The Salem Real Estate Assessments show
Charles F. Brown first paying taxes on Two Daniels Street in 1907 (Ward One,
precinct Two). From this, it is possible to say that the house was built in 1906 for
the C.F. Brown family and that it stood on the land of his mother-in-law, Mrs.
Elizabeth Stevenson, who evidently paid for the construction of the house, while
Mr. Brown paid the taxes on it.
In 1907 a daughter, Dorothy, was born to the Browns. At about that time, Mr.
Brown was promoted from clerk to buyer at the grocery business where he had
been working for 12 years (see advertisement from 1905 Salem Directory,
appended).
In 1910 (per census, 2 Daniels St., house 66, ward one) the residents here were
Charles Brown, 35, buyer, grocery, married 12 years, Alice 35, son Chester, ten,
daughter Dorothy, three. At that time the house at 59 Essex Street was a three-
1
�family tenement. Four and Six Daniels Street were occupied by Canadian
carpenters and their families.
Salem was vibrant in 1910. Retail stores-like the grocery where Mr. Brown
worked--prospered, and machinists, carpenters, millwrights, and other specialists
all thrived. In the late 1800s, French-Canadian families began coming to town to
work in Salem's mills and factories, and more houses and tenements filled in what
had been open areas of the city. They were followed in the early 20th century by
large numbers of Polish and Ukrainian families, who settled primarily in the Derby
Street neighborhood. By the eve of World War One, Salem was a bustling,
polyglot city that supported large department stores and large factories of every
description. Its politics were lively, and its economy was strong.
In 1914, Mrs. Elizabeth Stevenson died. That was the year of the Great Salem
Fire. On June 25, 1914, in the morning, in Blubber Hollow (Boston Street opposite
Federal), a fire started in one of Salem's tanneries, as happened from time to time.
This fire soon raced out of control, for the west wind was high and the season had
been dry. The next building caught fire, and the next, and out of Blubber Hollow
the fire advanced easterly, a monstrous front of flame and smoke, wiping out the
houses of Boston and Essex Streets and upper Broad Street and sweeping through
Hathorne, Winthrop, Endicott, and other residential streets, then attacking South
Salem and destroying the homes on and near Lafayette Street before raging
through the tenement district. Despite the combined efforts of heroic fire crews
from many towns and cities, the fire could not be turned: it smashed into the large
factory buildings of the Naumkeag Steam Cotton Company (Congress Street), ·
which exploded in an inferno; and it rolled down Lafayette Street and across the
water to Derby Street, where the fire was finally halted, just beyond Union Street,
after a 13-hour rampage. The conflagration had consumed 250 acres, 1600 houses,
and 41 factories, leaving three dead and thousands homeless. Some had insurance,
some did not; all received much support and generous donations from all over the
country and the world. It was one of the greatest urban disasters in the history of
the United States, and the people of Salem would take years to recover from it.
Eventually, they did, and many of the former houses and businesses were rebuilt;
and several urban-renewal projects (including Hawthorne Boulevard, which
involved removing old houses and widening old streets) were put into effect.
With the Fire and the death of Mrs. Stevenson, the Browns decided to move. In
1914 this house and the house at 59 Essex Street were sold together to Wojciech &
Mary Piekos (ED 2260:492). The Browns moved to One Buffum Street in North
Salem. There they would live together for seven years, until the death of Mr.
2
�Brown on 9 May 1921, aged just 45 years. The Salem Evening News ran the
following obituary: "Charles Franklin Brown died at home, One Buffum Street,
yesterday after a long illness, in his 46th year. Born in Charlestown, he was the son
of Charles W. Brown & Lucy F. Mitchell. For 25 years he was employed by
Cobb, Bates, Y erxa. He was a member of Starr King Lodge, AF & AM, the Now
and Then Association, and the Washington Associates. He leaves his widow Alice
P. (Stevenson) Brown, son Chester, daughter Dorothy, mother & father."
In 1914, this house was listed as vacant, but in 1915 it was a two-family, occupied
by two widows, Mrs. Hannah Goucher and Mrs James H. (Margaret F. J.)
Redmond. In 1917 Mrs. Goucher resided here. (see Salem Directory listings).
In 1920 (per census, 2 Daniels St., house 51, ward one) the house was occupied by
the extended Freeman family: Thomas J. Freeman, 57, was a janitor at a cotton
mill (no doubt at the Naumkeag Steam Cotton Mills, off Congress Street) and had
come to the U.S. in 1887 from his native Ireland. He resided here with his wife
Bridget, 55, born Ireland, their three daughters (born in Mass.) Frances, 28, a
housekeeper, Mary, 25, a dressmaker, and Elizabeth, 23, a payroll clerk at shoe
factory; Mrs. Freeman's brother, Luke Durkin, 49, a brass polisher in a foundry;
and little boarders Darce Deanio, 7, and Margaret Quinlan, 7. By the 1920s, Salem
was once again a thriving city; and its tercentenary in 1926 was a time of great
celebration.
The property here was subdivided in 1950, and since that time this house and its
lot, fronting 34.40' on Daniels Street, have been a separate homestead.
Salem boomed right through to the 1960s, but the arrival of suburban shopping
malls and the relocation of manufacturing businesses took their toll, as they have
with many other cities. More than most, Salem has navigated its way forward into
the present with success, trading on its share of fame arising from the
commercialization of the witchcraft delusion, but also from its great history as an
unrivalled seaport and as the home of Hawthorne and Mcintire. Most of all, it
remains a city where the homes of the old-time merchants, mariners, and milloperatives are all honored as a large part of what makes Salem different from any
other place.

2 Daniels St.,
Salem Massachusetts
Built Circa 1906-1910
July 15, 2000
Prepared by Sean Patrick Maher
�2 Daniels St. is located in one of the oldest areas in Salem. Much of the
settlements early growth was in the area between Essex St. (then Main St.) to the
waterfront, and from the beginning of Salem Neck to where New Derby St. meets
Washington St.. As the area surrounding Salem was wilderness, full of animals, and still
occupied by the Indians, the heart of the town was in this area.
The street itself is one of the first in the city, and has been referred to by several
names over the course of its history. It is first called Ye Highway or Lane in 1661,
Highway by the Waterside in 1669, Ye Street or Lane in 1672, Lane or Highway in 1699,
Ingersoll's Lane in 1679, Daniel's Lane in 1742, and Daniels St. by 1769. Later in 186470, it is sometimes referred to as Wharf St. 1
The Ingersoll family was granted most of the land on the westerly side of Daniels
St. early on by the town, and by 1700 many homes had been erected on the street. Sidney
Perley has documented 12 houses on the easterly and 5 on the westerly side of Daniels
2
St.. In those days, Daniels St. ended where present day Derby St. is, which was then
waterfront. Where Daniels St. extension now is, on the southerly side of Derby St., was
located a point of land that extended out into the harbor. Several housed had been built
on this point during the colony's early days, but a storm in 1690 washed away the point
3
and the houses. As the wharves were extended, and the need for waterfront land
increased, the areas in between the old wharves was filled, creating the land that is there
now.

�Nathaniel Ingersoll, a very active and respected member of Salem colony, owned
the land that 59 Essex St. and 2 Daniels St. now occupy. In the 1670's, Nathaniel owned
one of several unlicensed alehouses that were active in Salem at this time. Nathaniel was
one of the few to be granted a legal license by the town selectmen, which he retained
until 1691. 4 When the witch hysteria erupted in 1692, Nathaniel Ingersoll's former
alehouse was intended to be the site of the examinations of the accused, but it was later
decided to hold them at the meeting house. 5
During the 18th Century, Salem increased in both size and importance as a
seaport. More homes and wharves were erected in the area as the old planter's estates
were broken up. A division began to develop in the town between the wealthy and the
poor. The wealthy began building their fine homes along the part of Essex St. west of
Hawthorne Blvd., on what is now called Upper Essex. East of Hawthorne Blvd., or
Lower Essex, became the home of the sailors and poorer residents of the town. 6
Scant information is available for the 59 Essex-2 Daniels St. property during the
18th Century. James Duncan Phillips' map of Salem in 1760, which is based on the
research of Sidney Perley, shows the property as encompassing roughly the same
dimensions as it did in 1950, but gives no information of who owned it at that time. It is
likely the property changed hands frequently once it left the Ingersolls due to the influx
of people and the development of the area.
In 1881, Mrs. Elizabeth Stevenson acquired the 59 Essex St. lot at a public
auction for $3 ,200 from Charles A. Putnam, who was acting in the interests of Anna M.

�Upton, who had gone insane.7 Mrs. Stevenson owned several properties along Essex St.,
including a house and cent shop located at 60 Essex St. Mary Northend refers to Mrs.
Stevenson's cent shop in her book, Memories of Old Salem. Pictures 2 and 4 show the
cent shop in the late 19th Century.
The iot of 59 Essex St. included the area 2 Daniels St. now occupies. The exact
date of construction for the house on 2 Daniels St. is not clear. An 1874 map of the city
shows a carriage house to the rear of 59 Essex which fronted on Daniels St. The carriage
house is visible in a circa 1890's picture of the Daniels House, labeled 3. An 1897 map
of the city shows 59 Essex, but lacks both the carriage house and 2 Daniels. The city
directory for 1900 lists a 2 Daniels, but the tax records for Mrs. Stevenson in 1900 list
only one dwelling house at the 59 Essex St. lot, and none for 2 Daniels. It is possible that
the 2 Daniels address refers at this time to the rear portion of 59 Essex, which had been
broken up into tenements. 2 Daniels is also absent from both the 1905 taxes for Mrs.
Stevenson and the 1906 city map. The present dwelling first makes a visible appearance
on the 1910 taxes and the 1911 map of the city, under the ownership of.Mrs. Stevenson.
It is probable that Ivirs. Stevenson built the house between 1906 and 1910.
In 1914, upon the death of Mrs. Stevenson, the executor of her estate, William D.
Chapple, sold the lot with both houses to Wojciech and Mary Piek-0s for $1. 8 Mary
Piekos inherited the land upon her husband's death and sold it to Dorothy Clark, of
Marblehead in June of 1950 for $2,000. 9 Dorothy Clark broke the property into two
separate lots, as shown on the surveyor's report for 1950, which is enclosed. Lot A, or 2
Daniels, was sold back to Mary and Genevieve Piekos in July of 1950 for less than

�$100. 10 In March of 1958, for an undisclosed amount, Mary and Genevieve Piekos sold 2
Daniels to Peter S. and Marion S. Whitaker ofMarblehead. 11 Mr. and Mrs. Whitaker
sold the land in June of 1961 to Andrziej T. and Rita C. Malionik. 12 In April of 1966,
J\.1r. and Mrs. Malionik sold the lot to George E. and Joyce E. Merrit.
13
Ellsworth P. and
Carol B. Landry ofDanvers bought the property from the Merrits in 1968. 14 TheLandrys
held the property until 1977, when it was sold to Duane M. and Doris Eagen of
Marblehead for $21,000. 15 In September of 1984, it was sold to Duane M. Eagen, of
Norman, Oklahoma for nominal consideration.
16
In September of 1987, Mr. Eagen sold
the lot to Constantinos Georgakis of Beverly for $129,250. 17 Mary A. Corona bought the
land for $155,000 in February of 1988. 18 In November of 1992, Mark W. Bowen
purchased the lot for $90,000 from Ms. Corona. 19 And in May of 1996, Anne Golden,
the requester of this history, purchased the lot and house for $139, 000.

Five Daniels Street
Salem
Built for
Capt. Edward Stanley
ship master
& wife Esther Waters Stanley
c.1805
Copy of print of Friendship, commanded by Capt. Edward Stanley
�House at Five Daniels Street, Salem
By Robert Booth for Historic Salem Inc.
According to available evidence, this house was built for Capt.
Edward Stanley, shipmaster, and his wife Esther Waters Stanley,
circa 1805.
On June 7, 1805, Joseph Waters, Salem merchant, for $800 sold to
Edward Stanley, Salem mariner, "a piece ofland" bounded west 37'
on DanielsStreet,north 85' 6" on landof Silsbeeheirs,east40' 6"
on land of heirs ofPalfray, and 85' on other land (ED 178:159). On
this lot, Captain Stanley caused this house to be built. The identity of
the contractor is unlmown.
Edward Stanley (I 780-1849) was born in England; 1 but details of his
early life are now obscure. By some means, he came to Salem and
was able to rise to the rank of shipmaster-despite great
competition-and win command of merchant vessels. The Salem to
which he came had become a commercial empire, led by Basket
Derby, the merchant who opened trade with the Orient. More than
one hundred tall ships were involved. By the 1790s, the new foreigntrade markets-and the coffee trade, which would be opened in 1798
with Mocha, Arabia-brought great riches to the Salem merchants,
and raised the level of wealth throughout the town: new ships were
bought and built, more crews were formed with more shipmasters,
new shops and stores opened, new partnerships were formed, and
new people moved to town. In 1792 Salem's first bank, the Essex
Bank, had been founded, although it "existed in experiment a long
time before it was incorporated," per Rev. William Bentley. From a
population of792 l in 1790, the town would grow by 1500 persons
in a decade. At the same time, thanks to the economic policies of
Alexander Hamilton, Salem vessels were able to transport foreign
cargoes and serve as the neutral carrying fleet for both Britain and
France, which were at war with each other.
In the late 1790s, there was agitation in Congress to go to war with
France, which was at war with England. After President Adams'
1
That he was born in England is noted at the time of his death in I 849 in Salem Vital Records; there were
other "Stanleys" in Salem, but they were actually Standleys, descendants of a Beverly man of that name;
and occasionally CaptainStanley's name was writtenStandley. For a while, there was an EdwardStandley
in Salem as well as Edward Stanley.
�negotiators were rebuffed by the French leaders in 1797, a quasi-war
with France began in summer, 1798, much to the horror of Salem's
George Crowninshield family (father and five shipmaster sons),
which had an extensive trade with the French, and whose ships and
cargos in French ports were susceptible to seizure. The quasi-war
brought about a political split within the Salem population. Those
who favored war with France (and detente with England) aligned
themselves with the national Federalist party, led by Hamilton and
Salem's Timothy Pickering (the U.S. Secretary of State). These
included most of the merchants, led locally by the Derby family.
Those who favored peace with republican France were the AntiFederalists, who later became aligned with Jefferson and his
Democratic-Republican party; they were led locally by the
Crowninshields. For the first few years of this rivalry, the Federalists
prevailed; but after the death of Hasket "King" Derby in 1799 his
family's power weakened.
In 1799 the Federalists of Salem clubbed together and built a frigate,
the Essex, for the federal government, to be used in the war with
France. The superintendent was Capt. Joseph Waters of Salem. In
that same year, Salem sent out privateers, including the 139-ton
armed brigantine Cicero, 69' in length, with 6 guns and 12 men,
owned hy Billy Gray, commanded by Nathaniel Skinner, first mate
John Dixey, second mate Edward Standley, who may the ES of this
house (EIHC 71:122).
In 1800, Adams negotiated peace with France and fired Pickering for
fomenting war. Salem's Federalists merchants erupted in anger,
expressed through their newspaper, the Salem Gazette. At the same
time, British vessels began to harass American shipping. Salem
owners bought more cannon and shot, and kept pushing their trade to
the farthest ports of the rich East, while also maintaining trade with
the Caribbean and Europe. Salem cargos were exceedingly valuable,
and Salem was a major center for distribution of merchandise
throughout New England: "the streets about the wharves were alive
with teams loaded with goods for all parts of the country. It was a
busy scene with the coming and going of vehicles, some from long
distances, for railroads were then unknown and all transportation
must be carried on in wagons and drays. In the taverns could be seen
teamsters from all quarters sitting around the open fire in the chilly
evenings, discussing the news of the day or making merry over
2
�potations of New England rum, which Salem manufactured in
abundance. "2
The Crowninshields, led by brother Jacob, were especially
successful, as their holdings rose from three vessels in 1800 to
several in 1803. Their bailiwick, the Derby Street district, seemed
almost to be itself imported from some foreign country: in the stores,
parrots chattered and monkeys cavorted, and from the warehouses
wafted the exotic aromas of Sumatran spices and Arabian coffee
beans and Caribbean molasses. From the wharves were carted all
manner of strange fruits, and crates of patterned china in red and
blue, and piles of gorgeous silks and figured cloths, English leather
goods, and hundreds of ban-els of miscellaneous objects drawn from
all of the ports and workshops of the world. The greatest of the
Salem merchants at this time was William "Billy" Gray, who by
1808 owned 36 large vessels-15 ships, 7 barks, 13 brigs, and one
schooner. Salem was then still a town, and a small one by our
standards, with a total population of about 9,500 in 1800.
Its politics were fierce, and polarized everything. The two factions
attended separate churches, held separate parades, and suppmied
separate schools, military companies, and newspapers. Salem's
merchants resided mainly on two streets: Washington (which ended
in a wharf on the Inner Harbor, and, above Essex, had the Town
House in the middle) and Essex (particularly between what are now
Hawthorne Boulevard and North Street). The East Parish (Derby
Street area) was for the seafaring families, shipmasters, sailors, and
fishennen. In the 1790s, Federal Street, known as New Street, had
more empty lots than fine houses. Chestnut Street did not exist: its
site was a meadow. The Common was not yet Washington Square,
and was covered with hillocks, small ponds and swamps, utility
buildings, and the alms-house. As the 19th century advanced,
Salem's commercial prosperity would sweep almost all of the great
downtown houses away (the brick Joshua Ward house, built 1784, is
a notable exception).
The town's merchants were among the wealthiest in the country. In
Samuel McIntire, they had a local architect who could help them
realize their desires for large and beautiful homes in the latest style.
While a few of the many new houses went up in the old EssexWashington Street axis, most were erected on or near Washington

�Square or in the Federalist "west end" (Chestnut, Federal, and upper
Essex Streets). The Adamesque architectural style (often mis-labeled
as "Federal") had been developed by the Adam brothers in England
and featured fanlight doorways, palladian windows, elongated
pilasters and columns, and large windows. It was introduced to New
England by Charles Bulfinch in 1790. The State House in Boston
was his first institutional composition; and soon Beacon Hill was
being built up with handsome residences in the Bulfinch manner.
Samuel McIntire ( 1757-1811 ), who was self-educated and who made
his living primarily as a wood-carver and carpenter, was quick to
adapt the Bulfinch style to Salem's larger lots. Mcintire's first local
composition, the Jerathmeel Peirce house ( on Federal Street),
contrasts with his later Adamesque designs. In place of walls of
wood paneling, there now appeared plastered expanses painted in
bright colors or covered in bold wallpapers. The Adam style put a
premium on handsome casings and carvings of central interior
features such door-caps and chimney-pieces (Mcintire's specialty).
On the exterior, the Adam style included elegant fences; and the
houses were often built of brick, with attenuated porticoes and, in the
high style, string courses, swagged panels, and even two-story
pilasters. The best example of the new style was the Elias Basket
Derby house, co-designed by Bulfinch and McIntire, and built on
Essex Street in 1797-8 (demolished in 1815), on the site of today's
Town House Square.
A new bank, the Salem Bank, was formed in 1803, and there were
two insurance companies and several societies and associations. The
fierce politics and commercial rivalries continued. The ferment of
the times is captured in the diary of Rev. William Bentley, bachelor
minister of Salem's East Church and editor of the Register
newspaper. His diary is full of references to the civic and
commercial doings of the town, and to the lives and behaviors of all
classes of society. He had high hopes for the future of a republican
America, with well educated citizens. He observed and fostered the
transition in Salem, and wrote in his diary (2 Dec. 1806), "While
Salem was under the greatest aristocracy in New England, few men
thought, and the few directed the many. Now the aristocracy is gone
and the many govern. It is plain it must require considerable time to
give common knowledge to the people."
Edward Stanley was prospering as a mariner; and by 1802 he was
affluent enough to court Esther Waters, the daughter of a well-to-do
4
�merchant residing in the East parish, or Lower End. On June 12,
1803, Edward Stanley and Esther Waters were married.
Esther Waters (1785-1872)was born 31 July 1785, the daughter of
Joseph Waters, merchant, and his wife Mary. Her grandfather
Benjamin Waters of Boston had moved to Salem as a young man
and in 1745 had married Esther Gilbert oflpswich. They resided
along Bridge Street in the old Massey house, per the minister of the
East Church (Unitarian), Rev. William Bentley, whose meeting
house stood on Essex at Hardy Street in the Lower End. Benjamin
was a baker by trade, and an innholder, and kept the ferry to Beverly
before 1788 (when the bridge was built) at the end of what is now
Bridge Street. This couple had two daughters and one son, Joseph
Waters. Old Mrs. Esther Gilbert Waters was still alive in 1803, when
her namesake married Captain Stanley.
Esther's father, Capt. Joseph Waters, was a merchant ship-owner. He
lived in the Lower End, and attended Bentley's Unitarian church,
and so the family is mentioned in Bentley's diary until the minister's
death in I 8 I 9. Joseph Waters married Mary Dean in 1782, during
the Revolutionary War; and they would have ten children, of whom
Esther was the first, probably born in 1783 and baptized at the East
Church with sister Mary on 31 July 1785.

Gilbert, died February 1833, aged 75 years. Hem. 2 July 1782

On Union Street, not far from Bentley's church, on the fourth of
July, 1804, was born a boy who would grow up to eclipse all sons of
5
�Salem in the eyes of the world: Nathaniel Hawthorne, whose father
would die of fever while on a voyage to the Caribbean in 1808. This
kind of untimely death was all too common among Salem's young
seafarers, who fell prey to malaria and other diseases of the
Caribbean and Pacific tropics.
It was at just this time ( 1806) that the British changed their policy
toward American shipping, and no longer respected Americanflagged vessels as neutral carriers. This disastrous policy change
came just as the Derbys extended their wharf far out into the harbor
to create more space for warehouses and ship-berths in deeper water.
The Crowninshields had recently built their great India Wharf at the
foot of now-Webb Street. The other important wharves were
White's, Forrester's (now Central, just west of Derby Wharf), and
Union Wharf at the foot of Union Street. Farther to the west, smaller
wharves extended into the South River, all the way to the foot of
Washington Street. Each had a warehouse or two, and shops for
artisans (coopers, blockmakers, joiners, etc.). The waterfront
between Union Street and Washington Street also had lumber yards
and several ship chandleries and distilleries, with a Market House at
the foot of Central Street, below the Custom House. The wharves
and streets were crowded with shoppers, gawkers, hawkers, sailors,
artisans ("mechanics"), storekeepers, and teamsters; and just across
the way, on Stage Point along the south bank of the South River,
wooden barks and brigs and ships were being built in the shipyards.
Beginning late in 1806, Salem's commerce with the world was
repeatedly interrupted by the British navy, which intercepted neutral
trading vessels and often impressed American sailors into their
service. France, at war with Britain, countered with its own adverse
policy toward American shipping; and virtually ovemight Salem's
fleet found it much harder to operate freely as neutral shippers for
the European nations. Salem and other American ports continued to
push their trade into the oceans of the worlds, but now with the
expectation that they would have to fight their way across the seas
and into and out of foreign ports.
Within the Waters family, sister Lucia, about sixteen, died at
Beverly in late May, 1804, and she was buried from the home of
Hon. Nathan Dane, whose wife she had probably served as a
mother's helper. Despite the need to observe custom and wait with
the mourners for an hour, Bentley found that "the procession was
numerous and solemn, and a proper respect was shown to the
6
�deceased." In general, he stayed away from Beverly, where, he
observed, "the spirit of (religious) fanaticism has seized this
town"-it was the time of the so-called Second Great Awakeningso that "the extreme ignorance which is general in this place must
render them sure victims of their superstition and render it of the
most degrading character." Salem too felt the impact of itinerant
preachers, mainly evangelicals, who came to town and held
nighttime revival meetings which tended to attract the "primitive and
superstitious" members of the working classes, per Bentley, who
also observed the doings of new sects like the Methodists,
Universalists, and Baptists, all of whom opened meeting houses at
this time. Salem also had three Unitarian congregations, and three
post-Puritan Trinitarian congregations, as well as an Episcopal
church, a Quaker meeting, and informal Catholic gatherings.
In April, 1805, Esther's father, Capt. Joseph Waters, purchased (for
$40 IO) the Dean estate on the north side of Derby Street, corner of
Turner. The house had long been neglected; in 1783, when Bentley
first came to Salem, it had been "the best house as to appearance
which was in that part of the town" (Bentley, 9 April 1805). Captain
Waters restored it to former grandeur.
On 7 July 1805, in church, Rev. Mr. Bentley received a note from
Esther Stanley to commemorate the death of a sister at Ipswich, and
to pray for her husband and brother at sea. At that time, Captain
Stanley was master of the 170-ton brig Commerce, which had
cleared in February, 1805, on a voyage to the West Indies, with first
mate Robert Pease and crew of eight. Edward Stanley returned
safely and next went out in command of the 59-ton schooner Sally,
to the West Indies, in 1806, with mate Joseph Cook and four-man
crew. In May, 1807, he went out again as master of the 136-ton brig
Mary & Allen for St. Thomas, in the Caribbean, with mate Charles
Beck and crew ofsix. 3
Old Mrs. Esther Gilbert Waters died at the age of 88 years on Sept.
13, 1807, probably of the influenza.
Salem's twenty-year boom came to an end with a crash in
December, 1807, when Jefferson and the Congress imposed an
embargo on all shipping in hopes of forestalling war with Britain.
The Embargo, which was widely opposed in New England, proved
3

7
�futile and nearly ruinous in Salem, where commerce ceased. As a
hotbed of Democratic-Republicanism, Salem's East Parish and its
seafarers, led by the Crowninshields, loyally supported the Embargo
until it was lifted in spring, I 809. Shunned by the other Salem
merchants for his support of the Embargo, the eminent Billy Gray
took his large fleet of ships-fully one-fourth of Salem's tonnageand moved to Boston, whose commerce was thereby much
augmented. Gray's removal eliminated a huge amount of Salem
wealth, shipping, import-export cargos, and local employment. Gray
soon switched from the Federalist party, and was elected Lt.
Governor on a ticket with Gov. Elbridge Gerry, a native of
Marblehead.
In March, 1809, Captain Stanley subscribed $10 to repair the East
Parish meeting house, an effort led by Capt. Joseph White. Shortly
after, on March 17, Esther's sister-in-law, Elizabeth Becket Waters,
27, died-a sad story was related by Bentley in his diary. She was
the "daughter ofmy old friend Capt. John Becket. She married a
worthless young man (Benjamin Waters) of whom the world had
good hopes and who had ample mans of being happy. A separation
by the consent of all the friends on both sides ensued and he
withdrew from the town. She lingered in consumption and died. Her
form was excellent, her wit pure and inexhaustible. Her disposition
kind and her temper always at command. All were her friends ... "
Salem's commerce with the world was repeatedly interrupted by the
British, which intercepted neutral trading vessels and often
impressed American sailors into their navy. During this perios,
Edward Stanley was often at sea, on voyages to Cuba, to Brazil, and
to Russia. In June 1809, he commanded the 92-ton schooner Betsey,
bound for Havana with mate Joseph Cook, 35, and six men. John
Gardner, owner of one of the finest mansions in Salem 4, liked
Captain Stanley's work, and sent him back out in February, 1810,
commanding the 281-ton brig New Hazard, bound for Rio de
Janeiro, with mate Jacob Clarke, 25, and a 13-man crew. His next
voyage was undertaken for Peirce & Waite, in command of their fine
342-ton East Indiaman, the Friendship, a veteran of 17 voyages,
some to the Orient. In April, 1811, Captain Stanley, mate David
Thomas, and I 7 crewmen cleared away for the Russian port of
Archangel. She would never retum. 5

�Early in 1812 the Waters family experienced another severe loss.
Capt. Thomas Dean had married Joseph Waters' sister Lydia in
1784, and they had a family of children. On Feb. 2, 1812 "the
worthy Mrs. Lydia Dean" died, leaving two children surviving,
Thomas, 25, and Lydia, 21. Bentley noted that Lydia would
thenceforward reside with her aunt Esther Waters Stanley. Lydia
Dean would marry Capt. James Cheever Jr. in July, 1815, perhaps at
this house. Her brother Thomas Dean named one of his sons
"Edward Stanley" (baptized 1818), as would her cousin Joseph G.
Waters.
Despite many warnings and negotiations, the British refused to alter
their policies regarding freedom of the seas. President Madison,
pushed hard by the war-hawks of the West, had few choices, and in
June, 1812, he and Congress declared against Britain. One
consequence was that Captain Stanley, returning from Archangel
(and probably unaware of the state of war) was captured by the
Royal Navy in September, 1812; and the Friendship was condemned
at Plymouth as a prize of war in December (seep. 21, G.G. Putnam,
set 1, Salem Vessels & Their Voyages).
Although the merchants had tried to prevenl the war, when it came,
Salem swiftly fitted out 40 privateers manned by Marblehead and
Salem crews, who also served on U.S. Navy vessels, including the
frigate Constitution. Many more local vessels could have been sent
against the British, but some of the Federalist merchants held them
back. In addition, Salem fielded companies of infantry and artillery.
Salem and Marblehead privateers were largely successful in making
prizes of British supply vessels. While many of the town's men were
wounded in engagements, and some were killed, the possible riches
of privateering kept the men returning to sea as often as possible.
The first prizes were captured by a 30-ton converted fishing
schooner, the Fame, and by a 14-ton luxury yacht fitted with one
gun, the Jefferson. Of all Salem privateers, the Crowninshields' 350ton ship America was most successful: she captured 30-plus prizes
worth more than $1,100,000.
Salem erected forts and batteries on its Neck, to discourage the
British warships that cruised these waters. On land, the war went
poorly for the United States, as the British captured Washington and
burned the Capitol and the White House. Along the western frontier,
U.S. forces were successful against the weak English forces; and, as
9
�predicted by many, the western expansionists had their day. At sea,
as time wore on, Salem vessels were captured, and its men
imprisoned or killed.
Edward Stanley, though born in England, was a trusted warrior in
the cause against Britain. In 1813 he had raised a company of sea
fencibles, and served as their lieutenant commanding, drilling them
in the use of artillery and close marching (per Bentley). He also
shipped out in privateers, and was captured by the summer of 1813,
at which time his minister, Mr. Bentley, was writing on his behalf to
the Secretary of State, Madison, to effect an exchange; and by
September he was back in town (ibid) and was a co-owner, with
Henry White Jr. and Sam Lamson, of the 6-ton privateer boat
Holkar, only 30' long and 5'6" in beam, carrying 16 men with their
muskets-but they took no prizes (EIHC 79: 155).
After almost three years, the war was bleeding the town dry.
Hundreds of Salem men and boys were in British prison-ships and at
Dartmoor Prison in England. At the Hartford Convention in 1814,
New England Federalist delegates met to consider what they could
do to bring the war to a close and to restore the region's commerce.
Sen. Timothy Pickering of Salem, the leader of the extreme
Federalists, did not attend; and the Convention refrained from
issuing ultimatums. Nevertheless, it signaled the beginning of the
end for the national Federalist party.
At last, in February, 1815, peace was restored. There was jubilation
in the streets; and the East Meeting House was beautifully
illuminated at night, including two transparencies executed by
Captain Stanley and two others: one at the belfry, with a "sun and
Glory to God" and one on the porch, with the "arms of the U.S.
emblazoned Madison & Peace."
Captain Stanley evidently went to Portsmouth, NH, and sailed the
prize ship Antigua back to Salem, to go into service in the fleet of
Nathaniel West. Captain Stanley was given command of the brig
Neva bound for St. Petersburg, with mate Nathaniel Cleaves and a
crew of eleven. Mr. Bentley gave him a packet of antiquarian papers
to deliver to Bentley's great friend, Prof. Ebeling, at Elsinor in
Denmark; and the Neva sailed at the end of May, 1815 (per Bentley).
Captain Stanley was back in Salem a year later and was given
command of the ship Messenger, bound for Europe with a crew of
16 men. They probably traded at multiple ports.
10
�It seems that this was Capt. Edward Stanley's last voyage, and that
he "swallowed the anchor" and went into business as a merchant in
1817.
Post-war, America was flooded with British manufactured goods,
especially factory-made knock-offs of the beautiful Indian textiles
that had been the specialty of Salem importers for 30 years. Britain,
dominant in India, had forced the Indians to become cotton-growers
rather than cloth-producers; and the cheap Indian cotton was shipped
to the English industrial ports and turned into mass-produced cloth.
American national policy-makers reacted, in 1816, by passing a high
tariff on cheap imported textiles, in order to protect and encourage
America's own budding manufacturing capacity. The net result was
to diminish what had been the most abundant and lucrative area of
Salem's pre-war trade. Nevertheless, maritime commerce was
Salem's business, and its merchants rebuilt their fleets and resumed
their worldwide commerce, without a full understanding of how
difficult the new international conditions had become. For a few
years, there efforts were rewarded with reasonable profits, and it
seemed that Salem was once again in the ascendant, with almost 200
vessels sailing to Europe, the Orient, the Caribbean and South
America, and the southern ports.
The pre-war partisan politics of the town were not resumed post-war,
as the middle-class "mechanics" (artisans) became more powerful
and brought about civic hannony, largely through the Salem
Charitable Mechanic Association (founded 1817). Rev. William
Bentley, keen observer and active citizen during Salem's time of
greatest prosperity and fiercest political divisions, died in 1819, the
year in which a new U.S. Custom House was built on the site of the
George Crowninshield mansion, at the head of Derby Wharf. Into
the 1820s foreign trade continued prosperous; and new markets were
opened with Madagascar (1820), which supplied tallow and ivory,
and Zanzibar (1825), whence came coffee, ivory, and gum copal,
used to make varnish. This opened a long-standing trade that Salem
would dominate; and its vessels thus gained access to all of the east
African ports.
Salem's general maritime foreign commerce fell off shaiply in 1824,
as a second major tariff act was passed by Congress, to the benefit of
manufacturers and the detriment of importers. Salem imports were
supplanted by the goods that were now being produced in great
11
�quantities in America. The town's prosperity began to wane, and
many people saw no future locally. The interior of the country was
being opened for settlement, and some Salemites moved away. To
the north, the falls of the Merrimack River powered large new textile
mills (Lowell was founded in 1823); and in general it seemed that
the tide of opportunity was ebbing away from Salem. To stem the
flow of talent from the town and to harness its potential water power
for manufacturing, Salem's merchants and capitalists banded
together in 1825 to raise the money to dam the North River for
industrial power. Over the course of three years, the effort gained
momentum, but ultimately its many investors failed to implement
the plan, which caused several leading citizens to move to Boston,
the hub of investment in the new economy.
In 1830 occurred a horrifying crime that brought disgrace to Salem.
Old Capt. Joseph White, a rich merchant, now retired, resided in a
mansion on Essex Street. His wealth was legendary in Salem, not
least among the denizens of the nearby Salem Jail, where plots had
long been hatched to break in and steal the Captain's putative
treasure chest. One night, intruders did break in; and they stabbed
him to death in his sleep. All of Salem buzzed with rumors; but
within a few months it was discovered that the murderer was a
Crowninshield (he killed himself) who had been hired by his friends,
Capt. White's own relatives, Capt. Joe Knap and his brother Frank
(they would be executed). The murder, and related lurid events,
tarnished Salem further, and more families quit the now-notorious
town.
The Stanleys, Edward and Esther, continued to reside here, growing
older as Salem went into a period of decline. Salem had not prepared
for the industrial age, and had few natural advantages. The North
River served not to power factories but mainly to flush the waste
from the 25 tanneries that had set up along its banks. As the decade
wore on, and the new railroads and canals, all running and flowing
to Boston from points north, west, and south, diverted both capital
and trade away from the coast. Salem's remaining merchants took
their equity out oflocal wharves and warehouses and ships and put it
into the stock of manufacturing and transportation companies. Some
merchants did not make the transition, and were ruined. Old-line
areas of work, like rope-making, sail-making, and ship chandleries,
gradually declined and disappeared. Salem slumped badly, but,
despite all, the voters decided to charter their town as a city in
1836-the third city to be formed in the state, behind Boston and
12
�Lowell. City Hall was built 1837-8 and the city seal was adopted
with an already-anachronistic Latin motto of "to the farthest port of
the rich East"-a far cry from "Go West, young man!" The Panic of
1837, a brief, sharp, nationwide economic depression, caused even
more Salem families to head west in search of fortune and a better
future.
Throughout the 1830s, the leaders of Salem scrambled to re-invent
an economy for their fellow citizens, many of whom were mariners
without much sea-faring to do. Ingenuity, ambition, and hard work
would have to carry the day. One inspiration was the Salem
Laboratory, Salem's first science-based manufacturing enterprise,
founded in 1813 to produce chemicals. At the plant built in 1818 in
North Salem on the North River, the production of almn and blue
vitriol was a specialty; and it proved a very successful business.
Salem's whale-fishery led to the manufacturing of high-quality
candles at Stage Point, along with machine oils. The candles proved
very popular. Lead-manufacturing began in the 1820s, and grew
large after 1830, when Wyman's gristmills on the Forest River, at
the head of Salem Harbor, were retooled for making high-quality
white lead and sheet lead. These enterprises were a start toward
taking Salem in a new direction. In 1838 the Eastern Rail Road,
headquartered in Salem, began operating between Boston and
Salem, which gave the local people a direct route to the region's
largest market. The new railroad tracks ran right over the middle of
the Mill Pond; the tunnel under Washington Street was built in 1839;
and the line was extended to Newburyport in 1840.
In the face of these changes, some members of Salem's waning
merchant class continued to pursue their sea-borne businesses into
the 1840s; but it was an ebb tide, with unfavorable winds. Boston,
transformed into a modern mega-port with efficient railroad and
highway distribution to all markets, had subsumed virtually all
foreign trade other than Salem's continuing commerce with
Zanzibar. The sleepy waterfront at Derby Wharf, with an occasional
arrival from Africa and regular visits from schooners carrying wood
from Nova Scotia, is depicted in 1850 by Hawthorne in his cranky
"introductory section" to The Scarlet Letter, which he began while
working in the Custom House.
Although Hawthorne had no interest in describing it, Salem's
transformation did occur in the 1840s, as more industrial methods
and machines were introduced, and many new companies in new
13
�lines of business arose. The Gothic symbol of Salem's new industrial
economy was the large twin-towered granite train station-the
"stone depot"-smoking and growling with idling locomotives. It
stood on filled-in land at the foot of Washington Street, where the
merchants' wharves had been; and from it the trains carried many
valuable products as well as passengers. The tanning and curing of
leather was very important in Salem by the mid- l 800s. On and near
Boston Street, along the upper North River, there were 41 tanneries
in 1844, and 85 in 1850, employing 550 hands. The leather business
would continue to grow in importance throughout the 1800s. In 1846
the Naumkeag Steam Cotton Company completed the construction
at Stage Point of the largest factory building in the United States, 60'
wide by 400' long. It was an immediate success, and hundreds of
people found employment there, many of them living in tenements
built nearby. It too benefited from the Zanzibar and Africa trade, as
it produced light cotton cloth for use in the tropics. Also in the
1840s, a new method was introduced to make possible high-volume
industrial shoe production. In Lynn, the factory system was
perfected, and that city became the nation's leading shoe producer.
Salem had shoe factories too, and attracted shoe workers from
outlying towns and the countryside. Even the population began to
transfonn, as hundreds oflrish families, fleeing the Famine in
Ireland, settled in Salem and gave the industrialists a big pool of
cheap labor.
Capt. Edward Stanley, merchant, died on Jan. 16, 1849, ofan
internal inflammation, aged 68 years (per Salem Vital Records). He
left his wife of 45 years, Esther, 63. She continued to reside here,
and would for many years; and by 1855 (if not before) she had a
servant (and companion) in the person of Mary Gorman, 28, born in
Ireland (see 1855 census, house 265). No doubt she enjoyed the
company of her nephew, Judge Joseph Gilbert Waters, from time to
time.
Mrs. Esther Waters resided here through the 1850s and l 860s.
In 1851, Stephen C. Phillips succeeded in building a railroad line
from Salem to Lowell, which meant that the coal that was landed at
Phillips Wharf (fonnerly the Crowninshields' great India Wharf)
could be run cheaply out to help fuel the boilers of the mills, whose
output of textiles could be sent back to Salem for shipment by water.
This innovation, although not long-lived, boosted Salem as a port
and transportation center. Salem's growth continued through the
1850s, as business and industries expanded, the population swelled,
14
�new churches (e.g. Immaculate Conception, 1857) were started, new
working-class neighborhoods were developed (especially in North
Salem and South Salem, off Boston Street, and along the Mill Pond
behind the Broad Street graveyard), and new schools, factories, and
stores were built. A second, larger, factory building for the
Naumkeag Steam Cotton Company was added in 1859, at Stage
Point, where a new Methodist Church went up, and many neat
homes, boarding-houses, and stores were erected along the streets
between Lafayette and Congress. The tanning business continued to
boom, as better and larger tanneries were built along Boston Street
and Mason Street; and subsidiary industries sprang up as well, most
notably the J.M. Anderson glue-works on the Turnpike (Highland
Avenue).
As it established a productive economy, Salem took a strong interest
in national politics. It was primarily Republican, and strongly antislavery, with its share of outspoken abolitionists, led by Charles
Remond, a passionate speaker who came from one of the city's
notable black families. At its Lyceum (on Church Street) and in
other venues, plays and shows were put on, but cultural lectures and
political speeches were given too.
By 1860, with the election of Abraham Lincoln, it was clear that the
Southern states would secede from the union; and Salem, which had
done so much to win the independence of the nation, was ready to go
to war to force others to remain a part of it.
The Civil War began in April, 1861, and went on for four years,
during which hundreds of Salem men served in the army and navy,
and many were killed or died of disease or abusive treatment while
imprisoned. Hundreds more suffered wounds, or broken health. The
people of Salem contributed greatly to efforts to alleviate the
suffering of the soldiers, sailors, and their families; and there was
great celebration when the war finally ended in the spring of 1865,
just as President Lincoln was assassinated. The four years of
bloodshed and warfare were over; the slaves were free; 800,000 men
were dead; the union was preserved and the South was under maiiial
rule. Salem, with many wounded soldiers and grieving families,
welcomed the coming of peace.
Through the 1860s, Salem pursued manufacturing, especially of
leather and shoes and textiles. The maimgers and capitalists tended
to build their new, grand houses along Lafayette Street (these houses
15
�may still be seen, south of Roslyn Street; many are in the French
Second Empire style, with mansard roofs). A third factory building
for the Naumkeag Steam Cotton Company was built in 1865.
In 1870 Salem received its last cargo from Zanzibar, thus ending a
once-important trade. By then, a new Salem & New York freight
steamboat line was in operation. Seven years later, with the arrival of
a vessel from Cayenne, Salem's foreign trade came to an end. After
that, "the merchandise warehouses on the wharves no longer
contained silks from India, tea from China, pepper from Sumatra,
coffee from Arabia, spices from Batavia, gum-copal from Zanzibar,
hides from Africa, and the various other products of far-away
countries. The boys have ceased to watch on the Neck for the
incoming vessels, hoping to earn a reward by being the first to
announce to the expectant merchant the safe return of his looked-for
vessel. The foreign commerce of Salem, once her pride and glory,
has spread its white wings and sailed away forever" (Rev. George
Batchelor in History of Essex County, II: 65).
By the spring of 1872, Mrs. Esther Waters Stanley had died, in her
th
86 year. By her will, she devised her property to four Salem
charities. In April, 1872, the executors of her will conveyed this
house and land to the four charities, which conveyed the same to
Roland Smalley of Salem for $2400 (ED 851:81, 859:288).
The new owner, Roland Smalley, was a long-time neighbor of Mrs.
Stanley. He was born in 1822 and resided in Salem by 1855 he was
working as a stevedore, married to Susan, 33, a native of Rhode
Island, and residing on Daniels Street, in a house (also occupied by
John Archer & family) across from this one (1855 state census,
house 254). In 1872 Mr. Smalley was fifty, and he and Susan had
daughters Evelyn, sixteen, and Susan E., five. Later they would
reside at 7 Daniels Street.
Salem was now so densely built-up that a general conflagration was
always a possibility, as in Boston, when, on Nov. 9, 1872, the
financial and manufacturing district of the city burned up. Salem
continued to prosper in the 1870s, carried forward by the leathermaking business. In 1874 the city was visited by a tornado and
shaken by a minor earthquake. In the following year, the large
Pennsylvania Pier (site of the present coal-fired harborside electrical
generating plant) was completed to begin receiving large shipments
of coal. Beyond it, at Juniper Point, a new owner began subdividing
16
�the old Allen fannlands into a new development called Salem
Willows and Juniper Point. In the U.S. centennial year, 1876, A.G.
Bell of Salem announced that he had discovered a way to transmit
voices over telegraph wires.
In this decade, French-Canadian families began corning to work in
Salem's mills and factories, and more houses and tenements were
built. The better-off workers bought portions of older houses or built
small homes for their families in the outlying sections of the city;
and by 1879 the Naurnkeag Steam Cotton mills would employ 1200
people and produce annually nearly 15 million yards of cloth. Shoemanufacturing businesses expanded in the 1870s, and 40 shoe
factories were employing 600-plus operatives. Tanning, in both
Salem and Peabody, remained a very important industry, and
employed hundreds of breadwinners. On Boston Street in 1879, the
Arnold tannery caught fire and burned down.
In April, 1881, Roland Smalley sold the homestead for $2400 to
Jane A. Hubon, a widow, of Salem (ED I 056:24 7). In July, 1885,
Mrs. Hubon sold the premises to Mary Ann Wiggin (ED 1155: 178).
Mrs. Wiggin was the widow of Abner J. Wiggin (per directory
1893/4).
In the 1880s and 1890s, Salem kept building infrastructure; and new
businesses arose, and established businesses expanded. Retail stores
prospered; horse-drawn trolleys ran every which-way; and
machinists, carpenters, millwrights, and other specialists all thrived.
In 1880, Salem's manufactured goods were valued at about $8.4
million, of which leather accounted for nearly half. In the summer of
1886, the Knights of Labor brought a strike against the
manufacturers for a ten-hour day and other concessions; but the
manufacturers imported labor from Maine and Canada, and kept
going. The strikers held out, and there was violence in the streets,
and even rioting; but the owners prevailed, and many of the defeated
workers lost their jobs and suffered, with their families, through a
bitter winter.
By the mid-1880s, Salem's cotton-cloth mills at the Point employed
1400 people who produced about 19 million yards annually, worth
about $1.5 million. The city's large shoe factories stood downtown
behind the stone depot and on Dodge and Lafayette Streets. A jute
bagging company prospered with plants on Skerry Street and
English Street; its products were sent south to be used in cotton17
�baling. Salem factories also produced lead, paint, and oil. At the
Eastern Railroad yard on Bridge Street, cars were repaired and even
built new. In 1887 the streets were first lit with electricity, replacing
gas-light. The gas works, which had stood on Northey Street since
1850, was moved to a larger site on Bridge Street in 1888, opposite
the Beverly Shore.
More factories and more people required more space for buildings,
more roads, and more storage areas. This space was created by
filling in rivers, harbors, and ponds. The once-broad North River
was filled from both shores, and became a canal along Bridge Street
above the North Bridge. The large and beautiful Mill Pond, which
occupied the whole area between the present Jefferson Avenue,
Canal Street, and Loring Avenue, finally vanished beneath streets,
storage areas, junk-yards, rail-yards, and parking lots. The South
River, too, with its epicenter at Central Street (that's why there was a
Custom House built there in 1805) disappeared under the pavement
of Riley Plaza and New Derby Street, and some of its old wharves
were joined together with much in-fill and turned into coal-yards and
lumber-yards. Only a canal was left, running in from Derby and
Central Wharves to Lafayette Street.
In 1900 (per census, house 279), this house was occupied by Mrs.
Mary A. Wiggins, 65, born in Maine of a Danish father and a Maineborn mother, and (other unit) by Mrs. Anna Upton, 33, a widow, and
boarder Charles H. Collins, 40, a widower, born in Vermont,
working as a carpenter.
By June, 1902, Mrs. Wiggin had died, and the executor of her will
for $1515 sold the homestead at public auction to Joseph B. Brown
of Salem (ED 1770:284). Mr. Brown, an Irishman, soon died. In
February, 1905, some of his heirs sold out to another one, Thomas
C. Brown of Salem (ED 1770:286).
Salem kept growing. The Canadians were followed in the early 20 th
century by large numbers of Polish and Ukrainian families, who
settled primarily in the Derby Street neighborhood. By the eve of
World War One, Salem was a bustling, polyglot city that supported
large department stores and large factories of every description.
People from the surrounding towns, and Marblehead in particular,
came to Salem to do their shopping; and its handsome government
buildings, as befit the county seat, were busy with conveyances of
18
�land, lawsuits, and probate proceedings. The city's politics were
lively, and its economy was strong.
In 1910 (per census, house 22) this house was occupied as a twofamily by (one unit) the owner, Thomas Brown, 42, born in Ireland,
working as a truant officer, with wife Maria A., 40, born in Scotland,
and children Thomas J., 17, an errand boy, Helen F., 15, Arthur V.,
14, and Leo H., 13; and by (other unit) the widow Margaret P. Riley,
47, a nurse, ofirish parentage, and children Josephine, 21, a
stenographer, J olm M., 20, driver of a market wagon, and Mabel F .,
20, bakery saleslady.
On June 25, 1914, in the morning, in Blubber Hollow (Boston Street
opposite Federal) a blaze started in one of Salem's fire-prone
wooden tanneries. This fire soon consumed the building and raced
out of control, for the west wind was high and the season had been
dry. The next building caught fire, and the next, and out of Blubber
Hollow the fire roared easterly, a monstrous front of flame and
smoke, wiping out the houses of Boston Street, Essex Street, and
upper Broad Street, and then sweeping through Hathorne, Winthrop,
Endicott, and other residential streets. Men and machines could not
stop it: the enormous fire crossed over into South Salem and
destroyed the neighborhoods west of Lafayette Street, then devoured
the mansions of Lafayette Street itself, and raged onward into the
tenements of the factory district. Despite the combined efforts of
heroic fire crews from many towns and cities, the fire overwhelmed
everything in its path: it smashed into the large buildings of the
Naumkeag Steam Cotton Company (Congress Street), which
exploded in an inferno; and it rolled down Lafayette Street and
across the water to Derby Street, threatening this neighborhood.
There, at Herbert Street, after a 13-hour rampage, the monster died,
having consumed 250 acres, 1600 houses, and 41 factories, and
leaving three dead and thousands homeless. Some people had
insurance, some did not; all received much support and generous
donations from all over the country and the world. It was one of the
greatest urban disasters in the history of the United States, and the
people of Salem would take years to recover from it. Eventually,
they did, and many of the former houses and businesses were rebuilt;
and several urban-renewal projects (including Hawthorne Boulevard,
which involved removing old houses and widening old streets) were
put into effect.
19
�In August, 1915, Thomas C. Brown (wife Marie A.) sold the
homestead to Josefa Uszynski, wife ofWladjslaw Uszynski of
Salem; and in February, 1916, they conveyed the same to Mary, wife
of Bazil Thomasz of Salem; and in October, 1917, they sold to
Wojciech Kotulak of Salem (ED 2307:27, 2323:101, 2378:352).
By the 1920s, Salem was once again a thriving city; and its
tercentenary in I 926 was a time of great celebration. The Depression
hit in 1929, and continued through the 1930s. Salem, the county seat
and regional retail center, gradually rebounded, and prospered after
World War II through the 1950s and into the 1960s. Sylvania, Parker
Brothers, tanneries, Pequot Mills (fonnerly Naumkeag Steam Cotton
Co.), Almy's department store, various other large-scale retailers,
and Beverly's United Shoe Machine Company were all major local
employers. Then the arrival of suburban shopping malls and the
relocation of manufacturing businesses took their toll, as they have
with many other cities. More than most, Salem has navigated its way
forward into the present with success, trading on its share of
notoriety arising from the witch trials, but also from its history as a
great seaport and as the home of Bowditch, McIntire, Bentley, Story,
and Hawthorne. Most of all, it remains a city where the homes of the
old-time merchants, mariners, and mill-operatives are all honored as
a large part of what makes Salem different from any other place.
The homestead remained in the ownership of the Kotulak family
until 1970.

and built a new one upon the lot before
his death, which occurred in 1729.
Samuel Ingersoll House. This lot was
a part of the land conveyed by Timothy
Laskin to Robert Gray of Salem before
29: 7: 1656, when Mr. Gray conveyed
it to John Ingersoll of Salem.* Mr. Ingersoll's son John built a house upon the
lot about 1670; and the father died in
1683, having, in his will, devised the lot
to his son John. John Ingersoll was a
mariner, and lived here. He died in
1694, possessed of the house and lot,
which were then valued at sixty pounds.
The estate was divided in l 695, this
house and lot becoming the property of
John Ingersoll's son Samuel. Samuel
Ingersoll owned the house in qo2; and
the house was apparently gone soon after.
Richard Ingersoll House. This lot was
a part of the land conveyed by Timothy
Laskin to Robert Gray of Salem before
29: 7: 1656, when Mr. Gray conveyed it
to John Ingersoll of Salem.* Mr. Ingersoll's son Richard built a house upon the
lot about 1675; and died, possessed of
the house, in 1683. The father died
later, in the same year, having, in his
will, devised the lot to the widow of his
son Richard, for her life, and then to the
latter's son Richard. Sarah, widow of
Richard Ingersoll, married, secondly,
Joseph Procter of Ipswich, yeoman, before Dec. 24, l 701 1 when she released
her interest in the estate to her son Richard Ingersoll. t The last- named Richar<:!
Ingersoll died prior to July 1, 1708, when
administration upon his estate was granted
to his widow, Ruth Ingersoll. The next
owners of this house and lot, of record,
are widow Elizabeth Hinchy and William
· Burrows, frame maker, both of Boston,
and John Burrows of Killinsgly, Conn.,
joiner, who, for thirty-four pounds, thirteen shillings and four pence, conveyed
the estate to Jonathan Very of Salem,
cordwainer, N:ov. 6, 175 r.t For forty

Salem April 24, 17 53 ;* and, for ten
pounds, Mrs. Valpy conveyed the western
half of the house and land to her son

to the street, facing the south, the front
door being in the middle. Abigail Very
subsequently owned the eastern part of
the house and lot, and William Cabot of
Brooklyn, N. Y., merchant, Francis Cowell of Boston, and wife Hannah, and Susanna Lowell, spinster, for eighty pounds,
conveyed the same westerly half of the
" old dwelling house " ·to Abigail Very,
singlewoman, feb. 1, 1802.t The house
was probably gone soon afterward.
Estate of Richard Rose House. That
part of this lot lying easterly of the dashes was a part of the land conveyed by
Timothy Laskin to Robert Gray of Salem
before 29: 7: 1656, when Mr. Gray
conveyed it to John Ingersoll of Salem.§
Mr. Ingersoll gave this lot, by deed, to
his daughter Ruth and her husband Richard Rose Oct. 30, 167::1.11 Mr. Rose had
already built a house upon the lot.

As mentioned, this was the lot on which Richard Ingersoll
built a house circa 1675. By 1751 the Ingersoll house was
owned by widow Elizabeth Hinchy and William Burroughs, both of
Boston, and John Burroughs of Killinsgly, Conn.
This report
will show the chain of title from that point on.

the south side of said house to the garret shall forever be and
remain to and for the common use of the owners of both parts of

(A title check of the surrounding properties was done to be
sure the correct property was traced. This study indicates
that Catherine Berry owned the land now 6-8 Daniels Street,
Mary cox owned the land now 65 Essex st., Edmond Whittemore
owned the lot now #59 Essex Street, Joseph Searl or Sarl owned
what is now 63 Essex Street.)
On April 3, 1767 Abraham Valpy mortgaged his half, or west end,
of the homestead to Francis Cabot.
Elizabeth valpy died in 1771. By a will, written on December
28, 1770, Mrs. Valpy left her sons John, Abraham, Richard and
Benjamin each 5 shillings. The rest of her estate, both real
and personal was bequeathed to her granddaughter Elizabeth
Talbut.
An inventory, taken in 1771, shows her real estate
as:
part of a house and about 5 poles of land in Ingersolls lane
(This would be the east half of the house and land.)

�Also recorded in book 171 page 70 is the explanation that the
surviving executors of Francis Cabot recovered judgement
against Lydia Valpy, widow of Abraham, in the court of common
pleas in July 1784. The conditions were that unless Lydia paid
unto Cabot 61 pounds, 3 shillings and 8 pence she would lose
possession.
This sum was never paid, so when Lydia Valpy died
on July 8, 1801, the Cabot heirs took possession.
With the last conveyance, Abigail Berry now owned the entire
lot at 4 Daniels Street and removed the remaining portion of
the old Richard Ingersoll house.
The tax records indicate that
Abigail had a new house built shortly after taking possession:
1803 Abigail Berry - Ward 1
part house $1,200 (6 Daniels St.)
"new house, unfinished" $300 (4 Daniels st.)
Abigail Berry died on December 23, 1823, at the age of 92.
After many bequests, Abigal Berry left the remainder of her
estate, both real and personal, to Abigail B. Woodward.
