�NOTES AND DATE DOCUMENTATION
106 FEDERAL STREET
PERIOD: FOURTH QUARTER
"This large wooden house is a Colonial Revival period,
two-story plus gambrel roof building.
There are bay windows,
cross gables, and a dentil cornice, all of which are representative of this style.
Charles Archer writing for the Salem
Evening News in 1922, tells of an old house which was
previously on this site.
In it the Chandler family lived and
ran a store which was the local gathering place for the
community and the center of news and gossip.
The same Chandler
family built the present grocery store diagonally across the
street."
(Salem Historic District Study Committe Investigation vol. 3 pg.64)
CHANDLER'S OLD GROCERY DURING CIVIL WAR DAYS
Old Times Up-town
"Chandler's store, on the lower corner of Beckford street, was
the general centre for local news and gossip of our
neighborhood on upper Federal street, especially in the long
summer evenings and particularly after the great rebellion, as
it was then called, broke upon the community.
It as a typical
old-fashioned grocery in an ancient yellow wooden dwellinghouse (originally) dating back to the early years of the
nineteenth and very possibly to the close of the eighteenth
century.
The store occupied the whole of the first floor with
a huge fat chimney passing up through the middle to the story
above, where dwelt a family up-stairs.
This chimney materially curtailed the space and the flour,
sugar and cracker barrels left little narrow pathways for the
customers. .A long counter extending from the door to the back
wall, traversed the eastern side of the store and back of that
was the long row of deep tin canisters for the teas and
coffees, sugar, spices, peas and beans.
Ham and bacon in
yellow and brown canvas coverings, hung from the beams overhead
and were diversified by strings of dried apples festooned
between.
But it was the barrel tops that furnished us our reat
forum for full and free discussion of the conduct of the war- a
tremendously engrossing topic.
Chandler's grocery dated back for years and years.
Joseph D.
Chandler, a very old man when I came on the stage, was the head
of the establishment from my earliest recollection and was soon
succeeded by his energetic and bustling son, John Chandler, who
years later built a modern grocery store across the street at
107 Federal, on the corner diagonally opposite of its old home,
and moved the business to the new location. The old store did
a flourishing business for certainly two generations in the
family, if not more, for it had a very solid community to cater
to,"
(Salem Evening News article by Charles Archer)
�As mentioned, an old house/store previously occupied this
site.
In 1874 John Chandler removed the old buildings on the
corner of Federal and Beckford streets (now #107) and built a
store and dwelling house.
In 1896 he removed an old house at
21 Beckford street and built a new house on the site.
He
repeated this pattern in 1897 when he removed the old building
at 106 Federal and had a new one built.

This notice, published in the Salem Gazette on May 1, 1896,
was written about 21 Beckford street, but could also apply to
106 Federal:
"Old house on Beckford Street about 175 years o~belonging to
John Chandler was demolished to make room for a dwelling built
in modern style, designed by Joseph c. Foster, architect.
we
understand Mr. Chandler proposes to erect a fine
two-story-and-a-half house with all the modern improvements,
for which there is abundant space."
�John Chandler was the son of John D. and Mary (McDonald)
Chandler.
He was born on May 31, 1832 at 7 River street.,
where he lived until 1874 when he went to live in his new house
at 107 Federal street.
Mr. Chandler attended Salem schools and
at an early age began to work as clerk in his father's grocery
store.

Part I: A History of the Land before 1896
The earliest official records regarding the land at Salem Neck, including Winter Island and
Juniper Point, date to November 1792 when the Supreme Judicial Court held at Salem granted
the peninsula of Salem Neck to Edward Allen, Sr. as an estate including the wharves and
warehouses thereupon. In 1801 Allen divided his estate with his son and namesake, Edward Allen
Jr., recorded in the Southern Essex Co. Registry of Deeds, Book 176 Leaf 196.
1801 Land Deed | Edward Allen, Sr. to Edward Allen, Jr.
Nine years later, in 1810 Edward Allen, Jr. sold a portion of the estate left to him by his father to
Salem merchant Josiah Orne, the deed for which describes the ‘parcel of land’:
…called Allen’s farm with all the buildings thereon standing being situated
partly on the Neck so called, and partly on Winter Island so called and
containing about forty five acres more or less, being bounded by the stone wall
as the same now stands, together with all the walls adjoining…
Orne was in possession of the property at Winter Island for only a half dozen years, after which
the property once again transferred hands in 1816 to Danvers native, Jonathan Dustin.
According to the 1816 Deed from Josiah Orne, Jonathan Dustin’s profession is noted as
‘Victualler’, meaning the Dustin’s family fortune was made in the licensed trade of alcoholic
liquor (and other provisions). The property would remain in the Dustin family for the next halfcentury and in subsequent records, including the 1874 Salem City Atlas, the portion of land
known as ‘Juniper Point’ of the Salem Neck is recorded as belonging to the ‘Heirs of Dustin’,
1
�25 Beach Avenue | Salem, Mass.
which included Dustin’s two adult daughters, Eliza Sutton and Serena Ayers. Just one year after
the publication of the 1874 Salem Atlas, the entire forty-five acres of the Dustin estate was sold to
Daniel B. Gardner for $21,000:
…we, Eliza Sutton and Serena Ayer of Peabody in the County of Essex… in
consideration of twenty one thousand dollars to us paid by Daniel B. Gardner,
Jr. of Salem… a parcel of land formerly called Allen’s Farm situated in Said
Salem partly on the Neck so called and partly on Winter Island so called and
containing about forty five acres more or less… Easterly by the sea shore and
Northerly North Westerly, Southwesterly and Southerly by land of the City of
Salem as the same to now enclosed by the stone walls and boundaries being
more particularly shown on a plan entitled “Plan of the Dustin Farm on Salem
Neck, 1854… Being the same premises that Josiah Orne conveyed to Jonathan
Dustin the father of said Eliza and Serena… [who] inherited the same.

Immediately after purchasing the property from the Heirs of Dustin, in October of 1875 Gardner
commissioned the land to be officially surveyed and divided by local surveyor, Charles A.
Putnam, the result of which was a plan to subdivide the Juniper Point peninsula, entitled ‘Plan of
Cottage Lots at Juniper Point Salem Neck’. Gardner, one of the wealthiest land owners in Salem
during the 19th century, planned to subsequently sell the individual parcels for others to build
summer homes along the Juniper Cove waterfront (see images on page 4).
The following Spring, in April of 1876, Daniel B. Gardner, Jr. sold two parcels (numbered 32 and
33 on the Putnam plan) to Horatio D. Allen for $500. The deed between Gardner and Allen
includes a specific condition that further confirms Gardner’s vision for the Juniper Point
development:
This conveyance is made on condition that no shop, public house, boarding
house, saloon or stable shall ever be erected on said lot, nor any building
thereon used for any of said purposes… and further that a strip of land ten feet
wide next to high water mark shall forever be kept open free and unobstructed
as a public ride walk and promenade.

Salem in the 1870s was in flux; the maritime industry that had held up Salem’s economy for
decades had crumbled in the 1820s and 30s, and by the middle of the 19th century the entire
industry had changed from seafaring to an international capitol of cloth and shoe manufacturing.
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 harbor-side electrical plant) was completed to
begin receiving large shipments of coal.

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 annually produce 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 Juniper point, the Allen family continued to use the land for farming and working purposes.
In 1883 Horatio D. Allen sold the property to his son, Joseph P. Allen (whose name again appears
in this report on the 1897 Salem Atlas as the neighboring house to 25 Beach Avenue) — Allen in
turn decided to sell half of the property, the lot numbered 33 on the Plan of Cottage Lots at
Juniper Point.

The 1891 Deed details the sale between Joseph P. Allen and Frank A. Wendell who purchased the
lot for $800, and includes the stipulation that a “strip of land thirty two (32) feet in width
extending from Central Avenue to the Sea shall be kept open and used in common by the owners
of said adjoining Estates.” Wendell then sold the land at Lot 33 in March 1896 to Samuel Shaw
from Newton, Mass. for “one dollar and other valuable considerations” (a common price for land
exchanges in 19th and early 20th century Essex County). One year prior in 1895, two brand new
streets were approved to be developed on Juniper Point: Central and Beach Avenues. Shaw
commenced work immediately on building the Queen Anne home at the intersection of Beach,
Central, and Cheval Avenues. By the end of the Spring 1896 the waterfront home was completed,
and Shaw sold the new home to the widow Harriet F. Perkins for $4,100. Just one year later, a
new official Atlas was published (presumably surveyed in 1896-7), the page showing Juniper
Point notes Mrs. Perkins at the new home, next door to J. P. Allen.

Part II: The Perkins Family
Mrs. Harriet F. Perkins was given the name Mary Elizabeth at birth, but someone in the Bingham
family decided better of it shortly after she was born on February 26th of 1845, and changed her
name to Harriet F. Bingham.

22 February 1868 Massachusetts Marriage Record of Fitz W. Perkins & Harriet F. Bingham
At the age of 22 Harriet was married to 23 year-old Fitz W. Perkins, a grocer and Gloucester,
Mass. native on the 22nd of February, 1868. Eighteen months later Harriet gave birth to the one
and only child born to the couple; Fitz and Harriet welcomed their son, Charles F. Perkins on
July 15th of 1869. The family spent the first few years of their marriage living in Gloucester while
Fitz worked as a grocer, as neighbors to Mr. Perkins’ parents, Jacob and Margaret, until 1874
when they relocated to Central Street in Salem, Mass.

During this decade in Salem, hordes of 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.
1883 Salem, Mass. Lithograph | The Point & the Naumkeag Steam Cotton Co. neighborhood
Fitz W. Perkins established a successful business with a Mr. Leroy Philbrick soon after he and his
family arrived in Salem. The partners created L. B. Philbrick & Perkins and dealt in ‘oils, paints,
and papers.’ Mr. and Mrs. Perkins, along with their son Charles, lived at several addresses
throughout the City, according to concurrent directories: in 1874 the family lived at 7 Central
Street, while Mr. Perkins’ business was located at 16 Central; then, by 1878 the business of
Philbrick & Perkins is at 229 Derby Street, and the Perkins’ home at 23 Pickman; in 1880 the
business had relocated to 36-38 Central Street, and the Perkins family to 91 Essex, in 1888 they
are at 13 Orne Sq, after which the family moved to 2 Pickman Street by 1890, and then 19 Winter
Street by 1893. Evidently, Fitz was also deeply involved in the politics of Salem, and by the age of
fifty he had gotten himself elected to the City Board of Alderman. It was 1894 when Mr. and Mrs.
Perkins took a trip to Washington, D. C. Fitz W. Perkins became gravely ill and died at the Hotel
Oxford. His obituary, published in the Salem Evening News on October 1st, details the
extraordinary man’s life (and a bit of 1894 Salem politics):

Alderman Perkins Dies at Washington
cords of the neck. The G. A. R. Post of
Washington had in the meantime been
communicated with by the local post, and they
visited the sick man at about that time. The
attending physician stated the seriousness of the
case, and the post immediately ordered the
department physician to attend. That gentleman
was one of Garfield’s physicians.
A consultation was held, and the
doctors decided that in order to combat with the
disease it was absolutely necessary to open the
growth at the back of the neck. That operation
was successfully performed, and a large amount
of poisonous matter removed.
The poison accumulated so rapidly,
however, that the skill of the best physicians in
the country was of no avail and Mr. Perkins soon
after passed away.
The disease so rapidly enveloped his
system that his mind was unbalanced on several
occasions during the first three weeks of his
sickness. Sunday morning it was evident that the
end was near. He lapsed into unconsciousness
and remained in that state until death ensued.
He was unconscious some little time
before his final attack, and failed to recognize his
brothers, who had gone on to see him.
The attending physicians stated
yesterday that they had Mr. Perkins started for
home upon the first attack of illness, it was
exceedingly doubtful if he would have made the
journey alive. During his unconscious spells his
mind continually preyed upon city affairs, and
repeatedly he would rise and ask to be taken
home, as he must get there and vote on the
Longham meadow matter. The doctors were of
the opinion aided materially in the progress of
the disease, as it was impossible to keep him,
while suffering so frightfully from these
deliriums.
Mrs. Perkins, accompanied by her two
brothers, left Washington last evening, arriving
home this forenoon. The son, Charles F., will
leave Washington today with the body. It was the
intention of the Washington post, to send a
member with the son.
Second Death in Board This Year.
Has a Very Important Political Aspect.
Leaves Longham Supporters a Clear Majority.
Opponents Will Petition to Have Both Seats
Filled.
Fitz W Perkins died at Hotel Oxford,
Washington, at 1.08 Sunday afternoon, after an
illness dating from the national encampment of
the G. A. R. At Pittsburg, a month ago.
Three weeks ago the deceased was
taken to the hotel ad Washington, upon the
advice of physicians, he having developed
alarming symptoms for typhoid fever. Mrs.
Perkins, his wife, was with him and remained by
his side until death ensued.
Soon after his admittance to the hotel ,
typhoid fever set in. The attuning physicians did
everything within their power to allay the ravages
of the disease, and were successful in
counteracting its influence on the system. He
rallied slightly, only to be attached by erysipelas.
A growth was soon noticeable upon the
11
�25 Beach Avenue | Salem, Mass.
condition was such that he was unable to
withstand the ravages of the disease.
Its Political Significance.
If VacancyIs Not Filled Longham Meadow Basin
Is Assured.
The death of Alderman Perkins is the
sole topic of conversation in political circles. It
means considerable to the citizens. If his
successor is not elected Messrs. Knight, Gove
and Stickney would form a majority of the board
and the Longham meadow scheme would go
through with a rush.
That movement will be checkmated by
the opponents to the measure, however, by a
petition for an election to fill the vacancies in the
board. That means two new aldermen.
The canvass for the offices would be
bitterly contested by the men favoring Longham
meadow, as, unless they win a victory their
scheme for furnishing water to the citizens can
never pass.
The opponents will not work so hard,
but will endeavor to induce gentlemen to run for
offices that the citizens can rely upon, the men
who will thoroughly investigate matters before
rushing a scheme of any description through the
board.
The Dead Alderman.
It Was His First Political Office — A Good
Record as a Soldier, Extending Over 26 Years.
Fitz W. Perkins was born in
Gloucester, Aug. 20, 1844. He was educated in
the public schools, and after finishing his
education entered the grocery business. After
concluding his career as a groceryman he entered
the paint and oil business. He associated himself
with L. B. Philbrick & Perkins, dealers in oils,
paints and paper, with headquarters in this city.
The firm has enjoyed prosperity and run teams to
all portions of the county and this section of the
state.
Mr. Perkins has a long military record
with some 26 years continuous service. When the
war broke out he enlisted as a private in Co. G,
Eighth Regiment, and after serving nine months
was discharged. He re-enlisted June 4, 1863, as
sergeant in the Second Massachusetts Heavy
artillery and refined in service until June 27, 1865.
In August, 1863, he enlisted as a
member of Co. . Eighth Regiment. M. V. M. He
served time as a corporal and sergeant, and on
May 15, 1868, was elected second lieutenant.
April 20, 1869, he was promoted to the first
lieutenancy, and August 18, 1869, was
discharged.
He again mustered into service March
15, 1875, as quartermaster sergeant of the Eight
Regiment, Aug. 11, 1879, he was appointed
quartermaster, and held that office for a number
of years.
He was a member of the G. A. R. Royal
Arcanum and one of the leaders in the Pilgrim
Fathers, having occupied many offices in that
order.
Mr. Perkins was originally a member of
Allen post 45, G. A. R., of Gloucester, and was a
past commander of that organization. He was a
past president of the Eighth Regiment Veteran
association. He was a deputy supreme governor
of several Pilgrim Father lodges. When the Salem
Board of Trade was formed he became a member
and has since taken great interest in its work.
He was elected to the board of
aldermen last December, that being the first
Was on a Pleasure Trip.
Succumbed to Illness In Washington About Two
Weeks Ago
The death of Alderman Perkins is the
second to be recorded among the members of the
board of aldermen of this city for the year of 1894,
Alderman Fabens having been the first to pass
away.
Death was the result of an attack of
erysipelas, with other complications.
Alderman Perkins left Salem a few
weeks ago to attend the national G. A. R.
Encampment at Pittsburg. He was not feeling
very well at the time, but insisted upon making
the trip.
At Pittsburg he partially succumbed to
an attack of illness, but rallied an insisted on
starting for the battle field of Newburn, N. C.
With a large party. He got as far as Washington,
where he was forced to take to his bed. Here he
remained ever since, attended by the best
physicians in the Capitol city. His physical
12

political office he had ever held. He was an
opponent to the Longham meadow scheme, and
it was his illness that brought about the present
condition of affairs.
He was married and leaves a widow, and
one son, Charles F., of the firm of Odell &
Perkins.
through him that in 1882 I severed my connection
with the Cadets and joined the Eighth Regiment.
Our social relations were pleasant and friendly.
We visited at each other’s homes, and the
friendship extended to the other members of our
families.”
The day before he started for Pittsburg
he came into my shop and in talking over the
matter he expresses the wish that I would
accompany him. I said it would be a pleasure but
business would not permit. That evening he and
Mrs. Perkins came to my house and bid Mrs.
Stickney and myself good bye. His death removes
a friend that I shall ever deplore.”
Alderman Flynn— “My relations with
Mr. Perkins began at the Columbus Day parade,
Oct. 21, 1892, we serving together on the staff of
Wm. G. Webber, marshal of the trades’ division.
Then I found him a perfect gentleman and a
pleasant companion. Since his coming into the
board of aldermen I found he displayed the same
gentlemanly qualities. He was earnest and sincere
in all his actions, and although sometimes we
differed on the wisest courses to follow in
municipal matters, any such difference never
interfered with our personal relations. His death
is a loss to the city, which in common with all
citizens I regret, and also regard his death as a
personal loss, it being the removal of one whom I
regarded as a dear friend. By his death I am left
the only member of the committee on elections
which was originally Messrs. Fabens, Perkins and
myself.”
Alderman Sawyer— “My acquaintance
with Alderman Perkins dates back 25 years,
having first met him on the road before either of
us moved to Salem.
“The death of Mr. Perkins comes home
to me as though he was a member of the family.
He was the only member of the bard that I was
personally acquainted with, before the recent
election.
“He was as good a friend as a man could
have and if he ever gave his word you could rely
on it. He was faithful to all trusts and everything
placed in his care was always looked alert. He was
an earnest, honest and fearless worker, attending
to his duties in a thoroughly impartial manner.
“In politics, he was a Republican.
While in office, he never cared for the future,
desiring only accomplish what, in his mind was
the true solution of the problem which
confronted him.”
His Associates.
Mayor Turner and the Five Remaining Aldermen
Speak in High Terms of His Worth as a Man and
as a Public Servant.
The news of Alderman Perkins’ death,
though somewhat expected by his fellow
members, as well as by the public, was
nevertheless a great shock to them, more
especially as it was the second time within the
year that death has entered the chamber.
Regardless of political differences, Alderman
Perkins was highly regarded by all his associates.
They ever found him considerate and courteous
man, a man f honor, high minded and having the
interest of the city at heart, doing what he saw to
be his duty, and holding steadfastly to his course.
The mayor and the five remaining
aldermen each had a warm tribute to offered
when the news of his death was brought to them.
Mayor Turner expressed sorrow and
spoke in feeling terms of Mr. Perkins’ many
excellent qualities. Especially he did refer to the
genial companionship of the deceased member in
the executive sessions of the board, where they
were more manifest than at the open sessions; at
the latter, he was dignified and earnest in debate
and conscientious in action.
Alderman Knight — “I regret sincerely
the death of Mr. Perkins. My acquaintance with
him was not so lang as other members of the
board, it having begun at the city election last
year. Since meeting him in the board of aldermen
I learned to respect and esteem him highly. Our
reactions were always pleasant, differences of
opinion as to public matters not marine in the
least our personal relations. He was a pleasant
companion and conscientious public official.
Alderman Stickney— “I knew Mr.
Perkins better than any other member of the
board. Our relations began many years ago in the
militia, I being a member of the Second Corps
and he a member of the Eighth Regiment. It was
13
�25 Beach Avenue | Salem, Mass.
“His death is to be regretted by all classes.”
Alderman Gove— “It is indeed very sad
to lose another member of our board. I
considered Alderman Perkins as a most valuable
member of the board and we shall feel his loss
very much. We seem to have been singularly
unfortunate this year. Two deaths and the serious
injury to Alderman Sawyer, which compelled him
to be absent from the meetings for some time, is a
remarkable state of affairs. I trust that no other
calamity will befall us for the remainder of our
term of office.”
Mayor Turner, Aldermen Knight and
Gove were appointed a committee to draw up
resolutions on the death of Alderman Perkins.
The mayor, with full board, was
appointed a committee to make arrangements for
the funeral.
The city messenger was requested to
drape the late alderman’s chair in mourning.
It was voted not to hold any other
meeting until after the funeral. On the day of the
funeral the City hall will be closed and all the
departments of the city will be closed.
The only business done was the
drawing of jurors. Frank W. Benson, Charles W.
Read and William Sutton drawn.
Alderman Knight and Flynn will
probably go to Boston to accompany the remains
to Salem.
Second Death on Board
Alderman Fabens Passed Away Early in the Year.
It is a little singular that there should be
two deaths in the board of aldermen within eight
months, yet such is the case. Alderman Fabens
died suddenly at Bridgeport, Conn., early in the
year while on his way home from Europe whither
he had been in search of health. This death left
the board a tie on the water question, and now
that tie is broken by the second death.
Funeral Tuesday.
It Will Be Held from His Late Home on Winter
Street at 2.30.
Alderman Perkins’ brothers arrived in Salem this
morning. They announced that the funeral would
be h eld from his late home on Winter street,
Tuesday afternoon at 2,30 o’clock, and that it was
the wish of the widow to have it as private as
possible. The body will arrive in Boston about
8.30 this evening.
The G. A. R. Notified.
Local Post Has Followed the Sickness of Its
Comrade — Adjutant Goes to Meet the Remains.
The local post of the G. A. R. Has kept
constantly informed of the condition of its sick
comrade, and I. W. Stone, assistant adjutant
general of the department of the district, has
acted as the agent of the post. A message was
received from him Sunday, conveying the
intelligence of Mr. Perkins’ death, and Dr. A. M.
Dudley, the adjutant, immediately started for
New York, to meet the remains. A committee
from the post will meet the remains in Salem.
Board of Trade Meeting.
The board of trade will meet this
evening at 8 o’clock to take action on the death of
Alderman Perkins, who was a member of the
executive committee.
Aldermen Meet.
Appropriate Action Taken On the Death of Their
Fellow Member.
The board of aldermen held a special
meeting at 9 o’clock this morning. Mayor Turner
presided and all members were present.

�Historic Salem Inc. | House History Report
After twenty-five years of marriage, Harriet F. Perkins found herself widowed at the age of 49.
She continued to live at the couple’s last address, 19 Winter Street (until 1899), and presumably
she and her son Charles were the beneficiaries of her late husband’s Estate. Two years after Fitz
W. Perkins passing, Harriet purchased the house on Juniper Point from Samuel Shaw in June of
1896:
…in consideration of forty-one hundred dollars paid by Harriet F. Perkins,
widow, of Salem … do hereby give, grant, bargain sell and convey unto the said
Harriet F. Perkins a certain lot of land situate on Juniper Point, so called, in
said Salem being lot numbered thirty three (33) on a “Plan of Cottage Lots at
Juniper Point Salem Neck, C. A. Putnam, Surveyor Oct. 1875”…
1896 Property Deed | Samuel Shaw to Harriet F. Perkins
The design and layout of the neighborhood at Juniper Point was entirely intentional; the vision of
Daniel B. Gardner, who had bought, surveyed, and subdivided, and sold the property in the
mid-1870s was clearly intended in some of the earliest deeds granted to the residents of Juniper
Point (and Salem Neck), which included explicit language as to what the premises could (or more
accurately, could not) be used for:
15
�25 Beach Avenue | Salem, Mass.
“… no building nor any part thereof on said land shall be used as a hotel,
boarding-house, saloon, shop, livery or boarding stable, or for manufacturing
purposes, or for any purposes than for a private dwelling house, with the usual
out-buildings, including a private stable; no stable, however, to be rested within
50’ of any street, and with the further agreement that no swine shall be kept on
said land…”
1911 Salem Atlas | Mrs. Perkins at 43 Central Avenue (now 25 Beach Avenue)
By the time of Mrs. Perkins’ purchase of the home in the early Summer of 1896, much of the land
that had once been owned and parceled out by Daniel B. Gardner had been purchased and
developed into a retreat of sorts for well-to-do Salemites looking to escape the heat of Downtown
Salem in the humid New England summers. At the turn of the 20th century, Salem Willows was
being developed with amusement rides and restaurants just around the corner from the Juniper
Point summer homes along the waterfront. Apparently Mrs. Perkins enjoyed living on Salem
Neck enough that she decided to make it her permanent residence (though she retained
ownership of 19 Winter Street) and by 1900 she is listed living on Central Avenue. (The address
of the Perkins’ waterfront home changed once more in the time between 1911 and 1915, when the
current address of 25 Beach Avenue became the permanent identity of the Queen Anne home.)

On the morning of June 25, 1914 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.
25th June 1914 | The Great Salem Fire consumes a third of the City
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 some 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; fortunately, the Perkins family did not lose anything.

1900 US Federal Census | Salem, Mass. | Central Avenue, Juniper Point
Harriet ‘Hattie’ F. Perkins remained living at the home until she disappears from the local
records in 1916, as she presumably passed away in 1915 at the age of 70. Documents show that
Mrs. Perkins left her estate (including both homes on Winter Street and Beach Avenue) to her
only son, Charles F. Perkins, now a married man with a career as an accountant, who is listed in
the Salem Directory as living at 25 Beach Avenue in 1916 through 1918, after which he retained
ownership but did not live at the home on Juniper Point full-time; rather it was used by the family
as a summer retreat from the sweltering heat of downtown Salem in the summertime.

1926 Survey of Salem Neck| Waterfront Homes at Juniper Point
Charles F. Perkins continued to own the home at 25 Beach Avenue and the Perkins family and
friends undoubtedly spent many a long summer evening on the shores at Juniper Point.
Throughout the 1920s and early 1930s the home is listed on the Salem Street Directories as
being the summer residence of C. F. Perkins until 1938. From the time that Charles’ widowed
mother purchased the brand new home on the waterfront of Juniper Point in 1896 until the
property was sold in 1938, the home at 25 Beach Avenue and the Perkins family were witness to a
rapidly changing city just across the Salem Sound.
After the Great Salem Fire of 1914, one of the greatest urban disasters in the history of the United
States, 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.

1926 Salem Mass. City Hall | Salem’s Tercentenary Celebration
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. 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, various other large-scale
retailers, and Beverly’s United Shoe Machinery Company were all major local employers.

In May of 1938 Charles F. Perkins sold the property at 25 Beach Avenue to Alfred T. Poulter and
his wife, Marion E. Poulter. (Charles Perkins relocated to Los Angeles, California in the late
1930s where he would spend the rest of his life until his passing in 1943.) Evidently, according to
contemporary directories the Poulter family made 25 Beach Avenue their year-round residence.
(Researcher’s note: 25 Beach Avenue is sometimes labelled 136 Bay View Avenue in contemporary
City directories.)
21
�25 Beach Avenue | Salem, Mass.
Part III: The Poulter Family
Alfred Thomas Poulter was born in Plaistow, in Essex, England in the County Borough of West
Ham, the second youngest of the four children of Samuel James and Charlotte Poulter (née
Raisbeck): James, born in 1894, Joy Hilda born in 1895, Alfred Thomas Poulter born in 1899, and
finally Herbert born in 1901. The Poulter family emigrated through Boston, Mass. in May of 1906
from London, England when Alfred Thomas was just turning seven years old, and settled in
Connecticut. Samuel James Poulter earned a living as a painter to support his family, while the
Poulter children were educated in local schools.
Alfred Thomas Poulter remained in East Windsor, Connecticut where he lived and worked in the
Warehouse Point Village neighborhood of the city. According to the 1920 Federal Census ,
Alfred was living with his family as a single 20-year old, working as a foreman at a local cotton
mill. He had been naturalized as an American citizen just one year before in 1919.
In 1922 Alfred T. Poulter relocated to Salem, Mass. which sustained on its own booming cotton
mill industry, where he found work as a bookkeeper and a place to board at 75 Hathorne. By 1924
Alfred had found a new place to board at 116 Columbus Avenue on Juniper Point, while working
as a cashier (i.e. bookkeeper) at Swift & Co., a local beef wholesale provision market, located at
274 Bridge Street. During his time boarding on Columbus Avenue, Alfred Poulter would meet
the young woman who would eventually become his wife: Marion Elizabeth Spencer; the two
were wed in 1926.
Marion E. Spencer was born in Salem on the 22nd of September, 1899, the only child of Alfred
and Margaret E. Spencer (née Hamilton). Alfred Spencer came to Salem from England to apply
his trade as a shoemaker. Margaret E. Hamilton was born in the burgeoning industrial town of
Northbridge, Massachusetts in a neighborhood village called Whitinsville; it is no coincidence
that her family made their way to Salem in the second half of the 19th century, as Salem’s
booming industrial economy drew thousands from all over the world, especially those involved
with steam power manufacturing.
The Spencer family including Alfred, Margaret, and Marion Elizabeth lived at 12 Margin Street
with Marion’s paternal grandmother, Martha Spencer (née Crabtree). At just seven years old,
22
�Historic Salem Inc. | House History Report
Marion’s father Alfred passed away after a week-long bout of peritonitis 1 in March of 1908.
Marion and her mother continued to live at 12 Margin Street, along with Margaret Spencer’s
mother (Marion’s maternal grandmother), Isabella Hamilton, and a 66 year-old boarder from
Maine named Sarah Leighton.
Marion lived on Margin Street until she finished with her primary school education, after which
she moved (along with her mother) to a boarding house on Brown Street in 1919-20. According
to the 1920 US Federal census, Marion was one of seven ladies living at 18 Brown Street; she was
the youngest of the seven at age 20 (Marion’s mother, Margaret, worked as a housekeeper for the
boarding house.) Helen A. Sutton, the homeowner, worked for the ‘gentlemen’s home’ as a
social worker, sisters Mary and Christine Sutherland came from Canada and both worked in a
local lamp factory, Amelia MacArtie, the daughter of an Italian woman and an Irish man worked
as a bookkeeper at a general furnishing store, and Hannah Shepherd who worked as an
‘attendant’ to a private family.
1921 Salem Normal School Yearbook | Marion E. Spencer
“The secret of success is constancy to purpose.”
By 1921 Marion and her mother moved once again, this time to 15 Messervy Street while Marion
attended the Salem Normal School (now North Campus at Salem State University), where she
studied to become a teacher. She remained living on Messervy Street while working as a teacher
until she met and married Alfred Thomas Poulter in 1926.

�25 Beach Avenue | Salem, Mass.
After the wedding, the new Mr. and Mrs. Alfred T. Poulter resided at 16 Leach Street for a short
time, just long enough to apply for naturalization as a United States citizen in 1927. In February
of 1928 the couple welcomed their first child, Marylyn Margaret Poulter. Later in the same year
the couple had relocated to Gardner, Massachusetts, and in 1931 the second Poulter child was
born: Hamilton Thomas Poulter (named for his maternal grandmother’s surname and father’s
middle name). The young Poulter family lived in several different places within Gardner, where
they remained until 1936, when the Gardner, Mass. Directory notes that the Poulter family had
relocated back to Salem.
The 1936 and 1937 Directories indicate that the Poulter family lived at 2A Willow Avenue in
Salem, and Alfred returned to working for Swift & Co. as a cashier/bookkeeper. In May of 1938
Alfred T. Poulter purchased the home at 25 Beach Avenue from Charles F. Perkins for $3,500
and the cost of back-taxes to the City of Salem. The Poulter family moved in to their newly
procured home and made the seaside home their year-round residence until 1953, when the
property was sold to the Dumas Family.

At the end of the summer in 1953 Alfred T. Poulter sold the property to Leo H. Dumas, whose
heirs still reside at the property on Juniper Point. According to the family, the deal to sell the
home was struck during a friendly night out in Salem’s Derby Street neighborhood.

Osgood Street, located just off Bridge Street, is named for Capt. John Osgood (1757-1826)1. Bridge Street Neck is
on a peninsula of land between the North River and Collins Cove. It is a compact urban neighborhood located a
short distance from downtown Salem and serving as an important gateway into the city from the town of Beverly
to the north. The resources of Bridge Street Neck, ranging from the late 18th century to the present day include
the homes of prosperous sea captains and merchants, as well as the dwellings of the middling and working
classes who found employment in the neighborhood’s maritime-related businesses and, in nearby factories and
car shops during the 19th and early 20th centuries.
In the late 19th century, the growth of Bridge Street Neck was fueled by a variety of neighborhood industries
including factories that produced jute bags, leather, and lead products as well as the repair shops and car barns
for several railroads. This house is located within an area believed to be the first settlement of Europeans in
Salem in 1626 and is one of the first colonies along the New England coast.2
This house first appears in the 1897-1898 Salem City Directory with Austin M. Banks, a car carpenter, inhabiting
the 41 Osgood Street side, and Henry L. Andrews, a car carpenter, inhabiting the 43 Osgood Street side. The 1897
atlas of Salem is the first atlas in which this house makes an appearance so we can reasonably conclude the

Kenneally Family (1892-1947)
Mrs. Margaret M. (Mahoney) Kenneally, wife of John M. Kenneally, a railway postal clerk, purchased this lot of
land in November of 1892. It was purchased along with the land on the corner of East Collins and Osgood Street,
later numbered 39, and this is where she and her family live throughout the time they owned the property next
door. Shortly after Mrs. Margaret Kenneally purchased the property she had the 41-43 Osgood Street house
built, evidently for rental income as she never appears to have lived there. The residents over the years have
ranged from machinists to car carpenters and a florist, all listed out in the residents' table. Eventually, her son,

�Joseph Arthur Kenneally, Secretary to the Superintendent of Schools, inherited the property through probate4 after
his parents’ death. It is uncertain the exact date of their passing but it seems it was sometime between the 1930
and 1940 censuses5.
The 1920 census lists John M. Kenneally, age 60, and Margaret M., age 58, both from Ireland, living at 39 Osgood
Street with their 30-year-old son, and the household listing for the 1930s census shows they were still all
occupying the house next door to 41-43 Osgood. At this time John had retired and Joseph was still working as
the Secretary to the Superintendent of Schools. By the 1940s census, J. Arthur Kenneally, Secretary to the
Superintendent of Schools, was listed as the head of household at 39 Osgood Street with his wife, Helene.
Ayers Family (1947-2010)
Mary L. (Balicka) Ayers was born April 1, 1927 in Woonsocket, RI, to Josef & Elizabeth (Jablonski) Balicka. Robert
Francis Ayers was born May 21, 1921 in Salem, MA, to James Francis Ayers & Elizabeth C. (Bates) Ayers. Robert
predeceased his wife on March 20, 1998, while Mary lived until September 5, 2010.6 Mary had been employed
by the City of Salem in their school lunch program for over 20 years, retiring in 1991. In 1950, Robert was a
foundry worker at a shoe machine manufacturing company.7 Together they had 2 children: a son, Richard F. Ayers
and a daughter, Jane (Ayers) Beck.8 The 1946 Salem City Directory shows an Ayers family started occupying the
41 Osgood Street side of this house one year before they purchased the entire property.

�The Maurais Family
Charles Francois Maurais (1841-1914) was born October 24, 1841 in St Anne Province,
Quebec, Canada to Pierre and Marie (Lebrun) Maurais. Sarah Beaulieu1, Charles' future wife,
was born in February 1845 in Canada to father Jean Baptiste Beaulieu. Her mother is unknown.
Charles and Sarah married in 1865 in Ste-Anne-de-la-Pocatiere, Quebec, Canada.2 The couple
had six children. The family immigrated to the United States on May 10, 1883.3 They were
naturalized as citizens on October 12, 1892.4 Sarah died first but her exact date of death is
unclear. It is only known that she passed away before Charles because his death certificate
states that he was a widower at his date of death. Charles died May 2, 1914 from a hemorrhage.
He had sclerosis towards the end of his life which also contributed to his death.5 His son, Charles
F. Maurais then took possession of the home, which burned barely two months later on June
25, 1914 in the Great Salem Fire.
Charles F. Maurais (1868-1946) was born in February 1868 in Canada. His wife,
Augustina Gagnon (1863-1924)6, was born in Canada in July 1863 to Elzear and Emma Gagnon.
Before they were married, they both immigrated from Canada in 1883 at the age of 20. Both
spoke only French when they first came to the United States. Charles eventually learned English
but Augustina never did.7 The couple married on May 18, 1891.8 They had eight children:
Dorilda (b. 1894), Maria Louise (b.1896), Charles (b. 1898), Charlotte (b. 1898), Arthur (b. 1899),

�George (b. 1901), Augustine (b. 1906), and Henry (b. 1908). Not much is known about the
deaths of Charles or his wife.
Charles then sold the lot of land that his parents' house had stood on to Jules Gourdeau.
The Gourdeau’s quickly rebuilt and by 1916, the new home was standing. They immediately
sold it to the Belleau family.
The Belleau Family
Eudore Elzear Belleau (1885-1933) was born on December 8, 1885 to Elzear (1856-1937)
and Amanda Marois (1864-1951) in Cap-Saint-Ignace, Chaudiere-Appalaches Region, Quebec,
Canada. Eudore had ten siblings. Eudore married Athala Thibault on November 22, 1914 in
Lowell, Massachusetts.9 Athala was born to Amedee and Adelle (Morin) Thibault on February
27, 1890 in Saint-Eugène, Centre-du-Quebec Region, Quebec, Canada. Athala had six siblings.
Both Eudore and Athala immigrated to the US in 1903.10 Once here, Eudore was a sheet metal
worker for his father’s company, E. Belleau & Son.11
Eudore and Athala had four children: Annette Germaine Belleau (Roy) (1915-2002)
Rodger (1917-1968), Aime (b. 1918) and Jean Paul (1930-1962). Annette went on to be a
hairdresser while Rodger and Aimee both worked as sheet workers at their family’s metal
company, E. Belleau & Son. Eudore died November 17, 1933 from hypertension, chronic heart
disease, and mitral regurgitation. Athala died October 17, 1974.

�After three years of owning the home, the Belleau family sold it to the Theriault family.
On December 27, 1919, the sale was finalized and the 99 years of the Theriault family residing
at 101 Leach Street began.
The Theriault Family12
Alfred and Marie Louise
Alfred Hermene Theriault (1875-1954) was born April 15, 1875 in Saint-Épiphane,
Bas-Saint-Laurent Region, Quebec, Canada to Marie Clarisse St. Jean (Anctil) (1852-1941)13 and
Cyprien Theriault (1845-1928).14 He had six siblings. Alfred immigrated to the US on October 13,
1891 and was naturalized on October 16, 1900.15 Marie Louise Martin (1875-1952) was born to
Antoine and Cazari (Thibault) Martin in September of 1875. Marie had eight siblings.16 Marie
immigrated to the US in 1883.17
Alfred Theriault married Marie Louise Martin on June 7, 1897 in Salem, Massachusetts.
The couple had nine children: Joseph (1898-1971), Sylvio (1899-1918), Elise (1901-1972), Emile
(1902-1990), Elias (b. 1903), Emma (1905-1955), Laura (1907-1998), Pantaleon (1912-1983),
and Cecile (b. 1913). Prior to living on Leach Street, the family lived at 9 Naumkeag Street. This
home was close to the Naumkeag Steam Cotton Company where Alfred was a loom fixer.

Spellings vary from Theriault, Therriault, Therrault. For the sake of this report, Theriault will be used.

�Marie died in 1952 and Alfred died December 24, 1954. Both of them passed away after
selling the house to their son Pantaleon Theriault and his wife Nellie B. Theriault.
Pantaleon (Leon) and Nellie Theriault
Joseph Pantaleon Bernard Theriault (1912-1983) was born February 12, 1912 in Salem.
He enlisted in the United States Navy on December 15, 1942 and was honorably discharged on
November 21, 1945.18 After returning from the military, Leon worked in linoleum as a layer,
working for a floor covering company.19
Barbara Nellie Stankus was born August 12, 1912 to Anna (Sidaris) (1881-1925) and Felix
Stanley Stankus (1879-1952), both of Austria. She had six siblings. Nellie had worked for Sylvania
before having children. The couple had four children: Barbara, Marie Louise, Victor and Peter.
Leon died July 3, 1983 with Nellie following on March 21, 2010 at 97 years old. Both are
buried in St. Mary’s Cemetery. In 1988, Nellie sold the home to her two sons, Victor and Peter,
who owned it until 2018, thus ending the 99 years of the Theriault’s on Leach Street.
