Introduction & Architectural Details:
The house at 22-24 Pleasant Street was constructed sometime between 18011 and 1807 for
Benjamin Webb, yeoman and innholder.2 Benjamin Webb purchased the lot of land from Pelatiah
Brown in 1801 for $350.3 The house is a fine example of the early 19th century’s popular Federal
style. While two-story gable roofed Federal period homes are common in Salem, three-story
examples, such as 22-24 Pleasant Street, are not seen as often.4 Pleasant Street was laid out in 1796,
and extended to Bridge Street, meaning that 22-24 Pleasant Street was likely one of the first houses
constructed on the street.5 Prior to the house being re-numbered as “22-24 Pleasant Street,” it was
considered to be “31 Pleasant Street.”

Centuries of Design.” National Park Service, Salem Maritime National Historic Site.6

When Benjamin Webb purchased the 22-24 Pleasant Street lot in 1801, primary documents
list him as an “Innholder.” Webb was well known in Salem as an innkeeper, owning the popular Sun
Tavern that was located on Essex Street. Around 1795, Benjamin Webb began purchasing
undeveloped lots of land in Salem and constructing houses on them.7 By the time he sold the 22-24
Pleasant Street property in 1807, his official title in the primary records was listed as “yeoman” (land
owner).8
1807-1818: Captain John Barton
On June 18, 1807, Benjamin Webb sold 22-24 Pleasant Street to his son-in-law, mariner
Captain John Barton, for the sum of $1,391.9 John Barton had married Benjamin Webb’s daughter,
Mary Webb, on October 18, 1802.10 The transaction of the 22-24 Pleasant Street property was just
four days shy of John Barton’s thirty-third birthday, as he was born on June 22, 1774.11 Nine months
later, John and Mary Barton’s son John was born.12 Between 1804 and 1815, Mary and John Barton
had at least nine children, including two sets of twins.13

In July of 1800, John Barton was the captain of the brigCruger, which sailed to Naples, Italy
and carried home to Salem a cargo of soap and wine.14 A painting of the Cruger in Naples is
attributed to Michele Felice Cornè.

An oil portrait of Captain John Barton also attributed to Michele Felice Cornè is located within the
collections of the Peabody Essex Museum. In the portrait, Barton is depicted with blue-gray eyes,
light hair (which may be powdered or graying), sideburns, and a widow's peak. He wears a striking
blue coat with gold buttons, a white shirt, and white cravat.16 One of the fascinating, yet easy to miss,

Between 1805 and 1807,18 John Barton captained the ship Arab, which made at least two
seperate voyages out of Salem to India. According to crew lists, aboard the Arab’s voyages was a
young Black man by the name of John Mugu19, who was listed as an indentured apprentice to John
Barton.20
Captain John Barton died of consumption (tuberculosis) on February 24, 1818 at the age of
forty-four. 21 He is buried in the Barton family plot at Harmony Grove Cemetery. 22
1818-1892: The Barton Family, et al.
Mary Barton remained in the house following her husband’s death, living at 22-24 Pleasant
Street for twenty-nine more years. As of the 1842 Salem City Directory, her son William, who
worked as a jeweler, was also living in the 22-24 Pleasant Street home.23
On September 9, 1841, Mary Barton Jr. (daughter of Mary Barton and Captain John Barton)
became Mary Worcester when she married Jonathan Fox Worcester,24 and the couple lived in the
22-24 Pleasant Street home alongside Mary’s mother. It is possible that this was the time-frame in
which 22-24 Pleasant Street became a two-family house. Jonathan Worcester had received his M.D.
from Harvard Medical School in 1830, where the subject of his graduating thesis was “Fracture of
Lower Extremities.” 25 According to United States Federal Censuses as well as Massachusetts State
Censuses, Jonathan Worcester worked as a schoolteacher. Jonathan Worcester had a daughter named
Mary, born in 1834, with his first wife, who passed away in 1836.

When she was sixty-six years old, Mary Barton died of a heart complication on January 30,
1847.26 Wills and probates for Captain John Barton and Mary Barton were not discovered, but based
on the deed trail, it appears as though shares of the 22-24 Pleasant Street property were divided
between their children. On April 29, 1847, Mary Worcester sold a $360 share of the 22-24 Pleasant
Street property to her younger brother, Gardner Barton.27 The following day, Gardner Barton, along
with Mary and John Barton’s other children Betsy, Lydia, and Margaret, sold the property to
Jonathan Worcester.28
Mary Worcester, daughter of Jonathan Worcester and stepdaughter of Mary Worcester (née
Barton), married George A. Pollard in Salem on Halloween of 1855,29 and afterwards the couple
moved to Michigan.
22-24 Pleasant Street in the Late 19th & Early 20th Centuries
Mary and George Pollard sold the 22-24 Pleasant Street estate for a total of $4,000 to John
Casey on June 24, 1892.30 This is the first time the house left the ownership of its original
Webb-Barton-Worcester family line.
Ten years later, Mary L. Casey sold the property to Mary W. Reeves for one dollar and “other
valuable considerations.” 31 According to the 1900 United States Federal Census, Mary W. Reeves’
mother, Mary E. Reeves, rented 24 Pleasant Street, and Mary W. Reeves lived there with her prior to
her purchase of the house in 1902.32

Born in Kentucky in 1870, Mary W. Reeves worked as an assistant clerk33 at the Salem City
Hall.34 She married Paran S. Chase in Salem on Halloween of 1919.35 Mary and Paran Chase moved
to a house on Beacon Street in Salem, while Mary’s mother continued living in the Pleasant Street
home. At some point before the 1930 United States Federal Census, Mary and Paran Chase had
moved back into 22-24 Pleasant Street alongside Mary E. Reeves.36 Paran Chase worked as a stock
bonds salesman.37
The Reeves-Chase family alternated between living in the 22 and 24 portions of the Pleasant
Street house during their years of ownership. Mary Reeves Chase passed away in 1939,38 leaving the
house to her husband. Paran S. Chase died the following year in 1940.39
On February 18, 1947, Frank W. Waite sold 22-24 Pleasant Street to himself and his wife,
Ella L. Waite. In the deed, the property is described as “the same premises conveyed to Mary W.
Reeves by deeds recorded with Essex South District Deeds, Book 1672, Pages 433, 434 and 435.
Said Mary W. Reeves, later Mary R. Chase, devised said premises to her husband Paran S. Chase Essex probates #193100. Said Paran S. Chase devised said premises to me - Essex Probates
#196675." From 1942 until at least 1950, the Chase family lived in the 24 Pleasant Street section of
the house.40 According to the 1950 United States Federal Census, Frank and Ella Waite occupied the
22 Pleasant Street portion of the house at that time alongside their daughter, Eleanor, who worked

22-24 Pleasant Street to themselves and Apphia Williams of Waltham, as”joint tenants, not tenants
in common.” It is unclear whether Apphia Williams ever resided in the house.
Frank W. Waite died on October 9, 1957,42 following the death of his wife Ella L. Waite the
previous year.43
On December 20, 1957 Apphia Williams sold the 22-24 Pleasant Street property to Jeanne
Munnis.44 Jeanne Munnis lived in 24 Pleasant Street and operated a store first called the “Sleigh Bell
Barn” and later the “Sleigh Bell Shop.” 45 She sold the property on February 23, 1974 to John A.

Salem, Mass.
This house was built~in 1007 for ~oseph Sprague Jr (1771-1833),
a Sal em merchant. Sarnuel Hcintire MflL( h.M'e Carved !Ct»t/L. eP ff~ frlrn
o. a~Vt{ /o FtsIce. /6nd;a/I~ surm t~e in Mr.~ !Vt> (ayver,
'
The lot was purch~sed 2 Har 1791 by Joseph Sprague Sr {died
13 Feb 1808), a Salem distiller, from the executors of the will of'
Francis Cabot {Southern Essex County Deeds, 154:301 ); at that time
there was a wooden house (formerly the residence of James & Mary
Grant) standing where this house now stands--right next to Mr Sprague 1 s
mansion house, 384 Essex Street, still standing on the northern
corner of Essex & Flint Streets (jn those days Flint Street, from
Essex St to the North River (now the canal), was called Dea.~ Street
or Dean's Lane). About 1806, according to Oliver Thayer, who was
born in it, the wooden house was demolished, clearing the way for
construction of' the present house in the next year, 1807.
That the house wasbbuilt for Joseph Sprague Jr, on land
ovmed by his father, is established by the inventory (taken 7 June
1,8oe5) of' the elder Sprague 1 s estate (Essex County probate case
#26033 , wherein Joseph Sprague Sr's "mansion house & appurtenances,
including the land under & adjoining Joseph Sprague Jr 1 s new brick
house," was valued at $15,ooo.
·
It is worth mentioning that the Salem Historic District Study
Oon~tlttee Report (vol. III, prepared by Elizabeth K Reardon, pp 57-8)
is incorrect in stating that Joseph Sprague Sr lived in a Hcintiredesigned house at 376 Essex St, next east of 380 Essex St: as a
matter of fact, the Wait family owned that lot from Revolutionary
times right up to 1830, when the premises at 376 were sold to
Nathaniel L Rogers, who had married into the family. So if there
was a Ifointire house there, it was built for Aaron We.it, and not
for Joseph Sprague Sr, who was well content to live & die a~
384 Essex Street!
Major Joseph Sprague Sr died 13 Feb 1808; on 28 Mar 1808 his
heirs (son Joseph Sprague Jr, and daughter Sarah V1hite (Sprague),
wife of Dr 'dilliam Stearns) divided the estate between themselves:
Sarah White (Sprague) Stearns acquired all of her father's house &
lot at 384 Essex St; Joseph Sprague Jr took full possession of the
land & house (his own) at 380 Essex Street (see Deeds, 182:233).
On 8 Nov 1822 Joseph Sprague, Danvers merchant, by deed
230:151, sold the estate to Joseph Peabody Esq of Sa~em, whose son
Francis Peabody (born 1801) was living there by 1832, even though
his father (who lived, according to the Salem Directory for 1837,
at 134 Essex Street) had. never formally deeded it to him. Francis
Peabody decided to build an addition to the house; to do so, he
purchased of his neighbor Rogers a narrow strip of land to the
northeast of the house, on 16 June 1832 (Deeds, 264:208). By the
first of July, 1834, the new brick addition was finished--and
causing problems--for on that day Peabody agreed with Rogers to
maintain 11 a copper· gutter along the eaves of the eastern end" of
the addition, to keep water from pouring off its roof onto Rogers'
fence & land below {Deeds, 311 :287).
�Finally, by deed 311 : 288, 13 Hay 1839, Joseph Peabody, still
the legal oimer, conveyed the premises to their occupant, Francis
Peabody, who a day latei> sold the estate to Samuel Williams (Deeds,
311 :289). On 12 Sept 1840, by deed 320:202, Samuel 'dilliams sold
his estate to John H Silsbee for $8500.
.
Mr Silsbee lived here for the next 51 ye~0. He died
19 Sept 1891, willing the property in equal halves to his son
William H Silsbee· and his daug..Yiter Alice D (Silsbee), wife of
Dr. Hall Curtis (see John H Silsbee probate case #71323).
l·lilliarn H Silsbee <lied 18 Har 1900, u.runarried, willing all his
estate to his sister Alice D (Silsbee) Curtis, who now came into
full possession of the house & land at 380 Essex Street (see
William H Silsbee probate case #85951). Shortly afterward, on
5 Jan 1901, Dr & Nrs Curtis, by deed 1631 :472, granted the premises
to Mary L d 1 Este of Salem.
Fifteen years later Julian & Nary L d'Este sold house & land
by deed 2321 :122 to Arthur L Lougee, whose widow, Annah C Lougee,
on 30 Dec 1953, sold the 380 Essex Street estate to its present
owners, the Sweckers (see Deeds, 4037:271).
* Since writing this, I have found that Col. Fran0is Peabody
was living at 380 Essex St as early as 1830; indeed, Joseph Peabody
may have purchased it for his son Francis to live in from 1822 on.
On 4 Jan 1830, twenty of Salem's leading citizens gathered at the
380 Essex St home of Francis Peabody to found the Salem Lyceum;
this according to the Salem~' p. 6, 1 Aug 1896, a copy of
which may be seen hanging in the entry of Salem's 'Lyceum Restaurant.

he r:ounty tax book of I 807 assesses him for$ r r .36, that of I 8 ro for$ IO. I 4, the decrease
being due doubtless to his sale of a lot from the easterly side to his neighbor Gideon Tucke:in 1808 (185:57). It will have been the new brick house which first attracted to him the attention of the assessors, and we may thus suppose it to have been built or building in I 807.
The house was sold to Simon Forrester by Timothy Vlilliams and Samuel Putnam, trustees, under .Littie's will, April 3, I 8 I 5 ( 20 S; 248), and occupied by Forrester's &rnghter
Nancy and her husband Gideon Barstow, being sold to Thomas Trask by the trustees under
Forrester's will April I 8, I 844 ( 343: 108). It was later occupied by Robert Brookhouse. At
wme time before r 9 IO a wider addition was made in front, bringing the property out to the
street line for commercial occupC\ncy; and destroying the old porch. We have, unfortunately,
no record of the interior.

Joseph Sprague, Jr., Hoqse
380 Essex Street
· Built about I 807, much remodelled
Principal owners: Sprague, Peabody, Silsbee
(Figures 283-286)
The house was not included in the list of brick buildings in Salem published in the Salem
Gazette February 4, 1 806. Oliver Thayer who was born in a wooden house on the site, speaks
of it as "torn down, I think, about 1806.'' 50 The construction of the brick house must soon
.we followed, for the inventory of the estate of Major Joseph Sprague, who died at 384
Essex Street February 13, I 808, lists his mansion house "adjoining Joseph Sprague Jr's new
brick house," 61
The house has been much remodelled. The mantels of the first floor have been replaced
with m~rble, but those of the second floor which survive are of the type characteristic of McIntire, the mantel in the southwest room having one of his carved baskets, placed, like the
one in the Thomas Butman house (I 806- I 807), in a beaded oval. The cornice has the split
dentils which first appear in Mcintire work about I 808.
The hall was drastically remodelled during the Greek revival. \Ve may assume that the
hall was originally shallower, leaving room for the circular stairs which, in the remodelling,
were pushed into a wooden addition behind, in the angle of the ell.
Both the main cornice of the house and that of the portico have forms derived from the
American Ettilder's Companion by Benjamin and Raynerd, published late in I 806. While McIntire's interior detail elsewhere, from about I 808, was ipfluenced by this publication, there
is none of his later hous~s where such forms were adopted on the exterior. We must assume
that Mclntire's participation in the work was limited to interior embellishments, of which the
mantel illustrated is the only survival.
.
TI1e stable, much changed, suggests by its central arch the type introduced in Salem by
Mcintire. The house was later owned by Colonel Francis Peabody, by Samuel Williams, by
John H. Silsbee, by Julian d'Este, and by Arthur Lougee.
