�Owners & Occupants
13½ Meadow Street, Salem
By Robert Booth, Public History Services Inc., January, 2020.
According to available evidence, this house was built in 1898 for machinist
Charles R. Banks and wife Mary Mccusker.
In April, 1894, Mary Lavery granted to Mary, wife of Charles R. Banks, of Salem,
a lot fronting 50' on Meadow Street, being formerly Lot 146 in the division of the
E. H. Derby estate (ED 1407:295). Her husband James Lavery had acquired it
in 1883 (ED 1115:152).
Charles Richard Banks (1864 .. 1925) was born in Annapolis, Nova Scotia, in
1864, the son of William Henry Banks and Phoebe J. Coombs. Charles was
among the eldest oftwelve children. Charles immigrated to the United States in
1888 and settled in Salem. He worked as a machinist and on April 27, 1893,
married Mary J. Mccusker of Salem.
Mary was born in Ireland, the daughter of John and Sarah Mccusker, who came to
Salem by 1870 with their family. John died in 1871, leaving Sarah with the care of
Patrick, Mary, Margaret, and Ellen, aged 17 to 11. Mary worked as a dressmaker
by 1880; her brother Patrick J. Mccusker became a lawyer; the McCuskers resided
at 2 Laurel Street in 1880 (see 1880 census, h. 222). Later Patrick J. Mccusker
would purchase the house at 15 Meadow Street.
In Salem, the McCuskers found a city (once an important seaport) that was a
thriving manufacturing and transportation center. The largest textile factory was
that of the Naumkeag Steam Cotton Company, at the foot of Harbor Street, on the
Point; but the major employer was the leather industry, whose factories and
tanneries lined Boston Street and Mason Street, near the Broadley house.
Salem was carried forward by manufacturing 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 Holly Street; many are
in the French Second Empire style, with mansard roofs).
In 1874 the city was visited by a tornado and shaken by a minor earthquake. 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 1500 people (including hundreds of children) and
produce annually nearly 15 million yards of cloth. Forty 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.
Salem kept building infrastructure; and new businesses arose, and established
businesses expanded. Retail stores thrived; horse-drawn trolleys ran every
which-way; and rnachlnlsts, 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.
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, and off Jefferson Avenue near St. Anne's Church. A jute
bagging company prospered with plants on Skerry Street and English Street; its
products were sent south to be used in cottonbaling. Salem factories also
produced lead, paint, and oil. At the Eastern Railroad yard on Bridge Street, cars
were repaired and even built new.
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.
In 1887 the streets were first lit with electricity, replacing gas. 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.
This was the point at which Charles R. Banks arrived from Nova Scotia.
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
2
�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 lumber-yards. Only a canal was left, running in from Derby and
Central Wharves to Lafayette Street.
In 1894 the rest of the Banks family moved to Salem from Nova Scotia. Among
them was Henry E. Banks (1867-1953), who soon found work as a foreman at
the Forest River Lead Works. At that time Charles R. Banks was working as a
machinist. Charles soon joined Henry as a foreman at the Lead Works, a
complex that straddled the Forest River in Salem-Marblehead, at the head of
Salem Harbor.
Charles and Mary would have two children: Sarah E., born in July, 1894, and
James J., born in April, 1898. The family was Roman Catholic, the religion in which
Mary had been raised. At first they resided at 13 Meadow Street, their home
through 1897 (per Directory).
On the back of the lot, the Bankses had a new house built in _______ as their
new residence (#13½). The house on the front of the lot (#13) was rented to
tenants.
VALUATION
On Dec. 1, 1898, the Bankses took out a mortgage with the Salem Five for
$1000 (ED 1564:455).
In the 1899 Directory, we see Charles R. Banks, machinist, head of a household
residing at "rear 13 Meadow." In the 1901 Directory he is again identified as a
foreman at the Lead Works (as was brother Henry Banks, who lived in
Marblehead). The rest of the Banks family then lived at 33 Hazel Street, except for
the father William Henry Banks (1841-1916) who resided in Marblehead and
worked as a laborer.
In the 1900 census (house 29, ward five), we find Charles R. Banks, 37, at "13 rear
Meadow." He was working as a machinist. Mary J. was 41; Sarah was five and
James two. Charles continued to work as a machinist and foreman at the Lead
Works. His mother and most of his sisters moved to Lynn (1905). Charles
prospered, and he and Mary acquired more property in Salem, including (in 1907)
three lots on Hazel & Roslyn Streets.
3
�In 1910 the family resided here (13½) per the census (h. 343, ward 5):
Charles, 47, had become a painter, with his own art shop; Mary was 49, Sarah
15, and James 12. Charles' mother, Phoebe, 67, resided in Lynn with her
daughters Nettie, Wealthy, Helen, Ruth, and Louise, all working in sales
(census).
In 1910 and 1911 (per Directories) Charles was identified as working as a
machinist; but he was also a painter. In 1911-12 the family moved to then-11
Roslyn Street (per Directories): in 1912 Charles was identified as a machinist, in
1913 a painter.
The family did not return to 13½ Meadow Street, which, in 1913, was rented to
Elmer 0. Stanchfield, who kept a grocery store at 17 Meadow (per 1913
Directory).
In September, 1913, Charles and Mary again mortgaged the premises at 13
and 13½ Meadow Street for $2500 to the Salem Five bank (ED 2226:587).
In 1914 Mrs. Phoebe (Coombs) Banks would move to Somerville with two of her
daughters; and in 1935 she would die there at the age of ninety-two.
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 and 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 wooden homes 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,
4
�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 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. In short order, businesses were rebuilt and new
houses and apartment buildings went up; and several urban-renewal projects
(including Hawthorne Boulevard, which involved removing old houses and
widening old streets) were put into effect.
By 1917 the Banks family had moved from Roslyn Street to then-67 Ocean
Avenue (per Directory). The family of Edwin Dorrien (1868-1949) then moved in
here. He was working as a driver, daughter Alice was a shoe worker, son Walter F.
worked in Beverly at the United Shoe Machinery Corporation (per Directory). A
native of Cleveland, Ohio, Edwin was the son of John Dorrien, born in Scotland,
and Eliza Young, born in Ireland. In 1892, in Georgetown, Mass., he and Anne
Victoria Gilroy {1869-1922) had wed; and they would have many children. In the
1890s they moved to Haverhill, then to Somerville and environs; and by 1904 they
were in Salem. By 1910 Edwin was a driver (teamster) for a tonic company.
In 1920 (per census, ward 5, h. 118) the numerous Dorrien family lived here:
Edwin, 50, worked as a buffer at a leather factory; the others were Annie V., 49,
Leonard, 25, leather worker, Helen, 21, stenographer, Charles, 17, sorter in a
leather factory, Grace, 15, and Louise, 12. Older offspring Edwin L. and Alice F.
lived elsewhere. The Dorriens were residing here in 1922 when Mrs. Annie V.
(Gilroy) Dorrien died on May 18. Edwin would survive her by many years; he died
on June 24, 1949 .
.
In 1925, both Mary and Charles Banks died. Mary died on January
Charles died on April 23rd• Both died at home, 67 Ocean Avenue.
zz=.
In March, 1927, James J. Banks, 29, and his slster Sarah (Mrs. Harold Regan),
32, sold the premises at 13-13½ Meadow to Mrs. Marie Jeanne (Ouelette) Caron
(ED 2716:495). Her husband was Leon Jean Caron {1898-1980) who was born
in Salem. When Leon was a toddler (1900) his father, Arthur, worked as a
machinist (per census) and the family resided at 35 Lawrence Street. Leon had a
brother, Lionel, and sisters Odile and Marie. He would grow up in Salem and
learn the trade of a house carpenter. In 1926, evidently, he and Marie Jeanne
Ouelette were wed.
Mrs. Marie Jeanne Caron died in 1929, at thirty, leaving her husband, Leon, with
the care of sons Thomas, two, and Alfred, a newborn. Leon's grief may
5
�be imagined. He moved in with his parents (Arthur Caron and Alma Michaud of
Lawrence Street).
The house at 13½ Meadow was rented out for several years. In 1935 the tenant
was Louis Claise, a salesman at the Pelletier Shade Shop; he resided here with his
wife Laura and perhaps children (per 1935 Directory).
Leon J. Caron remarried, and in 1939 his wife Yvonne A. Ouelette (1895- 1990) gave
birth to a daughter, whom they named Catherine. The Carons were then residing here
(13½); and in 1940 (per census): Leon J. Caron, 42, Yvonne, 45, Thomas, 13, Alfred,
11, and Catherine, one. Next door (#15) lived old Miss Margaret Mccusker, 80, the
sister of Mrs. Mary Banks who had lived here many years before.
In September, 1941, the Carons sold a small slice of land on the west side of the lot to
James Banks and Sarah (Banks) Regan, who evidently had inherited or acquired #15
(ED 3277:346, also 345-6).
In July, 1950, Leon J. Caron became the owner of the property here, which had
technically been owned by his two sons as heirs of his deceased wife Marie
Jeanne (ED 3754:165, also 3658:136,137,275-6, and 3754:164).
In February, 1955, Leon & Yvonne Caron sold the premises to Leo & Rita
Turgeon (ED 4141:340).
The two houses and land were sold as follows:
1961 Turgeons to Pelletiers
1985 Pelletiers to Pelletiers
1986 Pelletiers to Romanovitz
1994 Romanovitz to Simonson
2015 Simonson & Tulle to Salem Residential Rental Properties LLP.
The latter sold the two houses separately as condominiums.
