�Owners & Occupants
14 Conant Street, Salem
by Robert Booth, Public History Services, Inc., February 2020.
According to available evidence, this house was built for Richard Stickney,
housewright, in 1833. For many years it was occupied by tenants.
In May, 1825, Richard Stickney, housewright, for $216 bought from the Youngs a
"piece of land in the easterly part of Salem," fronting 72' on the way "leading from
Bridge Street to Samuel Skerry's" and running back 83' (ED 239:76).
In the 1831 valuation, we find Richard owning and living in a Hardy Street house
worth $800 and also owning this lot worth $200.
In 1832, Mr. Stickney (1789-1858) divided the lot on now-Conant Street and sold the
southeast half. He kept the northwest half and began building a house there in
1833-valuations for that year show him with "unfinished house $200" in addition to his
Hardy Street homestead. In January, 1834, he mortgaged the remaining lot
(now-Conant Street) for $400 to John Swasey (ED 271:164). The lot fronted 36' on
"the way" and was bounded n.w. on land of Fitz, n.e. on land of Wells, and s.e. on land
of Conant. He finished the house that year. It was first noted in the 1834 valuation,
valued at $600.
It was built in a throwback form that had first appeared in Salem in the early 18th
century, including the gambrel type of roof. In finish-work it exemplifies the Federal
style in which Mr. Stickney had been trained and had been doing his carpentry. Within
a few years, houses were being built in the new Greek Revival style. This late-Federal
house retains some of its original woodwork, its chimneys, and its 1833 underpinning.
Richard Stickney was born in 1789 in Newbury, the son of Moses & Hannah (Ingalls)
Stickney. Circa 1802 he was evidently apprenticed to learn the trade of a housewright.
He was in Salem by 1812, when he was given a seaman's protective certificate on
Feb. 5, prior to sailing as a deckhand on a merchant vessel.
In February, 1814, he married Rebecca Jeffery (1791-1855), the daughter of Walter
Jeffery of Salem. They would have six children who grew to adulthood. The couple
resided on Hardy Street, in a house that Mr. Stickney evidently built in the 1820s.
They would live there for the rest of their lives.

Salem's general maritime foreign commerce fell off sharply in the late 1820s.
Imports in Salem ships were supplanted by the goods now /being producecf (n
great quantities in America. The interior of the country was being opened for
'
I
.I
settlement, and some Salemites moved.away. To the north, the falls'ofthe,
Merrimack River powered large new te~tile mills (Lowell wrs founded in 18~3), whose
cotton, cloth, sold at home and overseas, created great wealth for their investors; and
it seemed that the tide of opportunity was e1bbing away from Salem. Salem's
merchants and capitalists were already pro$pering from ownership of an
iron-products factory in Amesbury and fro:m a textile factory they had built in
Newmarket, NH, so they saw the potential of manufacturi~g in Salem. In 1826, in an
ingenious attempt to stem the flow of talent from the town and to harness its potential
water power, they formed a corporation to dani the North River for industrial power;
but the attempt was abanJdoned in 1827, which further demoralized the town, and
caused several leading ditizens to move to
Boston, the hub of investment in the new economy.

In January, 1828, Mr. Stickney contracted with the Free Wilil Baptists to bui'ld
.I
their meeting house on Herbert Street (EIHC, 1911). He wa~ to be paid $.7$ per day
for his apprentices' work, and $1.50 per day for himself, he not to charig:e
more than szoo and to take half his pay: in the value of the pews.

Richard Stickney continued as an industr.ious building contractor and'carpenter
for many years. He would survive his ·wife and die on Dec: 11, 1858, q~ the : :
consequence of an accident. He had taken a visitor to the end of Hardy Street and

�from Danvers with his wife Phebe and their two children; and they would soon
return to Danvers.

Low, died 4 Oct. 1874, Lynn. Hem. October, 1833, at Waterboro, Maine, Phebe Rhoads

5. James W., 1842-1906, m. Adrianna Canney
6. Augusta E., 1846, died 1851.
As the decade wore on, Salem's remaining merchants took 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. Some merchants did not make the transition, and were ruined. Old-line areas
of work, like rope-making, sail-making, and ship chandleries, gradually declined and
disappeared. Salem slumped badly, but in 1836 the voters decided to charter their
town as the third city to be formed in the state, behind Boston and Lowell. City Hall
was built 1837-8 and the city seal was adopted with an already-anachronistic Latin
motto of "to the farthest port of the rich East" -a far cry from "Go West, young man!"
The Panic of 1837, a brief, sharp, nationwide economic depression, brought
economic disaster to many younger businessmen, and caused even more Salem
families to depart 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 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, the production of alum and blue vitriol.was a specialty; and
it proved a very successful business.
Some Salem merchants turned to whaling in the 1830s, which led to the building of
two small steam-powered factories producing high-quality candles and machine oils
at Stage Point. The manufacturing of white lead began in the 1820s,
3

and grew large after 1830, when Wyma·n's gristmills on the Forest River wete
I
'
retooled for maklng high-quality white lead and sheet leadj(the approach tq
Marblehead is still called Lead Mills Hill, although the empty mill buildings ,
burned downIn 1960s).
:

These enterprises started Salem in a new direction. In 183~ the Eastern Rail' Road,
headquartered in Salem, began operating between Boston and Salem, which gave
the local people a directrouts to the region's largest market. The new railroad tracks
ran righ~ over the middle of the Mill Pord; the tunnel under Washington Street was
built in 1839; and the line was extended to Newburyport
in 1840.

�The tanning of animal hides and curing of leather, a filthy and smelly enterprise, took
place on and near Boston Street, along the upper North River. In 1844, there were 41
tanneries; a few years later, that number had doubled and in 1850 they employed 550
workers. Salem had become one of the largest leatherproducers in America; and it
would continue to grow in importance throughout the 1800s.
.
In 1847, along the inner-harbor shoreline of the large peninsula known as Stage
Point, the Naumkeag Steam Cotton Company completed the construction of the
largest steam cotton factory building in the world, four stories high, 60' wide, 400' long,
running 1700 looms and 31,000 spindles to produce millions of yards of first-quality
cotton sheeting and shirting. It was immediately profitable, and 600 people found
employment there, many of them living in new houses on The Point. The cotton
sheeting of The Point found a ready market in East Africa, and brought about a revival
of shipping, led by the merchants David Pingree (president of the Naumkeag
company) and John Bertram.
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 outsized twintowered granite-and-brick train station-the "stone depot"-smoking and growling
with idling locomotives, standing on filled-in land at the foot of Washington Street,
on the site of shipyards and the merchants' wharves.
In general, foreign commerce waned: in the late 1840s, giant clipper ships sailing from
Boston and New York replaced the smaller vessels that Salem men had sailed around
the world. The town's shipping consisted of vessels carrying coal and importing hides
from Africa and Brazil, and Down East coasters with cargoes of fuel wood and lumber.
A picture of Salem's waterfront is given by Hawthorne in his mean-spirited
"Introduction" to The Scarlet letter, which he began while working in the Custom
House.
In the 1846 Directory William Fairfield (head of household) is listed as occupying #14,
whereas the Street Book identifies #14 as occupied by heads-of-household John
Stone Jr., 35, and Jeremiah Choate, 28 (who, in 1848, would be residing at #18). Mr.
Choate was a stone mason; he lived here with wife Sarah and daughter Caroline, two
(per census, 1850, h. 104).
William Fairfield, in the future, would, at 44, enlist in July, 1863, in Company D of the
Mass. Third Heavy Artillery Regiment. He saw hard duty and participated in
5
�'I
II
several battles before being mustered out in November, 1864. The family ,
eventually moved to Beverly, where Mr .. Fairfield would dielon May 7, 1877 .. His
gravestone epitaph mentions his service in the army. He wqs survived by his:
children and wife Eliza, who would die on Aug. 31, 1904, aged 85.

In 1847 (per Street Book), 14 Conant was occupied by hea~ of household Luther Scribner,
27. He worked as a stone mason. In 1848 (per Street Book), #14 was occupied by heads
of household Luther Scribner and Fentor Symonds, 28, who worked as a painter. Mr.

Like Mr. Stickney, Captain Bradshaw rented it out. In 1850 he resided in Beverly at age

�and Mason Street; and subsidiary industries sprang up as well, most notably the J.M.
Anderson glue-works on the Turnpike (Highland Avenue).
As it re-established itself as an economic powerhouse, Salem took a strong interest in
national politics. It was primarily Republican, and strongly anti-slavery, with its share of
outspoken abolitionists, led by Charles Remond, a passionate speaker who came from
one of the city's leading 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.
In 1855 (per Street Book) here lived William Ellsworth (a shoemaker), Benjamin
Butman, and Luther C. Butman, 27 (suffering from "inability"). Recently Moses
.
Stearns and John S. Howard had lived there (names crossed out in 1855 Street
Book).
The Butmans soon moved on; the Ellsworths remained.
Benjamin Butman (1791-1871) was a shoemaker and proprietor of a variety store. He
had married Mary Standley in 1816 in Beverly. Luther (1824-1868) was one of their
children. He married a woman named Mary, and was 37, working as a janitor, when,
in July, 1863, he began serving as a private in the 22nd Mass. Infantry regiment, then
he joined the 32nd Infantry for the balance of the war. He would die in Beverly, of
consumption, on June 4, 1868, leaving his family.

Bath, Me.) & Lydia A. Nichols (b. Salem), died 14 Jan. 1899 of lumbar abscess, 75th
year, in Lynn. Hem. c.1852 Mary E. (1833-1893), b. Mass., parents born England,
died Lynn 1893. Known issue:
1. Mary E., 1853, m. 1893 John D. Faulkner, Lynn.
2. Lydia A., 1856, m. 1872 John Ward, Beverly.
3. Charlotte H., b. Jan. 1860, died of septicemia, Lynn.
In 1857 the Ellsworths were still here. In the 1855 census (ward two, family 60) they
were identified as living here with young daughters and with George R. Emerson, 19,
a shoemaker. They soon moved on, to Manchester and eventually to Lynn, where
William would die, in his 75th year, in 1899.
In 1859 (per Directory), the Williams family resided here: William Henry, 34,
varnisher, wife Rebecca nee Hiter, 32 (probably a native of Marblehead}, and
children Charles H., 5, and Frederick A., one (per 1860 census 1889, ward 2).
Remarkably, Mrs. Rebecca Williams, as a widow, would return to reside here with
family members by the year 1900.

With the election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860, it was clear that the S0outhern 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 1force others to
remain a part of it.

The Civil War began in April, 1861, and went on for four ye~rs, during which hundreds
of Salem men served in the atmy and navy, and many were killed'or died of disease or
abusive treatment while imprisoned. HJndreds more sMfered wounds, or broken

Through the 1860s, Salem pursued manufacturing, especially of leather and
t( I I
shoes and textiles. The managers and capitalists tended to 1build their new; grand
houses along Lafayette Street {these ho~ses may still be se~n, sout~ ~f Holly Street;
many are in the French Second Empire style, with mansard roofs). fi=cJctory workers,
living in smaller houses and tenements, wanted somethlng better for

�themselves: in 1864 they went on strtks for higher wages and fewer hours of
work.
In 1870 Salem received its last cargo from Zanzibar. By then, a new Salem & New
York freight steamboat line was in operation. Seven years later, with the arrival of a
vessel from Cayenne, Salem's foreign trade came to an end. After that, "the
merchandise warehouses on the wharves no longer contained silks from India, tea
from China, pepper from Sumatra, coffee from Arabia, spices from Batavia, gum-copal
from Zanzibar, hides from Africa, and the various other products of far-away countries.
The boys have ceased to watch on the Neck for the incoming vessels, hoping to earn a
reward by being the first to announce to the expectant merchant the safe return of.his
looked-for vessel. The foreign commerce of Salem, once her pride and glory, has
spread its white wings and sailed away forever" {Rev. George Bachelder in History of
Essex County, II: 65).
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, most of it shipped by rail to the factories on the Merrimack. In the
neck of land beyond the Pier, a new owner began subdividing the old Allen farmlands
into a 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, large numbers of French-Canadian families came 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
~500 people (including hundreds of children) 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.
In the 1880s and 1890s, Salem kept building infrastructure; and new businesses
arose, and established businesses expanded. Retail stores prospered; horsedrawn
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 1880 (per census, h. 139, ward 2) here lived Samuel Pulsifer, 36, painter, wife
Jennie L., 18, and her sister Katie F. Richardson, 16; also dentist Alvah T. Newhall, a
Vermont native, 29, wife Mary A., 26 (b. NH), and infant son Ernest. During the Civil
War, Mr. Pulsifer had served as a seaman in the Navy on board the USS "Sabine."
Both families soon moved on. Samuel would die in April, 1884.
In 1886 (per Directory) the house was home to families headed by George
Cunning and Frank H. Quinlin, a carpenter at the Boston & Main Railroad car
shop.
In the summer of 1886, the Knights of Labor brought a strike against the
manufacturers for a ten-hour day and other concessions; but the manufacturers
imported labor from Maine and Canada, and kept going. The strikers held out, and
there was violence in the streets, and even rioting; but the owners prevailed, and
many of the defeated workers lost their jobs and suffered, with their families, through
a bitter winter.
By the mid-1880s, Salem's cotton-cloth mills at the Point employed· 1400 people who
produced about 19 million yards annually, worth about $1.5 million. The city's large
shoe factories stood downtown behind the stone depot and on Dodge and Lafayette
Streets. A jute bagging company prospered with plants on Skerry Street and English
Street; its products were sent south to be used in 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, opposite the Beverly Shore.
More factories and more people required more space for buildings, more roads, and
more storage areas. This space was created by filling in rivers, harbors, and ponds.
The once-broad North River was filled from both shores, and became a canal along
Bridge Street above the North Bridge. The large and beautiful Mill Pond, which
occupied the whole area between the present Jefferson Avenue, Canal Street, and
Loring Avenue, finally vanished beneath streets, storage areas, junk-yards, rail-yards,
and parking lots. The South River, too, with its epicenter at Central Street (the Custom
House had opened 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 lumberyards. Only a canal was left, running in from
Derby and Central Wharves to Lafayette Street.
In 1891 the owner of #14, Capt. Joseph W. Luscomb, died on February 14 in his
eightieth year.

�In 1895 (per Directory), here lived the families of Charles H. Grimes, a helper at the
B&M Railroad car shop, and Mrs. Helen M. Stanley, nurse, the widow of Abram J.
Stanley. They soon moved on.
.
In September, 1897, the heirs of Captain Luscomb sold the house and land to
James Welch (ED 1525:462-465). The new owner rented it out for income.
In 1900 (per census, ward 2, h. 127) this was the home (in one apartment) of Mrs.
Rebecca (Hiter) Williams, 71, with boarders 9-year-old Irving Brown and John
Griffin, 63, a car shop laborer; and (in the other apartment) Rebecca's grandson
Edward Williams, 23, day laborer, wife Giralda, 23, a native of Nova Scotia (their
first child had died young), and John E. Carlin, 31, a Canada-born shop laborer.
Mrs. Williams had resided here with her family back in 1860; she resided here in 1901
and perhaps for a few more years.
The owner, James Welch, died in 1903. In July, 1905, the administratrix of his
estate sold the premises for $650 to Patrick A. Mcsweeney (ED 2213:271).
Salem kept growing. 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, and by Sicilians, in the High Street neighborhood. By the eve of World
War One, the bustling, polyglot city supported large department stores and factories of
every description. People from the surrounding towns, and Marblehead in particular,
came to Salem to do their shopping; and its handsome government buildings, as befit
the county seat, were busy with conveyances of 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 at Proctor), a fire
started in small wooden shoe factory. This fire soon raced out of control, for the west
wind was high and the season had been dry. 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 of The Point. Despite the combined efforts of
heroic fire crews from
many towns and cities, the fire overwhelmed everything in its path: the Naumkeag
Steam Cotton Company factory complex exploded in an inferno. At Derby Street,
just beyond Union, after a 13-hour rampage, the monster died, having consumed
250 acres, 1600 houses, and 41 factories, and leaving three
1
1
�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
w~dening old streets) were put into effect.
In May 1915 Patrick Mcsweeney sold the same to Edward J. Kenneally (ED
2296:268). He sold it in May, 1916, to C. Annie Finnan (ED 2329:82).
In 1920 (per census) the house was occupied by tenants Ellen Cassell, 52, a widow,
and sister Maritchie, 46, as well as by James Jones, a shoe finisher, born in Nova
Scotia, and family.
Salem was once again a thriving city; and its tercentenary in 1926 was a time of great
celebration. The Depression hit in 1929, and continued through the 1930s. Salem,
the county seat and regional retail center, gradually rebounded.
Salem prospered after World War II through the 1950s and into the 1960s. General
Electric, Sylvania, Parker Brothers, Pequot Mills (formerly Naumkeag Steam Cotton
Co.), Almy's and Newmark's and Webber's department stores, various other
retailers, and Beverly's United Shoe Machinery Company were all major local
employers.
In more recent years, ownership of the property (the dimensions of the lot
remain 36' by 83') has been transferred as follows:
1943 Kapustka to Grabowski, 3327:90
1947 to McGrane, 3577:372
1969 to Thibault to Cann, 5587:660, 5597:532
2005 to Doran, 25024:506
2008 to Steven D. Winship, 28059:326
