2003, registered in book 10,376, page 394. The boundaries of the said property are the same
defined in the 11 Daniels Street Condominium Trust Master Deed. Helen Cichocki died August
20, 2002.
Helen Cichocki granted all right, title, and interest to 11 Daniels Street to Pamela A. Murphy and
Erin A. Murphy of Haverhill on March 6, 1990, “in consideration of $1 Love and Affection,” as
joint tenants with right of survivorship, but retaining full use of the property for her natural life.
The transfer was registered in book 10,376, page 394. The boundaries of the land are the same
sold by the Murphys to David Ring.
Joseph and Alice Cichocki, husband and wife, conveyed 11 Daniels Street to Joseph J. and
Helen Cichocki, husband and wife, on July 28, 1945, registered in book 3411, page 415. The
boundaries of the land are the same granted by Helen Cichocki to Pamela and Erin Murphy.

Frank F. Stanley of Swampscott, Trustee of the will of the late Nathaniel F. Goldsmith of Boston,
sold 11 Daniels Street to Wladsyslaw and Josephine Uszynski on November 30, 1920,
registered in book 2469, page 365. The land is defined as bound westerly by Daniels Street 97
feet; southerly by land of L.M. Wright and M.S. Frye, 102 feet; westerly by land of Sanborn and
Rideout, 106 feet; and northerly by land of Wiggin, 95 feet.
Salem Five Cents Savings Bank sold part of the property that became 11 Daniels Street to
Nathaniel F. Goldsmith on July 9, 1885, for $675.00, after George H. Frye defaulted on his
mortgage (see below), registered in book 1154, page 79. The land is defined as bound westerly
by Daniels Street 33 feet, 6.5 inches; southerly by the land of L.M. Wright and M.S. Frye, 102
feet, 6 inches; easterly by land of Sanborn and Rideout, 34 feet, 6 inches; and by land late of
Wiggin, now Goldsmith, 102 feet. The land had been conveyed to Goldsmith by George H. Frye
and Ezra L. Woodbury, excepting the property Goldsmith sold to A, Frank Hitchings.
Salem Five Cents Savings Bank foreclosed on George H. Frye’s mortgage on the property on
June 30, 1885, registered in book 1154, page 79.
Nathaniel F. Goldsmith sold part of the property he had purchased from Ezra L. Woodbury to A.
Frank Hitchings on June 6, 1883, for $750.00, registered in book 1110, page 31. This land was
bound southerly by Goldsmith’s own land; easterly by land of Rideout, northerly by Bentley
Street, and westerly by land of Smalley. This did not become part of the 11 Daniels Street lot.
George H. Frye mortgaged his property on Daniels Street to the Salem Five Cents Savings
Bank for $500.00 on October 19, 1882, registered in book 1093, page 260.
Ezra L. Woodbury, executor of the late Margaret Wiggin, sold the property at 9 Daniels Street,
including a “brick dwelling house and other buildings thereon,” to Nathaniel F. Goldsmith on
April 9, 1881, for $2800.00, registered in book 1055, page 172. The southerly portion of this
�land became part of the 11 Daniels Street lot, as shown above through Goldsmith’s sale of the
northerly portion to A. Frank Hitchings.
John N. Frye sold the same portion of land later mortgaged to the Salem Five Cents Savings
Bank to George Henry Frye, baker, on November 20, 1863, “with the buildings thereon,” for
$900.00, registered in book 658, page 286.
William Allen, mariner, and his wife Mary sold the property to John Nutton Frye, baker, on April
25, 1820, for $400.00, registered in book 223, page 247. The property was bound 33 feet, 6
inches by Daniels Street; 102 feet, 6 inches by the land formerly of Thomas Palfrey; 34 feet, 6
inches by Nathaniel Silsbee’s, formerly the orchard; and 58 feet, 2.5 inches by Peirce Wiggins’
property. As such, it is essentially the same land John N. Frye sold to George Henry Frye in
1863.
Susanna Richardson, widow, sold the property to William Allen on June 26, 1819, for $400.00,
registered in book 223, page 246. She signed the deed with her mark. Two months earlier,
Susanna Richardson conveyed another property on Hardy Street to William Allen “in
consideration of love affection and five dollars.” The property’s boundaries are the same that
William Allen sold to John N. Frye, and the deed states that the land was “assigned and set off
to Robert and Susanna Richardson under a warrant of partition” in 1807.
A committee of Richard Manning, John Harthorn [Hathorne] and John Osgood was appointed
upon the Court of Common Pleas’ determination in September 1806 that Susanna Richardson
should receive the right to “an undivided one-sixth of a dwelling house in said Salem commonly
called Graftons, and the garden and land thereunto belonging, including the northerly part of
what was formerly an orchard belonging to Warwick Palfrey.” The property was bound by
Daniels Street and land belonging to Joseph Waters, the late Samuel Silsbee, the late Rev.
James Deiman [Diman or Diamond], and the late Thomas Palfrey. The warrant was witnessed
by Timothy Pickering, Esq., on October 6, 1806. On December 24, 1806, the court divided
one-sixth of the “lands and tenements” to “said Richardson and Susanna his wife” and
described boundaries that match Susanna Richardson’s conveyance to William Allen. The
warrant is registered in book 181, page 235.
On March 31, 1789, an indenture was formed to create a “joint property with right of
survivorship” between Susanna, Mary, and Anne Grafton, singlewomen of Salem, and Jonathan
Gardner, merchant of Salem to act as Trustee. The property was left to Susanna, Mary, and
Anne by their deceased father, Joseph Grafton. The property described was large, with two
dwelling houses, and bordered Main [Essex] Street. Susanna Grafton may or may not be the
same person as Susanna Richardson. The creation of the trust was registered in book 149,
page 231.
On August 28, 1729, Joseph Grafton sold a parcel of land in Salem to “my brother William
Grafton sailmaker” for 130 pounds in Province Bills (Massachusetts currency), registered in
�book 52, page 82. The land was bound by “the lane of highway” and by land “formerly of Walter
Palfrey,” and included a house and barn. Without further research on the Grafton family and
their neighbors in the 18th century, it is not possible to know for sure whether part of this
property came down to Susanna Richardson and thus to the 11 Daniels Street plot.

�View of 14 Herbert Street, 1998 (MACRIS SAL.3865)
14 Herbert Street is a two-family, flat-roofed home built about 1912 by John S.
Boltrukiewicz and his family. The home replaced a circa 1874 single-family home that belonged
to Hannah Brick. The previous home was very similar to the adjacent 16 Herbert Street and was
likely built around the same time, possibly by the Brick family, who owned both plots of land.
In the early 20th century, the Historic Derby Street Neighborhood was predominantly
Polish. Attracted to job opportunities in the city’s mills and factories, Polish immigrants began
arriving in Salem around 1890 and by 1911, Poles comprised about 8% of the city’s overall
population. Religion played a strong role in the Polish community and as the number of Polish
Catholics in Salem grew, the need for a permanent house of worship became apparent. Herbert
Street and Union Street became the heart of the Polish Catholic presence in the city, housing St.
John the Baptist Church, a parochial school, convent, and rectory.

Reverend Joseph J. Czubek (1908-1910)
Joseph J. Czubek (1874-1940), was born on August 8, 1874 in Toledo, Ohio, one of five
children belonging to James and Mary (Nowak) Czubek. His parents immigrated to America from
the Province of Posen, an area of Prussia that became part of the German Empire in 1871.1 At
the age of 24, Joseph was ordained at a Polish Seminary in Detroit, Michigan.2
In 1901, Reverend Czubek was beckoned to Salem by Father Chmielewski of Boston, to
conduct mass in Polish. These services were given in the basement of an Irish parish, the Church

�of Immaculate Conception on Hawthorne Boulevard, (then Walnut Street.) Czubek was quickly
welcomed by Salem’s parishioners due to his support of the need to erect a Polish Catholic
church in the city. Reverend Czubek created and tasked a committee with raising over $2,000
needed to purchase and convert a dwelling into a new parish. Following the building’s
completion, Czubek was appointed the pastor of St. John the Baptist Polish Roman Catholic
Church, which held its first mass at 18-20 Herbert Street on July 3, 1903.3
Reverend Czubek continued expanding church, purchasing additional buildings on
Herbert Street and the surrounding area to house a school, rectory, and a convent.4 After only
three short years, the church building on Herbert Street had already become inadequate for the
growing number of parishioners. Czubek purchased a vacant, former Baptist Church on St. Peter
Street and assigned a committee to oversee the building’s restoration. The new church was
completed in 1909 and the former Herbert Street church was converted into additional
classrooms for the Polish parochial school, which had previously occupied the basement.
One of Czubek’s many purchases was 14 and 16 Herbert Street in 1908, at the cost of
$2,900. The two dwellings were sold to Czubek by Ellen Fitzgerald of Boston.5 The land and two
homes previously belonged to Hannah Brick, who likely built them.6 Czubek used the properties
to house the Felician Sisters, nuns who operated the church’s parochial school, until a convent
could be built on Union Street. 7
Reverend Czubek’s legacy was cemented on June 25, 1914 when the Great Salem Fire
destroyed 1,600 buildings over 250 acres. More than 14,000 Salemites were displaced from their
homes including many from the Derby Street area. After hours of devastation to the city, the fire
stopped at the foot of Herbert Street and Central Wharf. Many Poles have credited this to
Reverend Czubek. Local lore states that Czubek stood in the middle of Derby Street with holy
water and a crucifix, praying for the fire’s end. Another story credits Clara Kotarski, whose

The Boltrukiewicz Family (1910-1996)
John Stanislaw Boltrukiewicz (1886-1954) was born in Poland on June 24, 1886. In 1907
he immigrated to the United States along with his wife Antonina “Annie” (Sigyjy) Boltrukiewicz
(1886-1963) whom he married that same year. 8 The couple rented a home at 43 Union Street,
that they shared with John’s older brother Lucas, and multiple boarders. John worked at United

�Shoe Company in Beverly painting machines used in the manufacturing of shoes. In 1909 they
welcomed their daughter Bronislawa “Bertha” Boltrukiewicz. (1909-1967) The couple had three
more children, Wladislawa “Alice” (1910-1993), Stanislaw “Stanley” (1912-1965), and Jane
(1914-1996.) It appears that they also had multiple children die in infancy including John Jr. born
on May 4, 1908 and Wclaw, who was born in 1909 and died of pneumonia a few weeks later.9
In August 1910, John S. Boltrukiewicz purchased 14 and 16 Herbert Street from Joseph
Czubek for “one dollar and other considerations paid.”10 Their mortgage however reflects $2,400
which may have been used to construct a new dwelling at #14.11 The family moved into 16
Herbert Street and based on directories, around 1912, constructed a new two-family house at
#14 using the former single-family home’s foundation.12 The previous home looked very similar
to #16 but may have been replaced with a two-family as an investment property.13
During the Boltrukiewicz’s ownership, 14 Herbert Street had multiple tenants, primarily
Polish. The two-family home had a quick turn-over, with most tenants only listed living in the
home for a year. This however was not uncommon, as property ownership was a great source of
pride to the Polish, who would have rented only until they could have afforded a home.
Reverend Czubek was celebrated for assisting over 100 newly married couples purchase their
first homes.14
The Boltrukiewicz children continued to live at home at #16 into adulthood. Jane worked
in the mill of the Naumkeag Steam Cotton Company and Alice worked downtown as a
saleswoman at Amy, Bigelow & Washburn. Their brother Stanley worked as an auto mechanic at
Colonial Garage and Bertha Boltrukiewicz worked as a full-time stenographer. Around 1941,
Bertha began working at the Hygrade Sylvania Corporation in Salem, assembling lamps. 15 That

Wclaw is also listed as Wclaf and William, born September 28, 1909 and died October 11, 1909. John Jr. was born
May 4, 1908, no information on his death was found.

Both the Phillips Library (Peabody Essex Museum) and City of Salem were contacted to request the building
permits from 1912. Both organizations were not able to locate these records. The use of these records could better
substantiate the home’s construction date.

�same year she married Henry Panek, a machinist. By 1942 the couple had moved into 14 Herbert
Street and the following year they had a son, Henry Jr. The Paneks remained in the home for
over 20 years, the longest of any tenant.
Both homes remained in the Boltrukiewicz family for a total of 86 years. They passed
down from John and Antonina, in 1953, to their children and in 1996, following the death of
Jane, the homes were sold separately for the first time. Henry Panek Jr., Jane’s nephew, who by
that time was living in Pennsylvania, sold 16 Herbert Street to Lorinda and Michael Matter for
$121,000 and 14 Herbert Street to Aaron and Kenneth Dibello for $105,000 16
14 Herbert Street sold again, three years later, to James and Christina Ayube for
180,000.17 The two-family home was rezoned into condo units in 2004 when the Ayube’s sold
the home to Timothy J. Hallinan, III for $285,000.18 Since 2004, the two units have been owned
separately.

�BUILDING FORM (14 Herbert Street)
ARCHITECTURAL DESCRIPTION
Describe architectural features. Evaluate the characteristics of the building in terms of other buildings within the
community.
14 Herbert Street is a turn-of-the-century two-story,flat-roofed,two-family block which is sheathed in vinyl siding and rests
on a foundation which has been faced with concrete. The projecting eaves are encased in siding. The southeast comer of the
building is dominated by a recessed two-story porch which is three bays wide and supported by turned posts which are
spanned by an "x" railing. There are two bays of windows on the east side facing Herbert Street. Like most of the other
windows on the building they contain 2/2 sash with exterior storm windows and shutters; their surrounds are not visible due
to the siding. Centered on each level under the porch is a modem door. An additional entrance containing an original glassand-panel door is located on the west end of the south elevation. Fenestration on the north side consists of three irregularly
spaced bays of both small and large windows.
The building is set directly on the sidewalk. Opposite the building is a parking lot.
HISTORICAL NARRATIVE
Describe the history of the building. Explain its associations with local (or state) history. Include uses of the building and
the role(s) the owners/occupants played within the community.
The present 14 Herbert Street replaced an earlier dwelling which was owned in 1874 by Hannah Brick. The heirs of Hannah
Fitzgerald owned this building and that to the south in 1897. By 1911 the property had been acquired by John Czubeck. It
appears that the present building was constructed shortly thereafter. The 1912 directory is the last to show the building as a
single-family residence; from 1913 on the property is a two-family dwelling. There is no listing for John Czubeck in the
Salem directories although Rev. Joseph Czubeck was appointed pastor of the St. John Baptist (Polish Catholic) Church in
1901 (the building was located at 18-20 Herbert Street) and lived at 31 Union Street.
The building has had a variety of tenants, many of Polish descent, over the years.

ARCHITECTURAL DESCRIPTION
Describe architectural features. Evaluate the characteristics of the building in terms of other buildings within the
community.
17 1/2 River Street is a narrow 2 1/2-story, gablefront building which is built right up to the sidewalk, adjacent to and to the
west of 17 River Street. The simple, clapboarded building rests on a high, mortared stone foundation. The gable roof is
covered with asphalt shingles; a brick chimney rises from just off the ridge. The recessed sidehall entry is framed by a plain
surround, rising from a masonry step and flight of wooden stairs. Adjacent to the entrance there are two somewhat higher 6/6
windows with molded surrounds. Two additional windows are in alignment on the second floor; there is no window on the
second floor over the entrance. A single three-light window punctuates the stone foundation. The 6/6 window in the attic is
framed by cornice returns.
HISTORICAL NARRATIVE
Describe the history of the building. Explain its associations with local (or state) history. Include uses of the building and
the role(s) the owners/occupants played within the community.
This building was constructed for John McMahon, who was granted a building permit in 1882 to build an addition to his
property at 17 River Street. The adjacent property at 17 River Street was acquired by his mother, Ami McMahon, in 1869
from wealthy merchant Thomas Perkins. Mrs. McMahon was born in County Clare, Ireland, as were her three children,
John, Michael and Bridget. The family apparently came to this country in the 1860s. After the construction of 17 1/2 River
Street, both John and Bridget's families moved into the building; the family continued to rent out 17 River Street to a variety
of tenants. After Ann McMahon's death in 1892 the property passed to her children, John McMahon and Mrs. James
(Bridget) Landers. James Landers (c. 1917) operated a grocery store at 10 River Street. The property remained in the
McMahon family until 1972 (King 1983).

features.
Evaluate the characteristics
of the building in terms of other buildings within the
Located at the northeast corner of Botts Court, the house at 18 Chestnut Street is a three-story, hip-roofed, wood-frame
residence with a foreshortened third story. It is capped by an asphalt hip roof with two large brick chimneys. The house is
oriented with its narrow three-bay end to the street. Outlining the clapboarded house are simple wooden comerboards and a
plain watertable. It rests on a coursed granite foundation with cobblestone on the side elevation. In 1888 the principal
entrance was moved from the five-bay west side to the present sidehall entrance on the south side. The six-panel door is
capped by a delicate segmental fanlight with geometric tracery which also fills the sidelights. The Doric entrance porch
consists of a flat roof with a thin projecting cornice and triglyphs, lacking an entablature. Modillions decorate the underside.
Supporting the roof are reeded side timbers supported by round columns and square attached pilasters. Above the entrance is
a flat-roofed rectangular bay window containing 1/1 windows with recessed panels below. The remaining windows contain
6/6 sash with molded surrounds and blinds.
The wooden spindle fence in front of the house displays simple posts capped by balls..
HISTORICAL NARRATIVE
Describe the history of the building. Explain its associations with local (or state) history. Include uses of the building and
the role(s) the owners/occupants played within the community.
According to Tplles, the Bott-Fabens House may be the oldest surviving residence on Chestnut Street and may predate 1800,
although this has not been firmly documented. The house may have been built before Chestnut Street was laid out in 1796.
The first owner was saddler, James B. Bott although it is not clear if he ever lived here. Bott emigrated from Tudbury,
England in 1768 and established a shop on Essex Street constructing fancy carriages. (About 1783 he constructed a house
nearby at 5 Botts Court for his own use). The Chestnut Street building seems to have served as a multi-family residence in its
early years. Mjss Mary Ome Pickering was bom in the house in 1805. The Prescott family lived here from about 1825 to
1JJB2 (Wiswall, p. 210). For about 16 months in 1846 and 1847, while serving as surveyor of the Port of Salem and Beverly,
Nathaniel Hawthorne occupied this house with his family (Cousins: 81). Dr. David Coggin lived in the house from 18811887. Augustus and Benjamin Fabens purchased the building in 1888 and converted it to a single-family house. They also
inoved the entrance from the west elevation to the south end. The Fabens family continued to own the property until 1905.
The Misses Lathrop occupied the house from 1924 until at least 1939 (Wiswall). Later residents included Oliver and Ann
Goodell, Mrs. Rebecca Bradley and Mrs. Lillian Phillips and Jacqueline Frederickson.

�1833 — Henry Chew, mariner, purchases land from the Town of Salem
Amidst the rapidly expanding neighborhoods of the prosperous seaport town of Salem, Massachusetts a
mariner named Henry Chew purchased a plot of land in ‘Northfields’ (what is now North Street) from the
Town of Salem for one-hundred dollars on the 2nd of August, 1833. As there is no buildings noted on the
deed as being part of the property, it can be assumed that shortly after the land purchase, the Greek
Revival dwelling house was built on the land where it stands to this day.
2nd August 1833 — Northfields Property sold from Town of Salem to Henry Chew
Essex County Registry of Deeds
Book 273 | Page 15
This home remains one of the best examples of vernacular Greek Revival architecture in the City of
Salem, and has remained largely unchanged on its exterior through the decades of history that have
passed by its front door. Indeed, this house is one that is passed by millions of cars every year, as North
Street is one of the main thoroughfares in and out of the ‘Witch City’, and its unassuming appearance
belies its fascinating and extensive history. The architectural history standard text, A Field Guide to
American Houses, by Virginia & Lee McAlester notes the historical significance of Greek Revival
architecture, which is often associated with government buildings and the like, but the vernacular
examples hearken to the same historic influences:
Greek revival was the dominant style of American domestic
architecture during the interval from about 1830 to 1850 […] during
which its popularity led it to be called the National Style. [It]
especially flourished in those regions that were being rapidly
settled in the decades of the 1830s, ‘40s, and ‘50s.
3
�… archaeological investigation in the early 19th century emphasized
Greece as the Mother of Rome which, in turn, shifted interest to
Grecian models. Two additional factors enhanced Greek influence
in this country. Greece’s involvement in a war for independence
(1821-30) aroused much sympathy in the newly independent United
States; at the same time, the war of 1812 diminished American
affection for British influence, including the still dominant Adam
style in domestic architecture.
An important and enduring legacy of the Greek Revival to American
domestic architecture is the front-gabled house. Popularized during
the ascendance of the Greek Revival style in the early 19th century,
this became the predominant form for detached urban houses in cities
of the Northeast…1
The purchase of this property and the subsequent building is especially significant as the home’s builder,
Henry Chew, listed in the 1833 City Directory as a mariner living on North Street, was a free black man.
Records indicate that he lived at the Greek Revival home on North Street for a number of years with his
family, including his wife Venus (married in 1801) and several children. Although the Chew family were of
a higher social status than many of their enslaved counterparts in the South, life was not easy for them, as
the couple buried several children in the time that they lived at the home on North Street, including a son
born the year that the home was built. Just fourteen months later the little boy died of an unnamed illness
in 1834. Prior to the family’s residence on North Street, they had also buried a daughter, Hannah, who
had died in 1822 from consumption, what is today called tuberculosis, at only eight years old.
Unfortunately, not much more is known about the Chew family, as records available from the time are
scarce. As a free black family, they were likely involved in the Abolitionist movement that had taken hold
in the greater Boston and North Shore region. Furthermore, this property may have been involved in the
Underground Railroad, as there is evidence that escaped slaves on the Railroad went through Essex
County, including Salem, on their route North to freedom. Maybe it is appropriate to note the
coincidence here — that Henry Chew and his family purchased land and built their home along a
farmland path that would eventually be named ‘North Street’ before the house was sold to the next
generation of owner in 1842.

�1842 Salem City Directory — Henry Chew, Mariner, North [Street]
Following the alphabetical list of names of Salem’s white residents, the City Directory included a
separate section entitled “People of Color” — the 1842 publication of the directory notes Henry Chew as
living on North Street, and lists the places of work for the other Chew family members.
5
�1842 — Elisha Odlin purchases property from Henry Chew
According to the records found through the Essex County Registry of Deeds, Elisha Odlin purchased the
property on North Street from Henry Chew, including “a dwelling house and out buildings thereon” for
$100, plus interest. The deed also importantly notes about the North Street property, as “being the same
I (Henry Chew) purchased of the City or Town of Salem,” which refers to the earlier cited 1833 deed.
26th August 1842 —North Street Property sold from Henry Chew to Elisha Odlin
Essex County Registry of Deeds
Book 333 | Page 65
Elisha Odlin’s occupation is noted as ‘trader’ on the deed (above), which likely refers to the maritime
trade that supported Salem’s booming economy. Although there are several generations of men named
‘Elisha Odlin’ throughout the decades of the 18th and 19th centuries in Salem, the generation that aligns
with this deed suggests it was owned by Elisha Odlin, Jr. son of Samuel Odlin. Unfortunately, just five
years after Elisha Odlin Jr.’s purchase of the property on North Street, he died from consumption at only
twenty-seven years of age on November 19, 1848. Subsequently, his estate was divided among multiple
owners, until the property was procured by Pierce L. W. Gardner, and shortly thereafter sold to Caleb A.
Smith in 1855.

century, and these Atlas images show the great swaths of land owned by Wm A. Creesy, as well as other
prominent Salem families. The arrow indicates the property that is now 198 North Street.
(Bottom) Close-up view of the 1874 Salem City atlas that notes 148 and 146 North Street as being the
property of William A. Creesy, and contemporaneous Federal censuses city directories list David
Sinclair, carpenter, as the resident of 148 North Street.
7
�1855 — North Street property becomes part of the Estate of Caleb A. Smith
The Essex County Registry of Deeds records records multiple purchases of property by Caleb Smith in
the mid-18th century, including a “parcel of land with the buildings thereon, situated on North Street in
Salem” described as “the premises to me (Caleb A. Smith) conveyed by the heirs of Elisha Odlin, by
various deeds on record.” Mr. Smith also appears on Historic Salem, Inc. historic house report records
as being the builder in 1861 of what is now 3-5 Ridgeway Street, less than a tenth of a mile from the North
Street property. For the next twelve years the Smith family would own the property and dwelling house
across the street from their own home on North Street, during which time the home would likely have
been used as a residence for the Smith family staff, or as an income property that they could rent out.

�1867 — Smith sells Estate, including North Street property, to William A. & Emily F. Creesy
Documentation shows that William A. Creesy, along with his wife Emily, purchased the estate from
Caleb A. Smith in 1867. Creesy had made his fortune, along with so many others, in Salem’s booming
maritime trade industry. According to the text entitled ‘Old Marblehead Sea Captains and Ships in
Which they Sailed” published by the Marblehead Historical Society in 1916, William Andrew Cressy
(whose name spelling seems to have varied depending on who recorded the documentation) was the
brother of Josiah P. Cressy, and was the captain for a number of Salem’s ships, including the Oneida,
Mary Whittredge, and Cohota.
1874 Salem City Directory
Captain William A. Creesy and his son and namesake, William A. Creesy Jr. are both noted as living at 145
North Street — their former home is now 3-5 Ridgeway Street, and the property at 198 North Street
belonged to part of the same Creesy Estate.
The 1867 Deed, dated March 14th, notes and references the premises as being the same that were
purchased by Smith in 1855 from Pierce L. W. Gardner:
…the real estate in said Salem which is bounded commencing at the
Southwest corner and running Northwesterly by North Street about one
hundred and forty eight feet to the land of Dearborn about four hundred
and twenty feet to land of Cross, then turning and running Southerly by
land of Cross about one hundred and thirty feet to the land of Newhall,
then turning and running Southwesterly by said Newhall’s land to North
Street and the said point begun at. […] Being the same premises conveyed
to Caleb A. Smith by Pierce L. W. Gardner by deed dated May 5, 1855,
recorded in the Registry of Deeds for Essex County in Book 513 Leaf 13.

�Upon William A. Creesy’s passing in 1874, the Creesy Estate became the property of Mrs. Emily F.
Cressey (whose name spelling yet again changed on subsequent documentation). This is also around the
same time frame that the earliest map and atlas images appear showing the property at what is now 198
North Street. By 1872 a carpenter named David E. Sinclair and his family are listed in the City Directories
as living at 148 North Street (now 198).
1872 Salem City Map
This clip from an 1872 publication that included a map of Salem, Massachusetts Ward 6 area of North
Salem, while the arrow indicates the North Street property that is the subject of this report.
The larger historic context is important to note before recording the Sinclair’s history at 198 North
Street: as noted earlier, the neighborhood of North Salem was rapidly becoming more densely populated
throughout the 19th century, including a major renovation completed by the city around 1871 near what is
now the North Street Bridge (adjacent to the MBTA Commuter Rail station). As a result, land parcels
were subdivided as well as the numbering of the dwelling houses throughout the neighborhood,
including on North Street, where in the time period between 1870 and 1880 the address for the North
Street house that is the subject of this report changed from 148 to 198 North Street. For this reason,
11
�earlier historic records of this property proposed a feasible theory that the building had been moved from
another parcel of land to its current current location, but further research confirms that the dwelling
house at 198 North Street has been on its current foundation since the area was called ‘Northfields’ and
the path that now bears the name North Street was little more than a passageway for merchants, goods,
and travelers to and from Danvers.
1870-c.1887 — David E. Sinclair & Family live at North Street property dwelling house
Prior to living at the home that would become 198 North Street for nearly two decades, David Sinclair,
housewright, and his family lived at a number of addresses throughout Salem. Naturalization records
note David Sinclair’s immigration to Salem on the 9th of November, 1849. He and his young wife
Margaret are listed on the 1850 Federal Census as living in Ward 1 along with Catherine Humber, Ann
Garret, Rebecca Phillips, and James A. Humber. The couple soon had a family of their own, and by 1853
are listed as living at 14 Turner Street (in Ward I of Salem, Mass.), and then at 15 Mall Street by 1855.
The 1860 US Federal Census provides more detail about the Sinclair family ten years after the couple
first appeared on Federal records. The family is listed as living in Ward 3, confirmed by the 1861 Salem
City Directory which notes the family’s address as 57 Broad Street. In 1860 the family included Mr. David
Sinclair, a 35 year-old carpenter, his wife Margaret, now 27 years old attended to the house and the
children: David A., age 9; Charles H., age 6, and 2-year-old Frank.
The family of five did not remain in the Broad Street neighborhood of Ward 3 very long, however, as the
American Civil War called Mr. Sinclair to join the Union Army, the family moved once again, this time to
15 Essex Street in Salem’s Derby Street neighborhood, during the absence of David. Mr. Sinclair’s
naturalization records note his voluntary enlistment into the Army of the United States on October 3rd,
1861 until he was honorably discharged in January of 1866. This is confirmed through Salem City
directories that list David Sinclair as serving with Company B of the 24th Army Regiment. Upon the
ending of the war, David Sinclair returned to his family at 15 Essex Street where they remained until 1870,
when the US Federal Census lists the Sinclair family as living in the 6th Ward of the City: North Salem.
12
�By the 1870 recording of the US Federal Census, the Sinclair family had changed in the preceding
decade; the two oldest Sinclair boys, David and Charles Sinclair, now 19 and 16 years old, no longer are
listed as living with the family (for reasons yet discovered). David Sinclair, now 44 years old, is again
listed as a carpenter, his wife Margaret, now 37, continued to maintain the family home and raise the
younger Sinclair children: Joseph F. Sinclair, 12 (most likely the ‘F’ meaning ‘Frank’ or ‘Francis’ — the
youngest Sinclair child from the 1860 Census), a 3-year-old daughter, Annie F. Sinclair, and 7-month-old
Stephen H. Sinclair. In all, David and Margaret Sinclair would raise four boys and one girl during their
lives and time lived at 198 North Street.
1870 US Federal Census — Salem, Mass. — Ward 6
The Sinclair family, including David Sinclair with his occupation listed as ‘carpenter, Margaret E.
Sinclair as keeping house, and their 3 children, Joseph (12), Annie (3), and Stephen (7 months).
Salem City Directories during the Sinclair tenure at the North Street property show the change in
address for the home from 148 to 198 North Street between 1876 and 1878, just a few years after the
family’s first appearance at the address. Throughout their time at the residence David Sinclair is listed as
a carpenter by trade through the 1886 City Directory, after which he and his family moved to 29 Osborne
Street by 1888.

�1888-1925 — 198 North Street remains part of the Cressey Estate while rented by several tenants
While the estate was owned and managed by the widow of William Creesy, Emily F. Cressey, the
property at 198 North Street was home to several tenants, whose names and occupations are traceable
though the Salem City Directories:
1888-c1896 : John E. Scanlan — Morocco Dresser
“Morocco Dresser” is a specialization in leather finishing; specifically, ‘morocco’ referred to a
type of goat skin leather that is much lighter than other 19th and 20th century finished leathers,
and a ‘dresser’ tanned the leather. This type of leather work was most often used in shoe leather
applications, so Mr. Scanlan likely worked with of one of the many shoe factories in Salem and
the greater North Shore region of Boston.
1897 : Walter A. Tarr — Shoe Trimmer
1899 : Ernest A. Oliver — Electrician
1901 : George M. Sinclair — Clerk
1903-1904 : Arthur W. Stevens — Shoemaker
1905-1910 : Frank J. Verry — Brakeman for the Boston & Maine Railroad
1911-1912 : Oliver Collette — Driver
1913 : Otis H. Pickard — Plumber
1914 : Albert Dyer — Teamster
In the early 20th century, ‘teamster’ referred to a person whose occupation it was to manage and
be in charge of a team of horses, which could be used for anything from transportation to fire
brigades.
1915 : Albert Nolet — Carpenter
1916-1920 — Charles W. Chapman — Machinist
(& Martha A. Chapman)
1921-1922 — John F. Farnsworth — Bricklayer
(& Sadie J. Farnsworth)
1924-1926 — William A Walsh — Leatherworker
(& Blanche Walsh)

�1925 — The Heirs of Emily F. Cressy sell the property at 198 North Street to Arthur W. & Bessie M.
Dorman
The property at 198 North Street remained the property of the Cressy Family until 1925, at which time
the Essex County Registry of Deeds records indicate the land belonging to the Estate of Emily F. Cressey
on the even-numbered side of North Street was sold to Arthur W. & Bessie M. Doorman. Importantly,
this deed references an official survey plan recorded by Civil Engineer Thomas A. Appleton of the
property entitled “Land of Estate of Emily F. Cressy, Salem, Mass.” which clearly depicts the properties
at both 198 and 196 North Street.

�1949 — Salem Housing Authority issues an ‘Order of Taking’ for 198 North Street
Following the second World War, the nation’s burgeoning population, known as the ‘Baby Boom’
created a need for veteran’s housing throughout the country, including in Salem, Massachusetts. As a
result, the property that had been purchased by Arthur and Bessie Dorman in 1925 was the subject of an
official ‘Order of Taking’ by the Salem Housing Authority, by order of an official State-Aided Housing
Project. Two documents record this transaction: the Essex County Registry of Deeds Book 3662 Page
213, and the Plan of Land for the ‘State-Aided Housing Project, Salem #200-1’, which included the
dwelling houses at 198 and 196 North Street, as well as two additional parcels of land:
17
�1949-1983 — 198 North Street owned by the Salem Housing Authority
Following the government seizure of the property at 198 North Street, the property is listed as ‘Vacant’ in
the 1950 Salem City Directory. Available City Directories only give insight to tenants through 1963; the
recorded residents of 198 North Street through the early 1960s create a more detailed look into this
property’s extensive history:
1951-1953 — Ernest P. Snow — Leatherworker
(& Anna P. Snow)
1954-1962 — Emerson E. Pollock — Masonic Temple Superintendent
(& Lucy C. Pollock)
1964— Leo W. Dragon —- Leatherworker at A. C. Lawrence
The final document of this report correlates to the 1983 Deed regarding the property at 198 North Street,
by which time the property had been in the ownership and management of a trustee of Allyn Realty Trust.
Recorded in October of 1983, the deed and plan record the sale of the property from being managed as
State-Aided housing project to a private home, which it remains to this day.

�I.
The Property, 1665-1736
Throughout Salem’s early history, North Salem was primarily an agricultural area known
as the North Fields (or Northfields) which was largely undeveloped. Development arrived here in
the mid- to late 1800s as the population of Salem grew, but the area did not reach the density it
has today until the 1930s, later than many other parts of the city.
In A Storm of Witchcraft, historian Emerson W. Baker explains how the common division
of land in medieval England, with small villages surrounded by fields for farming divided into
private ownership, was brought in Salem:
Farming was a cooperative activity; the villagers agreed what to plant and when to harvest.
This tradition continued in Salem, where most early settlers lived on the neck on a one- or
two-acre house lot. North Fields lay, logically enough, across the North River, to the north
of the Neck, and South Fields sat to the south of the South River. Residents of the Neck
made a daily trek to farm the ten-acre strips or lots they owned in one of the fields.”1
In the early twentieth century, the antiquarian Sidney Perley studied the deeds of early
Salem in order to construct a map of Salem as it would have appeared in 1700, which was
assembled and edited by the historian James Duncan Phillips in 1937. This map and Perley’s study
of the area provide a sense of how it may have appeared at the turn of the eighteenth century.
Perley states that “when the North field was laid out is unknown, but it must have been
before the town records were begun. Apparently most of the original lots consisted of ten acres
each.”2
A road, roughly following the path of School Street today, went from the horse pasture in
northeast Salem to Trask’s mill in what is today Peabody. The “highway leading into ye North
Field” was roughly equivalent to North Street. Surrounding both sides of this highway was the

�land of a joiner named James Symonds. It was on Symonds’ land that Symonds’ descendant built
24 Buffum Street two centuries later.
Symonds land was bordered to the west by a strip of farmland owned by Caleb Buffum, a
carpenter. Farther west was the vast tract of Jonathan Corwin, a merchant and magistrate, and
beyond that, the land of Robert Buffum, where Mack Park is today. To the east, Symonds’ tract
was bordered by John Bliven, a husbandman. When John Bliven died in 1704, his inventory listed
a ten-acre lot “joyning to James Symonds Land” worth £55, and an additional ten-acre lot adjoining
the horse pasture worth £35. His inventory also lists 3 cows, a calf, 8 sheep, and a “breeding sow,”
giving a sense of the livestock which may have been grazing in the area. 3 Like the Buffums, Bliven
was a Quaker.
Farther east, smaller tracts of farmland belonged to brothers Joseph and Jeremiah Neale
and their sister, Lydia Hart, widow of the mariner Jonathan Hart. 4 Another lot farther away
belonged to Joshua Buffum, a carpenter. According to Perley’s research, James Symonds had the
only house in the North Fields, built in 1665 roughly where the Shell Gas Station is on North Street
today, at number 111.
The Symonds family were master joiners who “dominate[d] the furniture-making trade in
Salem.”5 Art historian Benno Forman first attributed several prominent examples of seventeenthcentury furniture to the Symonds in the 1960s, using evidence from the family’s probates. 6 John
Symonds, James’ father, was a joiner who emigrated from Norfolk, England to Salem in the 1630s,

�and trained his sons and other apprentices in the trade.7 John died in 1671, but his sons, James and
Samuel, continued the trade into the early eighteenth century.
The pieces attributed to the Symonds workshop are among the finest and most desired
furniture pieces which survive from the seventeenth century. Their signature item is a type of
intricately carved valuables chests, usually measuring around 17 inches tall and 17 inches wide
and 9 inches deep. These pieces tend to be constructed of red or white oak and white pine, with
decorative moldings in red cedar, black walnut, and maple.
Many prominent museums with collections of Early American decorative arts have pieces
attributed to the Symonds workshop. The Wintherthur Museum in Winterthur, Delaware has a
valuables chest monogramed for T.B. & S.B. from 1676.8 The Massachusetts Historical Society
in Boston has a chest of drawers from the late seventeenth-century.9 The Metropolitan Museum in
New York City has two valuables chests, one made in 1679, likely for Ephraim and Mary Herrick,
and another made in the last quarter of the seventeenth century. 1011 The Peabody-Essex Museum
in Salem has a valuables cabinet belonging to Joseph and Bathsheba Pope from 1679, painted a
reddish black color. 1213 The museum purchased the chest at auction at Christie’s in 2000 for
$2,422,500.14 The Pope cabinet is directly attributed to James Symonds. The Peabody-Essex

When Symonds died in 1714, his executors determined that his real estate “will be spoiled
to devide it there being nine Children to have shears in it.”17 Subsequently, Thomas, Joseph, and
Benjamin Symonds relinquished their shares of the real estate to their brother John. 18
The dwelling house was valued at £40, the barn and the shop were valued at £11. The
“westerly lott with ye highway,” where 24 Buffum stands today, was valued at £45. The easterly
lot and some adjoining marsh were valued at £52. Symonds owned another 30 acres of land, split
evenly between lots described a pond, an orchard, and a hill. These were valued respectively at
£43, £43, and £50. Along with some other small lots, Symonds’ total real estate added up to £323,
a sizeable sum. 19 His moveable goods offer a picture of his work: a level, wedges, two small old
saws, an old auger, a glue pot, and a mortise chisel. His other possessions of value were silver, a
“small peice of Gold,” two old skillets, and a silver spoon. In total, the rest of his estate came to
£29..1.20 A second, more detailed inventory placed the value of “his dwelling house part of a barn
an old shop and ten akres land” at £137.
The second inventory gives a clue as to the appearance of Symonds’ early house. The first
floor consisted of the “Great Lower Room,” with a feather bed. The second floor featured the “Best

For animals, Symonds owned 30 “old sheep,” 15 lambs, an “old hors,” 3 pigs, and 5 1/3 cows.

The Property, 1736-1836
John Symonds died in 1729, “the principal part” of the estate laying “in lands in the North
feild in Salem”22 His real estate came to £315..13..4. 23 In apportioning John’s widow, Sarah Foster
Symonds, her customary third of the estate, some clues are given to the appearance of the Symonds
house in 1729. Sarah is to have “the easterly lower room in the Dwelling house, the Leantoo
Chamber, [and] the westerly third part of the Sellar.” Clearly either the house that James Symonds
built in 1665 had been improved upon or a new house had been built in the interim. A new barn is
mentioned, which Samuel Symonds built. 24
In 1736, James Symonds, aged 19, and Anna Symonds, aged 15, both the children of John,
chose Joseph Pickering to be their legal guardian, as they were minors. 25 Sarah Foster Symonds
died in 1743.26

1790. He may be the James Symonds, a ship’s cooper, who died on a ship returning from Aux
Cayes, Haiti, under Capt. Jonathan Tucker. 28 His estate was left to his widow, Mary, John Symonds
III, a shoreman, and John Symonds V, a yeoman. 29 James Symonds’ house, barn, well, along with
a half an acre “situated in the North Fields” were valued at £80. An adjoining 3 ½ acres was valued
at £29:15, a half acre opposite at £6, and two acres of pasture on the main road in the recentlyindependent town of Danvers, £9. His land totaled 6 ½ acres worth £124. His personal estate
included 6 silver tea spoons, a silver spoon, nine earthenware plates, two teapots with cups and
saucers, a cross-cut saw, two flat irons, a hand saw, an ax, two small arms, and a number of small
articles and clothing, totaling £30:2. 30
John Symonds’ nephew, Nathaniel Symonds, became a potter and married Jane Phipps.
Nathaniel’s oldest son, William was born around 1749. William Symonds, a cordwainer and potter,
married Eunice Gardner in 1772. His oldest son, William Phipps Symonds I, was born in 1773. 31

Benjamin R. Symonds I married Elisabeth R. Shatswell April 11, 1829 and they had six
children together. Benjamin Ropes Symonds II, the oldest, was born in Nov. 22, 1829, followed

Buffum Street was developed in 1836, when the estate of Jonathan Buffum, who owned
the left side of Buffum Street from what is today number 13 to number 41. 36 Buffum, a tailor and
yeoman, built the Federal mansion at 25-27 Buffum Street around 1818.37 Buffum died aged 81 in
1835.38 His children inherited various houselots, which they sold off. The left side of Buffum Street
developed quickly. Buffum’s daughter, Anna Frye, sold a lot to Mark Sanborn, a tanner, teamster,
and hair dealer, around 1836.39 In 1844, Jonathan’s son Edward Buffum built a house at 21 Buffum
Street.40 17 Buffum Street, the house directly across from number 24, was built in 1849 by Joseph
Towne, a bookkeeper on land that had passed rapidly from Israel Buffum to Mark Sanborn to
Nathaniel Horton. 41

1850.43 Caleb Buffum, a shoe-maker, built 16 Buffum street as a Federal-style house with
Italianate trim around 1845. 44
In 1855, Benjamin R. Symonds I worked as a grocer at 109 North Street and lived at 107
North Street, where Benjamin R. Symonds, Jr., boarded.45 In 1869, Symonds I was working as a
grocer at 79 Federal Street and living at 14 Barr Street. 46 Benjamin R. Symonds II was boarding
at 1 Holly Street, along with Mrs. Lucy W. Holt and dressmaker Lucy Jane Holly in the home of
Mrs. Nathan Poole. 47
In September of that year, Benjamin R. Symonds II purchased a plot of land on the corner
of Buffum and Randall Streets from Nathaniel Horton for $2,200. The parcel measured 150 feet
by 99 feet square. 48
The Atlas of the City of Salem in 1874 shows the property at the southeast corner of Buffum
and Randall streets as belonging to B.R. Symonds, with a house and another structure at the back
of the property. Nathaniel Horton still owns the lot to the south. 49
Benjamin R. Symonds II was also a grocer. There were roughly nine grocers in Salem in
1855, and 73 in 1886.50 Benjamin had retired by that later year, but three Symonds, cousins Joseph
and Thomas, and Benjamin’s brother, Thomas Shatswell, who all ran their own grocery stores on

�Ernest F. Symonds, the youngest child Benjamin R. Symonds II purchased the land on
which he built his house from the estate of his late father for one dollar and other valuable
consideration paid on June 5, 1897. His mother, Sarah C. Symonds, and siblings Benjamin R.
Symonds III and Apphia C. Symonds, and Ida E. Symonds, Benjamin’s wife.59
The house at 24 Buffum Street first appears in the 1897 Atlas of Salem, as part of the estate
of B.R. Symonds.60 It is an eclectic and handsome Colonial Revival house, with a porch supported
by six Tuscan columns and a Federal-style urn finial on the post at the top of the entrance stairs.
Above the porch is a dentilled cornice. A half-turret runs up the left side of the façade to the second
story. A bay window sits above the roof of the porch on the right side of the second story. The
fenestration on the North side of the house is very interesting, with an oriel window looking onto
26 Buffum Street and a square diamond-paned window set into the exposed chimney. The eave
has a modillioned cornice and the hipped roof featured two dormers.
Ernest F. Symonds was a bank clerk. The 1897-98 Directory lists him as the bookkeeper
at the Salem National Bank, which was at 114 Washington Street. 61 A 1900 ad in the Salem
Directory lists Symonds fourth among the personnel at the bank, after the president, the cashier,
and the assistant cashier. 62
Ernest F. Symonds married Jessie M. Hatch on June 16, 1897 and they had three children,
Sarah Cox, born June 2, 1901, Helen, born July 8, 1905, and an unnamed son, who was stillborn
on Nov. 4, 1907.63 By 1906, Symonds was working as a bookkeeper in Revere. 64

�In 1901, Ernest took out a $3,500 mortgage against the property from Aroline C. Gove, a
noted philanthropist and daughter of famous nineteenth-century marketer of medical conconctions
Lydia Pinkham.65 The document for the mortgage describes the property:
“Beginning at the southern corner thereof and running northeasterly by land now or
formerly of Horton one hundred and eight (108) feet more or less to land of the estate of
Benjamin R. Symonds; then turning and running northwesterly by said land of the estate

land of the estate of Benj. R. Symonds one hundred and eight (108) feet more or less to
Buffum Street, there turning and running south easterly by said Buffum Street thirty seven
(37) feet to the point begun at.”66
A 1911 Atlas shows 24 Buffum as belonging to E.F. Symonds, 67 and the 1914 Salem
Directory shows Ernest F. Symonds as the owner. 68 In January of 1913, Ernest transferred the
property to his wife, Jessie. 69

mortgage of $1500 from David V. Nason in September of that year. 76 Ralph moved between a
number of jobs during his residency, beginning as an accountant in 1929, 77 then as a advertising
manager 1930-1932.78 In 1933, 1934, and 1935 he was a salesman in Boston. 79 In 1935, Salem
Savings Bank took possession of the house. 80 Roland Stanley, treasurer of the Salem Savings Bank,
attested that “default has been made in payment of interest and taxes.” An auction was held to sell
the house, subject to “all unpaid taxes, assessments or other multiple liens.” 81 The following year,

Summary
24 Buffum Street is a fine Colonial Revival house built in 1897 by Ernest F. Symonds, a
middle-class bank clerk and book-keeper, on land that had belonged to his family over two
centuries before. After Symonds’ mortgage was foreclosed, the mortgage holder’s mother, a
widow, purchased the house and lived there for 13 years. In 1928, an aspirational accountant and
his wife moved in, but as he shuffled between jobs they were unable to keep up with their mortgage
payments and taxes, so the house was repossessed in 1935. The bank rented the property to a series
of two working-class tenants, a leather worker and then a nurse at the Sylvania plant in the years
leading up to World War II. Lawrence Constantine, the president of Salem’s Chevrolet dealership
for over twenty years, purchased the house and raised three daughters who became teachers.

Book." The frequency with which erasures and interlineations, and
short-hand minutes occur in it, show that it was intended to be more
fairly and correctly copied out into another book, but if such a book
was used, it is now lost. Ralph Fogg at this same time kept the records of the Quarter Court for Salem, then just established; and there
he first used a waste-book and then copied out the record in a corrected
form, into another book. (See Essex Inst. Hist. Collections, vol. vii,

importance, will be given as they occur. There may be seen in a letter from Edward Howes to John Winthrop, jr., Nov. 23, 1632 (Mass.
Hist. Collections, 4th ser., vol. vi, p. 481) an alphabet of short-hand
characters, very similar to that used by Ralph Eogg, described as invented by Mr. (Rev. Thomas) Archisden. The writer of the letter

�View of 32 Forrester Street, 1987. (MACRIS 3370)
The house at 32 Forrester Street was constructed in 1884 in the Queen Anne style.1
Queen Anne architecture reached the peak of its popularity between 1880 and 1900 and is
known for its highly decorative accents, wrap-around porches, and asymmetry. This style
appears throughout Salem but is most densely seen on Boardman and Lafayette streets.
Until the late 19th century, Forrester Street extended from 20 Essex Street through what
is now known as Washington Square South. The land that now connects Forrester Street to
Webb Street, like much of the surrounding area, was previously industrial. The area was filled in
around 1872 and steadily transitioned to residential property until 1910. The neighborhood was
highly sought after for its proximity to Salem’s downtown and the city’s industrial and maritime
industries.

The house at 32 Forrester Street sits on land that previously extended from Essex Street,
belonging to William W. Kelman. (1828-1896)2 Kelman’s home fronted Essex Street at number
28, but his land encompassed what is now three lots on Forrester Street. 3 Kelman purchased the
land in 1870 for one thousand dollars from Hephsibeth Kelman, who appears to be his widowed,
paternal grandmother. 4 In the 1874 Salem Directory William’s father, John H. Kelman (a
mariner) and his grandmother, Mrs. John Kelman, (Hephsibeth) are listed at 28 Essex Street, with

�William living on Bridge Street.5
Between 1855 and 1879, William, his wife Martha, son William Jr. (listed as a Harvard
student), and daughter Nellie are recorded as owning over twenty investment properties in
Salem and the surrounding towns. According to the Boston Globe, both William and his son
William Jr. died under suspicious circumstances. William Jr. passing first, in 1877 and William Sr.
in 1896.6
In 1864 William W. Kelman split his land between Essex and Forrester streets,
transferring ownership of the parcel abutting Forrester Street to Daniel C. Manning, (1807-1882)
while his parents remained on the Essex Street side.7 Manning was part-owner of Smith &
Manning Co., a livery, which in 1866 had stables on Essex, Hamilton, and Washington Streets.8
Daniel C. Manning and his wife Louisa (Lucy) Massey lived at 62 Forrester Street (now
Washington Square South) with their two daughters, Anna and Mary.

In June 1884 William Kelman sold the land now known as 32 Forrester Street to Lizzie W.
(Marshall) Masury (c. 1856-1889) for five-hundred dollars. 9 The following January, Lizzie and her
husband Samuel Frank Masury (1853-1919) applied for a mortgage of fifteen hundred dollars
from Salem Savings Bank, this mortgage is the first mention of a “dwelling house” on the
property.10 The house would be known as 17 Forrester Street until the street was renumbered
between 1894-1895. In 1886 the Masurys expanded their land by purchasing an additional plot
from the estate of Daniel C. Manning for seven hundred dollars. 11 It is thought that the Masury’s
discovered an issue with the land boundaries during the construction of the home, having to
then appeal to both Manning and previous owner, Kelman, for deeds to the land.

�Samuel Frank Masury, commonly known as S. Frank, was a tobacconist, as was his father
Thomas and older brother John.12 In the second half of the 19th century, Masury & Co. cigar
shops are listed in multiple locations in Salem including, Essex Street, St. Peters Street,
Washington Street, and Cabot Street in Beverly.13
In June 1889, Lizzie Masury passed away at the age of 32. No details of her death are
known, but a will was submitted in probate, in her name, the previous July, implying she may
have been ill for some time. In February 1891, S. Frank married Ruth Jewett Mackenzie, (c. 18611933) a clerk from Essex, Massachusetts.14 The two had a daughter, Pauline Baldwin Masury, in
1893. In 1895 the family relocated to Poplar Street in Danvers, renting the Forrester Street
home.15 The Masury’s returned to 32 Forrester Street in 1908 and remained until July 1915
when the house was sold to Mrs. Daisy E. Jackman.16
The Jackman Family, 1915-1916
Daisy E. (Hill) Jackman (c. 1878 – 1955) was born in Amherst, Nova Scotia in 1878 and
immigrated to America in 1888. On June 8, 1896, while working as a nurse, she married Arthur
Everette Jackman, an electrician from Peabody. 17 Around 1899 the couple welcomed their first
child, a daughter, Ruth. By 1901 the couple moved from Peabody to 27 Warren Street in Salem,
where Arthur worked as an electrician and substitute letter carrier.18 From here it is unclear
what happens to Arthur Jackson. The 1903 Salem Directory, states that he had moved to
Pittsburg Pennsylvania. It is possible that Daisy and Ruth followed. In 1905, their second
daughter Pauline was born, her birthplace is listed as Connecticut. The Jackman family reappears

�in Salem in the 1910 Census, renting a home on Boardman Street. Pauline does not appear in
this record, but Daisy is listed as a mother of two. The following year, Daisy appears in the Salem
Directory, implying that Arthur was no longer head of household. Daisy remains on Boardman
Street until July 1915, when she purchased 32 Forrester from Ruth Masury. On the deed, Daisy is
listed as “having no husband.” Less than a year later Daisy sold the home to Mary and Frank
Wright but continued to live there, with the Wright family, until 1918 when she married Silas
Boyce, who lived on Bridge Street. The new couple welcomed a daughter, Alice, the following
year.
The Wright Family, 1916-1931
Frank B. Wright (1843-1918) was born in Troy, New Hampshire in 1843 to inn-keepers,
Solomon and Polina Wright. In January 1888, while working as a clerk at Central House, on
Washington Street in Salem, Frank married Mary V. Keating, (1867-1927) a waitress, from
Biddeford, Maine.19 The following year the couple had a daughter, Ethel, followed by another
daughter, Marion, in 1892. By 1910, Frank B. Wright was the keeper of a boarding house at 19
Lynde Street before moving in with Daisy Jackman in 1916.20 Around 1918, Frank passed away,
leaving Mary and their two daughters in the 32 Forrester Street home.
Over the next few years, the Wright family hosted boarders including Samuel Webb,
(1858-1945) a widowed, clothing salesman. Samuel Webb was born the youngest of seven
children belonging to Henry and Rebecca Webb.21 The family lived at 22 Hardy Street and Henry
supported the family as a brick mason. Samuel lived with his family on Hardy Street until 1881,
when he married Dolly Potter Ashby. (1857-1905) Two years later, Dolly gave birth to their only
child, a son, Frank Randall Webb. (1883-1960)22 The Webb family lived at 8 Harmony Street in
Salem until 1905 when Dolly died of tuberculosis.23 Frank would soon marry, moving to Boston.

�Samuel then lodged in various homes in Salem before boarding with Ethel and Marion Wright
(1889-1964) at 32 Forrester Street. In 1931, The Wright daughters sold the home to Alice and
Alphonse Bachorowski for $4,500.24
The Bachorowski Family 1931-1985
Alphonse Sylvester Bachorowski (1898-1972) was born in New Jersey to Maryanna and
Zygmunt (Zigmund) Bachorowski, Polish immigrants.25 Around 1900, the family, of at least seven
children, settled in Salem’s Historic Derby Street Neighborhood, living on Herbert Street and
later Hardy Street. In the early 20th century, Derby Street was a predominently Polish
neighborhood. Attracted to job oppertunties in the city’s mills and factories, Polish immigrants
began arriving in Salem around 1890. This was true of Alphonse’s father, Zigmund, who worked
in a tannery as a morocco finisher. By 1911, Poles comprised about 8% of Salem’s population.
By 1922 Alphonse had graduated from St. John’s Preparatory School and earned a law
degree from Boston University. In 1926, Alphonse married Alice H. Kowalski. (1900-1995) In
January 1931, an article by Alphonse titled “Seventy years in Salem” was published in Poland
magazine, discussing the history of Poles in Salem. Around this same time Alphonse presented
his research at Salem’s Essex Institute.26 That same year, Alphonse and Alice purchased the
home at 32 Forrester Street. 27
The couple had two children, Joseph Alphonse and Albert Leon. The Bachorowskis
remained in the home for several decades. After Alphonse passed away in 1972, Alice continued
to reside in the home for another thirteen years. In 1985 she sold the home John and Kim Masiz
for $135,000.28

ARCHITECTURAL DESCRIPTION
Describe architectural features. Evaluate the characteristics of the building in terms of other buildings within the
community.
Functioning as a stable until the early 20th century, 4 Andrew Street is a single-story dwelling capped b y a mansard roof with
a bellcast profile, sheathed in slate fishscale shingles. The building rests on foundation o f uncut mortared stone and is
sheathed i n vinyl siding. The projecting eaves display a wide frieze and are adorned by paired scroll brackets. The main
entrance is located at the northeast corner o f the house and is sheltered by a recessed porch supported by a single Roman
Doric column resting on a wooden deck. The wooden door has 3 x 3 lights in the upper half and is fitted with a wooden
storm door. Adjacent to the entrance is a pair of 6/6 windows with a molded surround and shutters. The shed dormer on the
front roof slope has a set o f three windows consisting of two 6/6 sash with a narrow 4/4 window in the center. The remaining
windows on the building include individual 6/6 sash as well as sets o f three, a l l o f which are framed b y shutters. The dormers
similarly display a variety o f types and include two pedimented dormers with 6/6 and a central gable dormer with an 8/8
window on the west elevation. A n additional shed dormer is located on the east elevation.
The house is set directly on the sidewalk with a driveway extending to the west o f the house. A stockade fence encloses the
modest yard.
HISTORICAL NARRATIVE
Describe the history of the building. Explain its associations with local (or state) history. Include uses of the building and
the role(s) the owners/occupants played within the community.
Originally a stable for the adjacent property at what is now 96 Washington Square East, this building was constructed for
Charles M i l l e r i n 1877. According to building permits, M i l l e r was granted a permit for a 1 1/2-story building with a "French
r o o f , measuring 24 x 44 feet. M i l l e r was a merchant with a store at 170 1/2 Essex Street. B y 1897 the Washington Square
East property was owned by C . L . B r o w n and occupied by Frank A . Brown. It appears that the building was renovated for
residential use at the time o f the Salem 1914 fire. In 1914 the adjacent property at 96 Washington Square East, including this
building, was owned by Frank Brown, assistant manager of the National Lead Company. H e apparently renovated his barn
for Misses Abbie and M a r y Sweetser, who formerly lived at 185 Lafayette Street but were left homeless by the fire. The
1914 directory shows the sisters to be living at 30 Pleasant Street, apparently awaiting the completion o f 4 Andrew Street.
After M a r y Sweetser passed away in 1919, Abbie Sweetser continued to live here until her death i n 1922. Soon thereafter the
property was occupied by several people until 1930 when it was acquired by Florence Woodbury who continued to live here
into the 1950s. Annie Woodbury was in residence in the 1960s.

�View of 4 Cousins Street, 2011 (Redfin)
Cousins Street
The land now known as Cousins Street was the last large plot in the Historic Derby
Street Neighborhood to be developed. The area previously housed the India Manufacturing
Company, which operated a jute mill. Jute is a fiber created from the inside bark of a plant,
native to India, that was commonly used to manufacture bags for bailing cotton.1 The jute mill,
Salem’s second, was built in 1867 on land known as the “Old English Estate,” a reference to
1

�Phillip and Mary English, accused during the Salem Witchcraft Trials of 1692. 2 The land around
the India Manufacturing Company was sold off in plots by the estate of David Nevins in May
1892. By September 1893, the name Cousins Street appears listed in deeds for the area.3 The
name Cousins, is in homage to well-known Salemite, Frank Cousins, a local photographer and
owner of Frank Cousins Bee-Hive, a souvenir shop in Salem’s downtown.
Mary and Frank Boynton purchased the lot on Cousins Street in 1894 from George
Pitman and Charles Brown, who had acquired the land and assisted in the designation of
Cousins Street, following the plots separation from the adjacent jute mill. The Boynton’s never
lived in the home at 4 Cousins Street but resided on Lafayette Street. It is likely that the
Boynton’s purchased the property on Cousins Street as an investment. Between 1890 and 1910,
Salem’s population increased by 42%. This spike led many Salemites and local developers to
build multi-family tenement homes to accommodate the surge of immigrants settling in Salem.4
In the early 20th century, the Historic Derby Street Neighborhood was predominantly
Polish. Attracted to job opportunities in the city’s mills and factories, Polish immigrants began
arriving in Salem around 1890 and by 1911, Poles comprised about 8% of the city’s overall
population. Religion played a strong role in the Polish community and as the number of Polish
Catholics in Salem grew, the need for a permanent house of worship became apparent. Herbert
Street and Union Street became the heart of the Polish Catholic presence in the city, after the
opening of St. John the Baptist Church, a parochial school, convent, and rectory. St. John the
2
Phillip and Mary English avoided execution by escaping from jail and finding refuge in New York. They later
returned to Salem to find their estate had been pillaged by Sheriff Corwin. Phillip sought reparations but only
received £260 of the estimated £1,183 lost.

�Baptist’s Reverend John Czubek was a central figure in this community, marrying or baptizing
many of Salem’s Poles. The new church increased the settlement of Polish immigrants in the
neighborhood and multiple single-family homes were converted or replaced with multi-family
tenements to house the growing population. This is likely the story of 4 Cousins Street, which
appears to have been built by the Boynton’s in 1894 as a two-family home. In 1910, the home
was replaced with a three-family tenement structure, which still stands today.5 It is likely that
the 1894 foundation and materials were re-used to create the larger home. The home is a
common style of its time and has a striking similarity to a home built at 24-26 Becket Street,
which is dated to c. 1911.
The Boyntons (1894-1911)
Jacob Franklin “Frank” Boynton (1859-1929) was born in Buxton, Maine in May 1859 to
Sarah and Charles Boynton, a merchant. On September 18, 1883, he married the daughter of
Mary and Thomas Waters, Mary A. Waters (1861-unknown) of Salem, Massachusetts. In 1881,
Frank began working in Salem’s clothing industry as a manager for H.B. Wilmot’s. By 1888 he
and another former Wilmot’s manager, Emery E. Kent, owned Kent & Boynton at the previous
H.B. Wilmot’s location, 250-254 Essex Street. The partners opened a second location and
factory of Kent & Boynton in Gloucester, specializing in oil cloth. The business was later

This hypothesis is based on evidence exhibited in the included maps, as well as directory listings which begin
showing three families from 1910 onward. The owner of the home was consulted and did not find any evidence of
the third floor being added to the home.
�renamed Cape Ann Clothing Co. and was lost to a fire in 1899 and again in 1912. 6 It appears
that Frank and Mary briefly lived apart in 1900, as Frank is listed as married but living with his
family without Mary in Wakefield, Massachusetts. 7 This separation may have been due to
financial troubles following the Gloucester fire and the failure of a third store for Kent &
Boynton in Newburyport. In 1912, Frank filed for bankruptcy. The Salem location of Kent &
Boynton was sold and replaced with Palmer Clothing House. In 1916, Frank opened another
store in Salem, Boynton’s Clothing Store at 187 Essex Street.8 In 1911, shortly after rebuilding 4
Cousins Street, Mary and Frank sold the home to Mary Ann and John Tyburski for the
remainder of their mortgage, $1,600.9
The Tyburskis (1911-1913)
John Tyburski (1882 – Unknown) was born in Poland on December 27, 1882 to Mary
(Washlek) and Antoni Tyburski. At the age of 13, John immigrated to America, arriving in New
York City prior to Salem. In 1900, John petitioned for U.S. Citizenship citing his brother, Josef
(Joseph) Tyburski, of Herbert Street and Franciszek (Frank) Soboczinski of Webb Street as his

�witnesses.10 In 1908, John was married by Reverend John Czubek to Mary Jarocz, the daughter
of Josefa (née Lozdowska) and Mikolajah Jarocz, also from Poland.11 After living with John’s
family on Herbert Street, the couple purchased 4 Cousins Street in 1911, assuming the
remaining $1,600 mortgage of the Boyntons. When they sold the home only two years later,
they passed on a higher mortgage of $2,400.12 It is possible that this additional mortgage was
used to complete the renovation work begun by the Boyntons.
The Zbyszynskis (1913-1978)
Henryk “Henry” Zbyszynski (1882 – 1946) was born in Poland in 1882, to Petronela
(née Turowska) and Francis Zbyszynski. In 1905, he immigrated to the United States and
married Stefania Kozakiewicz (1885-1974), the daughter of Michalina (née Leczczynska) and
Michael Kozakiewicz. The couple was married at St. John the Baptist Church, in Salem, by Rev.
John Czubek on May 20, 1907.13 Together the couple had four children, Zenon (1909-1978),
Othelia “Tilly” (1911-Unknown), Theodosia (1913-1990), and Irene (1915-2009.) In 1913, Henry
and Stefania bought the home at 4 Cousins Street from the Tyburskis, assuming their $2,400

According to Salem Maritime National Historic Sites ethnography “In the Heart of Polish Salem,” both Josef

�mortgage. 14 While living in the home, Henry worked primarily in the leather industry and later
as salesman. Around 1936, Henry opened a grocery store at 5 ½ Becket Avenue. 15 Stefania
worked in the shop with her husband, while the children began working in local factories as
teenagers. Shortly after opening the grocery store, Stefania and Henry Zbyszynski moved into
the adjoining house at 5 Becket Avenue. They continued to own and rent units in 4 Cousins
Street, moving back into the home in 1948. Their son, Zenon continuously occupied one of the
units with his wife Ann and when Henry died in 1947, Stefania moved in with them. Overall the
Zbyszynskis owned 4 Cousins Street for sixty-five years, the longest occupants in the home’s
history. In 1978, the home was sold to William Little, following the death of Zenon Zbyszynski.
After 1978, the home went through a series of owners and foreclosures, falling into
disrepair. In 2015, 4 Cousins Street was purchased by Keith Crook (b. 1984) a marketing
specialist, and Oliver Kempf (b. 1990), an engineer. The couple spent the next few years
updating and restoring the three-family home, to include adding solar panels. During this
process, they discovered shoes hidden within a wall, a traditional practice meant to bring
protection and good luck to a home.16 The couple also unearthed items from the home’s privy
pit, including tea cups, pottery fragments, and medicine bottles. 17

�The house lot that we now think of as 47 Essex Street in Salem first starts to emerge in
the early nineteenth century, although no deed mentions a house standing on the property until
1872; city directories show that there was a dwelling house at 47 Essex by 1861. On June 9,
1804, Bernard and Lois Green and Mary Diman, singlewoman, all of Malden, sold “part of the
estate of the Rev. James Diman, given by will to his daughters Mary and Lois, bounded northerly
by the Rev. William Bentley’s meetinghouse, easterly on Hardy Street, southerly on land of said
Lois and Mary, westerly on land formerly Thomas Palfrey’s…” to Benjamin Hodges of Salem
(Essex Registry of Deed, Book 175, Page 24). The lot is described as running twenty-five feet
along Hardy Street and twenty-five feet across to the land of Rev. Bentley’s East (Unitarian)
Meetinghouse. It’s unclear how this parcel of land originally came into the possession of the
Rev. James Diman; Essex deeds list many variants of the name, of which Diamond is the most
common, and several property transactions for 18th century Diamonds appear in the records,
though none grant property to James Diman.
The Diman heirs sold the lot to Benjamin Hodges and it passed into the hands of the
widow Mary Silsbee and two singlewomen (most likely her sisters), Hannah and Elizabeth
Hodges. These were probably the daughters of Benjamin Hodges, though deeds to not confirm
this, and they sold the lot to a group of men heavily involved in Salem’s East Meetinghouse:
Thomas Downing, William Hunt, William B. Parker, and William Webb, Jr., for $215 on May
28th, 1846 (Registry of Deeds, Book 368, Pages 123-124). The East Meetinghouse was moving
and was busily engaging in property sales at this time, and when the lot was sold again, it was
reconfigured to include land from the former meetinghouse lot that had been conveyed to the
same group of men just a few weeks earlier. On September 23, 1847, the same four men (with
�two of their wives) sold to William H. Lovejoy, Gentleman, ‘a parcel of land...between Hardy
and Bentley Streets... at the northwestern corner of land of Ebenezer Slocum, thence running
northerly by said Bentley Street as recently widened by the city, to Essex Street…” and on to
Hardy Street. This deed describes the land as “estates conveyed to us by Benjamin Upton and
other Committee of the East Society” as well as the Silsbee-Hodges women, so it’s clear that the
lot now included some of the East Meetinghouse property that once adjoined it (Registry of
Deeds, Book 378, Page 9). William H. Lovejoy paid $1134 for his new property; given the
dramatic difference in the price paid by for the property after less than a year and a half, the lot
must have expanded considerably.
Lovejoy and his wife Maria did not keep all of this property long; they sold a portion of
“the estate conveyed to me by Thomas Downing and others” to William M. Harrow of Salem,
Mariner, on September 23, 1847, for $700 (Registry of Deeds, Book 403, Page 88). The
dimensions described in this deed are very much as they remain in every transaction to follow:
33’10” along northerly Essex Street, 92’ along Bentley Street, 39’6” along the southerly edge of
the property, and 91” along the easterly edge. William Harrow might have expected to return to
Salem when he purchased this property, but perhaps seafaring or the California Gold Rush
changed his plans. When he sold the property on July 24, 1854, he is described as “of the city of
Sacramento, State of California” (Registry of Deeds, Book 498, Page 160). The property was
purchased by J. Lovett Whipple for $900.
It seems to be J. Lovett Whipple who finally decided to build a house on this
much-handled chunk of land. No building is mentioned when he purchased the house from
William Harrow, but when it was next sold in 1872, the property is described as “a certain plot of
�land with a dwelling house thereon.” Given the architectural style of the house, a date of
1854-1872 makes perfect sense. Jonathan Lovett Whipple was thirty years old when he
purchased the land on which he presumably planned to build his own home. The fourth of seven
children of Jonathan and Mary Cloutman Whipple, he was born April 19, 1824, in Salem (unless
otherwise noted, birth, marriage, and death dates are derived from the Salem Vital Records). In
1846, the “Naumkeag Directory,” the 19th century forerunner of the city telephone directory,
lists J. Lovett Whipple as a turner living, most appropriately, at 33 Turner Street in Salem. This
is the same address listed for his sister Mary Elisa, a “tailoress,” and for J. Lovett and his mother
in 1851. Two of his brothers, “Stephen Whipple & Brother,” ran a gum copal works at 35 Turner
Street, and their house is listed as 12 Hardy Street (theri father, Jonathan Whipple, is listed as
proprietor in 1846, when Stephen is still described as a carpenter). The 1850 Directory also
informs us that J. Lovett Whipple was treasurer of the Second Universalist church and a fireman
serving as clerk of Engine No. 4, the “Lafayette.” When J. Lovett Whipple bought the property at
47 Essex, he was investing in a neighborhood that he knew well, positioned very close to his
own family. He may have been preparing for his own wedding when he bought the property, as
he married Emma N. Dodge in South Danvers (now Peabody) on September 18, 1855, and
together they had three children. It seems likely the Whipples built their house around this time.
Sadly, it appears their happiness did not last long: J. Lovett Whipple died in Salem in
May 1860, aged only 36. The cause of death is listed as consumption (tuberculosis), an epidemic
disease in 19th century America; Whipple’s younger brother George Augustus died of it in 1841,
almost twenty years earlier. Probate records describe J. Lovett Whipple as a wheelwright (a trade
certainly encompassing his previously listed trade as a turner), though his death record describes
�him as working in his brother’s trade, gum copal. Gum copal is a tropical resin that was used as a
wood varnish, so there may in fact be a link between the trades. His estate was valued at
$3,757.77, and his widow paid off debts to both his sister Mary and several different creditors,
ranging from two local doctors (perhaps those who attended J. Lovett Whipple’s final illness) to
the Salem Register subscription to taxes and insurance. A few items were sold, including a
“daguerretype machine” sold at a profit of $2.
The “Naumkeag Directory” shows that the houses around 47 Essex were occupied by a
mixed array of sea captains, mariners, and skilled tradespeople during the 1860s. “Mrs. J. Lovett
Whipple” is listed at 47 Essex Street in 1861, demonstrating that there was indeed a house on the
property by 1861. Emma Dodge Whipple’s brothers-in-law, Albert and Stephen Whipple, were
still running their gum copal works at 35 Turner Street, but Albert’s house is listed as 45 Essex
Street. Perhaps it was a comfort to Emma Whipple to remain next door to her husband’s brother
while raising three young children. Even if so, she decided to remarry, probably in about five
years after J Lovett Whipple’s death.: Emma N. Whipple of MAssachusetts married Moses W.
George of Plymouth, New Hampshire, on December 18, 1865 (Moses W. George is later
referenced alongside one of the Whipple sons in a deed for 47 Essex Street). “Mrs. J. Lovett
Whipple” is still listed in residence at 47 Essex Street in the Naumkeag Directory for 1866;
perhaps the couple decided to live in Emma Whipple’s own home, or perhaps the late December
wedding simply wasn’t reflected in the city directory.
On October 4, 1872, J. Lovett Whipple’s widow, now Emma N. George, sold the house
on behalf of her three children, Lovett D., Frank M., and Emma E. Whipple, all three of whom
were still legally minors (Registry of Deeds, Book 866, Page 70). The former Mrs. Whipple, now
�guardian of her three children, relinquished her own right of dower to the property and
auctioned it to the highest bidder. It sold to Mrs. Caroline M. Gage, wife of Andrew F. Gage of
Salem, “in her own right without interference or control of her husband’ for $5700. The house
and plot of land passed from one woman to another. One may have sold it of necessity in order to
support her children’s future, while another purchased it for her own pleasure or support.
According to the 1870 U.S. Census, Caroline M. Gage was born in Maine and lived in Ward 1 in
Salem (which included 47 Essex), keeping house for her husband Andrew, the superintendent of
a paint factory, and their teenage children Flora and George. She would have been about 47
years old when she bought the house in 1872, though her reasons and resources for the purchase
are unknown.
The property remained in the hands of Caroline Gage and her heirs until 1906, when Mrs.
Gage’s heirs sold it to Patrick Joseph Kelley (Registry of Deeds Book 1851, Pages 13-15). Alice
R. Meek of Salem, Arthur B. and Carrie Spaulding of Peabody, and Mary Gage of Duluth,
Minnesota (all single) sold “part of the real estate devised to us by Caroline M. Gage” in October
1906. This marked the transfer of 47 Essex Street not only from one family to another, but from
Anglo-Americans to Irish Americans, from one well-established ethnic group to more recent
immigrants. The house was eventually inherited by Patrick Kelley’s daughter, Ruth M. Harrison,
who retained possession until 1952.
Ruth Harrison sold the house and lot to husband and wife Theodore F. and Amelia F.
Buchynski of Hamilton, who bought, sold, and mortgaged several properties in both Hamilton
and Salem in the 1950s (Registry of Deeds Book 3941, Page 472). The eastern end of Essex and
�Derby Streets was a Slavic immigrant neighborhood in the first half of the 20th century; perhaps
the Buchynskis had family connections to the neighborhood.
In 1958, Amelia Buchynski sold the house to Vienna C. Tarchini (Registry of Deeds
Book 4439, Page 412). When Tarchini sold the house in turn to Henry Hilder in 1985, she
reserved the right to “occupy, use, and enjoy said premises for her lifetime” (Registry of Deeds
Book 7965, Page 102). Eight years later, Hilder sold the house to Peter A. Sholds and Mary
Frances Sholds.

�Here’s a bit of the history of the house through word and deeds:
I have an original Warranty Deed that indicates there was a house on this parcel of land that was sold on
December 19, 1910 by Lewis H Richards of Lynn, Ira G Taylor and his wife Sarah E Taylor of Salem and
E Osgood Richards, also of Salem, to Paul N Chaput of Salem for "one dollar and other valuable
considerations."
Then I have original mortgage papers showing that my maternal grandfather, Giuseppe Giunta
(misspelled as Guinta on most documents), took out a $2,600 loan from Salem Co-operative Bank for that
house on April 15, 1911.
I have another $600 mortgage between my grandfather and Paul N Chaput dated July 18, 1911 that
indicates there were actually two mortgages from Salem Co-op totaling $3,200. This mortgage is stamped
July 18, 1911 by the registry of Deeds and again on June 16, 1914 which is probably when it was paid off
because the Salem Co-Op mortgage shows that theirs was discharged on June 13, 1914.
Unfortunately, the Great Salem Fire destroyed that house just days after my grandfather paid off the
mortgage.
That takes us to this present house. We were always told that “your grandfather built the house". Whether
that means he literally built it or had it built for him, I do not know. I assume it was a bit of both since he
didn't have a load of money and probably worked on it to keep costs down. He may have employed
friends and family from the old country. The present house has interior details like many houses in the
area – I’m assuming some materials were supplied to people after the fire.
My grandfather was a gardener in Sicily who came here and worked as a caretaker for homes in
Marblehead. He made wine in the cellar wine press which is literally built into the foundation of this
house. Many other houses here have wine presses. During Prohibition the Salem Police looked away
while wine was being produced by the many Italian families here, and then often came calling for a bottle
or two.
I have original papers from Salem Five for a $3,500 mortgage dated Nov 25, 1916. That was paid off on
May 25, 1927 and I have papers for another $3,500 mortgage taken out on June 25, 1927 that was
discharged on October 2, 1985.
Long before 1985, in May of 1918, shortly after his new house was built, my grandfather was riding his
bike up Lafayette. At the corner of Ocean, he was struck by a motorcyclist, smacked his head on a trolley
rail and died on site. So, after struggling to get to America, buy a house, get his family over here and build
a new house – he had but a couple years to enjoy it.
My grandmother was left with seven children. She spoke no English and was pregnant with my Mom at
the time, who was subsequently born in the house in July of 1918. That whole clan grew up in this present
house, mostly on the first floor, with occasional boarders on the second. Various other relatives and
friends lived here when they came over from the old country or just needed a temporary stay. It was a
crowded, lively and loving home for generations.
�When my Mom got married, she and my Dad moved upstairs in the house where they raised my brother,
sister and me. In 2006, when her sister Katherine died at 100 years old, she and my Dad moved
downstairs. After returning from 30 years in New York City I moved in upstairs in 2017.
In 2016, my Mom died - in the same room she was born. She was the last of that Giunta generation.

ARCHITECTURAL DESCRIPTION
Describe architectural features.
Evaluate
the characteristics
of the building
in terms of other buildings
within the
community.
Setback on a narrow lot which it shares with 86 Federal Street, 84 Federal Street is a modest, 2 1/2-story, Queen Anne-style
dwelling. The building is sheathed i n a combination o f wood clapboards and wood shingles and is capped by an asphalt roof
with an off-ridge brick criirnney. Dominating the gablefront is a two-story, three-sided bay window which is capped by a
flared-hip roof and lit by wide 1/1 windows. T o the west of the bay window is a single-story porch which fronts the
remainder o f the facade as well as the west elevation. The porch is supported by Roman Doric columns which rest on a
wood-shingled wall. The sidehall entrance contains a glass-and-panel front door. Adjacent is an oval, stained-glass window
accented by four keystones. The remaining windows are primarily 1/1 sash. A tri-partite window consisting o f a 1/1 sash
flanked by two narrow 1/1 windows is centered in the gable, flanked by fishscale wood shingles. The triangular section in the
top of the gable is extended forward and there is a pent roof at the base, enclosing the gable. Projecting from the east
elevation is a two-story cross gable.
The house is setback from the street with an asphalt driveway extending in front o f the house. A low brick w a l l and
ornamental plantings are immediately adjacent to the building. A chain link fence marks the boundary between 84 Federal
Street and its neighbor to the east.
HISTORICAL NARRATIVE
Describe the history of the building.
Explain
its associations
with local (or state) history. Include uses of the building
and
the role(s) the owners/occupants played within the community.
The house at 84 Federal Street was constructed in 1899 for A l v i n J. Mooney. The building was constructed on the site of the
former b a m associated with 86 Federal Street, owned in 1897 by M r s . Louise Mooney. Mooney, a conductor for the B & M
Railroad, had this house (originally known as 86 1/2 Federal) constructed for his own use. The adjacent house at 86 Federal
was then rented out. A l v i n Mooney continued to occupy 84 Federal until 1944. M a b e l W a r d lived here from 1945-1948 and
Charles McTiernan, a station engineer, and his wife, A l i c i a , lived here from 1950 until about 1965.
