History of owners and occupants
Ninety Federal Street, Salem
By Robert Booth, Sept. 2017
According to available evidence, this house was built in 1887 for
Annie Bertram Webb, investor; and for many years (1896-1935) it
was the home of Capt. Edward B. Trumbull, shipmaster, the last of
Salem's foreign-trade sea captains. It is the site of a house built c.
1825 for Nathaniel Reed, Salem's first town crier, a sexton and
constable for many years.
By 1826 Nathaniel Reed, sexton, had a house on this lot, whose land
he leased from the Margaret Hillard estate. In September, 1826, the
Hilliard estate sold the lot, with its buildings "except those which
belong to Mr. Reed", to tanner Ben Cheever for $770 (ED 243:127).
On 25 June 1829 for $800 Nathaniel Reed, sexton of the Second
Baptist Church, purchased from the tanner Benjamin Cheever a lot on
Federal Street and all buildings thereon, bounded south 49' 8" on
Federal Street, west 123' on Gould heirs, north 42' on North River,
and southeast 78' and east 48' 7" both lines on John Perkins land (ED
253: 177). Mr. Reed (and wife Deborah) then mortgaged the premises
for $400 to Mr. Cheever and $200 to Thomas Saunders, merchant (ED
253: 177). In the mortgages, Mr. Reed alludes to the buildings twice:
(1) "all the land and buildings contained in my deed from said
Cheever and also including all the buildings which I owned standing
on said land before my purchase of said Cheever" and (2) "the
dwelling house and all other buildings on said land which I owned
before my purchase of Cheever".
Nathaniel Reed of Salem, then about 26, married Deborah Witham of
Gloucester in Gloucester in 1813. They had a son, Henry L., in 1814,
a son Samuel, and a daughter, Lucy D., in 1819. They resided in
Salem where Mr. Reed worked as a sexton at the Second Baptist
Church, to which the family presumably belonged.
�It would seem, per 1830 census (p. 381), that the buildings were
occupied by Mr. Reed, in his 40s, a male in his 20s, a male 10-15, a
female 10-15, Mrs. Deborah Reed, 40s, and a woman in her 60s. To
the east was the house of David Merritt.
Mrs. Deborah Witham Reed died in late March 1831, aged 45 years.
On Oct. 27 of that year, Mr. Reed married Hannah Leach, aged about
44, the daughter of George Leech and Betsy Cox of Salem.
By 1836 (per 1837 directory), Mr. Reed was listed as working as the
city crier and residing at "20 Federal Street" {the original numbering
system of Federal Street was different from today's). Since Salem had
just incorporated as a city, he was probably the first city crier. By
1842 he was a city constable, or policeman, which he made his career.
Salem's general maritime foreign commerce fell off sharply in the late
1820s. Imports in Salem ships were supplanted by the goods that
were now being produced 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 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 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
2
�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; after he was
put in jail he killed himself). He had been hired by his friends, Capt.
White's own relatives, Capt. Joseph Knapp and his brother Frank
(they would be executed). The results of the investigation and trial
having uncovered much that was lurid, more of the respectable
families quit the now-notorious town.
As the decade wore on, 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. Some
merchants did not make the transition, and were ruined. Old-line
areas of work, like rope-making, sail-making, and ship chandleries,
gradually declined and disappeared. Salem slumped badly, but,
despite all, the voters decided to charter their town as a city in 1836the 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, 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 reinvent 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 sciencebased manufacturing enterprise, founded in 1813 to produce
chemicals. At the plant built in 1818 in North Salem on the North
3
�River, the production of alum and blue vitriol was a specialty; and it
proved a very successful business. Salem's whale-fishery, 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 1838 the Eastern Rail Road, headquartered in Salem, began
operating between Boston and Salem, which gave the local people a
direct route to the region's largest market. The new railroad tracks
ran right over the middle of the Mill Pond; the tunnel under
Washington Street was built in 1839; and the line was extended to
Newburyport in 1840.
Nathaniel's son, Henry L. Reed, became a carpenter and in 1840
married Mary D. Southwick of Salem. Their surviving son Charles F.
would be born in 1853.
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 ofleather was very important by the midl 800s. On and near Boston Street, along the upper North River, there
were 41 tanneries in 1844, and 85 in 1850, employing 550 hands. The
leather business would continue to grow in importance throughout the
1800s. In 1846 the Naumkeag Steam Cotton Company completed the
construction at Stage Point of the largest factory building in the
United States, 60' wide by 400' long. It was an immediate success,
and hundreds of people found employment there, many of them living
in tenements built nearby. 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
4
�Irish families, fleeing the Famine in Ireland, settled in Salem and gave
the industrialists a big pool of cheap labor.
In September, 1848, many landowners hereabouts sold off parts of
their lots for railroad development: Nathaniel Reed, the owner here,
for $78 sold to the Essex Rail Road Company the northern part of his
lot, being flats on the North River on which the railroad tracks ran
(ED 402:103).
The Gothic symbol of Salem's new industrial economy was the large
twin-towered granite train station-the "stone depot" built in 1847smoking 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-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 mean-spirited
"introductory section" to The Scarlet Letter, which he began while
working in the Custom House.
In 1850, the house here was occupied, per census taker (house 552) as
a three family by Nathaniel Reed, 60, police, Hannah, 59, and Lucy,
31; also Eunice Leaviit, 58, Harriet and Rebecca, 19 and 16; also
Joseph S. Leavitt Jr., 34 provision dealer, Rachel, 37, and Josephine,
three, all of the Leavitts except the toddler having been born in New
Hampshire.
In the 1851 atlas, we see the footprint of the house, identified with "N.
Read".
5
�Nathaniel Reed died on February 28, 1853, aged about 70 evidently.
By his will dated Jan. 20, 1853, he devised his real estate in trust to
his son Henry and Daniel Jewett for the benefit of wife Hannah. His
real estate consisted of this homestead, a house on Barr Street, and a
land bounty (maybe from service in the War of 1812). At Hannah's
death, Lucy was to have the lifetime the use of the personal estate and
of the western half of the house on Federal Street. At that time (1853)
that western half was occupied by Mr. Reed and Lucinda Stone. The
sons, Samuel and Henry, were to have the use of the rest of the
property, and their widows after them.
His real estate was valued at $4040, of which the Federal Street
homestead came to $2000. An excellent inventory of its furnishings
was taken (appended). Among other things, we see a mahogany table,
chair set, and rocking chair, some silver spoons, looking glasses,
clocks, mantel ornaments and pictures, rugs, and carpenter's tools in
the workshop.
For years the house would be occupied (as in 1855 per census, house
104) by Mrs. Hannah Reed, 60 in 1855, and by Lucy Reed, 37.
Salem's growth continued through the 1850s, as business and
industries expanded, the population swelled, new churches (e.g.
Immaculate Conception, 1857) were started, new working-class
neighborhoods were developed (especially in North Salem and South
Salem, off Boston Street, and along the Mill Pond behind the Broad
Street graveyard), and new schools, factories, and stores were built. A
second, larger, factory building for the Naumkeag Steam Cotton
Company was added in 1859, down at Stage Point, where a new
Methodist Church went up, and many neat homes, boarding-houses,
and stores were erected along the streets between Lafayette and
Congress. The tanning business continued to boom, as better and
larger tanneries were built along Boston Street and Mason Street; and
subsidiary industries sprang up as well, most notably the J.M.
Anderson glue-works on the Turnpike (Highland Avenue).
6
�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 notable black families. At its Lyceum (on Church Street) and in
other venues, plays and shows were put on, but cultural lectures and
political speeches were given too.
By 1860, with the election of Abraham Lincoln, it was clear that the
Southern states would secede from the union; and Salem, which had
done so much to win the independence of the nation, was ready to go
to war to force others to remain a part of it. In that year (1860 census,
house 2120), the house was occupied as a two family by Hannah
Reed, 70 ($5500 in real estate, $3000 in personal estate) and Lucy
Reed, 39; and by Mary Clements, 52, a nurse, C. H. Williams, 25, a
male cook, Emma Williams, 26, and by Williamses Anna, 23, dress
maker, and Lizzie, 21, tailoress.
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.
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.
In 1865, the house (per census, house 3190 was occupied by Lucy, 46,
and Hannah Reed, 80, and four other family units, headed by David
7
�Hall, 37, blacksmith, some shoemaking Sheldons, Mary Ball, 72, and
Matilda Thompson, 45.
In 1870 Salem received its last cargo from Zanzibar, thus ending a
once-important trade. By then, a new Salem & New York freight
steamboat line was in operation. Seven years later, with the arrival of
a vessel from Cayenne, Salem's foreign trade came to an end. After
that, "the merchandise warehouses on the wharves no longer
contained silks from India, tea from China, pepper from Sumatra,
coffee from Arabia, spices from Batavia, gum-copal from Zanzibar,
hides from Africa, and the various other products of far-away
countries. The boys have ceased to watch on the Neck for the
incoming vessels, hoping to earn a reward by being the first to
announce to the expectant merchant the safe return of his looked-for
vessel. The foreign commerce of Salem, once her pride and glory, has
spread its white wings and sailed away forever". 1
On July 26, 1870, at Rowley, Mrs. Hannah {Leach) Reed died of old
age at 85. The Reed property descended per the will. Lucy D. Reed
died May 11, 1871, of consumption {tuberculosis), aged 52 years and
5 months.
In March, 1873, for $3150 the trustees of the will of Nathaniel Reed
sold to Mrs. Annie Bertram Webb, "the buildings and land" bounded
fronting 49' 8" on Federal Street, etc. (ED 876: 121).
Mrs. Annie Bertram Webb, of Chestnut Street, was a daughter of the
rich merchant John Bertram (his mansion is now Salem Public Library
building), and the wife of William G. Webb, a merchant employed in
his father-in-law mercantile enterprise. She would own this property
for years, and manage it for income among her many other local
holdings.

�Salem was now so densely built-up that a general conflagration was
always a possibility, as in Boston, when, on Nov. 9, 1872, the
financial and manufacturing district of the city burned up. Salem
continued to prosper in the 1870s, carried forward by the leathermaking business. In 1874 the city was visited by a tornado and
shaken by a minor earthquake. In the following year, the large
Pennsylvania Pier (site of the present coal-fired harborside electrical
generating plant) was completed to begin receiving large shipments of
coal. Beyond it, at Juniper Point, a new owner began subdividing 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. Shoemanufacturing businesses expanded in the 1870s, and 40 shoe
factories were employing 600-plus operatives. Tanning, in both Salem
and Peabody, remained a very important industry, and employed
hundreds of breadwinners. On Boston Street in 1879, the Arnold
tannery caught fire and burned down.
In the 1880s and 1890s, Salem kept building infrastructure; and new
businesses arose, and established businesses expanded. Retail stores
prospered; horse-drawn trolleys ran every which-way; and machinists,
carpenters, millwrights, and other specialists all thrived. In 1880,
Salem's manufactured goods were valued at about $8.4 million, of
which leather accounted for nearly half. In the summer of 1886, the
Knights of Labor brought a strike against the manufacturers for a 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
9
�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.
In 1887 Mrs. Annie B. Webb removed the Reed house and other
buildings were on the lot, and she had this house built. The old house
had been valued at $1200 (1886 valuation book, p. 59); the new house
was valued at $6000 (see 1887 Salem valuation book, p. 60). The lot,
14,690 square feet, was valued at $2,000.
From 1887 until 1908 the house was rented to tenants. The first (as far
as is known, per 1890-1 directory) were the "Misses Kimball"
(Elizabeth H. and Mary R.) and Mrs. Catherine Ireson, widow of
Samuel J. Ireson. Next was John R. Woodbury, who died Jan. 19,
1895. Annie's husband William G. Webb died in May, 1896, in his
64th year. Starting in about 1897, the tenant was Capt. Edward B.
Trumbull, shipmaster, and his family. In 1888-1890 Trumbull was
listed as master mariner residing at 117 North Street; then he
"swallowed the anchor" and in 1893-5 he was listed as working as
"manager, Salem Storage Warehouse Company" residing still at #117;
and in the 1897-8 directory he appears as the Warehouse Company
manager residing at 90 Federal Street. The 1900 census (house 259)
lists the occupants here as Edward Trumbull, 46, manager, wife
Lizzie, and daughters Mabel W., 20, and Elizabeth, 8; also servant
Mary McHarg, 19, born Ireland.
10
�In November, 1908, Mrs. Webb, now widowed, sold the premises to
the tenant, Captain Trumbull (ED 1943:39), who conveyed the same
to his wife (via straw Samuel H. Batchelder) Mrs. Lizzie F. Trumbull,
subject to $5200 in mortgages (ED 1942:463). Mrs. Webb would die
on Oct. 2, 1925, aged eighty years.
Capt. Edward B. Trumbull (1853-1934) was born 28 April 1853 in
Salem, and would die on Dec. 31, 1934. In 1860, his father, Edward
H. Trumbull, had come from Haverhill to Salem and been a
shipmaster in trade with the Orient. In 1860 he worked as a merchant;
he and his wife Mary resided in ward two and had a family of five
children at that time, and two servants ( 1860 census, house 1713).
Edward B. was bred a mariner. As a teenager, he was captain's clerk
on voyages to Hong Kong by the ship Mutlah, and kept the log (18681871) for Capt. Ballard.
Edward B. Trumbull was residing on Brown Street (when ashore)
with his mother Mary (widow) and brother Walter, a merchant's clerk,
in 1880, per census. He was already a shipmaster in trade with
Zanzibar, where he had served as assistant consul in 1879. On May
12, 1880, at Antrim, NH, he married Lizzie Florence Manning, 21, of
Antrim, born at Salem. She was the daughter of Daniel Augustus
Manning, a cabinet-maker, and Elizabeth Reith. Her father died at
New Orleans while in the navy during the Civil War. Lizzie had three
older brothers and a younger sister, Sarah. Lizzie and Edward
Trumbull would have two children, Mabel Augusta and Elizabeth
Manning.
In the 1880s, Edward shipped out, perhaps as mate, under Capt. N.A.
Bachelder, on the famous brig Taria Topan, the last Salem-registered
vessel to be engaged in trade with the East. Again, from 1881 to 1884
E. B. Trumbull kept the log.2
2 No
doubt there is more about E. B. Trumbull in the shipping records and in G. P. Putnam's series on
Salem's foreign trade. The PEM has a file on the family's activities
11
�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, junkyards, 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.
Salem kept growing. The Canadians were followed in the early 20 th
century by large numbers of Polish and Ukrainian families, who
settled primarily in the Derby Street neighborhood. By the eve of
World War One, Salem was a bustling, polyglot city that supported
large department stores and large factories of every description.
People from the surrounding towns, and Marblehead in particular,
came to Salem to do their shopping; and its handsome government
buildings, as befit the county seat, were busy with conveyances of
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
12
�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. Atop the
Hawthorne Hotel, the Salem Marine Society, of which Capt. E. Bo.
Trumbull was a member, had a club-house built; and it was designed
by Captain Trumbull as an exact replica of the cabin of the old Taria
Topan.
By the 1920s, 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.
Capt. Edward B. Trumbull died on Dec. 31, 1934. In August, 1936
(ED 3082:339) the property was sold to Dennis and Helen Foley,
husband and wife. The Foleys owned it for the rest of their lives. In
1955 a half-interest in the premises was sold to James J. Bradley (ED
4170:408).
Salem, the county seat and regional retail center, gradually rebounded,
and 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 department store,
13
�various other large-scale retailers, and Beverly's United Shoe
Machinery Company were all major local employers. Then the arrival
of suburban shopping malls and the relocation of manufacturing
businesses took their toll, as they have with many other cities. More
than most, Salem has navigated its way forward into the present with
success, trading on its share of notoriety arising from the witch trials,
but also from its history as a great seaport and as the home of
Bowditch, McIntire, Bentley, Story, and Hawthorne. Most of all, it
remains a city where the homes of the old-time merchants, mariners,
constables, shipmasters, and mill-operatives are all honored as a large
part of what makes Salem different from any other place.
