History of Occupants & Owners
25 Charles Street, Salem
By Robert Booth, August 2017
According to available evidence, the earliest part of this house was the
flagman's shanty, so called, built in 1905 by the Boston & Maine Railroad,
and situated at the Loring Avenue railroad crossing, near the present
intersection with Raymond Road (see appended section of 1911 atlas). The
shanty was moved to this spot in 1935, evidently by the land owner, John H.
Devlin, and was first occupied by Arthur M. Alley, proprietor of a nearby
drug store, and his wife Martha (Wood) Alley. It is likely that this is the sole
surviving early railroad building in Salem, whose railroad history goes back
to 1836.
Stop, Look & Listen
Prior to the construction of this flagman's shanty, Salem had five other
railroad stations and related buildings, including one other flagman's shanty,
at the Lead Mills stop on Lafayette Street near the Marblehead line.
Flagmen were employed to conduct the trains through crowded areas and to
protect the contractor crews who worked on the rails and railbeds nearby.
Many flagmen also worked as switchmen. They worked day and night, and
used lanterns to stop or slow a train at a grade crossing. Obviously, they
needed a dry place to stay, and so the B&M Railroad provided what they
referred to as a "shanty". 1 The Naumkeag Directory, published yearly,
tracked the location of Salem's railroad buildings in a small section called
"Railroad Stations, B. & M. R.R." The "Loring Ave. (flag station)" first
appears in the 1906 directory, and regularly thereafter; it is absent in in 1905
and earlier.
The B&M Railroad, successor to the Salem-founded Eastern Railroad, had a
large presence in Salem from its inception in 1836. Over the years, it laid
miles of local track, some of it passing through the center of the city (and
passing in a tunnel under Washington Street). Its importance was
1
Shanty was the preferred and evidently official term-one finds it in the B&M Railroad Historical
Society records (reference to "shanty lantern" in hardware collection, etc.) and it is the term invariably
used in court records at the time. Smaller shanties were often called shacks. This was not a shack.
�symbolized by the large central station (built 1847) at the southerly foot of
Washington Street, with a granite fac;:adesurmounted by twin "Norman
Towers", as they were known. The railroad was especially busy in Salem c.
1900, as 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. The large-scale
manufacture of goods-leather, shoes, textile-required many workers.
French-Canadian families, from New Hampshire and Quebec, had moved in
to find work and begin a new life in Salem.
By 1900 Salem's cotton-cloth mills at the Point employed more than 1500
people who produced about 20 million yards annually. The city's large shoe
factories stood downtown behind the stone depot and on Dodge and
Lafayette Streets and off Jefferson Avenue. Salem factories also produced
lead, paint, and oil. At the Bridge Street yard of the B&M Railroad
(absorbed the Eastern Railroad in 1883), cars were repaired and built new.
The gas works occupied a site on Bridge Street, 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 famous inner harbor (South River), too, with its epicenter at
Central Street, disappeared under the pavement of now-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 by trolley to do their shopping; and
its handsome government buildings, as befit the county seat, were busy with
conveyances ofland, lawsuits, and probate proceedings. The city's politics
were lively, and its economy was strong.
2
�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 eastward out of
control, 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. The
flagman's shanty at Loring Avenue was well away from the path of the fire,
which 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. Despite the combined efforts of
fire crews from many towns and cities, the fire overwhelmed everything in
its path: it smashed into the large factory buildings of the N aumkeag Steam
Cotton Company (Congress Street) and it rolled down Lafayette Street and
across the water to Derby Street. There, just beyond Union Street, after a 13hour 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 Salem would take
years to recover from it. The B&M Railroad played a large part in bringing
relief to the people of Salem and many tons of materials for its
reconstruction. Eventually, 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.
In a 1916 photo of the shanty in situ at Loring Avenue, we see the
distinctive tripart bay window that is still visible on the driveway side of the
house today, as well as the deep cornice and the hip roof over the open
porch, which would be enclosed at Charles Street and now contains a pair of
bedrooms. The exterior door was centered in the elevation of its main room
and facing the railroad track with the sign "Loring Ave." over the door (see
1916 photo appended). The shanty had one large main room under a pitch
roof, a small back room out back under a sloping shed or flat roof, and an
open porch under a hip roof joined into the pitch roof. It was pretty spacious
for its purpose of giving shelter to the railroad flagman who guarded the
crossing not far from Charles Street.
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, weathered the long storm, thanks in part to the continued
3
�manufacturing at Parker Brothers and Pequot Mills (formerly Naumkeag
Steam Cotton Co.), and the strong retailing presence of downtown
department stores and specialty stores.
In 1935, evidently, the flagman's shanty was considered unnecessary to the
railroad operation (probably the flagman's function had been replaced by
automated signals and crossing barriers). The building was available; and
the owner of this lot on Charles Street, John H. Devlin, evidently acquired it
and had it moved here, pretty much intact. Mr. Devlin had bought the lot,
fronting 75' on Charles and Street and running back 80', in 1915 from the
Almy heirs (ED 2289:202). The land consisted of Lot 36 and the southwest
half of Lot 37 as platted in the 1896 subdivision of the Derby Estate, which
had once been an extensive gentleman's farm in South Salem. At its new
home on Charles Street, with a new identity as a dwelling, the house had a
number, 15, affixed next to the front door, formerly the exterior door of the
shanty.
At some point, probably in two separate builds, a long living room was
extended to the southwest, allowing for a new entrance facing the street (as
today). This room has two floor levels; the southwest part is "sunken."
Behind (to the southeast of) that ell, a chimney and new room were added
by (and during the occupancy of) the mason Dewey Pearson, who laid up
the rear exterior wall in brick running the full length to the northeast end of
the house and creating thereby a second rear room. This rear section is
concealed from the street (and the driveway) by a gate and privet hedge and
it faces into a snug side yard and steep rock garden. In the summer of 1975,
the then-owners, Charles & Phyllis Honsberger, added two bedrooms at the
second floor (see Salem Building Inspector card for "15 Charles Street"),
reached by a new staircase from the main rear room added by Mr. Pearson,
who also built a massive second chimney ascending the mid-point of the
rear wall. This completed the major additions to the original "shanty"
portion of the house, which has been further embellished and altered by the
present owner, Dennis M. Uram, during his forty years here, most of them
with his late wife Elaine.
The earliest known occupants of the house on Charles Street were Martha
(Wood) Alley (1883-1961) and husband Arthur M. Alley (1884-1961). Mr.
Alley, a native of Ellsworth, Maine, moved to Newburyport, Mass., by the
19teens and there ran his own drug store. For some years he rented rooms at
164 High Street (home of Alice Homer). In February, 1916, he joined St.
John's Masonic Lodge at Newburyport; and in September, 1918 he
registered for the draft at the end of World War One: at 34, he was self-
4
�employed as a druggist. He stayed in Newburyport into the 1930s,
unmarried until December, 1934, when he and Martha E. Wood were wed.
By 1935 Mr. Alley, 51, had moved to Salem and opened the Alley Drug
Store at now-335 Lafayette Street (comer ofWest). He and Martha in 1935
they were listed in the city directory at 15 Charles Street, the first time a
house is designated at that number. It would remain #15 into the 1980s.
From 1935 to 1941 (per directories etc.) the Alleys resided here and Mr.
Alley ran his store; but in 1942, when he (at 59) again registered for military
service, they moved to Ellsworth, Maine. There they would reside until their
deaths in 1961.
The new tenant, evidently as of 1942, was Mrs. Mary Alice (Sullivan) Shea,
known as Mae. In 1940 she, 47, working as a government telephone
operator, was estranged from her husband John H. Shea Jr. (1893-1951 ), a
Salem cable-splicer and veteran of WWI. He would end up in Camden, NJ.
Mrs. Shea resided here in 1942 with her three daughters, Mary G., 21,
Constance E., 18, and Joan, 14. Mary would marry Mr. Herlihy and Joan
would marry Mr. Cross. The Sheas resided here as a family for many years.
Constance was graduated from Salem High in 1942 and enlisted in the
WAVES but was discharged (see her high school photo, appended). In
October, 1944, Mary E. Devlin, owner of the property, sold the same to
Lucy Schneider and husband Benjamin, of Salem (ED 3386:65). It was
bounded as before. The Schneiders rented it to the Sheas for income.
By 1946 Constance E. Shea was married to a mason, Dewey W. Pearson
(1924-1999), and they resided here with her mother Mae Shea and her sister
Joan. The Pearsons saved their money and in November, 1946, Constance E.
(Shea) Pearson bought this homestead from the Schneiders (ED 3499:266).
She would own the premises for the next 22 years. The Pearsons sometimes
lived in Hamilton too, where they had a house (perhaps a summer house) on
Asbury Street starting in 1947 (per land records and directory). The SheaPearson family likely added the present double living room on the southwest
of the house, as a dining room and a living room. Perhaps somewhat later,
they added the back rooms and chimneys (3 fireplaces), with brickwork by
Mr. Pearson, who ran his masonry business from this address (per
directories). In 1955 the Pearsons sold their Hamilton property (ED
4158:110).
Mrs. Mae Shea evidently died or moved away in 1958-9 (not listed in
directory). In 1959, Mr. Pearson opened a store at 121 Boston Street,
Pearson's Hardware & Supplies; but he soon closed it and resumed
5
�bricklaying (per directories). He was of Salem in 1962 when he bought
property on Rubbly Hill Road in Beverly, which they would sell in 1965
(ED 5014: 114). In July, 1964, the Pearsons bought the garage and land to
the southwest of their homestead at #15 (ED 5192:477). In August, 1965,
Dewey Pearson took out a permit to have a swimming pool built here (see
card at city Building Inspector office); and in December, 1967, the Pearsons,
of Salem, sold the garage lot to the southwest (ED 5499:496). In 1967 the
Pearsons moved to Hamilton and in 1968 they moved to West Andover.
They returned to Hamilton and resided there for years before moving to
Florida, where their lives ended. Dewey W. Pearson would die on Nov. 23,
1999, aged 75, having survived Constance (died Nov. 27, 1994) by five
years. Their remains were interred at Keystone Heights Cemetery in Clay
County, Florida.
In October, 1968, Constance E. Pearson sold the homestead to Charles K.
and wife Phyllis Honsberger of Dundee, New York (ED 5561:789). They
moved to Salem, and Mr. Honsberger worked as a production manager for
General Electric in Lynn. In July, 1975, Mr. H. took out a permit and had
contractors add two second-story bedrooms to the house. Three years later,
due to a job transfer, the Honsbergers moved from Salem and on June 21,
1978, the homestead was sold to Dennis M. and wife Elaine Uram, then of
Billerica (ED 6483 :555). They had looked at more than thirty properties
before buying this one.
Dennis Uram, a native of Butler County, Pennsylvania, is now retired; for
most of his career he worked as a field service engineer. Educated at a
Pennsylvania State University program at McKeesport, and trained in
engineering and electronics in the US Army (1968-1971), he moved to
Lynn, Mass., to maintain and optimize equipment in the food packaging
business. His wife, Elaine, had experience in the restaurant business in
Pennsylvania. Eventually they moved to Billerica; however, finding it too
rural, they decided to move back to a spot near the sea. After the extensive
house hunt (ending in the purchase of #25), Elaine was invited to enter the
real estate business, which she did; and eventually she opened an office in
Lynn. Elaine died seven years ago.
After 39 years on Charles Street, Dennis Uram is a key member of the
community. In retirement, he leads an active life and (among other things)
enjoys bicycling and bike racing and participating Salem Explorers
continuing education association. Over the years, he has made many
changes and improvements to the house, about which he knew that the
earliest part had been moved from its original spot on Loring Avenue (he
6
�provided the pictures of the shanty in situ). Among many other changes, he
designed the front entry portico and had it built by Tim Rowe (a carpenter
since moved to Maine), who also executed Dennis' s designs for the oak trim
found throughout the living room. Aware of the building's railroad pedigree,
Dennis decided to give the exterior cornice some brackets, which he
designed and then fabricated on a jigsaw and installed himself, and painted
in complement to the pink-and green color scheme of the house. At the base
of each bracket, he stenciled in a pair of jleur de !is in honor of the area's
French Canadian heritage. Dennis has added window boxes as well, and
grows kale in the rock garden above the rear of the house. Two college
students currently board in the house, which, in every room and from every
angle, expresses the personality of its owner.

4 Carpenter Street is a 2 1/2-story dwelling oriented with its narrow end to the street and its principal elevation facing north.
The building is sheathed in aluminum siding and capped by a flared gambrel roof which displays projecting eaves and cornice
returns and is covered with asphalt shingles. The foundation consists o f uncut stones. The north facade is two bays wide.
Projecting from the eastern bay on the facade is a single-story entrance porch supported by paired Roman Doric columns.
There is a wooden deck and stairs and the simple stick balustrade has an inset central diamond. The two-part door is flanked
by leaded sidelights. Windows primarily contain 6/6 sash with molded surrounds, exterior storm windows and shutters.
Centered in the gable is a tripartite window consisting of a 6/6 sash flanked by two narrow 2/2 sash. T w o pedimented
dormers rise from the north slope. Offset to the southeast is a two-story wing.
The house is set back slightly from the sidewalk with a narrow margin of hedges and plantings along the sidewalk.
HISTORICAL
NARRATIVE
Describe the history of the building. Explain its associations with local (or state) history. Include uses of the building
the role(s) the owners/occupants played within the community.
and
According to the previous 1975 survey form for this property, this house was constructed about 1905 according to designs by
local architect, Ernest Machado. Based on interior evidence including the location o f the fireplace, the present owner of the
house believes that the house was built on the site of an earlier dwelling although this could not be verified. Sanborn maps
indicate that there was no building on this site in 1890 although a house is present by 1906. The 1905 City Valuation
indicates that the land was vacant and owned by Jennie Emmerton. The house was apparently constructed shortly thereafter
for Francis W . Nichols who had an antiques store at 67 North Street. The Nichols family continued to own the property until
the 1950s; the last family member to liver here was Millicent Nichols. The property has had numerous occupants since that
time and served as a multiple dwelling for some time. It has now reverted to single-family use.

�Owners & Occupants
21½ Buffum Street, Salem
By Robert Booth, Public History Services Inc., December 2019.
According to available evidence, this house was built in 1905 for John
Broadley, tannery owner.
In October, 1898, John Broadley bought from Christopher McGrane "a certain lot
of land" with buildings, bounded n.e. on Buffum Street, n.w. on land of Buffum,
s.w. on land of Mayo, and s.e. on land of Hanson (ED 1558:419). The 1897 atlas
of Salem shows the footprint of only one house on this lot-the one now #23, plus a
small shed. This house (#21½) would be built between 1905 and 1906 in the rear
of that lot, which was empty in 1897. Prior to 1906, the Salem directories have no
listing for a house in this location; starting in 1906, the directories do show a house
here at 21½.
John Broadley (1867-1907) was born in the Wyoma section of Lynn, the son of
Hugh Broadley and Johannah Keefe.
In 1860 in Salem (per census, h. 389) Hugh Broadley, 33, born in England, was
working as an engraver and residing in the house of John Jones, 45, also born in
England, a cotton printer. They worked in a textile factory, perhaps together, Hugh
engraving the patterns and John printing them onto the fabric.
Hugh Broadley came from a textile-printing family (info from Internet source). He
was born 1826 in Great Harwood, a small town in Lancashire, England, the son of
John Broadley & Maria Ryding. His father, John, was a block-printer of textiles
and later a fabrics dealer. Hugh was apprenticed to a calico engraver in Enfield,
England; and in 1850 he left for America. As we have seen, he was living in Lynn
by 1860; and on Dec. 24, Christmas Eve, of that year Hugh, 35, married Johannah
(Hannah) Keefe, 34, born in Ireland. By 1865 the couple and two children were
living in South Danvers (soon to be renamed Peabody), where (per census, h.
124) they resided in a house also occupied by the family of George Orr, 56, an
Englishman working as a cloth printer. Hugh was then described as 39, an
engraver, with wife Hannah, 38, and children Maria, 3, and John, one. In the
1860s Hugh changed his specialty from textile engraving to leather engraving,
much in demand in Salem.
In March, 1867, Hugh Broadley for $1300 purchased a house and land on
Phillips Street in Salem, and the family moved in. In 1870 (per census) the
�Broadleys rented out part of the house to tenants, Joseph Tomlinson, 29, an
English-born engineer, and His wife and three children, while the Broadleys
occupied the rest: Hugh, 44, machinist, wife Hannah, 43, and children Maria, 9,
John, 7, and Mary E., five.
John Broadley and his two sisters would grow up in this general
neighborhood, above Harmony Grove and Mack Park.
Salem, formerly an important seaport, had become a manufacturing center by
the 1870s. 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 continued to prosper in the 1870s, carried forward by 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 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 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 1880 (per census, h. 102), the Broadley family, on Phillips Street, consisted of
Hugh, 54, "engraver for pebbling leather," Hannah, 50, daughter Maria 18,
working at shoe stitching in a factory, Mary E., 14, at school, and John, 16,
2
�working "at tanning." In fact, John Broadley was learning the trade of a
leather-engraver from his father-but he was also paying attention to the big picture
of leather-manufacture. Much later, in an August, 1921, issue of "Hide and Leather
News" trade magazine, there appeared a brief piece on the "The Broadley Rolls"
from an old tanner who recalled watching Hugh cut steel rolls by hand. "He cut a
pebble grain on them and tanners used them to give that effect to their leather."
His son John "cut pebble, seal, alligator, and other fancy grains on the rolls."
The family would remain intact for the next ten years, during which John
Broadley advanced in his trade as an engraver and tanner of leather.
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.
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, whith 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 lumber-yards. Only a canal was left,
running in from Derby and Central Wharves to Lafayette Street.
3
�On Nov. 4, 1890, Hugh Broadley died of Bright's disease, in his 55th year. He left
Hannah, 63, and their three grown children. John took over, and conducted
pebble roll cutting in 1893 from the home on Phillips Street.
In February, 1893, John Broadley, 29, engraver, married Harriet E. White, 24, a
native of New Brunswick, Canada. By 1895 (per directory) the couple resided at
then-13 Mason Street, and John was working as a pebble roll cutter at 19
Goodhue St. John & Harriet would have five children, 1893-1902. By 1897 (per
directory) they resided at 11 Tremont Street, and John had started the Salem
Shoe Stock Company, situated at 63 Flint Street, soon to be relocated to Mason
Street.
As mentioned, John Broadley purchased the house at 23 Buffum Street in
1898, to serve as the family residence.
By 1900 (per census), the family was fragmenting: Harriet, 31 resided at then-28
Grove Street with children Edith, 5, Francis, one, and infant George, while John,
37, listed as an engraver, resided at #23 Buffum with son John H., 7, housekeeper
Elizabeth Whitmore, 31, a widow, and boarder Michael Bellew, 23, a teamster.
Meanwhile, John's mother, Hannah, was residing at 15 Phillips with her daughters
Maria, 38, a shoe stitcher by trade, and Mary E. (Broadley) Sullivan, 35, a widow,
with daughter Helen F. Sullivan, 12. John & Harriet had a last child, Charles V.,
born in June, 1902.
In July, 1902, John's mother, Johannah (Keefe) Broadley, died of heart
disease, aged 65 years.
John operated the Salem Shoe Stock Co. and founded the Broadley Leather
Co., with factories at then-67 and 69 Mason Street. Although the business
prospered, things turned tragic in the family. In 1903, Harriet moved to Danvers,
where she would be an inmate at Danvers State Hospital asylum
. (per 1910 census). On July 12, 1905, their son John H. Broadley was killed in an
electric-trolley accident in Salem, three days before his 12th birthday.
John Broadley remained in Salem, attending to his businesses and his children
evidently. In the 1905 City Valuation, John Broadley, newly residing at 162 North
Street, was assessed for various real estate holdings (ward 6, p. 95). In the 1906
City Valuation (ward 6, precinct 11, p. 95), John Broadley, 162 North, was
assessed for real estate including the house at 23 Buffum (valued at $1600) and,
newly, at "house, rear 23 Buffum" (valued at $1800). At 162 North Street he
evidently resided with his sister Maria and some or all of his children. While in
Somerville, on May 16, 1907, John Broadley, fifty, was killed in a car crash.
4
�In 1910 Mrs. Mary E. Sullivan was residing at 23 Buffum, working as the
bookkeeper of the Salem Shoe Stock Co., assisted by her daughter Helen
(stenographer) and by Edward Curran, who superintended the operation and
boarded at #23. At the same time, Maria Broadley, 48, resided at then-162 North
Street with two of her Broadley nephews, George, 10, and Charles, 7 (1910
census, h. 280). Charles would be sent to the Lowell Textile School, from which he
would graduate, with distinction. Mrs. Sullivan and Mr. Curran would run the
Broadley tannery into the 1930s.
The new (1905) house at 21½ Buffum remained in the family and was leased out.
In 1906 the tenants were Walter Stuart Frisbee, thirty, a bank clerk working in
Boston, and Alice M. (Leighton) Frisbee, 34, a Salem school teacher. They had
married on April 12, 1906.
Alice was the daughter of Engllsh immigrants, Thomas and Ann Maria Leighton,
who had come to Salem in 1870 from Britain with a family of three children, to
which a fourth (Henry) was added soon after arrival. By trade Thomas was a
"morocco dresser," a specialty of leather-making. In 1880 the Leighton family
(now including Alice, 8, and Emily, 6) resided at then-14 Ord Street, near the
Peabody Line. By 1900 they resided at then-10 Mason Street, Thomas, 62, still
working as a morocco dresser, Henry, 30, as a store clerk, and Alice, 28, and
Emily, 26, as school teachers (per 1900 census, h. 337)
Walter S. Frisbee was born in Salem in 1876, the last of five children of Andrew
Frisbee, a Maine-born shipwright and spar-builder, and his wife Abby (nee
Burnham). In 1880 the Andrew Frisbees had resided at then-33 Turner Street, and
he had a shop at Hunt's Wharf.
Walter and Alice would have no children.
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 surround_ing 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
5
�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, 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 dona~ions from all over the country and the
world. It was one ofthe 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 1915 Walter Frisbee had become a construction engineer for a Boston
bridge-building firm. On March 21, 1916, Mrs. Alice (Leighton) Frisbee died.
Walter moved to then-25 Dearborn Street, and later to 32 Fairmount Street. He
married again; and he and Florence had a daughter, Janet, born in 1921. By 1930
the family resided in Hamilton and Mr. Frisbee was prospering in the business of
"bridge works" (1930 census, Hamilton, h. 388).
The John Broadley heirs still owned the two houses here on Buffum Street. In
March, 1920, Edith Broadley sold her one-fourth interest to her brother Francis J.
of Boston (ED 2441:558). In April, 1921, he sold his half-interest to his aunt, Mrs.
Mary E. Sullivan (ED 2485:499). She bought out George H. Broadley, of Salem, in
May, 1923 (ED 2552:579). In May, 1925, Charles V. Broadley sold his interest to
'Mrs. Sullivan, who thus became sole owner of the premises (ED 2640:571),
which she would remain for many years.
Salem was once again a thriving city; and its tercentenary in 1926 was a time of
great celebration.
In 1926 and perhaps before, this house was occupied by August Wagner and
family. He was a German-born dealer in dry goods. He had married Sarah E.
Swett; and they had one child, Otto Swett Wagner, born in 1897 in Lawrence and
raised in Salem. Otto was a smart boy, and went from Salem High School to
Harvard College (A.B. 1920, A.M. 1921). In 1918, during World War One, he
enrolled in the Navy Reserve and then in the Army as an infantry private.
6
�The war ended before he was deployed, and he resumed his studies at Harvard in
1919. Otto chose teaching as his profession, and resided here with his parents.
August died in 1929 or 1930, aged 64; in 1930 his widow, Sarah, 63, resided here
with her son Otto, 33; and they had moved by 1931. Otto, a high school teacher in
Amesbury, would marry Mildred Woodard and live on until 1960.
In 1931, the house was vacant, at least for a while (per directory). By 1934 (per
directory) the occupants here were E. Parker Hopkins, an insurance agent,
wife Marjorie, and whatever children they may have had.
The Great Depression continued through the 1930s. Salem, the county seat
and regional retail center, gr.adually rebounded.
By 1940 the occupants here were Earl G. Pauley, in the leather business, and
wife Evelyn, 34, both recently arrived from Shirley, Mass. (per census).
After World War II, Salem prospered 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 June, 1947, Mrs. Mary E. (Broadley) Sullivan having died, the devisee under
her will, Edward J. Curran (the longtime superintendent of the Broadley tannery),
conveyed the two houses and land to himself and Mary's daughter, Helen F.
Sullivan (ED 3555:417,417).
In 1979, the devisees/heirs of Helen and/or Edward, Herbert & Grace Hill,
subdivided the lot and sold the two houses separately. To Charlene D. Long
went the house at 21½ and its land (Lot 2) in May, 1979 (ED 6596:280).

�1-3 Ocean Ter., Circa 2021
1-3 Ocean Terrace is a wood-frame building that is listed as a 'Garden Condo' that
was built in approximately 1905. It is in a picturesque, residential neighborhood of
Salem and only a short walk to the water. The street itself is a quiet, tree-lined road
that is primarily residential. The houses on Ocean Avenue are typical of the New
England style, with many featuring clapboard siding, shutters, and white picket
fences. The neighborhood is known for its historic architecture, and many of the
homes date back to the 19th century. The home is very close to Forest River Park,
Salem State University, and two of the locations used in the contemporary film
"Hocus Pocus."
�4 Ocean Ave. - "Max's House in Hocus Pocus"
House in Pioneer Village - Used as
Background in "Hocus Pocus"
Just around the corner from 1-3 Ocean Terrace you'll find 4 Ocean Avenue. In the
movie, the house is the home of Max and Dani Dennison and their parents, who
have recently moved to Salem from California. The exterior of the house is a
classic New England-style home, with lovely waterfront views of the harbor. The
house is used throughout the movie as the main setting for the children's
adventures as they try to thwart the plans of the Sanderson sisters.
The house was originally built in the mid-1800s and has undergone some
renovations over the years. It is a private residence and is not open to the public.
However, fans of the movie can still visit the exterior of the house to see where
some of their favorite scenes were filmed.
Another close by location is Pioneer Village, located within Forest River Park. The
park was used as a backdrop for the early settings of the movie from when the
Sanderson sisters had been alive. This is primarily in the scene where Binks is
running around looking for his sister.
Forest River Park has a rich history that dates back to the early 20th century. The
land that the park now occupies was originally part of a large estate owned by a
wealthy Salem family, but it was eventually sold to the city of Salem in the early
1900s for use as a public park. In the months after the Great Salem Fire of June
1914, 1400 people lived in tents in the park, before they could return ton their
normal lives.
In the decades that followed, the park underwent numerous changes and
improvements. In the 1930s, the Civilian Conservation Corps, a federal program
created to provide jobs during the Great Depression, built many of the park's
recreational facilities, including the picnic areas, baseball field, and tennis courts.
During World War II, the park was used as a training ground for the US Army,
and many of the park's facilities were repurposed for military use. After the war,
the park was returned to civilian use and was extensively renovated and updated.

�Salem State University, located in Salem, Massachusetts, is a public university founded in 1854
as Salem Normal School, a teacher-training institution. The school was established to provide
education and training for teachers in the area, in response to a growing demand for welleducated teachers in the region.
In the early years, the school was located in various locations throughout Salem, including a
rented building on Summer Street and a former hotel on Broad Street. In 1857, the school
moved to its current location on Lafayette Street.
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the school's curriculum expanded to include more
general education courses, and the school's name was changed to Salem Normal School and
State Teachers College. In 1932, the school was renamed again as Salem Teachers College, and
it began to offer bachelor's degrees in education.
In the 1960s and 1970s, Salem State began to expand its curriculum and to offer more liberal
arts and sciences programs. In 1972, the school was renamed Salem State College and began to
offer graduate programs.
In 2010, the school was renamed Salem State University, reflecting its status as a
comprehensive, public university. Today, Salem State offers undergraduate and graduate
programs in a wide range of disciplines, including education, business, the liberal arts, and the
sciences. The university has a diverse student population of around 10,000 students and it is
considered one of the most prestigious institutions in the area.
Salem State University has played an important role in the education and development of the
North Shore region and the state of Massachusetts, and it continues to be a major educational
institution in the area.
�Boats in Salem Harbor
Although nowhere in Salem is very far from water, 1-3 Ocean Terrace is steps away from the
waterfront. Salem Harbor is an historic and important area in Salem, Massachusetts. The
harbor has a long and rich history dating back to the 17th century when Salem was an
important port city and a center of trade and commerce.
One of the most interesting things about Salem Harbor is its association with the maritime
industry. During the 18th and 19th centuries, Salem was a major shipbuilding center, and
the harbor was home to many shipyards and sail lofts. Many of the ships built in Salem
were used for trade with the East and for the whaling industry. Salem's maritime history is
well-preserved at the Salem Maritime National Historic Site, which is located in the harbor.
Another interesting aspect of Salem Harbor is its role in the China trade. In the late 18th
and early 19th centuries, Salem was a major center of the trade with China, and many of the
ships that sailed to China and the East left from the harbor. The China trade brought
prosperity to Salem, and many of the city's grandest homes and buildings were built during
this time.
The harbor is also home to a number of interesting historical sites and landmarks,
including the Custom House and the East India Marine Hall, both of which are part of the
Salem Maritime National Historic Site.
In addition to its historical significance, Salem Harbor is also a popular spot for recreational
activities such as boating, fishing and simply enjoying the view of the ocean. The harbor is
also home to a number of restaurants and shops that are popular with tourists and locals
alike.
�Salem, Massachusetts was founded in 1626 by a group of fishermen from Cape
Ann led by Roger Conant. The area was initially known as Naumkeag and was
part of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. In the early years, Salem's economy was
primarily based on fishing and agriculture.
During the 17th century, Salem became an important center of trade and
commerce. Its location on the coast made it a convenient port for ships sailing
between Europe and the New World. In 1643, Salem was granted a charter and
officially incorporated as a town.
In the 18th century, Salem's economy began to diversify. The town became
known for its shipbuilding industry and for the production of textiles,
particularly wool. Salem also played a significant role in the American
Revolution, with many of its residents serving in the Continental Army.
In the 19th century, Salem's economy shifted again, this time towards
manufacturing. The town was home to numerous factories, including the
Naumkeag Steam Cotton Company, which was one of the largest cotton mills in
the country. Salem also became a center of the China trade, with many ships
leaving the port to trade with China and the East.
In the early 20th century, Salem's economy began to decline as manufacturing
moved elsewhere. The town also suffered from a series of devastating fires,
including the Great Salem Fire of 1914, which destroyed much of the downtown
area. In the 1930s, the city underwent a period of urban renewal, with many of
the older buildings being demolished to make way for new construction.
By 1950, Salem had transformed from a bustling commercial and industrial
center to a quieter, more residential community. The town's economy had shifted
towards service industries, with many residents working in retail, healthcare, and
education. Today, Salem is known for its rich history and for its many historical
sites, including the Salem Witch Trials Memorial and the Salem Maritime
National Historic Site.
�Something that occurred not long after 1-3 Ocean
Terrace was built was a citywide fire. The Salem Fire of
1914 was a devastating fire that occurred in Salem,
Massachusetts on June 25, 1914. The fire started in the
early morning and quickly spread, destroying much of
the downtown area. The fire was caused by a spark
from a passing trolley that set fire to a wooden building
on Washington Street.
It is unclear whether the houses on Ocean Terrace were
directly affected the inferno. While the fire primarily
destroyed the downtown commercial district of Salem,
which was located several miles away from the Ocean
Terrace neighborhood., it came within blocks of
property.
The fire spread quickly, fueled by strong winds and the many wooden buildings in the area.
Despite the efforts of the city's fire department, the fire soon grew out of control, and by the time it
was finally brought under control, much of the city's downtown area had been destroyed. The fire
caused significant damage to many of the city's factories and mills, which were major employers in
the area. As a result, many workers may have lost their jobs, which could have impacted their
ability to pay rent or mortgages on their homes.
Over 1,400 buildings were destroyed in the fire, including many homes, businesses, and public
buildings. The loss of property was estimated at around $10 million, which was a huge amount of
money for that time. Many residents were left homeless and without jobs, as the fire destroyed
much of the city's commercial and industrial center.
The Salem Fire of 1914 was a major disaster for the city, and it had a significant impact on the
city's economy and population. However, the city quickly began to rebuild and recover, and the
downtown area was soon rebuilt with more fire-resistant materials.
The event was a turning point in the city's history, and it marked the beginning of a new era of
modernization and urban renewal. The fire also led to the development of new building codes and
regulations, which helped to ensure that similar fires would not happen in the future.

�Dr. Armand Mignault was a physician who practiced in Salem, Massachusetts in the late 19th
century and early 20th century. He was a member of several professional organizations,
including the Massachusetts Medical Society and the American Medical Association.
In addition to his medical practice, Dr. Mignault was involved in civic and community affairs
in Salem. He served as a member of the Salem Board of Health and was active in local
Republican Party politics.
In November 1897, Dr. Mignault married Rose-Alba Mathieu in Quebec, Canada. They did
have at least one child together, Edward Lucien (birth Nov. 24, 1898), but Dr. Mignault had
four sons total. Two of these sons lived in Salem. Not much is known about Rose-Alba, but her
birthday is listed as July 6th of 1866. This would have meant she would have given birth to
Edward later in her life. She was born in Saint-Barnabe-Sud, Canada.
Dr. Mignault's unique office hours were likely a reflection of his commitment to his medical
practice and his patients. His work as a physician and his membership in professional
organizations suggest that he was a dedicated and respected professional.
Unfortunately, Dr. Mignault was diagnosed with cancer and passed away on November 13,
1908, only a few months after his diagnosis. Prior to his death, he wrote a will leaving one dollar
each of his sons, and the remainder of his estate to his wife, Rose-Alba.
While not much is known about Dr. Mignault's personal life, his involvement in civic and
community affairs and his membership in professional organizations indicate that he was an
active and engaged member of the Salem community during his lifetime.
�Office Hours and Address
������Armand had a substantial amount of property that his widow divided up and sold
a few years after his death. Much of the property was sold to William and Annie
Goldman. They further divided the land up and sold the lot and building that
came to be known as 1-3 Ocean Terrace to Raymond H. Bacherman.
Raymond Harry Bacherman was born on March 16, 1884, in Russia. A multilingual
individual, Raymond spoke at least three languages, including his native Yiddish. In
search of a better life, he immigrated to the United States in 1904, followed by his
future wife, Florence C. Bacherman, in 1906. The couple married in 1908, and
together they began their new lives in America.
The reasons behind Raymond and Florence's decision to leave Russia remain
uncertain, but it is possible that the tumultuous political and social climate of the
time played a significant role. The early 20th century was marked by a series of
challenging events in Russia, including the Russo-Japanese War, widespread
famine, and the 1905 Revolution. These events not only impacted the economy but
also fueled social unrest and violence.
Marketplace of Shadova, c. 1900
Jewish families like the Bachermans faced increasing antisemitism in Russia
during this period. The majority of the Jewish population was segregated to a
region known as the Pale, with restrictions imposed under the 'May Laws.' This
hostile environment made it extremely difficult for Jewish individuals to settle
or conduct trade outside of designated areas.
In the face of escalating racial violence, many Jewish families sought refuge
in the United States, which likely influenced the Bachermans' decision to
immigrate. Although it does not seem that they ever lived at 1-3 Ocean
Terrace, by 1930, Raymond and Florence were residing in a rented home. It is
possible they were used as intermediaries in the purchase of the property.
Raymond initially owned a cigar shop but later transitioned to selling
casters.
�Raymond Harry Bacherman passed away in 1939, but his wife Florence continued to live until 1977. Their journey
from Russia to the United States exemplifies the perseverance and adaptability of countless immigrants who sought
better lives amidst challenging circumstances. The Bachermans' story is a testament to the resilience and
determination of those who faced adversity in pursuit of a brighter future.
����The next family to own the property where Albert and Annie Goldman, who also
happened to be a Jewish family that immigrated from Russia.
Albert Goldman was born on May 28, 1869, in Russia to Hyman and Bertha (also
known as Bessie) Goldman. He was a resourceful individual who found success in
the grocer and shirt-making business. His wife, Annie Collar, was born in 1871 in
Poland, which was then under Russian rule, to Levi and Eva Collar. Albert made his
journey to America in 1890, aboard the ship Caribbean, where he would later
become a naturalized citizen.
The couple set up home in the United States, joined by Albert's mother, Bertha. They
thrived in their new country, managing to employ a servant, Jennie Block, who also
hailed from Russia. Albert's hard work and entrepreneurial spirit extended beyond his
initial profession as he found success in real estate investments. Many properties
passed through his hands, often for a nominal fee of a dollar, although the exact
nature of these transactions remains a subject of speculation. It appears he was
providing safe havens to other Jewish families fleeing Russia, but this can not be
proven concretely.
Albert's American journey did not sever his ties with his homeland. Records indicate
he traveled back to Russia at least twice, reflecting his enduring connection to his
place of birth. His international travels and business acumen led him to be identified
as a merchant in several documents.
Annie Goldman, while industriously contributing to the family income by working in a
factory, experienced a traumatic event in 1905. When returning home very early one
morning, she was accosted by two men who threatened her with a handgun and stole
her purse. Despite the terrifying ordeal, her quick thinking led to the capture of the
assailants when she alerted a passing patrolman. Both men were sent to trail.
Together, Albert and Annie had two daughters, Queena Lena, affectionately known as
Queenie, born in 1895, and Ida, also known as Aida, born in 1896.
Ida went to college and at least finished her second year. Then she met and married
Simon Collier. Simon's parents had also immigrated from Russia. Ida did not need to
work after marriage, as Simon was a successful chemist. Unfortunately, he was employed
at an asbestos factory. They had one daughter named Vera and the family moved out of
state to live in Illinois.
�Queenie understood the value of hard work and the importance of community engagement.
From a young age, she showed a keen interest in music and quickly mastered the art of piano.
She would engage in performances that would also give people the chance to gather and
socialize with one another. She would continue her involvement and was an early member of
the Young Women’s Hebrew Association in Salem.
She met and married Samuel Freedman, who shared not only her values, but her parents as
well. He first worked in the tax industry and later stepped into law. He did well enough that
they had a number of maids over the years. Samuel shared his earnings with others and
supported both local immigrants and struggling Jewish communities overseas. They appear to
have had only one son, named Eli.
1-3 Ocean Terrace passed from Albert and Annie Goldman, to their daughter and son in law,
Queenie and Samuel Freedman, but once the two were married they did not live in the home,
and it was sold to Louise E. Adams in 1920.
Postcard, circa 1920
��������������Louise Adams was born in 1903. She had a son named William with her husband
John C. Adams. She was widowed early, and was raising her son on her own by the
time William was 4. Not much can be found about this family. We do know that she
offered the property out for rent sometimes, and that she placed the home in the
name of several members of her family, so when the home was sold in 1964 the
names William F. Adams, Ellener F. Story, Rena A. Parker, and Walter S. Adams are
the names on the deed. 1-3 Ocean Terrance was then sold to Adrien and Helen
Caron.
Salem Police Office Directing Traffic, circa 1960
In 1967, the home sold to Joseph and Rosalie Wodzenski, who held it until 1972. The
couple then sold it to Roger W. Hearne and Sparhawk Realty Trust. In 1979, 1-3 Ocean
Terrace was sold to Stewart A. Comer. In 1983 it was sold to Ronald A Marsilia, Robert
Marsilia and Atlantic Building Realty Trust. In 1990 the home was sold to Peter White and
Nancy Chatis, who then created a master deed for the property in 2002 and split the
property into condos.
