ARCHITECTURAL DESCRIPTION:
Describe architectural features. Evaluate the characteristics of this building in terms of other buildings within the community.
The house at 28 Arbella Street is set on the back lot between 26 and 30-32 Arbella Street. The 1 ½-story, side-gabled dwelling
is set on a brick foundation and is sheathed in asbestos shingles. The gable roof is sheathed in asphalt shingles with
overhanging eaves ending in returns. Centered on the three-bay facade, the main entrance is sheltered by a well-preserved,
flat-roofed denticulated door hood with the two brackets adorned by large beads, rondels and pendants. The door itself is a
modern multi-light replacement but it is capped by two original transom lights. The adjacent window openings have modern 2/2
vinyl sash but retain molded surrounds and entablature lintels set on brackets that are smaller versions of those on the entrance.
The shed dormer spanning the front roof slope is a later addition. Aligned with the east wall of the house is a single-story ell and
a rear deck.
This house is a contributing property in the Bridge Street Neck Historic District, listed on the National Register on July 19, 2002.
HISTORICAL NARRATIVE
Discuss 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.
It appears that this house may have been originally located on the present site of 30-32 Arbella Street. The 1874 map shows a
house with roughly this shape on that site, owned by William H. Plummer. Plummer was a shoemaker who lived at 16 Saunders
Street and apparently rented this house out.
The 1897 map shows the land was still vacant at that time but was owned by William H. Edwards a contractor and building
mover. The house appears to have been moved to its present site about 1906. The 1911 map shows a house believed to be 28
Arbella Street (?) in place, but without the rear ell and aligned directly behind #26. This house along with 22, 24, 26, and 30 , is
shown as being owned by William H. Edwards although deeds suggest he sold the property in 1910 (see below).
From 1907 to about 1910 the house (then 10 ½ Arbella Street) was rented to George S. Norton who worked as a traveling
salesman for an oil company. He lived here with his wife May, two daughters, his mother Emeline and his father George. In
1917 the house number was changed from 10 ½ to 28.
Deeds indicate that in 1910 the entire Arbella Street property was sold by William H. Edwards to Alice R. Meek (Book 2028,
Page 570). Miss Meek apparently purchased them as income-producing properties. She lived on Essex Street and was the
head of the Henry M. Meek Publishing Company, makers of directories. The property was sold by Annie (Meek) Hutchins and
Mabel Adlard to Martin and Mary Callahan in 1948 (Book 3637/205). Census records indicate that in 1920 the house was rented
to Louis Benway, a French Canadian wagon driver for a coal company. He lived here with his wife Hattie, two daughters, two
sons and a son-in-law.

the role(s) the owners/occupants played within the community.
and
According to the previous 1975 survey form for this property, this house was constructed about 1905 according to designs by
local architect, Ernest Machado. Based on interior evidence including the location o f the fireplace, the present owner of the
house believes that the house was built on the site of an earlier dwelling although this could not be verified. Sanborn maps
indicate that there was no building on this site in 1890 although a house is present by 1906. The 1905 City Valuation
indicates that the land was vacant and owned by Jennie Emmerton. The house was apparently constructed shortly thereafter
for Francis W . Nichols who had an antiques store at 67 North Street. The Nichols family continued to own the property until
the 1950s; the last family member to liver here was Millicent Nichols. The property has had numerous occupants since that
time and served as a multiple dwelling for some time. It has now reverted to single-family use.

�126 Bay View Avenue, January 1989 (MACRIS SAL.3484)
The Juniper Point neighborhood was conceived of by Salem grocer Daniel B. Gardner,
Jr., who purchased 45 acres of former farm land in September 1875, at the cost of $21,000. 1
The area had long been used as a summer retreat, with many Salemites and tourists camping
along the waterfront in tents. Gardner filed a plan with the City for cottage lots in October 1875
and in November submitted an updated plan which also included stable lots, two parks, and a
public hall. The proposal created over 50 residential lots, more than 20 of which were sold in a
single day, November 6, 1875. More lots were auctioned off in the summer of 1876 as the
neighborhood expanded. 2 The deed for each cottage stipulated that “no shop, store, public
house, boarding house, saloon or stable shall ever be erected on said lot nor any building
1
MACRIS SAL.HA – Gardner is incorrectly referred to as Danial B. Goodwin, Jr. on the neighborhood plans
submitted with the City of Salem in October and November of 1875.
2
The stable lots are now a strip of garages on Cheval Avenue.

�thereon used for any of said purposes.” The deeds continue to state, “that a strip thereof ten
feet wide next to the high-water mark shall forever be kept open free and unobstructed as a
public sidewalk or promenade.” These stipulations have been upheld in perpetuity. 3
The completion of this new summer community helped encourage the growth of the
adjacent Salem Willows, a city-owned park which quickly grew to include amusements,
restaurants, and entertainment. In 1875, the Naumkeag Street Railway Company began
offering horsecar service to the area from downtown, attracting visitors who could travel by
train to Salem and conveniently take a horsecar to the new neighborhood. Aside from Salem’s
elite business men, this summer resort community was especially popular with travelers from
Lawrence and Lowell.
The Gothic Revival cottage design of 126 Bay View Avenue is indicative of the 19th
century and features wood shingle siding and ornate cornice trim. The home has been greatly
altered in recent years to accommodate a basement level garage; the porch has been reduced
and is devoid of its decorative balustrade. New windows have been added with rounded
transoms on the front façade and the back of the home features a large atrium addition.
Furthermore, windows have been removed throughout the sides of the home. 4

(Salem State University Archives and Special Collections)
The Peabody Family, 1875-1880
Alfred Peabody (1806-1879) and his son Henry W. Peabody (1838-1908) appear to be
the earliest adopters of the Juniper Point neighborhood, purchasing multiple cottage plots from
Daniel B. Gardner, Jr. on November 6, 1875. Henry W. Peabody purchased #25 and #26, present
day 136 Bay View Avenue, and together with his father Alfred, purchased #22. 5
The land in which 126 Bay View Avenue sits was Plot #22 in Gardener’s Plan of Cottage
Lots for Juniper Point. The original address for this home was 54 Central Street, later renamed
and renumbered as 126 Bay View Avenue, around 1915. There is no indication that the

�Peabody family ever stayed in the home, it is likely that it was an investment property that they
leased to summering families from out-of-town. The family may have frequented 130 Bay View
Avenue, a larger home owned by Henry W. Peabody.
Alfred Peabody was born on February 3, 1806 in Salem, Massachusetts to Nathan and
Hannah (Stickney) Peabody. He came from a well-established family, descended from
Lieutenant Francis Peabody, an early settler of the area who arrived on the ship Planter in
1635. 6 Alfred became a renowned merchant in Salem and Boston, participating in multiple
industries including dry goods and shoe manufacturing. He often lost large amounts of money
in his ventures but was remembered fondly for his adaptability to the economy and his integrity
in business. 7
On November 30, 1833, Alfred Peabody married Jerusha Tay (1808-1891) of Salem.
Together, the couple had children as follows: Alfred, Henry, Everett (died in infancy,) Everett,
Mary, Edwin, and Charles. Their family home was at 45 Summer Street.
Like his father, Henry W. Peabody become a well-known merchant, working for Williams
& Hall on Central Wharf in Boston. Henry later joined Samuel Stevens & Company but took a
break from maritime trade in 1866 due to decline in the industry and substantial loss of income.
Henry opened his own company, Henry W. Peabody & Company in Boston and New York City.
As his business grew, he became increasingly involved with politics, appearing in front of
Congress on multiple occasions to advocate for maritime industries. In 1864, Henry W. Peabody
purchased 17 Chestnut Street in Salem where he lived until 1907, before moving to Beverly.

�Peabody married three times, first to Lila Rea Mansfield in 1862. Together the couple
had six children, three of which died during childhood. Lila died in August 1890 and in
December 1892, Henry W. Peabody married Nannie Brayton Borden (1853-1905) of Fall River.
Nannie had previously been married to Norman E. Borden (1850-1880), second cousin, once
removed of Lizzie Borden. The murders of Lizzie’s father and stepmother had occurred in
August 1892, followed by a very public trial. It is likely that Nannie viewed this marriage as a
welcomed escape from Fall River.8 Nannie appears to have assumed a large amount of money
following her first husband, Norman’s death. This was chronicled in multiple letters held in the
archives at Harvard University, which contains the Henry W. Peabody Collection. Found in
Henry’s personal correspondence with his step children, Henry stated that he had no interest in
Nannie’s estate, writing: “…I married Nannie Brayton Borden for her love and companionship,
and not for money."9 Nannie died in 1905 and Henry married for a third time to Lucy W.
Waterbury.
Alfred Peabody’s younger son, Edwin N. Peabody was also well known in Salem. He was
an active photographer from 1876-1894 and photographed much of Salem, including the
Juniper Point neighborhood. His images of the neighborhood date to the late 1870s and were
likely inspired by his family’s properties there. 10 Edwin traveled often and in his obituary it was
said: “He traveled considerably over the United States and whenever he heard of a Salem
family in any city that he visited, he would be sure to hunt them up, even though they were
perfect strangers to him. He was always made to feel welcome and he was sure to bring home

�pleasant messages to their Salem kindred.” 11
Alfred Peabody died of heart disease on June 13, 1879, he was 73 years old.12 In July
1880, Henry W. Peabody sold 126 Bay View Avenue (then 54 Central Avenue) to Joel A. Abbott
of Lowell, Massachusetts for $1,500. 13
The Abbott Family, 1880-1894
Joel A. Abbott (1820-1903) was born on October 3, 1820 to Joel Abbott and Hannah
(Bowman) Abbott of Charlestown, Massachusetts. 14 The family later relocated to North
Reading, where Joel A. Abbott worked as a shoe manufacturer. On November 26, 1847, Joel
married Sarah A. Parker (1826-1901), also of Reading. By 1865, the couple had relocated to
Lowell, along with their eight children. Joel became proprietor of “The Old Corner Store” at 174
Merrimack Street and become very involved in community politics, specifically the Democratic
party. In 1878, Joel was nominated for Mayor of Lowell by members of the Butler Club but lost
to John A. G. Richardson.
In 1880, Joel purchased 126 Bay View Avenue (then 54 Central Avenue) for use as his
family’s summer residence. During Joel’s first summer at Juniper Point, he suffered from a
debilitating kidney and liver disorder, becoming unable to walk. The following year, The Boston
Journal and The Boston Globe chronicled his recovery, which he credited to an herbal
supplement, Kidney-Wort. 15 Joel and his family owned the cottage at Juniper Point for 14 years.

�In 1894, Joel and his wife Sarah sold the home to Joseph F. Appleton.
The Appleton Family, 1894-1907
Joseph Frederic Appleton (1854-1929) was born in Beverly, Massachusetts on March 18,
1854 to Joseph B. Appleton and Rachel E. (Foster) Appleton. He attended school in Beverly and
later began working as a salesman in the shoe industry. On March 9, 1878, Joseph married
Mary B. Dunbar in Beverly, Massachusetts. 16 He later partnered with William McKean of Salem,
a manufacturer of shoes. In 1894, John and his wife Mary purchased 126 Bay View (then 54
Central Avenue) for $1.00 and other considerations from Joel and Sarah Abbott. 17
After leaving the shoe industry he became a manager and vice president of Underwriters
Salvage Company of the United States, where he traveled between offices in Boston and New
York before retiring in 1915. He then partnered with Fred A. Norton in selling insurance under
the name Appleton & Norton.
Appleton earned quite a bit of money in these businesses, splitting his time between a
Boston residence, 19 North Street, and Juniper Point. He purchased a 30-foot yacht which he
named Takitesy (take-it-easy) for use at Juniper Point. In June 1899, the Boston Globe reported
that Appleton’s yacht, valued at $1,000, had been stolen. It was recovered a month later at the
Hudson River Yacht Club in New York City and carpenter Frank Westin was arrested. 18 After
selling 126 Bay View (then 54 Central Avenue) in 1907; he purchased the larger adjacent home

�at 130 Bay View Avenue (then 60 Central Avenue) which has also been previously owned by
Henry W. Peabody. When Joseph F. Appleton passed away at age 76 in 1929, he left an estate
worth over one million dollars. 19
The Cabeen Family, 1907-1939
John F. Cabeen (1866-1954) was born in Salem in 1866 to Lydia and John Cabeen, a
teamster. The couple also had three daughters Sarah, Julia, and Lila. Sarah attended the nearby
Salem Normal School, where she graduated in 1878. She then taught in Salem for sixteen years,
primarily at the Bentley Grammar School on lower Essex Street. John F. trained as a plumber
and opened his own shop on the corner of Essex and North streets.
On October 18, 1886, John married Sarah A. Merrick, originally of England. 20 The couple
lived at 18 Cabot Street and had two children, Charles and Helen. Charles would apprentice
under his father and join the family business.
John was incredibly involved in his community, serving on multiple committees and
boards, including the Salem Chamber of Commerce, Salem Savings Bank, Salem Rotary Club and
the Board of Trade. After purchasing the home at 126 Bay View (then 54 Central Avenue) in
1907, John F. Cabeen became very involved with the Juniper Point neighborhood. In 1912, he
helped organize the Juniper Point Realty Trust to assist in the purchase of the nearby Ocean
View Hotel. 21
Following the Great Salem Fire of 1914, Cabeen played an instrumental role in the

�recovery effort by assisting in the organization of incoming funds and supplies for the city. In
the following months, he rallied for the importance of a fire department to protect Juniper
Point, becoming temporary President of the Juniper Point Volunteer Fire Association in
February 1915. This association received a hose carriage, ladders, and was granted the
installation of a fire alarm box at Columbus Square.22
In 1939, John and Sarah sold the Juniper Point home to Nora Harrington.

NATIONAL REGISTER CRITERIA STATEMENT (if applicable)
Located within the recommended Salem Willows Historic District,
eligible under Criteria A and c.
ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE Describe important architectural features and evaluate in terms of
other buildings within the community.
126 Bay View Avenue is a richly detailed example of the small
summer cottages constructed in the Salem Willows area in the late
19th century.
It is a 1 1/2-story, two bay cottage with Carpenter
Gothic details.
The complex roofline consists of a gabled front
section with central gable, and a two-story, gabled roof extending
to the rear.
The one-story porch extends across the facade and
east elevation, featuring a handsome jigsawn balustrade.
The main
entry is at the west end of the facade.
The entire front section
of the house is oranamented with jigsawn vergeboards and cornice
trim.
The window sash is varied including some replacement.
HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE Explain the role owners played in local or state history and how the
building relates to the development of the co111n.1nity.
This house is characteristic of the development of Salem
Willows with summer cottages during the late 19th and early 20th
centuries.
It stands upon lot 22 of a plan of cottage lots dated
October 1875.
The house was standing by 1897, when it was owned as
a summer residence by Joseph Appleton, a manager for A.B. Russell &
Co., Boston.
Appleton's year-round residence in 1897 was at 19
North Street, Salem.
It is not known when the house was
constructed, but the lot had previously been purchased by Henry W.
Peabody (1875) and Joel Abbott (1880) before Appleton purchased it
in 1894.

�I.
The Property, 1680-1800
John Turner, mariner and builder of The House of the Seven Gables, owned this property
by 1680. His father, Robert Turner, had arrived in Boston from England in the 1630s as an
indentured servant. John Turner was born in 1644 and married Elizabeth Roberts of Boston in
1668, the year he moved to Salem and began construction of his grand mansion nearby on what is
now Turner Street. 1 He owned the property which is today 52 Essex Street at the time of his early
death in 1680. In his probate inventory that year, it was listed as “Land by Christopher Babidges,”
valued at £40.2 Essex Street began as a pathway used by the Naumkeag people who inhabited
Salem for ten millenia before the arrival of English settlers and was one of the first streets in Salem.
By the late seventeenth-century, it was already considered the main street of the town. 3
When John Turner’s property was divided March 22, 1696/7, the lot (then worth £32 11s
was given to his youngest child, his daughter Abial. 4 Abial Turner was born October 14, 1680,
five days after her father’s death. 5 Abial never married and lived until 1723, though she conveyed
the property along Essex Street of Joseph Andrews, a yeoman from Boxford, on January 22, 1705
for £45.6
The land was along the creek which ran from the Salem Common into the cove which is
today called Collins Cove. To the east was the land of Christopher Babbidge, a tailor, by 1683. 7
His house, may survive on the other side of the old Bentley School, hidden between Essex and

�Forrester streets. Babbidge’s son, Christopher, Jr., a cordwainer, conveyed the house and property
to merchant Richard Derby in 1757. 8
The property to the west, from what is today number 56 Essex Street to Washington Square
East, was part of the parcel of land owned by John Turner. In 1695, Col. John Turner conveyed it
to Thomas Beadle, a mariner and tavern-keeper for £16.9 Beadle’s Tavern, where accused (and
later executed) witches Reverend George Burroughs, George Jacobs, Sr., and Mary Easty were
held before their pre-trial examinations during the Salem Witchcraft Trials of 1692, stood on the
opposite side of Essex Street, near where number 65 is located today. His house remained until
merchant Clifford Crowninshield acquired the land in 1791 and tore it down. 10
After the death of Joseph Andrews in 1737, his dwelling house and lands in Salem were
inherited by his sons, Nathaniel and John.11
In 1777, Richard Derby purchased the present site of 52 Essex Street from mariner Daniel
Conant along with the rest of Conant’s “goods, chattels, and lands” for the enormous sum of £4,000
18s.12
II.
Daniel Sage, 1800-1831
In 1800, Salem was the eighth largest city in the United States, with 9,457 residents
according to the census conducted that year. 13 After the Revolution, Salem’s maritime trade
flourished as privateers like the Derby family turned their sights on foreign trade which had been

�forbidden under the mercantilist British system. The first American ships to trade with ports in
Russia, South Africa, Madagascar, Martinique, and India, left Salem in the period between 1781
and 1800. Salem is often considered the wealthiest city per capita in the United States in that
period, and Elias Hasket Derby was the wealthiest American in the 1790s.
In 1800, the heirs of Samuel Derby (Richard Derby, Samuel Derby, Charles Derby, and
Edward Preble) sold a parcel of land to Capt. Daniel Sage, who constructed 52 Essex Street not
long afterwards.
The deed describes the property as such:
“three fourths parts and seven tenths of a fourth part of a piece of land in said Salem,
bounded as follows, to wit, southerly by Essex Street, there measuring 78 feet,
easterly by land of Mrs. Mary Elkins, there measuring two hundred & seven feet,
northerly by east street there measuring seventy nine feet & six inches, westerly by
land of Capt. Benjn Ward, there measuring two hundred feet” 14
Daniel Sage was born in 1758 in Greenock, a fishing port in Inverclyde in the west central
lowlands along the Firth of Clyde. 15 Greenock had a successful harbor and fishing industry since
the middle ages, largely exporting salted cod. It is unclear when Sage came to the United States,
but he was in Salem by the 1780s.
Sage was a shipmaster, captaining the Patty, a Newbury-built schooner in 1794 for Nathan
Richardson.16 In July of 1795, he carried £3,425 17s 2d worth of provisions to the army of JosephGeneviève de Puisaye at Quiberon in Brittany. 17 De Puisaye was leading a counter-revolutionary

�invasion of France backed by British, which lasted from June 23rd to July 23rd, 1795. Two days
after Sage delivered provisions, the counterrevolutionary forces were routed at the Battle of
Quiberon.
In 1796 he captained the Elizabeth, for William Gray.18 In 1800 he supervised the building
of the Laurel for Gray. Built in Danvers, the Laurel was 425 tons, the fourth-largest ship in Salem
at that time.19 He travelled to India aboard the Laurel.20
In 1809, he was part owner with Nathaniel Silsbee, Robert Stone, Jr. Joseph Ropes, Thomas
Whitteridge, Jeremiah Briggs, Daniel Sage, James Devereaux, Moses Townsend, Joseph White,
Jr., Joshua Ward, Joseph J. Knapp, Archelaus Rea, Richard Crowninshield of the brig Romp, which
was confiscated at Naples on her first voyage. 21 There is a half-hull model of the Romp in the
collection of the Peabody Essex Museum.22 Regarding its capture in Naples, there is a “Naples
claim” in Sage’s probate valued at $1592.59.23
Sage married Deborah Silsbee October 8, 1786.24 Silsbee was born in April of 1767, the
daughter of carpenter Samuel Silsbee. 25 The Silsbees were descendants of Henry Silsbee, who
came to Salem by 1639. 26 Samuel was the son of After his marriage, Sage lived in the Silsbee
family house on the corner of Derby and Essex streets for nearly thirty years according to family
genealogist, James A. Emmerton. 27 That house was the Stephen Daniels house, one of the oldest
in Salem, built 1667 and still standing at 1 Daniels Street.

Samuel’s mother, Mary Daniels
�Silsbee, was Stephen Daniels’ daughter. She married Nathaniel Silsbee, who died in 1731 when
he killed during a construction project when the staging collapsed. 29 Samuel Silsbee built the
northern half, third floor, and leanto in 1756 and lived in the home his whole life. 30 Two Silsbee
houses of the era survive in the immediate neighborhood at 69 Essex Street,31 and 27 Daniels
Street.32
Somewhere around 1800, Capt. Sage built a three and a half story Federal house, five bays
wide, on the land he had purchased from the Derby heirs. Architectural historian Bryant F. Tolles
identifies 52 Essex Street as “unusual” as “the only house in Salem with brick ends incorporating
paired chimneys.”33 Sage constructed a small store on the western end of the property, today 54
Derby Street, and owned a lot across the street with a barn.
Capt. Daniel and Deborah Sage had 12 children, only five of whom survived to adulthood,
two sons and three daughters. Joseph Prince, aged 18 months, died September 23rd, 1795, of fever.
Fever claimed two more children within 12 days. Daniel died of fever at age four September 26 th,
followed by Hannah, age six, on October 4th. 1802 was a similarly dark year for the Sages, with
Hannah, aged five, and Daniel, aged three, dying of fever on May 28th and 29th. Deborah, aged 19,
died of dysentery on July 30th of that year. 34 Martha Silsbee, aged one, died of dysentery on
September 26th, 1808.
John Sage, the oldest son, was born in July 1787 and became a mariner. William Sage was
born in September 1803 and became the Secretary of the Union Marine Insurance Company and
is listed in the probate with the profession of gentleman. Mary Ann Sage was born in April 1805.

�She married the mariner and merchant Ephraim Emmerton. 35 Sarah Sage was born in October
1809 and married Charles Fisk Putnam, merchant and grocer, in 1828. Margaret Sage was born in
December 1811 and married Charles’ younger brother, Edward Putnam in 1839. Edward was
involved in the Brazil trade, particularly in the importation of rubber, and with Charles shipped a
steam sugar mill to Brazil. 36
Sage owned pew number three in the East Meeting House, at the corner of Essex and Hardy
streets.37 The East Church had been established in 1718 and took on Unitarian leanings with the
ministership of the famous Reverend William Bentley between 1783 and 1819. Bentley married
Deborah and Daniel in 1786. 38 In 1812, Bentley notes in his diary that he received “Lady blush
apples” from Sage. 39 In 1817, a subscription was taken to cover deficiencies in the salary of Rev.
Bentley. Capt. Sage contributed $15, ranking number 16 among the donors. The other contributors
were wealthy merchants of the harbor and common neighborhood. 40 After Bentley’s death in 1819,
the minister of the East Church was Dr. James Flint, from 1821 until 1855. 4142
A standing clay figure of Daniel Sage is in the collection of the Peabody Essex Museum,
by an unknown face maker in Canton, 1798. This is the last known example of this art (known

Deborah Silsbee Sage preceded her husband to the grave by a month, on April 13, 1836. 45
When Daniel Sage died May 18, 1836, he was 77 years old and had amassed the large fortune of
$42,396.33.4647 Of that figure, $5,076 was in real estate. 52 Essex Street, called “The Homestead”
in the probate, was worth $4,000. The lot across Essex Street was valued at $675. There are two
lots of land along Liberal Street in the North Fields worth $225. 48
Sage’s furnishings and possessions came to $523.97. The inventory gives some sense of
the furniture that Sage had in his home. A green sofa and a black sofa, a Turkish rug, bamboo
couch, straw carpet, and a square dining table are listed among less descriptive items of furniture.
Other possessions included a spyglass, two looking glasses, a compass, scales and weights, a
musket, a sword, money scales, and twelve pictures. He owned a Bible and a number of books, as
well as charts and bound newspapers.49
In 2016, a lot of eight mahogany dining chairs carved by Samuel McIntire around 1800
was auctioned by Sotheby’s. The catalogue notes that similar chairs can be found in the SageWebb-Wilkins House in Salem. 50

�Lastly, he had investments and other assets valued at $36,796.36. These included shares in
five banks (Merchant, Exchange, Mercantile, Commercial, and Salem) three insurance companies
(Oriental, Marine, Union Marine), the Essex Marine Railway Corporation, the Salem and Danvers
Aqueduct Corporation, and the Marine Hall Corporation. 51 His son, William, was secretary of the
Union Marine, of which he had more than twice the number of shares than the other two firms.
The subscribers to his estate were Charles F. Putnam, John Sage, Margaret Sage, and
Ephraim Emmerton. William Sage was initially named the administrator, but he died February 19,
1838, before completing the probate and on April 3, Ephraim Emmerton was named administrator
in his place.5253 Daniel Sage’s papers are in the Phillips as part of the Emmerton Family Papers,

The Webbs, 1831-1902
William Webb purchased Daniel Sage’s mansion on Essex Street on July 26, 1836, less
than two months after the captain’s death. 55 Webb paid only $100 less than the estimated value of
the property in Sage’s probate. 56 Webb was a trader and an apothecary.
Webb was born in October 1783 to Benjamin Webb and Hannah Bray.57 He married in
1825, the much younger Isabella (or Isabel) Donaldson, who was born in 1800 to Alexander
Donaldson and Elizabeth Peele. 58 William and Isabella had four children, three of whom survived

She married George Whipple, secretary of the Essex Institute and a writer on local history, such
as the history of the Salem Light Infantry. 62 Lastly, William, Jr. was born in September 1833.63 He
moved to Winchester, Massachusetts by 1874. 64
Webb ran his apothecary out of the little shop constructed by Daniel Sage which is today
54 Essex Street.65 In the 1840s, Gardner Barton, an apothecary with a shop at 6 Newbury Street
resided with the Webbs at 52 Essex Street. 66 In 1842, there were only seven apothecaries listed in
the Salem Directory, including Barton and Webb. 67
In 1846, Isabella died of consumption in January 1846.68 Henry McIntyre’s 1851 map of
Salem depicts the home as the property of “W. Webb.” 69 William Webb died April 29, 1870.70
Webb’s son, Benjamin Webb, purchased the property in July of 1870 for $2,666.71 In the 1874
atlas of Salem, Benjamin Webb is listed as the owner and the store at number 54 is located at the
center of the lot, with more property to the west. 72

�In January 1877, Benjamin Webb sold the western half of the lot to John Stevenson, an
engineer living at 2 North Pine Street, for $1,973.97.7374 John Stevenson constructed a double
house on the lot in 1877, which is today 56-58 Essex Street.75
In the 1878 directory, Benjamin Webb, is listed with his shop at 54 Essex and his house at
52 Essex.76 In the 1893-4 Directory, an advertisement for Benjamin Webb, Apothecary lists the
following specialties: “’Old Dr. Webb's Cough Mixture,’ a cheap and effectual remedy, try it! ‘Old
Dr. Webb's Worm Powders,’ Successful through years of trials. A sure remedy! and ‘Dr. Little's
Green Ointment’ positively cures eczema and all skin diseases. Also pills.”
Webb’s second wife, Angie, received the property in September 1897 for $1 and other
considerations.77 He was listed as a chemist and a druggist in the 1899-1900 Directory, with his
shop at 54 Essex and his home at 52 Essex. 78 In that year, there were 14 druggists listed in Salem,
and 26 apothecaries, with all the druggists listed as apothecaries. 79 Benjamin Webb died in

VIII. Conclusion
Called the Sage-Webb-Wilkins House, this classic Salem house has a storied history and
is a fine example of Federal architecture in the harbor neighborhood. Captain Daniel Sage, a native
of the western coast of Scotland, came to America as a young man. In 1786 he married Deborah
Silsbee and lived in her ancestral home, the First Period Stephen Daniels House on Daniels Street.
In 1800, Sage purchased the property at 52 Essex Street from the Derbys and began construction
of the present building. Sage had success as a shipmaster and later as a merchant. When he died in
1836, he had amassed considerable assets. The house was sold immediately to William Webb, an
apothecary. Webb used 54 Essex Street next door as his apothecary shop. When he died in 1870,
his son, Benjamin Webb, took over the shop and home, living there until 1900. Benjamin’s widow,
Angie, sold the property to Marietta B. Wilkins, the wife of a dry goods merchant.
Paul P. Harrington and his wife, Mary, purchased the house in 1951. Their two sons were
in the merchant marine. Parts of the house were rented to various working-class tenants, many of
them of Polish or French-Canadian heritage.
The Sets, proprietors of a Chinese laundry next door at 54 Essex Street, purchased the
house in 1977, living in it off and on until 1990 and renting parts of the house to various young
and working-class tenants.

Annual Listing for the City of Salem, 2017.
�After the building was turned into condominiums in 2002, it has been the home to a few
couples of urban professionals. The home remains an important landmark of Salem’s maritime
and architectural legacy.

�The house at 144-146 Federal Street in Salem, Massachusetts was built for shipmaster
Captain Thomas Whittredge and his wife Sarah, around 1802. It is located on the northeastern
corner of Federal Street and Flint Street (originally known as Dean Street). i
The Whittredge house was built in the Federal style, which was the prevailing American
architectural style between around 1780 and 1820, particularly popular along the eastern
seaboard in port cities. The lot on which it is situated is 8,825 square feet, and the house
measures 5 X 3 bays. ii The house is a three-story wood-frame building with clapboard siding and
has a brick chimney on both the east and west sides of the house. It has a low-pitch hipped roof,
which is the subtype of Federal houses most common to New England. iiiiv Three-story hippedroof Federal houses in particular have “an unusually important concentration in the town of
Salem, Massachusetts,” and are usually “of landmark quality.” v Originally, the house had outbuildings, including a shed, and a two-story stables on the northern end of the lot. vi It has a low
foundation made of granite with three granite front steps leading directly from the sidewalk to
the front door.vii viii While almost all of the characteristics of the house match typical Federal
style elements, the low foundation with no porch is one holdover from the preceding Georgian
style.ix
The front door has six panels and is surrounded by two Doric half-round and fluted
pilasters which support a triangular denticulated broken pediment. x Above the door is an
elliptical fanlight with five segments. xixii There is a similar six-panel door on the east side of the
house with pilasters supporting a less elaborate triangular pediment. This door also has three
granite steps extending down to the walkway.
On the front façade, the windows are singly-placed, five-ranked, and balanced
symmetrically with the front door in the center. xiii The third floor is a foreshortened story, and
�thus the windows are shorter than on the first and second floors. xiv Each window has a doublehung 6/6 sash, which is a window made up of six panes separated by muntins, or thin wooden
supports, above another set of six panes. xv By the late 1990s, the house was vacant, and the
windows were empty and boarded up. xvi Since then, they have been reinstalled and restored to
their original style.
During this architectural era, according to Virginia McAlester in A Field Guide to
American Houses, “the first true architects appeared on the American scene.” xvii One of the few
most notable in the country was an architect from Salem, named Samuel McIntire. He was a
master at the Georgian and Federal style of architecture, and several of his works remain in
Salem today. According to Bryant F. Tolles, in Architecture in Salem, An Illustrated Guide, his
greatest achievements came during this mid-Federal period between 1800 and 1815. xviii He was
particularly attracted to the Federal Street area, because of its “elegant streetscape” and was hired
by merchants to build their mansions there. xix The Whittredge House is part of the McIntire
Historic District. The McIntire-designed Samuel Cook/Henry Oliver House is next door at 142
Federal Street, and features some of his famous wood carving. xx Aspects of the Whittredge
House and original stable “show close relationship with McIntire’s work,” according to Fiske
Kimball, an architectural historian, though Kimball was not able to find specific evidence of a
connection.xxi The Whittredge House, and the Federal style in general, share similarities with the
earlier Georgian style, but are a refinement of the style. Houses of the mid-Federal period, are
described as “having a lightness and delicacy in comparison with their close Georgian relatives”
and “the exteriors… have few elaborations other than the fanlight and accentuated front door,”
which fits the Whittredge House perfectly.xxii This new refined architectural development
�borrowed from European styles of the time and was first used by wealthy merchants on the New
England coast, like Thomas Whittredge himself.
Thomas Whittredge was born on May 2, 1766 in Salem, Massachusetts. xxiii Sarah Waters
was born in 1766 in Danvers, Massachusetts to Abel Waters and Lydia (Trask) Waters. xxiv Sarah
married Thomas in Danvers on November 11, 1793 when they were both 28 years old. xxv The
two lived in Danvers in the early years of their marriage, and had three children before building
and moving to their mansion on Federal Street. Henry Trask Whittredge was the first, born
December 29, 1794, followed by Eliza, born November 25, 1796, Thomas Cook, born May 27,
1799, and Edward A., born December 15, 1801.
Thomas Whittredge was a Master Mariner, or Shipmaster, and traded in the mid-Atlantic
states.xxvi He was part of Salem’s proud and important history as a seaport, participating in it
during a time when the merchant culture and rich commerce were at their prime in the town.
According to the History of Essex County, Massachusetts published in 1888, “From the close of
the War of the Revolution until the embargo in 1808, Salem was at the height of her commercial
prosperity. The white sails of Salem’s ships were unfurled in every port of the known worlds and
carried the fame and name of Salem to the uttermost parts of the earth.” xxvii While Whittredge
perhaps was not quite as rich or well-known as some of the other merchants in town, he did a
good business and was quite wealthy, owning real estate not only at the Federal Street property,
but elsewhere in Salem, and in neighboring towns such as Peabody. xxviii
Whittredge was part owner of many ships that sailed from Salem. The 1906 Ship
Registers of the District of Salem and Beverly, Massachusetts, 1789-1900 lists him as an owner
of two vessels that served as privateers in the War of 1812; the Alexander carried twenty guns
and one hundred fifty-five men before being captured on May 19, 1813, and the Buckskin, a
�schooner, carried five guns and fifty men, and was captured by the British Frigate Statira on
August 7, 1812. He was also an owner of the Andrew Jackson, after its capture in the war,
registering it as a merchant ship when the war was over. Earlier in his career, Whittredge was
also an owner of the Clarissa, registered in 1794, and the Argo, registered in 1808. Whittredge’s
will and other documents reveal interest in ships not mentioned in this register as well. xxix The
ship register shows a chart of private signals from commercial houses, which includes an image
of Whittredge’s signal, shown below. xxx
In the mid-eighteenth century, Joseph Dean owned a large piece of land in Salem, just
south of the North River. The road to the west of this land was named for him for nearly a
century. When he died, he left it to his son John Dean, who in turn sold it to Joseph Sprague on
October 25, 1774.xxxi During that time, Federal Street was laid on the southern border of this
land, named in 1792, and a bustling community of merchant families was created. Sprague, also
a merchant, sold a piece of his land which would become 144-146 Federal Street, to Thomas
Whittredge on November 30, 1799 for six hundred and twenty-five dollars.xxxii This original deed
describes the boundaries of the land, which have remained unchanged to this day. It explains that
the western edge of the land was bounded by Dean Street (later Flint Street) and ran one hundred
and fifty-one feet. The north end was bounded by a school house’s land and ran forty-six feet,
eight inches. The east end was bounded by more land that still belonged to Sprague, and ran one
�hundred and fifty-one feet, equal to the western side. The southern border was a little longer than
the northern border, spanning sixty-one feet, one inch, and was, and still is, bounded by Federal
Street. Whittredge had the mansion built soon after purchasing the land, and it was completed
around 1802.xxxiii
The image below, from an 1890 Sanborn Fire Insurance Map, shows the border of the
property, along with its original buildings, including the two-story stable on the northern border.
Behind the lot is the school house property mentioned in the deed, which had been turned into a
six-dwelling tenement house by 1859. xxxiv (The top of the image is East.)
xxxv
After moving into the new house, Thomas and Sarah Whittredge’s fourth child, Edward,
died on August 25, 1803 at only twenty months of age.xxxvi The next year, however, their
youngest, Sarah, was born on November 1, 1804. The children were all raised in the Federal
Street mansion, and Thomas Whittredge lived there with his wife until he died at age 63 on
September 16, 1829 of “mortification of toes and foot.” xxxvii
In his will, Whittredge stated, “I give and devise to my wife Sarah the mansion house,
buildings, and land under and adjoining the same where I now dwell.” Sarah Whittredge
continued to live in the house until 1841, when she transferred the deed of mortgage to her
�daughter Sarah W. Osborne, and son-in-law, George S. Osborne, a physician from Danvers. xxxviii
Sarah Whittredge then moved to Danvers, where she died on August 16, 1845 at age seventyeight after a “bowel complaint.” xxxix
Upon her death, she left the property equally to her daughter, Sarah W. Osborne, and her
granddaughter, Elizabeth Williams (the daughter of Thomas Cook Whittredge, and wife of
Henry S. Williams). xl The following year, Sarah Osborne paid her niece Elizabeth Williams two
thousand dollars to purchase her half of the property. As of March 25, 1846, the house belonged
entirely to Thomas and Sarah Whittredge’s daughter, Sarah W. Osborne, and her husband
George.xli
Though the house was in the family for four generations, Thomas and Sarah Whittredge
appear to be the only family members who actually lived in the house as adults. Beginning in the
1850s, the house was split up and rented out, first as a two-family dwelling, and later into
tenement rooms. Around this time, Salem’s booming commerce and shipping economy began to
decline a bit; fewer stately mansions were being built, those that were built were instead erected
further inland, and many existing mansions were being repurposed for other uses. In a 1914
book, Historic Homes of New England, Mary H. Northend laments the end of a romantic era of
young merchants and “jolly sailor lads… bound for Kit’s Dancing Hall,” and the long-closure of
local Inns. Further, she complains that “the large, square homes of yesterday are now
degenerated into tenement houses.” xlii
While this shift may have seemed like a negative one to some in Salem, it is likely a
major reason that some houses such as the Whittredge House remained standing for so long.
Additionally, although none so lucrative as the merchant career of Thomas Whittredge, many of
the house’s residents owned successful businesses in various trades.
�The first renters kept the merchant community alive, as they were both sea captains
themselves. By 1851, Sarah and George Osborne were renting out the house to Captain John Day
on the 144 Federal Street side, and Captain Richard Matthews at 146 Federal Street. xliii The 1851
survey map shows Day and Matthews’ names as owners of the property’s buildings (and the
existing MACRIS record cites Day as owner because of this), however the map must be referring
solely to the house’s residents at the time, as it was still owned by the Osbornes. xliv
In 1860, Xenophon Hector Shaw and his wife Eliza began renting the 144 Federal side of
the house. Xenophon was born on October 28, 1799 in Middlesex, Massachusetts, and Eliza was
born August 16, 1801 in Salem. xlv xlviThe two married on July 1, 1821. xlvii By the time they
moved to the Whittredge house, the couple was older and had three grown children, Mary Shaw,
Brown Emerson Shaw and Hannah Tappan,.xlviii Eliza died just seven years later on November
14, 1868. Eventually Xenophon’s daughter Mary Shaw moved into the house and is listed as a
boarder and housekeeper in the city directories between 1870 and 1886. xlix The two lived in the
house until Xenophon’s death on December 7, 1886. Xenophon owned a picture framing and
gilding business with his son Brown Emerson Shaw, called Xenophon H. and Son. The business
was established in 1820, when Xenophon himself was just twenty years old, so was likely
already a family business. Brown continued the family business with his sister Mary after their
father’s death until 1896, which is the last year it is listed in the directory. l They had large
advertisements placed in several of the Salem City Directories between the 1860s and 1890s.
Shown below is their ad from 1886. li
�By 1866, on the 146 Federal side, Daniel Frye Nichols had moved in with his family.
Daniel was born in 1805 and was married to Lydia F. Cheever (born 1806) on August 8, 1827 in
Salem.lii Similar to the Shaws, the couple moved into the Whittredge house as an older couple
with adult children. In this case, many of their adult children moved with them into the house,
including Randle, Lydia, Abbie, Benjamin, and Henry C. Nichols, all between the ages of twenty
and thirty-four. Daniel F. Nichols made his living as a tanner, working in the tanneries on the
North River near the house. liii In another similarity to the Shaw’s side of the building, Lydia died
only a few years after moving in, on September 1, 1872 at age sixty-six of unknown causes.
By 1880, though Daniel still lived in the house, his son Henry C. Nichols had taken over
as the head of household at 146 Federal Street, living there with his wife Mary, and young son
Edward.liv The Henry Nichols family lived in the house until 1889, following the death of Daniel
Nichols on October 8, 1888. Abby F. Nichols, Henry’s older sister, also continued to live in the
house as a boarder until 1889.
While the Nichols and Shaw families lived in the house, house owners Sarah Whittredge
Osborne died on February 17, 1883 and her husband George Osborne died on September 21,
1882. Upon their deaths, they left the property to their two children George S. Osborne, and
�Eliza D. Shepard. lv The two were “tenants in common” and continued to live elsewhere and rent
out the building until Eliza’s death in 1930.lvi
In 1890, James H. Fitzpatrick moved to 146 Federal, though only for a short time. lvii In
1895, William Sheehan, a physician, moved into the home. William married Katherine C. Anglin
in 1909. Beginning in the 1912 city directory, “K.C. Sheehan” is also listed with William, also as
a physician.lviii This is clearly referring to Katherine, who was also a doctor. In the 1924
directory, her name is listed with William’s in its entirety, both as physicians. lix In the
directories, William gives his office hours next to their address, so it seems he may have visited
patients at the home. lx The couple raised five children in the home and lived there until
William’s death in 1924. Katherine was there for two more years on her own, still practicing
medicine, before moving to another house. lxi
When she died in 1930, owner Eliza D. Shepard left the property to her two children,
Thomas O. Shepard, and Sarah W. Shepard. They never lived there, nor do they seem to have
rented it out, as during their brief ownership the city directory lists the house as vacant. lxii Neither
Thomas nor Sarah ever married or had children, living together until they died. Thus, this is
where ownership of the house left the Whittredge family line.
Thomas and Sarah sold the house to Francis J. Murphy and his wife Louise in 1931, not
long after inheriting it.lxiii Francis was a leatherworker, born July 16, 1899, who married Louise
M. Brophy in 1926.lxiv The two had a daughter, Mary, in 1929, and purchased the Federal Street
home on April 7, 1931.lxv They lived there with their daughter and a servant, eventually giving
birth to a son, Frances.lxvi It seems that they preferred to use the house for only their family
instead of renting it out to tenants, as Francis Murphy is listed as the only occupant of both 144
and 146 Federal Street on the city directories of this time. lxvii They lived in the house until about
�1945, before moving elsewhere in Salem. In 1945, the house was rented out as furnished
tenement rooms, advertised by Laura M. Smith in the city directory, who also lived in the house,
and must have managed the tenants for the owners. lxviii In 1945, there were many tenants,
including Nathan Tucker, Florence and Silvio Landry, Julia Symonds and her husband Frank, a
lathe hand, and widow Marie Maillet. lxix
The Murphys sold the house soon after turning it into tenements, on April 27, 1946 to
Joseph and Tekla Rostkowski, a couple from Poland.lxx They owned the house for just over a
year, and it doesn’t appear that they ever lived there themselves. Laura M. Smith continued to
advertise furnished rooms at the house during this time, until the next owner took over the job
herself. Esther M. and Thomas F. Henry purchased the house on June 25, 1947 and continued to
rent out furnished rooms, advertising them in the directory, while also living there themselves. lxxi
Thomas Henry was born June 5, 1920 in Peabody, and Esther Trabucco, known as Babe,
was born October 8, 1919 in Beverly. lxxii They were married in 1941 in Salem, and had four
children, Thomas, Michael, Barbara, and Patricia. Thomas was enlisted in the army as a private
on October 9, 1944 for the duration of the war; his cemetery marker shows him as a Technician
Fifth Grade. When not serving, Thomas was an engineer at New England Instruments, and
Esther started Henry Associates, a real estate business, in addition to managing tenants in her
home.lxxiii
Below is a picture of Esther and three of their children in 1944, and a picture of Thomas
in 1945.
�The Henry’s tenants listed between 1946 and 1950 are Frank and Julia Symonds;
Josephine Rostkowski, a payroll clerk at John Lynn and Sons, incorporated, and her husband
John; Clifford M. Smith, a machinist; Donald and Doris Haskell; Marie Henry; Mary McGrath;
George Angelico; Joseph Angelico; Mary Kelly; Albert and Ruth Thibodeau; Kenneth Shepard,
a cable splicer at NET&T Company; a nurse, Mrs. Ellen Linscomb; Constance “Connie” Clay, a
telephone operator at NET&T Company, and her husband Leo, a contractor; and several
employees of the Sylvania light bulb factory, Augusta V. Rostkowski, Alice M. Rostkowski,
Robert O. Westman, and Esther Crowell. lxxiv
Additionally, four members of the United States Coast Guard Air Station lived in rooms
in the house at the same time, three of them with their wives. Between 1935 and 1970, Winter
Island, off the coast of Salem, was the site of a United States Coast Guard Air Station, which
patrolled the northeastern shore by plane, “responding to emergency calls off the Atlantic Coast
�from as far south as Connecticut and as far north as Halifax… the men bravely saved dozens of
lives at sea, and risked their own,” according to Salem collector and history writer, Nelson
Dionne.lxxv The USCG Air Station aviators who lived in the Whittredge House beginning in 1949
are Wilbur Stanley, and his wife Eileen, Clarence W. Stanley, Cecil R. Furr, and his wife Jean,
and Paul H. Lavallee and his wife Beatrice. lxxvi
Owners Thomas and Esther Henry lived in the house until Thomas’ death on March 31,
1983, though it isn’t clear for how long its rooms were rented out, as the city directories stop
listing its residents in the 1950s. lxxvii By the 1990s, Esther was no longer living in the Whittredge
House, and it was no longer kept up. In 1997, when the MACRIS report was made, the house’s
windows were gone and had been boarded up.lxxviii
On March 26, 1998, current owners Michaeline D. La Roche and her husband Robert J.
Ouellette purchased the house and land from Esther Henry. Since then, its traditional windows
have been replaced, and the exterior restored, and the house at 144-146 Federal Street remains a
beautiful and historic example of Salem’s Federal architecture, a monument to the maritime
history of Salem.

�Built by Daniel Gregg, housewright, c.1804-1805
Expanded or rebuilt by John Stone between 1825-1839
1. March 15, 1804- Essex Registry of Deeds Book 173, Page 170: Jonathan Neal of Salem
sells property on Chestnut Street measuring 30 feet x 94 feet x 30 feet x 88 feet to
Daniel Gregg of Salem, housewright, for $561.56. The deed contains a right of way over
a passage measuring 10 feet, 6 inches over Benjamin Daland’s land to the west, so long
as it “shall be occupied as a site for a meetinghouse, but no longer” (this right of way is
included in deeds to the property into the 1920s). It includes “granted premises with the
appurtenances” but makes no mention of a dwelling house or any other buildings.
2. October 31, 1805- Essex Registry of Deeds Book 177, Page 70: Daniel Gregg
mortgages the property “together with the brick building thereon” back to Jonathan Neal
for $2,200.00
3. February 19, 1814- Essex Registry of Deeds Book 201, Page 296: Daniel Gregg, now of
Charlestown, sells the property outright of Jonathan Neal, merchant, for $1100.00. The
deed still includes “the brick building thereon” and explains that the premises are the
same that he mortgaged in 1805.
4. October 11, 1825- Essex Registry of Deeds Book 238, Page 247: Jonathan Neal sells
the property to John Stone alongside two other parcels of land on Chestnut and Summer
Streets for $6000.00. The property includes a “one story brick dwelling house and all
other buildings thereon.” It’s hard to tell if this is the current house, later expanded, or
not. When Jonathan Neal, Sr.’s estate was being settled in 1816 and land was
transferred between his sons Jonathan Jr. and Joseph, Jonathan Jr. is described as a
bricklayer (see Essex Registry of Deeds Book 210, Pages 254-255). If this is the same
person, he may have played a role in the construction. The eastern boundary is four feet
shorter, at 84 feet, in this deed than previously; the deed states a survey of all the land
sold therin was taken by Jonathan P. Saunders, Esq., on October 6, 1825.

�1833 — Henry Chew, mariner, purchases land from the Town of Salem
Amidst the rapidly expanding neighborhoods of the prosperous seaport town of Salem, Massachusetts a
mariner named Henry Chew purchased a plot of land in ‘Northfields’ (what is now North Street) from the
Town of Salem for one-hundred dollars on the 2nd of August, 1833. As there is no buildings noted on the
deed as being part of the property, it can be assumed that shortly after the land purchase, the Greek
Revival dwelling house was built on the land where it stands to this day.
2nd August 1833 — Northfields Property sold from Town of Salem to Henry Chew
Essex County Registry of Deeds
Book 273 | Page 15
This home remains one of the best examples of vernacular Greek Revival architecture in the City of
Salem, and has remained largely unchanged on its exterior through the decades of history that have
passed by its front door. Indeed, this house is one that is passed by millions of cars every year, as North
Street is one of the main thoroughfares in and out of the ‘Witch City’, and its unassuming appearance
belies its fascinating and extensive history. The architectural history standard text, A Field Guide to
American Houses, by Virginia & Lee McAlester notes the historical significance of Greek Revival
architecture, which is often associated with government buildings and the like, but the vernacular
examples hearken to the same historic influences:
Greek revival was the dominant style of American domestic
architecture during the interval from about 1830 to 1850 […] during
which its popularity led it to be called the National Style. [It]
especially flourished in those regions that were being rapidly
settled in the decades of the 1830s, ‘40s, and ‘50s.
3
�… archaeological investigation in the early 19th century emphasized
Greece as the Mother of Rome which, in turn, shifted interest to
Grecian models. Two additional factors enhanced Greek influence
in this country. Greece’s involvement in a war for independence
(1821-30) aroused much sympathy in the newly independent United
States; at the same time, the war of 1812 diminished American
affection for British influence, including the still dominant Adam
style in domestic architecture.
An important and enduring legacy of the Greek Revival to American
domestic architecture is the front-gabled house. Popularized during
the ascendance of the Greek Revival style in the early 19th century,
this became the predominant form for detached urban houses in cities
of the Northeast…1
The purchase of this property and the subsequent building is especially significant as the home’s builder,
Henry Chew, listed in the 1833 City Directory as a mariner living on North Street, was a free black man.
Records indicate that he lived at the Greek Revival home on North Street for a number of years with his
family, including his wife Venus (married in 1801) and several children. Although the Chew family were of
a higher social status than many of their enslaved counterparts in the South, life was not easy for them, as
the couple buried several children in the time that they lived at the home on North Street, including a son
born the year that the home was built. Just fourteen months later the little boy died of an unnamed illness
in 1834. Prior to the family’s residence on North Street, they had also buried a daughter, Hannah, who
had died in 1822 from consumption, what is today called tuberculosis, at only eight years old.
Unfortunately, not much more is known about the Chew family, as records available from the time are
scarce. As a free black family, they were likely involved in the Abolitionist movement that had taken hold
in the greater Boston and North Shore region. Furthermore, this property may have been involved in the
Underground Railroad, as there is evidence that escaped slaves on the Railroad went through Essex
County, including Salem, on their route North to freedom. Maybe it is appropriate to note the
coincidence here — that Henry Chew and his family purchased land and built their home along a
farmland path that would eventually be named ‘North Street’ before the house was sold to the next
generation of owner in 1842.

�1842 Salem City Directory — Henry Chew, Mariner, North [Street]
Following the alphabetical list of names of Salem’s white residents, the City Directory included a
separate section entitled “People of Color” — the 1842 publication of the directory notes Henry Chew as
living on North Street, and lists the places of work for the other Chew family members.

�1842 — Elisha Odlin purchases property from Henry Chew
According to the records found through the Essex County Registry of Deeds, Elisha Odlin purchased the
property on North Street from Henry Chew, including “a dwelling house and out buildings thereon” for
$100, plus interest. The deed also importantly notes about the North Street property, as “being the same
I (Henry Chew) purchased of the City or Town of Salem,” which refers to the earlier cited 1833 deed.
26th August 1842 —North Street Property sold from Henry Chew to Elisha Odlin
Essex County Registry of Deeds
Book 333 | Page 65
Elisha Odlin’s occupation is noted as ‘trader’ on the deed (above), which likely refers to the maritime
trade that supported Salem’s booming economy. Although there are several generations of men named
‘Elisha Odlin’ throughout the decades of the 18th and 19th centuries in Salem, the generation that aligns
with this deed suggests it was owned by Elisha Odlin, Jr. son of Samuel Odlin. Unfortunately, just five
years after Elisha Odlin Jr.’s purchase of the property on North Street, he died from consumption at only
twenty-seven years of age on November 19, 1848. Subsequently, his estate was divided among multiple
owners, until the property was procured by Pierce L. W. Gardner, and shortly thereafter sold to Caleb A.
Smith in 1855.

�1855 — North Street property becomes part of the Estate of Caleb A. Smith
The Essex County Registry of Deeds records records multiple purchases of property by Caleb Smith in
the mid-18th century, including a “parcel of land with the buildings thereon, situated on North Street in
Salem” described as “the premises to me (Caleb A. Smith) conveyed by the heirs of Elisha Odlin, by
various deeds on record.” Mr. Smith also appears on Historic Salem, Inc. historic house report records
as being the builder in 1861 of what is now 3-5 Ridgeway Street, less than a tenth of a mile from the North
Street property. For the next twelve years the Smith family would own the property and dwelling house
across the street from their own home on North Street, during which time the home would likely have
been used as a residence for the Smith family staff, or as an income property that they could rent out.

�1867 — Smith sells Estate, including North Street property, to William A. & Emily F. Creesy
Documentation shows that William A. Creesy, along with his wife Emily, purchased the estate from
Caleb A. Smith in 1867. Creesy had made his fortune, along with so many others, in Salem’s booming
maritime trade industry. According to the text entitled ‘Old Marblehead Sea Captains and Ships in
Which they Sailed” published by the Marblehead Historical Society in 1916, William Andrew Cressy
(whose name spelling seems to have varied depending on who recorded the documentation) was the
brother of Josiah P. Cressy, and was the captain for a number of Salem’s ships, including the Oneida,
Mary Whittredge, and Cohota.
1874 Salem City Directory
Captain William A. Creesy and his son and namesake, William A. Creesy Jr. are both noted as living at 145
North Street — their former home is now 3-5 Ridgeway Street, and the property at 198 North Street
belonged to part of the same Creesy Estate.
The 1867 Deed, dated March 14th, notes and references the premises as being the same that were
purchased by Smith in 1855 from Pierce L. W. Gardner:
…the real estate in said Salem which is bounded commencing at the
Southwest corner and running Northwesterly by North Street about one
hundred and forty eight feet to the land of Dearborn about four hundred
and twenty feet to land of Cross, then turning and running Southerly by
land of Cross about one hundred and thirty feet to the land of Newhall,
then turning and running Southwesterly by said Newhall’s land to North
Street and the said point begun at. […] Being the same premises conveyed
to Caleb A. Smith by Pierce L. W. Gardner by deed dated May 5, 1855,
recorded in the Registry of Deeds for Essex County in Book 513 Leaf 13.

�1886-1889 Massachusetts State and Federal Naturalization Records
Petition for Naturalization — David Sinclair
Volume 3 | No. 4692-ixv3
10
�Upon William A. Creesy’s passing in 1874, the Creesy Estate became the property of Mrs. Emily F.
Cressey (whose name spelling yet again changed on subsequent documentation). This is also around the
same time frame that the earliest map and atlas images appear showing the property at what is now 198
North Street. By 1872 a carpenter named David E. Sinclair and his family are listed in the City Directories
as living at 148 North Street (now 198).
1872 Salem City Map
This clip from an 1872 publication that included a map of Salem, Massachusetts Ward 6 area of North
Salem, while the arrow indicates the North Street property that is the subject of this report.
The larger historic context is important to note before recording the Sinclair’s history at 198 North
Street: as noted earlier, the neighborhood of North Salem was rapidly becoming more densely populated
throughout the 19th century, including a major renovation completed by the city around 1871 near what is
now the North Street Bridge (adjacent to the MBTA Commuter Rail station). As a result, land parcels
were subdivided as well as the numbering of the dwelling houses throughout the neighborhood,
including on North Street, where in the time period between 1870 and 1880 the address for the North
Street house that is the subject of this report changed from 148 to 198 North Street. For this reason,
11
�earlier historic records of this property proposed a feasible theory that the building had been moved from
another parcel of land to its current current location, but further research confirms that the dwelling
house at 198 North Street has been on its current foundation since the area was called ‘Northfields’ and
the path that now bears the name North Street was little more than a passageway for merchants, goods,
and travelers to and from Danvers.
1870-c.1887 — David E. Sinclair & Family live at North Street property dwelling house
Prior to living at the home that would become 198 North Street for nearly two decades, David Sinclair,
housewright, and his family lived at a number of addresses throughout Salem. Naturalization records
note David Sinclair’s immigration to Salem on the 9th of November, 1849. He and his young wife
Margaret are listed on the 1850 Federal Census as living in Ward 1 along with Catherine Humber, Ann
Garret, Rebecca Phillips, and James A. Humber. The couple soon had a family of their own, and by 1853
are listed as living at 14 Turner Street (in Ward I of Salem, Mass.), and then at 15 Mall Street by 1855.
The 1860 US Federal Census provides more detail about the Sinclair family ten years after the couple
first appeared on Federal records. The family is listed as living in Ward 3, confirmed by the 1861 Salem
City Directory which notes the family’s address as 57 Broad Street. In 1860 the family included Mr. David
Sinclair, a 35 year-old carpenter, his wife Margaret, now 27 years old attended to the house and the
children: David A., age 9; Charles H., age 6, and 2-year-old Frank.
The family of five did not remain in the Broad Street neighborhood of Ward 3 very long, however, as the
American Civil War called Mr. Sinclair to join the Union Army, the family moved once again, this time to
15 Essex Street in Salem’s Derby Street neighborhood, during the absence of David. Mr. Sinclair’s
naturalization records note his voluntary enlistment into the Army of the United States on October 3rd,
1861 until he was honorably discharged in January of 1866. This is confirmed through Salem City
directories that list David Sinclair as serving with Company B of the 24th Army Regiment. Upon the
ending of the war, David Sinclair returned to his family at 15 Essex Street where they remained until 1870,
when the US Federal Census lists the Sinclair family as living in the 6th Ward of the City: North Salem.
12
�By the 1870 recording of the US Federal Census, the Sinclair family had changed in the preceding
decade; the two oldest Sinclair boys, David and Charles Sinclair, now 19 and 16 years old, no longer are
listed as living with the family (for reasons yet discovered). David Sinclair, now 44 years old, is again
listed as a carpenter, his wife Margaret, now 37, continued to maintain the family home and raise the
younger Sinclair children: Joseph F. Sinclair, 12 (most likely the ‘F’ meaning ‘Frank’ or ‘Francis’ — the
youngest Sinclair child from the 1860 Census), a 3-year-old daughter, Annie F. Sinclair, and 7-month-old
Stephen H. Sinclair. In all, David and Margaret Sinclair would raise four boys and one girl during their
lives and time lived at 198 North Street.
1870 US Federal Census — Salem, Mass. — Ward 6
The Sinclair family, including David Sinclair with his occupation listed as ‘carpenter, Margaret E.
Sinclair as keeping house, and their 3 children, Joseph (12), Annie (3), and Stephen (7 months).
Salem City Directories during the Sinclair tenure at the North Street property show the change in
address for the home from 148 to 198 North Street between 1876 and 1878, just a few years after the
family’s first appearance at the address. Throughout their time at the residence David Sinclair is listed as
a carpenter by trade through the 1886 City Directory, after which he and his family moved to 29 Osborne
Street by 1888.
13
�1888-1925 — 198 North Street remains part of the Cressey Estate while rented by several tenants
While the estate was owned and managed by the widow of William Creesy, Emily F. Cressey, the
property at 198 North Street was home to several tenants, whose names and occupations are traceable
though the Salem City Directories:
1888-c1896 : John E. Scanlan — Morocco Dresser
“Morocco Dresser” is a specialization in leather finishing; specifically, ‘morocco’ referred to a
type of goat skin leather that is much lighter than other 19th and 20th century finished leathers,
and a ‘dresser’ tanned the leather. This type of leather work was most often used in shoe leather
applications, so Mr. Scanlan likely worked with of one of the many shoe factories in Salem and
the greater North Shore region of Boston.
1897 : Walter A. Tarr — Shoe Trimmer
1899 : Ernest A. Oliver — Electrician
1901 : George M. Sinclair — Clerk
1903-1904 : Arthur W. Stevens — Shoemaker
1905-1910 : Frank J. Verry — Brakeman for the Boston & Maine Railroad
1911-1912 : Oliver Collette — Driver
1913 : Otis H. Pickard — Plumber
1914 : Albert Dyer — Teamster
In the early 20th century, ‘teamster’ referred to a person whose occupation it was to manage and
be in charge of a team of horses, which could be used for anything from transportation to fire
brigades.
1915 : Albert Nolet — Carpenter
1916-1920 — Charles W. Chapman — Machinist
(& Martha A. Chapman)
1921-1922 — John F. Farnsworth — Bricklayer
(& Sadie J. Farnsworth)
1924-1926 — William A Walsh — Leatherworker
(& Blanche Walsh)
14
�1925 — The Heirs of Emily F. Cressy sell the property at 198 North Street to Arthur W. & Bessie M.
Dorman
The property at 198 North Street remained the property of the Cressy Family until 1925, at which time
the Essex County Registry of Deeds records indicate the land belonging to the Estate of Emily F. Cressey
on the even-numbered side of North Street was sold to Arthur W. & Bessie M. Doorman. Importantly,
this deed references an official survey plan recorded by Civil Engineer Thomas A. Appleton of the
property entitled “Land of Estate of Emily F. Cressy, Salem, Mass.” which clearly depicts the properties
at both 198 and 196 North Street.
30th March 1925 — 198 North Street sold from Cressy Estate to Arthur W. & Bessie M. Dorman

�After being in the Cressy family for nearly six
decades since 1867, Arthur & Bessie Dorman
purchased the property at 198 North Street and
maintained its ownership until 1949. The City
Directories give insight to the tenants of the Greek
Revival house at 198 North Street:
January 1925
Land of Emily F. Cressy — Salem, Mass.

�1949 — Salem Housing Authority issues an ‘Order of Taking’ for 198 North Street
Following the second World War, the nation’s burgeoning population, known as the ‘Baby Boom’
created a need for veteran’s housing throughout the country, including in Salem, Massachusetts. As a
result, the property that had been purchased by Arthur and Bessie Dorman in 1925 was the subject of an
official ‘Order of Taking’ by the Salem Housing Authority, by order of an official State-Aided Housing
Project. Two documents record this transaction: the Essex County Registry of Deeds Book 3662 Page
213, and the Plan of Land for the ‘State-Aided Housing Project, Salem #200-1’, which included the
dwelling houses at 198 and 196 North Street, as well as two additional parcels of land:
17
�1949-1983 — 198 North Street owned by the Salem Housing Authority
Following the government seizure of the property at 198 North Street, the property is listed as ‘Vacant’ in
the 1950 Salem City Directory. Available City Directories only give insight to tenants through 1963; the
recorded residents of 198 North Street through the early 1960s create a more detailed look into this
property’s extensive history:
1951-1953 — Ernest P. Snow — Leatherworker
(& Anna P. Snow)
1954-1962 — Emerson E. Pollock — Masonic Temple Superintendent
(& Lucy C. Pollock)
1964— Leo W. Dragon —- Leatherworker at A. C. Lawrence
The final document of this report correlates to the 1983 Deed regarding the property at 198 North Street,
by which time the property had been in the ownership and management of a trustee of Allyn Realty Trust.
Recorded in October of 1983, the deed and plan record the sale of the property from being managed as
State-Aided housing project to a private home, which it remains to this day.

features.
Evaluate the characteristics
of the building in terms of other buildings within the
Located at the northeast corner of Botts Court, the house at 18 Chestnut Street is a three-story, hip-roofed, wood-frame
residence with a foreshortened third story. It is capped by an asphalt hip roof with two large brick chimneys. The house is
oriented with its narrow three-bay end to the street. Outlining the clapboarded house are simple wooden comerboards and a
plain watertable. It rests on a coursed granite foundation with cobblestone on the side elevation. In 1888 the principal
entrance was moved from the five-bay west side to the present sidehall entrance on the south side. The six-panel door is
capped by a delicate segmental fanlight with geometric tracery which also fills the sidelights. The Doric entrance porch
consists of a flat roof with a thin projecting cornice and triglyphs, lacking an entablature. Modillions decorate the underside.
Supporting the roof are reeded side timbers supported by round columns and square attached pilasters. Above the entrance is
a flat-roofed rectangular bay window containing 1/1 windows with recessed panels below. The remaining windows contain
6/6 sash with molded surrounds and blinds.
The wooden spindle fence in front of the house displays simple posts capped by balls..
HISTORICAL NARRATIVE
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.
According to Tplles, the Bott-Fabens House may be the oldest surviving residence on Chestnut Street and may predate 1800,
although this has not been firmly documented. The house may have been built before Chestnut Street was laid out in 1796.
The first owner was saddler, James B. Bott although it is not clear if he ever lived here. Bott emigrated from Tudbury,
England in 1768 and established a shop on Essex Street constructing fancy carriages. (About 1783 he constructed a house
nearby at 5 Botts Court for his own use). The Chestnut Street building seems to have served as a multi-family residence in its
early years. Mjss Mary Ome Pickering was bom in the house in 1805. The Prescott family lived here from about 1825 to
1JJB2 (Wiswall, p. 210). For about 16 months in 1846 and 1847, while serving as surveyor of the Port of Salem and Beverly,
Nathaniel Hawthorne occupied this house with his family (Cousins: 81). Dr. David Coggin lived in the house from 18811887. Augustus and Benjamin Fabens purchased the building in 1888 and converted it to a single-family house. They also
inoved the entrance from the west elevation to the south end. The Fabens family continued to own the property until 1905.
The Misses Lathrop occupied the house from 1924 until at least 1939 (Wiswall). Later residents included Oliver and Ann
Goodell, Mrs. Rebecca Bradley and Mrs. Lillian Phillips and Jacqueline Frederickson.

�The house lot that we now think of as 47 Essex Street in Salem first starts to emerge in
the early nineteenth century, although no deed mentions a house standing on the property until
1872; city directories show that there was a dwelling house at 47 Essex by 1861. On June 9,
1804, Bernard and Lois Green and Mary Diman, singlewoman, all of Malden, sold “part of the
estate of the Rev. James Diman, given by will to his daughters Mary and Lois, bounded northerly
by the Rev. William Bentley’s meetinghouse, easterly on Hardy Street, southerly on land of said
Lois and Mary, westerly on land formerly Thomas Palfrey’s…” to Benjamin Hodges of Salem
(Essex Registry of Deed, Book 175, Page 24). The lot is described as running twenty-five feet
along Hardy Street and twenty-five feet across to the land of Rev. Bentley’s East (Unitarian)
Meetinghouse. It’s unclear how this parcel of land originally came into the possession of the
Rev. James Diman; Essex deeds list many variants of the name, of which Diamond is the most
common, and several property transactions for 18th century Diamonds appear in the records,
though none grant property to James Diman.
The Diman heirs sold the lot to Benjamin Hodges and it passed into the hands of the
widow Mary Silsbee and two singlewomen (most likely her sisters), Hannah and Elizabeth
Hodges. These were probably the daughters of Benjamin Hodges, though deeds to not confirm
this, and they sold the lot to a group of men heavily involved in Salem’s East Meetinghouse:
Thomas Downing, William Hunt, William B. Parker, and William Webb, Jr., for $215 on May
28th, 1846 (Registry of Deeds, Book 368, Pages 123-124). The East Meetinghouse was moving
and was busily engaging in property sales at this time, and when the lot was sold again, it was
reconfigured to include land from the former meetinghouse lot that had been conveyed to the
same group of men just a few weeks earlier. On September 23, 1847, the same four men (with
�two of their wives) sold to William H. Lovejoy, Gentleman, ‘a parcel of land...between Hardy
and Bentley Streets... at the northwestern corner of land of Ebenezer Slocum, thence running
northerly by said Bentley Street as recently widened by the city, to Essex Street…” and on to
Hardy Street. This deed describes the land as “estates conveyed to us by Benjamin Upton and
other Committee of the East Society” as well as the Silsbee-Hodges women, so it’s clear that the
lot now included some of the East Meetinghouse property that once adjoined it (Registry of
Deeds, Book 378, Page 9). William H. Lovejoy paid $1134 for his new property; given the
dramatic difference in the price paid by for the property after less than a year and a half, the lot
must have expanded considerably.
Lovejoy and his wife Maria did not keep all of this property long; they sold a portion of
“the estate conveyed to me by Thomas Downing and others” to William M. Harrow of Salem,
Mariner, on September 23, 1847, for $700 (Registry of Deeds, Book 403, Page 88). The
dimensions described in this deed are very much as they remain in every transaction to follow:
33’10” along northerly Essex Street, 92’ along Bentley Street, 39’6” along the southerly edge of
the property, and 91” along the easterly edge. William Harrow might have expected to return to
Salem when he purchased this property, but perhaps seafaring or the California Gold Rush
changed his plans. When he sold the property on July 24, 1854, he is described as “of the city of
Sacramento, State of California” (Registry of Deeds, Book 498, Page 160). The property was
purchased by J. Lovett Whipple for $900.
It seems to be J. Lovett Whipple who finally decided to build a house on this
much-handled chunk of land. No building is mentioned when he purchased the house from
William Harrow, but when it was next sold in 1872, the property is described as “a certain plot of
�land with a dwelling house thereon.” Given the architectural style of the house, a date of
1854-1872 makes perfect sense. Jonathan Lovett Whipple was thirty years old when he
purchased the land on which he presumably planned to build his own home. The fourth of seven
children of Jonathan and Mary Cloutman Whipple, he was born April 19, 1824, in Salem (unless
otherwise noted, birth, marriage, and death dates are derived from the Salem Vital Records). In
1846, the “Naumkeag Directory,” the 19th century forerunner of the city telephone directory,
lists J. Lovett Whipple as a turner living, most appropriately, at 33 Turner Street in Salem. This
is the same address listed for his sister Mary Elisa, a “tailoress,” and for J. Lovett and his mother
in 1851. Two of his brothers, “Stephen Whipple & Brother,” ran a gum copal works at 35 Turner
Street, and their house is listed as 12 Hardy Street (theri father, Jonathan Whipple, is listed as
proprietor in 1846, when Stephen is still described as a carpenter). The 1850 Directory also
informs us that J. Lovett Whipple was treasurer of the Second Universalist church and a fireman
serving as clerk of Engine No. 4, the “Lafayette.” When J. Lovett Whipple bought the property at
47 Essex, he was investing in a neighborhood that he knew well, positioned very close to his
own family. He may have been preparing for his own wedding when he bought the property, as
he married Emma N. Dodge in South Danvers (now Peabody) on September 18, 1855, and
together they had three children. It seems likely the Whipples built their house around this time.
Sadly, it appears their happiness did not last long: J. Lovett Whipple died in Salem in
May 1860, aged only 36. The cause of death is listed as consumption (tuberculosis), an epidemic
disease in 19th century America; Whipple’s younger brother George Augustus died of it in 1841,
almost twenty years earlier. Probate records describe J. Lovett Whipple as a wheelwright (a trade
certainly encompassing his previously listed trade as a turner), though his death record describes
�him as working in his brother’s trade, gum copal. Gum copal is a tropical resin that was used as a
wood varnish, so there may in fact be a link between the trades. His estate was valued at
$3,757.77, and his widow paid off debts to both his sister Mary and several different creditors,
ranging from two local doctors (perhaps those who attended J. Lovett Whipple’s final illness) to
the Salem Register subscription to taxes and insurance. A few items were sold, including a
“daguerretype machine” sold at a profit of $2.
The “Naumkeag Directory” shows that the houses around 47 Essex were occupied by a
mixed array of sea captains, mariners, and skilled tradespeople during the 1860s. “Mrs. J. Lovett
Whipple” is listed at 47 Essex Street in 1861, demonstrating that there was indeed a house on the
property by 1861. Emma Dodge Whipple’s brothers-in-law, Albert and Stephen Whipple, were
still running their gum copal works at 35 Turner Street, but Albert’s house is listed as 45 Essex
Street. Perhaps it was a comfort to Emma Whipple to remain next door to her husband’s brother
while raising three young children. Even if so, she decided to remarry, probably in about five
years after J Lovett Whipple’s death.: Emma N. Whipple of MAssachusetts married Moses W.
George of Plymouth, New Hampshire, on December 18, 1865 (Moses W. George is later
referenced alongside one of the Whipple sons in a deed for 47 Essex Street). “Mrs. J. Lovett
Whipple” is still listed in residence at 47 Essex Street in the Naumkeag Directory for 1866;
perhaps the couple decided to live in Emma Whipple’s own home, or perhaps the late December
wedding simply wasn’t reflected in the city directory.
On October 4, 1872, J. Lovett Whipple’s widow, now Emma N. George, sold the house
on behalf of her three children, Lovett D., Frank M., and Emma E. Whipple, all three of whom
were still legally minors (Registry of Deeds, Book 866, Page 70). The former Mrs. Whipple, now
�guardian of her three children, relinquished her own right of dower to the property and
auctioned it to the highest bidder. It sold to Mrs. Caroline M. Gage, wife of Andrew F. Gage of
Salem, “in her own right without interference or control of her husband’ for $5700. The house
and plot of land passed from one woman to another. One may have sold it of necessity in order to
support her children’s future, while another purchased it for her own pleasure or support.
According to the 1870 U.S. Census, Caroline M. Gage was born in Maine and lived in Ward 1 in
Salem (which included 47 Essex), keeping house for her husband Andrew, the superintendent of
a paint factory, and their teenage children Flora and George. She would have been about 47
years old when she bought the house in 1872, though her reasons and resources for the purchase
are unknown.
The property remained in the hands of Caroline Gage and her heirs until 1906, when Mrs.
Gage’s heirs sold it to Patrick Joseph Kelley (Registry of Deeds Book 1851, Pages 13-15). Alice
R. Meek of Salem, Arthur B. and Carrie Spaulding of Peabody, and Mary Gage of Duluth,
Minnesota (all single) sold “part of the real estate devised to us by Caroline M. Gage” in October
1906. This marked the transfer of 47 Essex Street not only from one family to another, but from
Anglo-Americans to Irish Americans, from one well-established ethnic group to more recent
immigrants. The house was eventually inherited by Patrick Kelley’s daughter, Ruth M. Harrison,
who retained possession until 1952.
Ruth Harrison sold the house and lot to husband and wife Theodore F. and Amelia F.
Buchynski of Hamilton, who bought, sold, and mortgaged several properties in both Hamilton
and Salem in the 1950s (Registry of Deeds Book 3941, Page 472). The eastern end of Essex and
�Derby Streets was a Slavic immigrant neighborhood in the first half of the 20th century; perhaps
the Buchynskis had family connections to the neighborhood.
In 1958, Amelia Buchynski sold the house to Vienna C. Tarchini (Registry of Deeds
Book 4439, Page 412). When Tarchini sold the house in turn to Henry Hilder in 1985, she
reserved the right to “occupy, use, and enjoy said premises for her lifetime” (Registry of Deeds
Book 7965, Page 102). Eight years later, Hilder sold the house to Peter A. Sholds and Mary
Frances Sholds.

30 Northey Street, Salem
According to available evidence, this house was built for Nathaniel Appleton, Jr.,
cabinet-maker, c.1809.
Nathaniel Appleton Jr. (1782-1859) was one of Salem's leading cabinet-makers
(furniture..:makers) at a time when Salem was famous for the quality of its
furniture. On 22 September 1809, for $748.14 Abijah Northey, Salem merchant,
sold to Nathaniel Appleton, Jr., cabinet maker, a piece of land on Northey Street
"with all the buildings thereon" (ED 187:261). The "buildings" are not described
further, and may have been a barn, shop, or shed. The lot was bounded westerly
50' on Northey Street, southerly 100' on land of Farrington and on Putnam,
easterly 50' on Northey land, northerly 100' on Northey land. That same day,
Mr. Appleton (and wife Susanna Foster Appleton) mortgaged the property for the
full purchase price to Mr. Northey (ED 187:261-2).
There is little doubt that Mr. Appleton resided here by 1811, for in the valuation
of that year, for ward two, he is taxed on "part house Northey Street and shop
$600 ," with stock of $100 and income of $100. The "part house" tax was
doubtless because he rented out rooms of the house to another, who would have
been taxed for that part. This is the first reference to Mr. Appleton's residing on
Northey Street, but that's because the valuations ·of earlier years do not mention
the streets on which people lived.
The 1812 valuation listing is the same as for 1811 but does not mention Northey
Street. The 1809 valuation lists Mr. Appleton in ward two, taxed for "part house
& shop" $500, stock $300, income $200 (this is the year he purchased the
property from Mr. Northey); in 1810 his listing was the same except he paid tax
for 2 polls (adult males) and $700 not $500 was the realty tax.
Before that, Mr. Appleton was listed in 1806 in ward two and taxed $400 for ~
shop and part house, with $400 stock and $300 income; in 1807 $500 for the part
house & shop, $400 stock, $200 income; in 1808 the same but $200 stock and
-$100 income-both ward two. All of this is inconclusive with regard to the
construction date of this house, but it seems likely that he built the main house to
its present appearance soon after the purchase in 1809, perhaps having removed
the existing "buildings." A survey of the house (second and third floor rooms)
and cellar leads to ·the conclusion that it was built all of a piece .. The
1
�underpinning is original, with large hewn beams and joists, and arched brick
chimney foundations (a double arch on the east side). The main house has a
granite foundation on fieldstone. The trim and features (frames, chimney-pieces,
winder staircase, etc.) all date from the "Federal" period, consistent with a date of
1809, as is the general plan and form, being a three-story hip-roof house, five
bays by two. A side two-story ell (currently being enlarged to three stories),
judging from the foundation, was an early addition but had no chimney in it (the
old ell structure was evidently razed recently after a fire damaged it).
Nathaniel Appleton Jr. was a native of Ipswich, where he was born in 1782,
during the Revolutionary War, the middle child of the nine of Benjamin Appleton
and Mary Tilton. As a boy of thirteen or so, he was apprenticed to learn the trade
of a cabinet-maker, and may have been bound to a Salem master. William
Appleton (1765-1822), arelative and a cabinet-maker, had left Ipswich and
settled in Salem; and it may have been he to whom Nathaniel was apprenticed. It
is also possible that his masters were Elijah & Jacob Sanderson, who, in
partnership with Josiah Austin, were Salem's leading cabinet-makers in the
1780s and 1790s.
During these years, Salem rose to eminence in young America on the basis of
international trade: from Salem, the merchants and mariners pushed their ships
and cargoes into all parts of the known world, and they did so with astonishing
success. For a period of about 25 years, Salem was a famous center of
commercial enterprise: by virtue of competing fiercely, pioneering new routes,
and opening and dominating new markets, Salem won a high place in the world.
Basket Derby, William Gray, Eben Beckford, and Joseph Peabody were the
town's commercial leaders. In 1784, Derby began Salem's trade with Russia;
and in 1784 and 1785 he dispatched trading vessels to Africa and China,
respectively. Voyages to India soon followed, and to the Spice Islands and
Pepper Islands (Sumatra, Java, Malaya, etc.). These new markets-and the
coffee trade, which would be opened in 1798 with Mocha, Arabia-brought great
riches to the merchants, and began to raise the level of wealth throughout the
town: new ships were bought and ~uilt, 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 batik, the Essex Bank, was
founded, although it "existed in experiment a long time before it was
incorporated," per Rev. William Bentley. From a population of 7921 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 tax-free and essentially to 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, post-French-Revolution, was at war with England and was impounding
American shipping. After Pres. Adams' 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
cargoes in French ports were susceptible to seizure. The quasi-war brought about
a political split within the- Salem population. Those who favored 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, who were eager to go to war with France. They were led locally by
the Derby family. Those who favored peace with France (and who admired
France for overthrowing the monarchy, even while deploring the excesses of the
revolutionaries) were the Anti-Federalists, who later became aligned with Pres.
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 ofHasket "King" Derby in 1799 his family's power waned.
In 1800, Adams negotiated peace with France and fired Pickering, his refractory
Secretary of State. 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 cargoes 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 maldng merry
over potations of New England rum, which Salem manufactured in abundance."
(from Hurd's History ofEssex County, 1888, p.65).
The Crowninshields, led by brother Jacob,-were especially successful, as their
hQldings rose from three -vessels in 1800 to several in 1803. Their bailiwick, the
Derby Street district, .seemed almost to be a 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. From the wharves were
carted all manner of strange fruits and blue and red patterned china and piles of
gorgeous silks and figured cloths. The greatest of the Salem merchants at this
time was William "Billy" Gray, who owned 36 large vessels--15 ships, 7 barks,
13 brigs, 1schooner--by1808. 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 supported 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 fishermen. In the 1790s, Federal
Street, lmown as New Street, had more empty lots than fine houses. Chestnut
Streetdid 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, and, 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 Essex-Washington Street axis, most were erected on or
near Washington Square or in the Federalist "west end" (Chestnut, Federal, and
upper Essex Streets). The architectural style (called "Federal" today) had been
developed by the Adam brother_s 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) was self-educated and made his living primarily as
a wood-carver and carpenter, because architecture was not then a profession or
highly valued as a serviee. He was quick to adapt the Bulfinch style to Salem's
larger lots. Mclntire'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 ·
4
�(Mclntire'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 Hasket 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. It is likely that Samuel Mcintire, in
his role as carver, knew and perhaps worked with young Nathaniel Appleton,
furniture-maker.
In 1803, when Nathaniel Appleton was 21 Gust about the time he would have
become. a journeyman), his name was listed among ten Salem cabinetmakers, led
by the Sandersons, who were shipping 50 cases of mahogany furniture to Brazil-Nathaniel's shipment was valued at $226.50 (EIHC 70:330).
He served out his apprenticeship, and on 7 July 1805 married Susannah Foster
Stone, 17, ofBeverly. They joined the Tabernacle Church, an orthodox
congregational society. He went into the cabinet-making business by 1806 with a
Mr. Ives as Appleton & Ives (see EIHC 70:333). He was known as Nathaniel
Appleton Jr. because there was another Nathaniel Appleton in Salem, an older
man who was a merchant. · Mr. Appleton was an excellent craftsman, whose
pieces are highlyvalued to day. In the September, 1933, issue of the magazine
Antiques (pp.90-91), Fiske Kimball wrote about.Appleton's work. One ofhis
pieces, a table, illustrated an article about Salem furniture (EIHC), in which it is
noted that Joseph True and Samuel F. Mcintire carved some pieces for Mr.
Appleton, and that he worked in the Sheraton style.

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
5
�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. 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 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 typical
of Salem's young seafarers, who fell prey to malaria and other diseases of the
Caribbean and Pacific tropics.
In 1806 the Derbys extended their wharf far out into the harbor, tripling its
previous length. This they did to create more space for warehouses and shipberths in the deeper water, at just about the time that the Crowninshields had built
their great India Wharf at the foot of now-Webb Street. The other important
wharves were Forrester's (now Central, just west of Derby Wharf), and Union
Wharf at the foot of Union Street; and then, father to the west, a number of
smaller wharves extended into the South River (filled in during the late 1800s),
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.
Salem's boom came to an end with a crash in January, 1808, 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
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, 1809.
Shunned by the other Salem merchants for his support of the Embargo, the
eminent Billy Gray took his large fleet of ships-fully one-third of Salem's
tonnage-and moved to Boston, whose commerce was thereby much augmented.
Gray's removal eliminated a huge amount of Salem wealth, shipping, importexport cargoes, and local employment. Gray soon switched from the Federalist
party, and was elected Lt. Governor under Gov. Elbridge Gerry, a native of
Marblehead. Salem resumed its seafaring commerce for three years, but still the
British preyed on American shipping; and in June, 1812, war was declared
against Britain.
6
�Although the merchants had tried to prevent 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 ofBritish supply vessels. While many of the town's men were woilnded 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 3 0ton 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, DC, and burned the Capitol and the White
House. Along the western frontier, U.S. forces were successful against the weak
English forces; and, as 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. 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 Englarid
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 led
the extreme Federalists in proposing a series of demands which, if11ot met by the
federal government, could lead to New England's seceding from the United
States; but the Pickering faction was countered by Harrison G. Otis of Boston and
the moderate Federalists, who prevailed in sending a moderate message to
Congress.
At last, in February, 1815, peace was restored.
Post-war, the Salem merchants rebuilt their fleets and resumed their worldwide
trade, slowly at first, and then to great effect. Many new partnerships were
formed . .The pre-war partisan politics of the town were not resumed post-war, as
the middle-class "mechanics" (artisans) became more powerful and brought
abo-µt civic harmony, largely through the Salem Charitable Mechanic Association
(founded 1817). Nathaniel Appleton, Jr., was~ founding member of this
7
�organization, whose other cabinet-makers, in 1817, were Nehemiah Adams,
Cotton Bennett, William Hook, Henry Huban, William Haskell, Jr., John Jewett,
John Mead, John P. McQuillin, Thomas Needham, Francis Pulsifer, Mark
Pitman, Elliott Smith, Jeremiah Staniford, and Elijah Sanderson (EIHC 42). 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 in 1819, on the site of the George Crowninshield
mansion, at the head of Derby Wharf.
In 1820, Nathaniel Appleton, 3 7, had a household of ten persons here, his own
family members and at least three young men working as apprentices in his
cabinet-making business. In those days, apprentices, who were legally bound not
to marry until they had served out their time, were usually taken into the family,
domiciled in its home, and treated more or less as sons. The Appletons
themselves had three little girls, Susan, Sarah, and Ellen. In addition to
Nathaniel, there were five men and teenage boys, three of whom were listed as
engaged in manufacturing (furniture). The other two may have been boarders.
The identities of these five are unknown (see 1820 census, ward two p.48/68).
The Appleton cabinet-maldng business prospered, evidently. A few receipts have
survived, showing that in 1828 Capt. John Nichols paid $25 for a mahogany
bureau, $18 for a Grecian card table, $16 for eightfancy chairs, and $4.50 for six ·
common chairs. Joseph G. Waters Esq. was another customer. In 1830 Mr.
Appleton made the mahogany coffin with nameplate for $27 for the heirs of Mr.
Paul Upton (see PEM family manuscripts). These were typical of the work he
did for many Salem customers.
In March, 1825, for $160 Abijah Northey (Jr.), merchant, sold to Nathaniel
Appleton, cabinet maker, a lot adjoining the homestead. It fronted 50' on Lemon
Street and ran back 93' to the east side of the Appleton lot (ED 237:281). Next
year, in July, Mr. Northey for $27.50 sold to Mr. Appleton, cabinet maker, a strip
of land fronting 5' on Northey Street and bounding northwesterly 100' on
Cleveland land, northeasterly 5' onland of Sawyer, and 100' on Appleton land
(ED 242:63). With these additions, Mr. Appleton completed his homestead lot,
and so it remained for the rest of his life, running all the way to Lemon Street. It
should be noted that he seller, Abijah Northey Jr. (1774-1853), a merchantJike
his father, was also a talented marine artist and architect, and submitted an
interesting design·in the competition f~r Salem's new Custom House in 1818 (see
pp. 48-9, More Marine Paintings & Drawings in the Peabody Museum, PCF.
Smith, editor).
8
�Into the 1820s Salem's 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. Thus began a huge and lucrative trade in which Salem dominated; and
its vessels thus gained access to all of the east African ports.
Despite these new trade routes, in general Salem's maritime foreign commerce
fell off sharply in the late 1820s. Imports in Salem ships were supplanted by the
goods that were now being manufactured in great quantities in America. 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 ), which creat~d great wealth for their
investors; and in general it seemed that the tide of opportunity was ebbing away
from Salem. In an ingenious attempt 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 1826 to raise the money to dam the North River for
industrial power. The project, which began with much promise, was suspended
in 1827, which demoralized the town even more, and 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 wealthy merchant, resided in the house now called the Gardner-:Pingree house, on Essex Street. One night, intruders broke into his mansion and
stabbed him to death. All of Salem buzzed with the news of murderous thugs;
but the killer was a Crowninshield-(a fallen son of one of the five brothers; he
killed himself in jail): He had been hired by his friends, Capt. White's own
relatives, Capt. Joseph Knapp and his brother Frank (they would be executed).
After the investigation and trial uncovered much that was lurid about Salem,
more of the respectable families quit the now-notorious town.
In 1832, Susan A. Appleton became the first of the three Appleton daughters to
marry. Her husband was Capt. Isaiah Woodbury, a Salem shipmaster who hailed
from Boxford. 1n 1834 for $1100 Capt. Woodbury purchased a house and three
acres in Boxford from Josiah Woodbury (ED 279:6). This Boxford property may
have been used as a summer place and tenant farm, for Capt. Woodbury resided
in Salem, here at this house (per '1834 valuation). Isaiah Woodbury and Susan
Appleton had two sons, Nathaniel and Isaiah Jr., in the 1830s. Capt. Woodbury
was probably often away from home, commanding vessels on overseas voyages.
9
�In August, 1831, Mr. Appleton had a chance to buy a half-interest in a house on
Hardy Street, and for $600 he made the purchase (ED 262:43). The house was
occupied in 1831 by Henry Archer Jr. and a Mr. Kehew (see 1831 valuation
directory). At that time, Mr. Appleton served as agent for the property, on Derby
Street, owned by the heirs of Rev. James Dimond, formerly parson of the East
Church, consisting of a large lot of land and two houses at the comer of Derby.
and Hardy Streets. Mr. Appleton himself evidently occupied a building on this
land as his cabinet shop (see 1831 valuation-directory).
As the 1830s advanced, Salem's remaining merchants had to take their equity out
of wharves and warehouses and ships and put it into manufacturing and
transportation, as the advent of railroads and canals diverted both capital and
trade away from the coast S.ome 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; and Salem slumped badly.
Despite all, Salem was chartered as a city in 1836. 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 183 7, a brief, sharp, nationwide economic depression, caused even more
Salem families to head west in search of fortune and a better future.
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. Throughout the 1830s, the
leaders of Salem scrambled to re-invent an economy for the~r 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 alum and blue
vitriol was a specialty; and it proved a very successful business. Salem's whalefishery, active for many years in the early 1800s, led, in the 1830s, 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 were
retooled for making high-quality white lead and sheet lead (the approach to
Marblehead is still called Lead Mills Hill, although the empty mill buildings
burned down in 1960s).
10
�These enterprises were a start toward taking Salem in a new direction. In 183 8
the Eastern Rail Road, headquartered in Salem, began operating between Boston
and Salem, whic~ 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.
By 1840, new styles of furniture were in vogue, and Mr. Appleton, now in his
late 50s, evidently had refocused his work away from the making of fine
furniture, since most furniture was now produced using a partly-machined
process rather than pure hand-craft. He chose to go into the business of making
coffins, evidently on a large scale, at his shop and store at the northwest comer of
Derby and Hardy Streets. At home, he and his wife Susan, in their unit, had just
one girl, aged 10-15, probably a servant; and in the other unit were the
Woodburys, Capt. Isaiah, Susan, and their two little sons, Isaiah Jr. and Nathaniel
A., and a maidservant in her late tens. (1840 census, p.259). The house was then
numbered 14.
In the 1840s, as more industrial methods and machines were introduced, new
companies in new lines of business arose in Salem. The tanning and curing of
leather was very important by the mid-1800s. 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. Also in the 1840s, a new method was introduced to make
possible high-volrime 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 changed, as hundreds of Irish families, fleeing
the Famine in Ireland, .settled in Salem and gave the industrialists a big pool of
cheap labor.
The Gothic symbol of Salem's new industrial economy was the large twintowered grariite train station-the "stone depot" --smoking and growling with
idling locomotives, standing on filled-in land at the foot of Washington Street,· .
where before had been the merchants' wharves. In the face of all this change,
. some members of Salem's waning merchant class continued to pursue their sea- .
11
�borne businesses; but even the conditions of shipping changed, and Salem was
left on the ebb tide. In the late 1840s, giant clipper ships replaced the smaller
vessels that Salem men had sailed around the world; and the clippers, with their
deep drafts and large holds, were usually too large for Salem and its harbor. The
town's shipping soon consisted of little more than Zanzibar-trade vessels and
visits from Down East coasters with cargoes of fuel wood and building timber.
By 1850 Salem was about finished as a working port. A picture of Salem's
sleepy waterfront is given by Hawthorne iri his mean-spirited "introductory
section" to The Scarlet Letter, which he began while working in the Custom
·
House.
Unlike most of his fellow shipmasters, Capt. Isaiah Woodbury remained·a
seafarer, and it proved his undoing: he died at sea in 1844, leaving his widow and
two sons. His father-in-law, Nathaniel Appleton, Esq., was appointed
administrator of the estate. The inventory, taken 3 August 1845, listed the house
and land in Boxford ($850) and furnishings of his rooms in the Northey Street
house, which were front room or parlor, front-room closet, keeping room,
keeping-room closet, bedroom, kitchen, chamber. He may have sailed out of
Boston, for his chronometer ($100) was in Boston; and he had $6222.75 in cash.
Presumably the estate's assets outweighed the debts, and his widow and young
sons were able to live comfortably. They continued to reside here in the family
home at #14 Northey Street. In 1850, per the census, the house was occupied by
the Appletons (including Mrs. Appleton's mother, Mrs. Rachel Stone, 85) and the
·
Woodburys.
Salem's industrial expansion affected even Northey Street as, in 1850, a gas
works was built on the bluf( above the railroad tracks. Salem's growth continued
through the 1850s, as business and industries boomed, the population swelled,
new churches (e.g. Immaculate Conception, 1857) were started, new workingclass neighborhoods were developed (especially in North Salem, off Boston
Street, South _Salem, 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, down at
Stage Point, where a new Methodist Church was built, and many neat homes,
boarding-houses, and stores went up 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; like
glue-manufacturing, sprang up as well, most notably the J.M. Anderson glue·
works on the Turnpike (Highland Avenue).
12
�At this house, the 1850s appear to have been a fairly quiet time. Mr. Appleton, in
his 70s, still ran his "coffin wareroom" at 80 Derby Street. The Dimond heirs,
for whom he had served as Salem agent for their property, decided to sell off that
property. In October, 1853, Mr. Appleton, for $639 purchased the building at the
comer of Derby and Hardy Street on a lot about 55' square (ED 484:295). This
was evidently the same building that he had been using for years as his shop.
Mr. Appleton's daughter Mrs. Woodbury still resided in her unit of the house, as
did his two grandsons, Isaiah and Nathaniel Woodbury, both of whom worked as
clerks. Isaiah worked in 1856 at Phillips Wharf, at the foot of Webb Street,
where there was a large coal-distribution business. By 1858 he and his brother
Nathaniel were commuting to Boston for their work (see 1857 & 1859
directories).
Having re-established itself as an economic powerhouse, 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.
Nathaniel Appleton no doubt took an interest in these events, even as he
considered retirement from his business. By the end of the year 1857 he was still
in good health. On Dec. 12th he made his will, devising to his wife Susan all of
his personal property outright, and the use of all of his real estate for the rest of
her life. The homestead was to go, upon Mrs.~Appleton's death, to two of their
daughters, Mrs. Sarah Hale and Mrs. Susan Woodbury, while all three daughters
were to have the half-interest in the Hardy Street house and the shop and land on
Derby Street. Mrs. Woodbury was to have $200 upon his death, his grandson
Nathaniel Appleton Woodbury was to have $100, as was the widow or daughter
of his brother Benjamin at Newburyport. Mr. Appleton contracted cancer in 1858
and died of it on January 18, 1859, in his 7?1h year. His remains were interred in
his tomb in Salem. Since Mrs. Appleton would survive for more than 20 years
more, the heirs did not inherit arty real estate until the 1880s.
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. In that year, the two Woodbury boys having moved out, the house was
13
�occupied in separate units by Mrs. Susan F. Appleton, 72, and her daughter, Mrs.
Susan Woodbury, 40 (1860 census, ward 2, house 1928).
The Civil War began in April, 1861. I have not found evidence of any wartime
service by the Woodbury brothers (who had evidently moved to Boston), but
Mrs. Appleton's grandsons Joseph S. and Henry A. Hale did serve. At the end of
May, 1862, as news came of another major defeat, the Mayor, Stephen Webb,
called a meeting of the citizens and invited all men to report to the Armories to
enlist and save the Republic. Joseph Hale and many others did so, but the
emergency soon passed, and Mr. Hale and most of the men returned to Salem.
His brother, Henry A. Hale, was captain in the 19th regiment VMI, Bvt Lt Col
and AAG Vols.
Capt. Arthur Forrester Devereux, commander of the Salem Light Infantry before
the war, had drilled them to a point of perfection and took them through a threemonth stint around Washington, DC. Upon return, he helped to raise the 19th
regiment of Mass. Infantry, went out as Lt. Colonel and took with him 9-10 of his
Salem officers (H.A. Hale included) and more than 100 Salemites, with men
from nearby towns too. The 19th was initiated in battle at Ball's Bluff, then
fought in the Peninsular battles, then at Fredericksburg (advance unit), then at
Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, the Wilderness, and Petersburg. This was the
hardest fighting of the war. The 19th captured five of the enemy's colors. It
fought its way to Appomatox, where one of its captains was killed by what was
said to be the last shot of the war (seep. 204, Hurd's History ofEssex County).
The war lasted 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. ,
Through the 1860s, Salem pursued manufacturing, especially of leather and shoes
and textiles. The managers and capitalists tended to build their new, grand
houses along Lafayette Street (these houses 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.
14
�Within the Appleton family, it was felt, by 1869, that the coffin warehouse
should be sold off; and for $1325 it was conveyed to Michael Donnahoe (ED
788:125).
In 1870, when Salem received its last cargo from Zanzibar, a new Salem & New
York freight steamboat line was in operation.. In 1877, 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." (per Rev. George Bachelder in History ofEssex County, II: 65)
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 leather-making 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 the 'old Allen farmlands 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 coming 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 Naumkeag Steam Cotton mills
would employ 1200 people and produce annually nearly 15 million yards. of
cloth. Shoe-manufacturing 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.
15
�In 1880, as in the 1870s, this house was the residence of Mrs. Susan F. (Stone)
Appleton, 92, and her daughter Mrs. Susan A. Woodbury; and they were attended
by a servant, Ann Delahanty, 20, born in Ireland (1880 census, wd 2, house 154).
On February 10th, 1883, Mrs. Susan F. Appleton died in her 95th year. "Mrs.
Appleton was one of the oldest members of the Tabernacle Chmch and her long
and useful life has been marked by those Christian graces which have endeared
her not only to her own immediate family but to all who knew her" (per Salem
Observer 17 Feb. 1883). With her passing, the real estate went to the heirs as
specified in Mr. Appleton's will. On 21July1883 Mrs. Susan Woodbury and the
heirs of her deceased sister Mrs. Hale (Mary S., Henry A., Joseph S. Hale) for
$525 sold off the part of the homestead that was the lot that fronted 50' on
Lemon Street (ED 1112:235). Shortly after, the Appleton heirs sold the halfinterest in the Hardy Street house (ED 1117 :225).
By 1885, Mrs. Woodbury was residing here in one unit, and, in another, were
tenants Mrs. George H. Mair, a widow, and her son Arthur, who was studying
dentistry with Dr. Porter at 237 Essex Street (see 1886 Directory). Like her
mother, Mrs. Woodbury had a very long life, and would reside here through the
1890s and into the 20th century. By 1896, the house was numbered 30, and was
owned jointly by Mrs. Woodbury and the Hales.
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 ofLabor brought a strike against the manufacturers for a tenhour 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 cotton-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.
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 large and beautiful Mill Pond, which occupied the whole area
between the present Jefferson A venue, Canal Street, and Loring A venue, 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. The oncebroad North River was filled from both shores, and became a canal along Bridge
Street above the North Bridge.
In 1900, the house, now #28, was the residence of Mrs. Woodbury, 88, who lived
in her apartment with a nurse-companion, Catherine Cameron, 52, originally of
Nova Scotia; and the other unit was the home of Albert huddell, 29, a janitor, his
wife Mary, 45, and a boarder, Charles A. Rogers, 21, ahorse-shoer (1900 census,
ward 2, SD 115).
On 7 July 1903, Mrs. Susan (Appleton) Woodbury died, aged about 96 years.
She was born in this house, and it was the only home she h~d ever known. By
will, Mrs. Woodbury had devised the property to Arthur Woodbury of Utah, and
three Woodbury women. On 28 May 1906 they joined their Hale relatives and
sold the Northey Street homestead to Mary J. Cooney, the wife of Michael
Cooney of Salem (ED 1826:545). Thus, after nearly a century of family
ownership, the Appleton-Woodbury house .passed into different ownership. The
Cooneys had a large family of children, who, as they grew into adulthood,
continued to. reside here as boarders.
Salem's population burgeoned. The Canadians were followed in the early 20th
century by large numbers ofPolish 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 Marblehead and other towns came to Salem to
do their shopping; and its handsome government buildings, as befit the county
17
�seat, were busy with conveyances of land, lawsuits, and probate proceedings.
The city's politics were lively, and its economy was strong.
On June 25, 1914, in the morning, in Blubber Hollow (Boston Street opposite
Federal), a fire 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 tenement 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 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. There, just beyond Union
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.
By the 1920s, Salem was once again a thriving city; and its tercentenary in 1926
was a time of great celebration. From that time forward, 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 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.

JOSEPH TRUE, WOOD CARVER OF SALE:M,
.AJ.~D HIS ACCOUNT BOOK.
BY HEXRY WYCOFF BELK~AP.

JOSEPH TRUE, CARVER OF SALEM
From a Silr.·:>uette in possession of his Desi:endonts
Joseph True, the second of Salem's great wood-carvers,
Samuel Mcintire being easily the :first, ·worked there for
about fifty years during which little or nothing ·was known
about him until the fortunate cliscoven· of his account
book made it possible to determine the c;use of his obscurity and the character of much of his work. The brief
sk~tch of his family which follows will serve as a background for this talented man.
The True family immigrated to l\ ew Englancl in the
person of Remy True before 1644. He came from the
parish of Filsby, County Norfolk, if the compiler of
Sa.co T7alley Settlements was correctly informed. He
seems to have brought no family with him but must have
found a wife very promptly since their son John was
baptized 13 July 1644. His wife was the peculiarly
named Israel, daughter of John Pike.
Henry was granted 40 acres of land in Salem in the
South Field, 17 December 1G49, Lot No. 41, south of the
Great Cove of the North river in the North Field in 1653,
and lot No. 58 on the South river, east of the present Central street in 1658.
The only intimation of what was his trade is the statement that ~n 18 September 1656 the vessel Return, Henry
True, master, was about to sail from Barbadoes. She
was then in Carlisle Bay (not found in the Gazetteer)
bound for Boston with molasses.
He bought a house and land in Salisbury, :Mass., as is
proved by a deed in the Essex County records, elated 19
April 1657, when Richard Korth of Salisbury, for £60
to be paid by Henry True and Robel't Pike, both of Salem, conveys to Henry a house and land bounded by Edward ffrench and Abraham 1forrill and by the gTeen, as
·well as several other pieces of lancl ancl beach in Salisbury.
He did not long survive but cliecl in 1659, his imentory being taken by Robert Pike and Richard Goodall,
10 April 1660. His house in Salem was then valnecl at

so far as the character of his work went. N eo-Classic
and Gothic styles ·which were then in vogue were poor substitutes for :i\Icintire's more delicate and graceful designs.
Samuel Field :Mcintire, son of Samuel, attempted to carry on his father's business until his death in 1819, but
his intemperate habits must have been a handicap. A
little of his work has been identified fairly well, but he
clid not produce very much so far as can be told. After
Samuel Field's death, his uncle Joseph was the only one
of the family left to represent the name. He was sixtyfour years old when Samuel died and seems to have been
an eccentric character. He had a shop at 6 Chestnut
street and there is record of his having done work at 29
Chestnut street and that he carved the capitals of the columns of the Custom House. He died in 1825, leaving a
clear field for True.
One thing is very noticeable as one studies the account
book, namely that very few important pieces of work are
found. The Peabody house excepted, almost the entire
contents consist of small parts of furniture or interior
finish which explains the ignorance which has prevailed
as to carving clone by him. How much there may be of
more notable items like the ship Oritsoe which are not
noted in the book can only be guessed at.
Extracts from the account book follow:

The items are mostly made up of small parts of furniture and hence only the totals are given, with some exceptions.

35. Portrait of Abijah Northey, 1810. By John Brewster Jr. (1766-1854).
�lf''
.,,,.,,.
7
.
3. Sofa, attributed to Nehemiah Adams, Salem, c. 181 o.
Carving of top rail attributed to Samuel Mcintire.
Materials: Mahogany-primary wood. Maple, white pinesecondary woods.
Features: This is among the finest of the Sheraton style sofas
with carving attributed to Mcintire. As he favored grapes in his
best Hepplewhite carvings, he used laurel leaves in his best
Sheraton examples. The top rail features a basket of fruit and
flowers in the center, with trailing laurel leaves, and flanked by
garlands of roses, with an eight-pointed star punched background.
Alternating triglyphs and metopes are below. On the arms are
elongated leaves, with rosettes above the arm supports and
conventional leaf carving possibly by another hand. Bulbous feet
on front legs. H. 38¥.±", W. 76%", D. 271/2"·
Comments: An attribution to Adams is justified by comparing
this sofa to a documented example made by him for Lucy Hill
Foster in 1810 and illustrated in Antiques, XXIV (Dec. 1933),
2 1 8, Fig. 1. The turnings of the legs are identical in both examples, and the finesse of the bulbous front feet is rarely seen on
Mcintire sofas. Elements of the carving relate both to the 1796
chest-on-chest made by William Lemon and carved by Mcintire
at the Museum of Fine Arts (the only positively documented
example of his furniture carving), and to his architectural work,
especially a basket of fruit and flowers from an overdoor in the
Privately owned.
Nathan Read house, now at Essex Institute.

4. Table, attributed to Nathaniel Appleton, Salem, 1805-1815.
Carving associated with Samuel Field Mcintire.
Materials: Mahogany and mahogany veneers-primary
woods. White pine and .mahogany-secondary woods. Brasses old.
Features: The turret corners with a carved area below is a
feature frequently found in Salem Sheraton furniture. The
carved daisies are very similar to those on a table shown in Samuel
Mcintire: A Bicentennial Symposium (Salem, 1957), Fig. 43.
The rather crude gadrooning on the bottom edge of the top can
also be seen on a serving table and sideboard (Nos. 63, 65)
in this catalogue. H. 28%", \V. 21¥.±", D. 17%"·
Comments: Biographical data on the Salem cabinetmaker
Nathaniel Appleton has been sketchy. Through genealogical material and records in the family, we now know he was the son of
Benjamin and l\fary Appleton of Ipswich and was born December 2 5, 1782. He worked in Salem at Derby and Hardy streets,
and on July 7, 1805, he married Susanna Foster Stone of Beverly..
They had three daughters born between 1807 and 18 l 6. He was
a charter member of the Salem Charitable Mechanic Association
in l 8 1 7. Descendants now own a group of pieces tha~ have always been ascribed to him, including this table, two card tables
(one shown in the Kimball article listed below), a chest of
drawers, a sofa, and a desk-and-bookcase with glass doors, all in
the later Sheraton style. Bills at the Essex Institute show that
both Samuel Field Mcintire and Joseph True did carving for him.
Privately owned.
He died in Salem on January 18, 1859.

House at
17 Carlton Street, Sale111
Built c.1808 for Margaret Ellison Bray, widow
Enlarged c.1831 for Benjamin Bray, coach-maker & inventor
Francis P. Ashton, barber, in old age (from photo); he resided here from 1809-1821
(source: Hadley's llist01y of Essex Lodge)
�House at 17 Carlton Street, Salem
According to available evidence, this house was built for Margaret (Ellison)
Bray, widow, c.1808. It was enlarged to the rear c.1831 for Benjamin Bray,
chaise- and coach-maker.
On 26 August 1808 Capt. Benjamin Crowninshield, a Danvers merchant who
was formerly a Salem East India shipmaster, for $600 sold to Margaret Bray of
Salem, a widow, a lot of land in Salem bounded southwesterly 38' on "Carlton's
Street", northwesterly 70' on land of Crowninshield, northeasterly 37' on land of
Crowninshield and ofBerry, southeasterly 70' on land of Ranson (ED 185:226).
The evidence indicates that she had a modest house built: it probably had a
central entrance and a room on either side, with chimneys running up the back
walls to provide heat in all four rooms, and perhaps with kitchen rooms attached
as ells. It was two stories high, likely with a pitch roof.
Margaret Hill Ellison was born in Salem and baptized in 1776 at St. Peter's
(Episcopal) Church, the daughter of John Ellison and his wife Elizabeth Ulmer.
John Ellison was an Englishman, born in London; he came as a young man to
Salem, and in 1762 married Elizabeth Ulmer, the granddaughter of Rev. Mr.
Ulmer, who had come as a preacher from Germany c. 1700 and settled in Maine.
The Ellisons had several children, of whom those surviving infancy were Mary,
Rebecca, George, Elizabeth, and Margaret, and John, Jr. John Ellison fought as a
rebel in the War of the Revolution (1775-1783), both as a soldier and later as a
sailor. By 1783 he was in business as a ship-rigger in the East Parish, and in
1798 became a town watchman (policeman). Mrs. Elizabeth (Ulmer) Ellison
would live until October, 1808 (died at age 69) and Capt. Ellison, a watchman in
his last years, lived until March, 1812. He would die at age 74, lamented by many
and characterized by Rev. William Bentley as "a man of great integrity and good
reputation."
In March, 1794, Margaret H. Ellison, 18, married Benjamin Bray, 19. Between
1795 and 1807 they would have seven children, mostly boys. The Brays resided
on Hardy Street, in the old Diman house.
In 1800, Salem was still a town, and a small one by our standards, with a total
population of about 9,500. Its politics were fierce, as the Federalists squared off
against the Democratic Republicans (led by the Crowninshields and comprised of
�the sailors and fishermen). The two factions attended separate churches, held
separate parades, and supported separate schools, military companies, and
newspapers (the Crowninshield-backed Impartial Register started in 1800).
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
Streets). The East Parish (Derby Street area) was for the seafaring families,
shipmasters, sailors, and fishermen. 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, backlands for the Pickerings on Broad Street and the old
estates of Essex Street. The Common, not yet Washington Square, had small
ponds and swamps, and was covered with hillocks and utility buildings and the
town alms-house. In the later 19th century, Salem's manufacturing-based
prosperity would sweep almost all of the great downtown houses away.
The town's merchants were among the wealthiest in the country, and, 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 built in the next ten years went up in the old Essex-Washington Street
axis, most were erected on or near Washington Square or in the Federalist "west
end" (Chestnut, Federal, and upper Essex Streets). The architectural style (called
"Federal" today) had been developed years before in 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 upon his return from England 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, carver and housewright, was quick to pick up on the style and
adapt it to Salem's larger lots. Mcintire's first local composition, the Jerathmeel
Peirce house (on Federal Street), contrasts greatly with his later Adamesque
compositions. The interiors of this Adam style differed from the "Georgian" and
Post-Colonial: 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 Hasket
�Derby house, co-designed by Bulfinch and Mcintire, and built on Essex Street in
1799 (demolished in 1815), on the site of today's Town House Square.
Salem's commerce created great wealth, which in tum attracted many newcomers
from outlying towns and even other states. 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 (it stood on Essex Street, near Washington
Square), and editor of the Register newspaper. Mr. Bentley's 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. On Union Street, not far from Mr. Bentley's
church, on the fourth of July, 1804, was born a boy who would grow up to
eclipse all sons of Salem in the eyes of the world: Nathaniel Hawthorne, who~e
father would die of fever while on a voyage to the Caribbean in 1808. This kind
of untimely death was all too typical of Salem's young seafarers, who fell prey to
malaria and other diseases of the Caribbean and Pacific tropics.
In 1806 the Derbys extended their wharf far out into the harbor, tripling its
previous length. This they did to create more space for warehouses and shipberths in the deeper water, at just about the time that the Crowninshields had built
their great India Wharf at the foot of English Street. The other important
wharves were Forrester's (now Central, just west of Derby Wharf), and Union
Wharf (formerly Long Wharf), extending from the foot of Union Street, west of
Forrester's Wharf. To the west of Union Wharf, a number of smaller wharves
extended into the South River (filled in during the late 1800s), all the way to the
foot of Washington Street. Among the most important of these were Ward's,
Ome's, and Joseph Peabody's, which extended from the foot of what is now
Hawthorne Boulevard. Each of the smaller wharves had a warehouse or two,
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,
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. Perhaps Benjamin
Bray, a boatbuilder and shipwright, worked there, or perhaps he had his own
small shipyard, or worked at Becket's, off Becket Street.
�Salem's boom came to an end with a crash in January, 1808, when Jefferson and
the Congress imposed an embargo on all American shipping in hopes of
forestalling war with Britain. The Embargo, which was widely opposed in New
England, proved futile and nearly ruinous in Salem, where commerce ceased and
families began to wonder how they would survive. In the midst of this
uncertainty, Benjamin Bray, 33, fell ill; and on June 3, 1808, he died of
consumption (pneumonia or tuberculosis), "a worthy man" (per Rev. Wm.
Bentley), leaving Margaret with the care of several young children, including
infants. Joseph Lambert, gentleman, became guardian of some of the Bray
children.
In August, 1808, Mrs. Margaret Bray bought the house-lot on Carlton Street. In
the winter of 1808-9, Mrs. Bray, 30, was courted by a newcomer in Salem,
Francisco Paolo Astranan, 26, a barber from Sicily who had arrived in Salem in
September in the Salem ship Traveller, Capt. Richard Ward Jr. (see Ship
Registers ofDistrict ofSalem & Beverly). Mr. Astranan went by the "Englished"
name of Francis P. Ashton, and started a successful barbering business in Salem.
He and Margaret wed on 29 January 1809; and they would have at least two
children, Lucy Ann and Micalah (born 1817; Francisco's mother's name; it was
handed down in the family but was usually written Mickaler! ). (Info on Mr.
Ashton from 1 Dec. 1865 obituary, Salem Gazette, and from p. 106, H.P.
Hadley's 200 Years ofMasonry in Essex Lodge; photo).
Other Italians had settled in Salem at about this time. Peter Barras, a mariner and
shopkeeper, was here, as was Michele F. Come, a noted painter of seascapes,
who resided on Charter Street and taught painting, did decorative painting of
houses interiors and ship-cabins, and sold his artworks. Joseph Monarch, a
mariner, of Naples, also settled in Salem, and probably was a very close friend of
Francis Ashton. Mr. Monarch named one of his sons Francis Ashton in his
honor; that son later changed his name to Francis M. Ashton. In January, 1817,
Mr. Ashton loaned $200 to Joseph Monarch to help him buy a house (ED
212:206).
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, 1809. Shunned by the other Salem merchants for his support of the
Embargo, the eminent merchant William "Billy" Gray took his large fleet of
ships-fully one-third of Salem's tonnage--and moved to Boston. Gray's move
to Boston permanently eliminated much of Salem's wealth, shipping, importexport cargoes, and local employment. Gray soon switched from the Federalist
�party and was elected Lt. Governor under Gov. Elbridge Gerry, a native of
Marblehead.
In this new house (assuming it was standing by 1809), the Bray children were
growing up, although it is possible that some were sent to live with relatives.

The house was owned by Margaret alone, and not with her second husband Mr.
Ashton, who was noted for his uprightness and high standards and may have
refused to take an ownership interest in the house in order to ensure that his stepchildren received an inheritance. His barber shop was likely situated in this
house. The 1812 real estate valuations are the first to note Mr. Ashton's presence
in Salem (Mrs. Margaret Ashton, the owner, was not listed in the valuations of
�1809-1811 either). In 1812 (ward one) he was listed as "Francis F.A. Ashton,
barber," and paid taxes on "part house & shop" worth $300 and $100 in income.
In 1813 he was listed as Francis P. Ashton, with identical property and values.
Salem resumed its seafaring commerce for three years after the end of the
Embargo, but still the British preyed on American shipping; and in June, 1812,
war was declared against Britain. Although Salem had opposed the war as being
potentially ruinous and primarily for the benefit of the southern and western warhawk states, yet when war came, Salem swiftly fitted out 40 privateers manned
by Marblehead and Salem crews, who also served on U.S. Navy vessels,
including the Constitution. Many more could have been sent against the British,
but some of the Federalist anti-war merchants held their vessels 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 some 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' 350-ton ship America was the 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. In June, 1813, off Marblehead Neck, the British frigate
Shannon defeated the U.S. Navy frigate Chesapeake. The Federalists would not
allow their churches to be used for the funeral of the Chesapeake's slain
commander, James Lawrence ("Don't give up the ship!"). Almost a year later, in
April, 1814, the people gathered along the shores of Salem Neck as three sails
appeared on the horizon and came sailing on for Salem Bay. These vessels
proved to be the mighty Constitution in the lead, pursued by the smaller British
frigates Tenedos and Endymion. The breeze was light, and the British vessels
gained, but Old Ironsides made it safely into Marblehead Harbor, to the cheers of
thousands.
On land, the war went poorly for the United States, as the British captured
Washington, DC, and burned the Capitol and the White House. Along the
western frontier, U.S. forces were successful against the weak English forces;
and, as predicted by many, the western expansionists had their day. At sea, as
time wore on, Salem's vessels often were captured, and its men imprisoned or
killed. After almost three years, the war was bleeding the town dry, and the
menfolk were disappearing. 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 led the extreme Federalists in proposing a series of demands
which, if not met by the federal government, could lead to New England's
seceding from the United States; but the Pickering faction was countered by
Harrison G. Otis of Boston and his moderates, who prevailed in sending a
conciliatory message to Congress.
At last, in February, 1815, peace was restored.
Post-war, the Salem merchants rebuilt their fleets and resumed their worldwide
trade, slowly at first, and then to great effect. The eldest Bray son, John, may
have fought, as a teenager, on privateers. After the war he became a printer, and
in 1817 married Margaret Roundy. They soon had a first child, a daughter; and
at just that time John's mother, Margaret Ashton, 42, had her last child, a
daughter named Micalah. Mr. Ashton had continued to prosper in his work as
barber and hair-dresser. In February, 1818, he joined Essex Lodge of Masons.
In July, 1819, at the age of 44, Mrs. Margaret H. (Ellison) Bray Ashton died,
probably at home. The effect on her children, some of them quite young, may be
imagined. Like most men of that time, Mr. Ashton sought a new wife to help him
raise the children; and on 5 December 1819 he married Rachel (Gwinn) Hall. In
1809 she had married Spence Hall, who had died in 1816. Evidently the Halls
had had no children. Rachel now became step-mother to the Bray and Ashton
children. In 1820 the house was occupied as a duplex, with families headed by
Francis Ashton and his step-son John Bray (1820 census, p. 40). Mr. Ashton's
family consisted of himself, his new wife, and two little girls, probably Lucy Ann
and Micalah. Mr. Bray's family consisted of himself, his wife, and a little girl.
The other Bray children were living elsewhere, perhaps as apprentices or in the
family of their sister, Margaret, who married Jonathan Taylor in 1820.
In March, 1821, the Probate Court set off to the little Ashton girls the north front
room and the north kitchen and a small piece of land at the northwest part of the
house lot, with certain rights to pass to and fro over the other land (ED 227:46).
This left the rest of the property in the ownership of the Bray siblings. It is likely
that Mr. Ashton and his new wife and his two daughters moved elsewhere in
1820-1. In November, 1820, he (through a trustee) purchased for $180 a plot of
land on Bridge Street, near Pleasant, and he moved a building onto there to serve
as his house and barber shop (ED 224:221). It seems likely that the two Ashton
�rooms were rented out to John Bullock (1781-1854), a laborer who lived here
with his wife Elizabeth (Cloutman) Bullock, and their daughters Elizabeth and
Mary Ann.
Into the 1820s the foreign trade continued prosperous; and new markets were
opened with Madagascar (1820), which supplied tallow and ivory, and Zanzibar
(1825), whence came gum copal, used to make varnish. This opened a huge and
lucrative trade in which Salem dominated, and its vessels thus gained access to
all of the east African 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 harmony, largely through the Salem Charitable
Mechanic Association (founded 1817). Salem's general maritime foreign
commerce fell off sharply in the late 1820s. Imports, which were the cargoes in
Salem ships, were supplanted by American goods, now being produced in great
quantities. The interior of the country was being opened for settlement, and
many Salemites moved away to these new lands of opportunity. To the north, the
falls of the Merrimack River powered large new textile mills (Lowell was
founded in 1823 ), which created great wealth for their investors; and in general it
seemed that the tide of opportunity was ebbing away from Salem. In an
ingenious attempt 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 1826 to raise the money to dam the North River for industrial
power. The project, which began with much promise, was suspended Gust before
construction began) in 1827, which demoralized the town even more, and caused
several Salemites to move to Boston, the hub of investment in the new economy.
Mr. Ashton was among them, as were John Bray and his sister Mrs. Eliza Bray
Robinson; but most of the Brays stayed in Salem.
On 1 Sept. 1821 Jonathan C. Taylor, Salem pump- and block-maker, paid $200 to
John Bray, printer, and David Robinson, horse-letter, and wife Eliza, all of
Boston, for their 2/6 interest in a half-house and its lot of land on Carlton Street
(ED 236:260). This gave the Taylors a half-interest in the homestead; they
probably resided here for a few years, in the southwest end of the house (which
seems to have been set off to them), and then purchased and moved into a house
on nearby Neptune Street (part of Charter Street nearest Derby Street). On 22
February 1825 the Taylors for $300 sold to Benjamin Bray, a Salem coach- and
chaise-body maker, their 3/6 undivided interest in the dwelling house and other
buildings on a lot in Carlton Street. The lot fronted 25' on the street and ran back
about 70' deep, where it made an ell. Certain parts of the house and land were
�still reserved to the Ashton girls (ED 236:259). The lot was bounded on the
northwest on the other half of the house and on the southeast by land of Ranson.
On 15 May 1826 Daniel Bray 3d, Salem mariner, for $100 sold his one-sixth of
the premises to Benjamin Bray, who also bought (on 8 July 1826 for $100) the
1/6 right of William Bray, Salem mariner (ED 240:232, 243: 93). Thus Benjamin
Bray, Salem coach and chaise-body maker, acquired the last outstanding shares
in the homestead (other than the Ashtons'), which he now owned.
The younger Brays, William and Daniel, who grew up here, had interesting
careers as sailors. Daniel, a mariner, married Pheba Skidmore in 1828 and
resided at 21 Becket Street in 1836 and 1841, and at 104 Essex Street in 1845.
His brother, William Bray, had been involved in one of the most notorious
episodes in Salem's long seafaring history. In May, 1830, William Bray, aged
about 25, sailed as ship's carpenter on board the Silsbee, Pickman & Stone ship
Friendship, Capt. Charles M. Endicott and a crew of 16, bound to Sumatra to
trade for pepper. Having arrived on the west coast of their destination, they kept
guard against the often-hostile Malays as the pepper (300,000 lbs. for William
Silsbee) was loaded on the ship, anchored about % mile off the port of Quallah
Battoo. One hot morning, while the captain and a few of the crew were on shore,
a boatload Malays came alongside with pepper and were allowed to come on
board the Friendship to help in loading. The mate did not heed his crewmen's
alarm at the number of natives on the decks. Suddenly they attacked, using their
razor-sharp "creese" swords to kill and wound several of the Salem men. Cut off
from guns and handspikes on board, four of the crew jumped overboard. William
Bray and his three companions swam two miles to a remote point, and hid,
naked, in the jungle. Traveling by night and enduring scorching sunburns as they
hid in low brush by day, they spent four days without food and with little drink,
and finally arrived at the house of a friendly rajah, Po Adam, who joyfully
informed them that the Friendship had been re-taken by Captain Endicott and a
group from two other American vessels. Four other crewmen had also escaped to
the shore, one of them badly hurt: Charles Converse, grievously wounded in the
initial assault, had pulled himself up the anchor chains at night and dragged
himself on board the vessel, where he was thought to be dead and left
undisturbed until the Americans re-took the Friendship. The others (five) had
been slain. In the next year, the frigate Potomac was dispatched to Quallah
Battoo, whose forts were taken and destroyed and many Malays killed. For more
information about this episode, see G.G. Putnam's article in EIHC 57, among
other sources.
�In 1830 (census, p. 374) the Benjamin Brays and John Bullocks resided here. In
that year a horrifying crime brought disgrace to Salem. Old Capt. Joseph White,
a wealthy merchant, owned and resided in the house now called the GardnerPingree house, on Essex Street. One night, intruders broke into his mansion and
stabbed him to death. All of Salem buzzed with the news of murderous thugs;
but the killer was a Crowninshield (a local crime-boss who killed himself at the
Salem Jail), hired by his friends, Capt. White's own relatives, Capt. Joseph
Knapp and his brother Frank (they were executed by hanging). The results of the
investigation and trial uncovered much that was lurid about Salem, and more of
the respectable families quit the notorious town.
15 March 1831 Benjamin Bray, Salem coach and chaisebody maker for $1500
mortgaged to Peter E. Webster, Salem trader, the dwelling house and land on
Carlton Street (excepting Lucy Ann & Merchaler Ashton's portion) (ED
259:106). With the mortgage money, Mr. Bray evidently enlarged the house by
raising the roofline in front and extending it as a two-story leanto toward the rear,
thus adding three or four new small rooms in back. It is likely that the chimneys
(as indicated by the brick foundation arches in the cellar), which had once run up
the end wall of the original house, remained in place and had fireplaces facing
back into the new rooms as well forward into the old rooms.
Benjamin Bray was thirty in 1831, and operated a coach-making business with a
workshop (by 1836) at 15 Union Street. In 1825 he had married Mary Lane; and
they had three daughters by 1835. Mary (Lane) Bray was born in Salem in 1801,
the daughter of shipmaster Capt. William Lane and his wife Elizabeth Brown of
Derby Street. Mary had two older sisters and four younger brothers. Her
grandfather, Nicholas Lane, a sailmaker, had come to Salem from Gloucester.
By 1836, the house was occupied by the Benjamin Brays and by the John
Bullocks (see 1837 Salem Directory). Artisans and laborers like Messrs. Bray
and Bullock looked on with concern as Salem's remaining merchants moved
quickly to take their equity out of wharves and warehouses and ships and put it
into manufacturing and transportation, as the advent of railroads and canals in the
1830s diverted both capital and trade away from the coast. Some merchants did
not make the transition, and were ruined. Old-line areas of work, like ropemaking, sail-making, and ship chandleries, gradually declined and disappeared.
Well into the 1830s, Salem slumped badly.
Despite all, Salem was chartered as a city in 1836. 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 183 7, a brief, sharp, nationwide economic depression, caused even more
Salem families to head west in search of fortune and a better future. 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 many
tanneries (23 by 1832) that had set up along its banks. 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 alum and blue
vitriol was a specialty; and it proved a very successful business. Salem's whalefishery, active for many years in the early 1800s, led, in the 1830s, 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 were
retooled for making high-quality white lead and sheet lead (the approach to
Marblehead is still called Lead Mills Hill, although the empty mill buildings
burned down in 1960s).
These enterprises were a start toward taking Salem in a new direction. In 183 8
the Eastern Rail Road began operating between Boston and Salem, which gave
the people of Salem and environs 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. Mr. Bray's coach-making business was hurt by the
railroad, for the stagcoach lines to Boston and other places were rendered all but
unnecessary. Mr. Bray could not repay the Webster mortgage; and Mr. Webster
foreclosed. In July, 1839, Mr. Webster agreed to convey the premises to Mrs.
Mary L. Bray for Mr. Bray's payment of unpaid balance, $450, in monthly $20
installments (ED 452:196). The Bullocks remained the tenants in the house, and
were joined there by Mrs. Bullock's sister, Sarah Cloutman, a tailoress.
In the 1840s, new companies in new lines of business arose in Salem. The
tanning and curing of leather was a very important industry by the mid-1800s. It
was conducted 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. Iri 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 industrial tenements built nearby. 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 country areas. Even the population changed, as hundreds of
Irish families, fleeing the Famine, settled in Salem; and the-men went to work in
the factories and as laborers.
During the 1840s, with a family of six children to support, Benjamin Bray drew
on his considerable ingenuity to modernize his coach-building business. He was
a talented designer, and applied himself to improving the functioning of windows
and window curtains. Two of his creations were clever enough to earn him
patents. He participated in the first Exhibition of the Salem Charitable Mechanic
Association at the Mechanic Hall, on Essex Street at Crombie Street, in
September, 1849; and there was awarded a diploma in the category of New
Inventions. The diploma was accompanied by the following appraisal by the
judges:
"Car Window Spring and Curtain Fixtures, by Benjamin Bray of Salem.
This is an ingenious application of springs and rollers to window sashes, to
prevent the friction which sometimes occurs, and to allow them to be elevated
or depressed with ease, at the same time, by a simple contrivance, the
window remains suspended at any point of elevation. Something of this kind
would be of very obvious utility in the construction of our car windows,
which are often obstinately fixed at a point, in spite of the efforts of the
conductors and passengers to open or close them. The objection that the
rattling of the cars would continually tend to close the window is theoretically
removed by a contrivance which puts the window in equilibrium with the
spring, and thus produces the same condition as of the weights and pulleys in
the common house window.
"The arrangement of the curtain, though not altogether new in principle,
is, so far as the knowledge of the Committee extends, new in its application
to window curtains, and seems to possess decided advantages over those in
common use. By closing completely at the sides, it not only excludes the
sun, but also operates favorably as a double window to exclude the cold air,
thus contributing materially to comfort of our parlors."
�The talented Mr. Bray also exhibited "a machine for cutting tapered plugs of any
size." These inventions evidently raised the Bray family out of their financial
difficulties, and gave the family a good level of comfort.

In 1850, the house was occupied by the Benjamin Bray family in % of the rooms,
and by the Bullock sisters, Elizabeth, 38, and Mary Ann, 36, seamstresses, in one
unit, and, in another unit, by the Bullocks' aunt, Miss Sarah Cloutman, 59, a
tailoress (1850 census, ward one, house 192). In 1851, Mr. & Mrs. Bray paid off
the money owed ($375) to Mr. Webster, who had died (ED 452:197, 458:30).
Mr. Bray had made the transition from a coach-builder to a manufacturer of
curtain fixtures. He continued to prosper in the 1850s. In August, 1859, for $100
he purchased from Lucy Ann (Ashton) Nassau her right in the property, and the
right of one of the heirs of her sister, Merchalor (Ashton) Snow (ED 591 :299).
He evidently purchased the other three Ashton-Snow rights, and thus came into
ownership of the Ashton rooms and land, and so owned the whole house and its
lot. With this purchase and the Bray take-over of the Ashton rooms, the Misses
Bullock and their aunt Cloutman moved elsewhere. In 1860 the Benjamin Bray
family resided here, including the three sons, Edward, William, and George, of
whom the first two were sailors (1860 census, house 1247).
Mr. Francis P. Ashton, who had left for Boston about 1825 with his wife Rachel
and little daughters, had prospered in the metropolis, and had saved a good deal
of money. In September, 1834, he had sold his Bridge Street house and shop for
$1100 (ED 278:54). By 1845 he was ready to retire from hair-dressing in
Boston, and he looked to Salem. In March, 1845, he paid $1200 for a house and
land on Dearborn Street, North Salem, and moved back to the town where he had
first arrived from Sicily in 1808. By 1850 he and his wife Rachel were caring for
two of his grandchildren, Mickler Ashton Snow, 13, and Francis P. Ashton Snow,
�four, who lived in their home (1850 census, ward four, house 96). Mr. Ashton
had enough money at that time that he was loaning it out at interest (ED 437:266)
and was "dispensing great sums of money in acts of private charity" (per his
obituary).
Salem continued to change in the 1850s. Some members of Salem's waning
merchant class continued to pursue their sea-borne businesses; but even the
conditions of shipping changed, and Salem was left on the ebb tide. In the late
1840s, giant clipper ships replaced the smaller vessels that Salem men had sailed
around the world; and the clippers, with their deep drafts and large holds, were
usually too large for Salem and its harbor. The town's shipping soon consisted of
little more than Zanzibar-trade vessels and visits from Down East coasters with
cargoes of fuel wood and building timber. By 1850 Salem was about finished as
a working port. A picture of Salem's sleepy waterfront is given by Hawthorne in
his "introductory section" (really a sketch of Salem) to The Scarlet Letter,
which he began while working in the Custom House.
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.
During the war years, the Bray family moved to Boston. By 1865, the house was
occupied by one Parker Bray and by Charles Fillebrown, 29, a varnisher &
polisher, wife Mary E., 28, and son Charles H., seven (1865 census, Ward One,
house 469). Charles Fillebrown had been a brave soldier during the war, and had
served as a private, from Salem, in July, 1862, in Co. G, First Regiment, Mass.
Volunteer Heavy Artillery. The Regiment was assigned to ordinary duty in forts
near Washington, DC, for a year and more. The outfit saw its first action in the
spring of 1864. At the Battle of Harris Farm, in Virginia, on May 19, the
Regiment lost 54 men killed (Major Rolfe included) and 312 wounded, with 27
missing. The outfit remained in the campaign against Petersburg, and on June 16,
lost 25 killed and 132 wounded in an ill-fated assault on the entrenchments.
Charles Fillebrown was one of those wounded. His wounds were evidently
severe, and he was mustered out in July, 1864. (see Mass. Soldiers, Sailors,
Marines in Civil War, 5:610). He resided at One Carlton Street by 1870.
�Francis P. Ashton, 82, survived to see the end of the Civil War. He died in
November, 1865. In his obituary (1 Dec. 1865 Salem Gazette) it was satted that
he retired from business in the 1840s and lived in retirement on Dearborn Street,
making many charitable donations so that "many a poor family now sincerely
mourns his loss. He was guided through life by a strict, stem, unbending moral
principle, and for this he was honored and respected by all."
Through the 1860s and 1870s, Salem continued to pursue a manufacturing
course. The managers and capitalists tended to builp their new, grand houses
along Lafayette Street (these houses may still be seen, south of Roslyn Street).
For the workers, they built more and more tenements near the mills of Stage
Point. A second, larger, factory building for the Naumkeag Steam Cotton
Company would be added in 1859, and a third in 1865; and by 1879 the mills
would employ 1200 people and produce annually 14,700,000 yards of cloth.
Shoe-manufacturing also continued to expand, and by 1880 Salem would have 40
shoe factories employing 600-plus operatives. More factories and more people
required more space for buildings, more roads, and more storage areas.
In 1870 this was the residence of the Stickneys and Mearas. Charles Stickney,
21, a currier in the leather industry, and his new bride Minnie, 20, born in New
Brunswick. Sherman T. Meara, 35, born in Ireland, was a shoe-factory worker;
he lived here with his wife Eugenia E., 32 (born in Mass.), son Frank S., four,
and William Jones, 22, a boarder, born in Maine and working as a teamster (1870
census, ward one, house 139). Mr. Meara was a veteran of the Civil War. In
1862, a bootmaker residing at Tisbury, he had enlisted as a private in the 43d
Regiment, Mass. Volunteer Infantry, for nine months' service, which occurred in
and around Newbern, North Carolina. His regiment saw some skirmishing but
mainly did guard duty. He (a bootmaker of North Bridgewater) enlisted again, in
November, 1863, in the Second Regiment, Mass. Volunteer Heavy Artillery.
This regiment had some Salem officers: Major Samuel C. Oliver (later Lt. Col.)
and Surgeon, Dr. James A. Emmerton. Mr. Meara's Company H was posted to
Fort Monroe, North Carolina, in December, 1863, and in April, 1864, was
engaged in a battle with Gen. Hoke's rebels. After brave resistance, Co. G and
Co. H, 275 men, were captured by the Rebels, and the men sent off to
Confederate prisons, where most of the men died in sub-human conditions. Mr.
Meara escaped from prison on Feb. 22 and made his way back to his regiment,
where he was promoted to sergeant and served out the war at Newbern. He was
mustered out on 8 July 1865, and soon after came to Salem (see MSSMCW,
4:268, 5 :732).
�On 17 September 1874 Mrs. Mary Lane Bray, widow of Benjamin Bray, of
Boston, for $1825 sold to John Collins of Salem, the house and land here fronting
38' on Carlton Street (ED 912:226). Thus, after more than 60 years, the
homestead passed out of the family ownership.
The new owner, Mr. Collins, 44, was a laborer, born in Ireland. He and his wife
Catherine, 54, had a daughter, Mary Ann, 20. They made the house a duplex,
and rented out one unit to tenants. By 1880 the Collins family lived here in one
unit (Mary Ann, 26, was working as a cigar maker); while in the other lived a
widower, William Kane, 45, tinsmith, born in Ireland (he had come to Mass. by
1856), and his children William Jr., 23, a barber, daughter Nellie, 21, a
dressmaker, and sons John, 18, cigar maker, James, 11, and Thomas, 7 (1880
census). The Kanes were still here in 1884, when Mr. Kane had his tinsmith's
shop at 31 Central Street, on the inner harbor.
About 1882 Mary Ann Collins married Bartholomew N. Flynn, a laborer; but Mr.
Flynn died on 12 Aril 1885 leaving her a young widow. In 1885-6 the house was
occupied by the Collinses, Mrs. Flynn, and William Martin, who worked at the
gas works off Bridge Street (Salem Directory). John Collins, the owner, died in
the late 1880s; and by 1890 the residents here were his widow Catherine, his
widowed dughter Mary Ann Flynn, cigar maker, and Henry Randall, a
"yachtsman" probably meaning a crewman on a yacht (see Directory).
After withstanding the pressures of the new industrial city for about 50 years,
Salem's rivers began to disappear. 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 A venue, Canal Street, and Loring A venue, 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 its old wharves (even the mighty Union Wharf, formerly
Long Wharf, at the foot of Union Street) 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.
By 1893 William G. Dodge, shoemaker, and family, were the tenants, while Mrs.
Collins and Mrs. Flynn occupied the other unit. In March, 1895, Mrs. Ctaherine
Collins conveyed the premises to her daughter, Mrs. Mary Ann Flynn (ED
1437:294). Mrs. Collins evidently died in the next two years. Mrs Flynn would
�continue to live here for another 50 years, with various tenants moving in and
out. By 1897 the tenants were Michael E. Tivnan, a morocco dresser (leatherworker) and Miss Clara J. Tivnan, a shoe-stitcher, probably with their mother,
Marie, a nurse, widow of Michael Tivnan. Mrs. Tivnan lived here through 1906,
and by 1908 had moved to 4 Messervy Street with her children (Charles, Clara,
and Joseph, a police officer).
Salem kept building infrastructure; and new businesses arose, and established
businesses expanded. Retail stores prospered, and machinists, carpenters,
millwrights, and other specialists all thrived. Starting in the 1870s, FrenchCanadian families began coming to work in Salem's mills and factories, and
more houses and tenements were built in what had been open areas of the city.
The Canadians 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.
The owner, Mrs. Flynn, lived here alone in 1907-8. By 1911 her tenant was Mrs.
Joanna Leahy, widow of James. In 1913-1914 Mrs. Mary Ann Collins Flynn was
alone here again. On June 25, 1914, in the morning, in Blubber Hollow (Boston
Street opposite Federal), a fire 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 tenement 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 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. There, just beyond
Union 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.
By the 1920s, Salem was once again a thriving city; and its tercentenary in 1926
was a time of great celebration. Mrs. Mary Ann (Collins) Flynn lived here
through 1942, with various tenants (in 1920, Emma & Wladislaw Zawacki, a
shoeworker, & family; in 1942 Edward N. Tripp and wife Lillian, who ran the
Salem Recreation Craft Shop in the rear of the house). In 1943 the Salem
Savings Bank took possession of the premises; Mrs. Flynn moved out but the
Tripps stayed on.
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 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, barbers, and coachbuilders are all honored as a large part of what makes Salem different from any
other place.
