15 Beckford Street lies within the National Register’s Chestnut Street Historic District
and the City of Salem’s McIntire Historic District, an area traditionally associated with maritime
wealth and fine architecture. Although the streets of Salem west of Washington Street tend to be
newer than those east of Washington Street, Beckford Street is ancient, and in the seventeenth
and eighteenth centuries provided a route between the “high street” (modern-day Essex Street)
and the North River. According to Sidney Perley, “Beckford street was called a lane in 1657;
street or lane, 1677; street or highway, 1679; lane or highway that leads from ye main street to ye
north river, 1696; Beckford’s lane, 1773; Kitchen’s lane, 1783; Turner’s lane, 1793; and
Beckford street in 1797.”1
The ownership of the land upon which the house at 15 Beckford Street stands can be
traced back to the mid-seventeenth century. According to Perley, the land was owned by Thomas
Trusler in 1654; by Edward Phelps in 1655; by Thomas Robbins in 1657; and by Rebecca Pinson
in the 1690s. On January 11, 1699, Rebecca Pinson and her second husband, Joseph Boobier of
Marblehead, conveyed the land with a house and a barn (neither of which are extant today) for
thirty pounds to Rebecca’s daughter, Rebecca Beckford, wife of John Beckford of Marblehead.
On July 23, 1739, Rebecca and John conveyed the estate to their son, John Beckford Jr. of
Salem, shoreman. Perley’s map of Salem in 1780 shows the land belonging to Joseph Gavet
Sexton.2

In April of 1793, William Pickman, Esq. of Salem conveyed to Bartholomew Brown,
housewright, of Salem “a certain piece or lot of land situate in Salem aforesaid.” No buildings
are mentioned in the deed. Salem tax records indicate that in 1795, Brown was assessed for a
complete house valued at 600 pounds. This house was the original iteration of the one that stands
at 15 Beckford Street today.3
Built in the 1790s, the house is representative of the Federal style of American
architecture, and more specifically the “vernacular” Federal style. This style is typified by gabled
roofs and wooden frames, as opposed to the hipped roof, brick-construction mansions of the
same period lining Chestnut Street and surrounding Salem Common. According to the house’s
MACRIS inventory, the ell projecting to the south was added in 1878, and this is corroborated by
Salem street maps. In her original report on 15 Beckford Street produced for Historic Salem, Inc.
in 1973, researcher Sally Dee noted that the interior of the house indicates “that the original
south side was the front, with the familiar Federal Style symmetry of a central entrance and just
inside, a triple-run stair.”4
The house’s first owner, Bartholomew Brown, was born in Salem in July of 1721. His
son, Bartholomew Brown Jr., was baptised in Salem on January 27, 1751, and married Polly
Smith in 1798. On April 20, 1805, Bartholomew Brown Jr. purchased the Beckford Street estate

from his father. Unfortunately, he died on November 10th of the same year, aged fifty-four.
Bartholomew Brown Sr. passed away on February 14, 1812.5
On October 11, 1813, Edward Brown of Candia, New Hampshire, administrator of the
estate of Bartholomew Brown Sr., conveyed the house at 15 Beckford Street to William Dean,
merchant, of Salem. Less than two years later, Dean sold it to Joseph Gardner Jr., hairdresser, of
Salem. Gardner sold the house to Thomas Perkins, chairmaker, of Salem on October 1, 1823.
Twenty-three years later, Perkins conveyed it to clergyman Benjamin Brierly of Salem.6
Reverend Benjamin Brierly was ordained minister of the Second Baptist Church of Salem
in September of 1846. One can assume that the house he purchased in October of 1846 at 15
Beckford Street was a new home to accompany this new job. The Vital Records of Salem
indicate that Reverend Brierly welcomed a son in January of 1848. On August 25th of that year,
Brierly left his position as pastor of the Second Baptist Church. Massachusetts records reflect the
death of an infant named Benjamin A. Brierly, son of Benjamin Brierly and Frances M. Brierly,
on December 14, 1848. Three years later, Brierly sold his house, but he would not be the last
Baptist minister to live there.7
On April 1, 1851, Charles W. Farrington bought the house at 15 Beckford Street from
Reverend Brierly. Farrington was born to William & Mary Ward Farrington in Salem on April 8,

around the sea. In 1825, at the age of fifteen, he was a crew member aboard the brig Java of
Salem, bound for India. His height was listed as four feet, ten inches, and his complexion and
hair were both described as “light.” Farrington also appears on the following crew manifests8:

On June 3, 1841, Charles Farrington married Mary Jane Jelly, a Salem native born on
October 18, 1818 to William and Hannah Jelly. By the 1840s, Farrington was well established in
his maritime career, and on February 24, 1843, he joined the venerable Salem Marine Society,
established in 1766 and still in existence today. He served as the society’s clerk in 1868 and
1869.9
Mary Jane gave birth to a daughter named Annah McDonald Farrington on November 20,
1843. In 1850, Charles, aged 40, Mary Jane, aged 31, and Annah, aged 6, lived at 2 Ash Street in
Salem. That year’s United States Census lists Charles’s profession as “Master Mariner.” On
April 1, 1851, Charles Farrington purchased the house at 15 Beckford Street. The Farringtons
lived there until the last year of the American Civil War. For the remainder of their lives, Charles
and Mary Jane lived at 346 Essex Street. He died of “anemia” on August 11, 1869 and she died
of diabetes on September 22, 1887.10
William Wallis purchased 15 Beckford Street from the Farringtons on June 12, 1865.
Wallis was born in Salem on March 5, 1801 to Moses and Hannah Wallis of Ipswich. He married
Priscilla Blanchard on November 8, 1827. In 1850, Wallis lived at 11 North Street and his
profession was listed as secretary of the “Savings Bank” in that year’s Salem Directory. The
1855 directory lists him in the same profession, but living at 23 Summer Street. Wallis lived at
15 Beckford Street from 1865 until his death from “Chronic Bronchitis” on November 8, 1877.

He and his wife Priscilla, who died exactly six months before her husband on May 8, 1887, are
buried in Harmony Grove Cemetery in Salem.11
In his will, William Wallis bequeathed “the Estate wherein I now live, situate in said
Salem, consisting of the land and house and other buildings thereon, being numbered Fifteen on
Beckford Street” to the First Baptist Church of Salem “to be held in trust for a parsonage.”
Wallis left five hundred dollars to the pastor of First Baptist Church, Reverend George E.
Merrill, who would become the first resident of the church’s new parsonage at 15 Beckford
Street.12
Over three-quarters of a century, the house at 15 Beckford Street provided a home for a
succession of Baptist ministers, including George Merrill, Edwin P. Farnham, A. Blackburn,
Frederick W. Buis, and Ralph A. Sherwood. The house was only a short walk from the First
Baptist Church’s location at 56 Federal Street. Although the congregation relocated to Lafayette
Street in 2007, this nineteenth-century brick building still exists today, albeit 180 feet from its
original location; it was moved in 2009 to accommodate the J. Michael Ruane Judicial Center.
The structure, with portions dating to 1806, is Salem’s “earliest extant ecclesiastical building.”
Today it houses the Essex County Law Library.13

The Board of Directors of the First Baptist Church voted at their annual meeting in
January of 1952 to sell the parsonage at 15 Beckford Street. On June 11th of that year, the house
was conveyed to Clarence and Ada Hamilton. Ada Hamilton, now a widow, sold it to Peter and
Helena Copelas on May 14, 1959. Peter and Helena sold it to their son Peter Copelas Jr. and his
wife Barbara on March 12, 1962.14

According to research by Historic Salem, Inc., this house was constructed in 1795 for Bartholomew Browne, housewright.
Browne^purchased the land in 1793 from W i l l i a m Pickman. T a x records indicate that Browne was first assessed for a
complete house i n 1795. In 1805 Browne sold the house to his son, Bartholomew B r o w n Jr., also a housewright, for $2200.
| The property was acquired by Joseph Gardner, hairdresser, in 1815, who sold it to Thomas Perkins, chairmaker, in 1823. In
> 1846 Thomas Perkins sold the property for $2500 to Benjamin Brierly, clergyman. Charles Farrington, master mariner,
J purchased the house i n 1853 and sold it to W i l l i a m Wallis in 1865. Upon W a l l i s ' death in 1877, the house was bequeathed to
the First Baptist Church which used the house as a parsonage until 1952. Salem Street Books indicate that the building was
extended and improved in 1878. Later owners included A d a Hamilton (1952-1959) and the Copelas family (1959-?) (Dee
