�Built by Daniel Gregg, housewright, c.1804-1805
Expanded or rebuilt by John Stone between 1825-1839
1. March 15, 1804- Essex Registry of Deeds Book 173, Page 170: Jonathan Neal of Salem
sells property on Chestnut Street measuring 30 feet x 94 feet x 30 feet x 88 feet to
Daniel Gregg of Salem, housewright, for $561.56. The deed contains a right of way over
a passage measuring 10 feet, 6 inches over Benjamin Daland’s land to the west, so long
as it “shall be occupied as a site for a meetinghouse, but no longer” (this right of way is
included in deeds to the property into the 1920s). It includes “granted premises with the
appurtenances” but makes no mention of a dwelling house or any other buildings.
2. October 31, 1805- Essex Registry of Deeds Book 177, Page 70: Daniel Gregg
mortgages the property “together with the brick building thereon” back to Jonathan Neal
for $2,200.00
3. February 19, 1814- Essex Registry of Deeds Book 201, Page 296: Daniel Gregg, now of
Charlestown, sells the property outright of Jonathan Neal, merchant, for $1100.00. The
deed still includes “the brick building thereon” and explains that the premises are the
same that he mortgaged in 1805.
4. October 11, 1825- Essex Registry of Deeds Book 238, Page 247: Jonathan Neal sells
the property to John Stone alongside two other parcels of land on Chestnut and Summer
Streets for $6000.00. The property includes a “one story brick dwelling house and all
other buildings thereon.” It’s hard to tell if this is the current house, later expanded, or
not. When Jonathan Neal, Sr.’s estate was being settled in 1816 and land was
transferred between his sons Jonathan Jr. and Joseph, Jonathan Jr. is described as a
bricklayer (see Essex Registry of Deeds Book 210, Pages 254-255). If this is the same
person, he may have played a role in the construction. The eastern boundary is four feet
shorter, at 84 feet, in this deed than previously; the deed states a survey of all the land
sold therin was taken by Jonathan P. Saunders, Esq., on October 6, 1825.
5. April 9, 1839- Essex Registry of Deeds, Book 312, Page 170: John H. Stone of Calais,
Maine, and Lucy P. Stone of Salem sell their interest in the property, including “a brick
dwelling house,” to Henry O. Stone of Salem, Gentleman, for $1866.86, “meaning to
convey each of us one undivided third of said estate only...the said Henry O. Being
seized if one undivided part third thereof.”
6. June 1, 1850- Essex Registry of Deeds Book 429, Page 208: Henry Orne Stone of
Framingham, physician, sells the property to George C Hodgdon of Salem, currier, for
3500.00. The deed specifies that the property was owned by Stone’s father, John, and
conveyed to him by siblings John H. and Lucy P.
7. July 19, 1852- Essex Registry of Deeds, Book 464, Page 12: Henry Poor of Danvers and
Elijah A. Hawson of Salem, “Assignees of George C. Hodgdon, an insolvent debtor
under proceedings of insolvency,” release the property to Hodgdon for $4000.00.
8. July 19, 1852- Essex Registry of Deeds, Book 464, Page 13: George C. Hodgdon of
Salem, merchant, sells the property to James P. Thorndike of Boston, merchant, for
$4000.00.
�9. October 17, 1859- Essex Registry of Deeds Book 596, Page 80: James P. Thorndike
sells the property to Sarah Rea Mansfield, wife of Daniel H. Mansfield, for $3500.00 for
her “sole and separate use, free any interference or control of her present for any future
husband.”
10. April 21, 1871- Essex Registry of Deeds Book 829, Page 98: Sarah Rea and Daniel
Mansfield sell the property to E.C. Bolles of Brooklyn, New York, for $6100.00.
11. July 27, 1889- Essex Registry of Deeds Book 1254, Page 491: Edwin C. Bolles of New
York City sells the property to Jennie M. Emmerton of Salem for $1.00.

and his wife Annie B. Shattuck of Topsfield sell the property, together with parcels of
land on Turner Street and Federal Street, to Caroline O. Emmerton if Salem. Caroline
Emmerton and Annie Shattuck were daughters of Jennie Emmerton; Jennie Emmerton’s
will was probated in Essex County in 1912, according to the deed. The property is now
described as 36 feet wide rather than 30 feet wide.
13. June 2, 1923- Essex Registry of Deeds Book 2556, Page 482: Caroline O. Emmerton
sells the property to Helen J. O’Connor; grantor and grantee agree to split the taxes and
water rates for the year 1923.
14. December 18, 1972- Essex Registry of Deeds, Book 5934, Page 534: Sumner L.
Raymond and Merchants-Warren National Bank of Salem, executors of the estate of the
late Helen J. O’Connor, sell the property to the State Street Bank and Trust and Charles
Y. Wadsworth of Boston, under Declaration and Agreement of the Trust of Mary Silver
Smith (see Book 05936, Page 694, December 21, 1964), for $76,000.00. The property’s
dimensions are now larger, including land purchased by Helen J. O’Connor of the
Chestnut Street Associates on June 11, 1963 (see Book 5073, Page 311).
15. August 26, 1988- Essex Registry of Deeds Book 09682, Page 020: State Street Bank

�The house at 144-146 Federal Street in Salem, Massachusetts was built for shipmaster
Captain Thomas Whittredge and his wife Sarah, around 1802. It is located on the northeastern
corner of Federal Street and Flint Street (originally known as Dean Street). i
The Whittredge house was built in the Federal style, which was the prevailing American
architectural style between around 1780 and 1820, particularly popular along the eastern
seaboard in port cities. The lot on which it is situated is 8,825 square feet, and the house
measures 5 X 3 bays. ii The house is a three-story wood-frame building with clapboard siding and
has a brick chimney on both the east and west sides of the house. It has a low-pitch hipped roof,
which is the subtype of Federal houses most common to New England. iiiiv Three-story hippedroof Federal houses in particular have “an unusually important concentration in the town of
Salem, Massachusetts,” and are usually “of landmark quality.” v Originally, the house had outbuildings, including a shed, and a two-story stables on the northern end of the lot. vi It has a low
foundation made of granite with three granite front steps leading directly from the sidewalk to
the front door.vii viii While almost all of the characteristics of the house match typical Federal
style elements, the low foundation with no porch is one holdover from the preceding Georgian
style.ix
The front door has six panels and is surrounded by two Doric half-round and fluted
pilasters which support a triangular denticulated broken pediment. x Above the door is an
elliptical fanlight with five segments. xixii There is a similar six-panel door on the east side of the
house with pilasters supporting a less elaborate triangular pediment. This door also has three
granite steps extending down to the walkway.
On the front façade, the windows are singly-placed, five-ranked, and balanced
symmetrically with the front door in the center. xiii The third floor is a foreshortened story, and
�thus the windows are shorter than on the first and second floors. xiv Each window has a doublehung 6/6 sash, which is a window made up of six panes separated by muntins, or thin wooden
supports, above another set of six panes. xv By the late 1990s, the house was vacant, and the
windows were empty and boarded up. xvi Since then, they have been reinstalled and restored to
their original style.
During this architectural era, according to Virginia McAlester in A Field Guide to
American Houses, “the first true architects appeared on the American scene.” xvii One of the few
most notable in the country was an architect from Salem, named Samuel McIntire. He was a
master at the Georgian and Federal style of architecture, and several of his works remain in
Salem today. According to Bryant F. Tolles, in Architecture in Salem, An Illustrated Guide, his
greatest achievements came during this mid-Federal period between 1800 and 1815. xviii He was
particularly attracted to the Federal Street area, because of its “elegant streetscape” and was hired
by merchants to build their mansions there. xix The Whittredge House is part of the McIntire
Historic District. The McIntire-designed Samuel Cook/Henry Oliver House is next door at 142
Federal Street, and features some of his famous wood carving. xx Aspects of the Whittredge
House and original stable “show close relationship with McIntire’s work,” according to Fiske
Kimball, an architectural historian, though Kimball was not able to find specific evidence of a
connection.xxi The Whittredge House, and the Federal style in general, share similarities with the
earlier Georgian style, but are a refinement of the style. Houses of the mid-Federal period, are
described as “having a lightness and delicacy in comparison with their close Georgian relatives”
and “the exteriors… have few elaborations other than the fanlight and accentuated front door,”
which fits the Whittredge House perfectly.xxii This new refined architectural development
�borrowed from European styles of the time and was first used by wealthy merchants on the New
England coast, like Thomas Whittredge himself.
Thomas Whittredge was born on May 2, 1766 in Salem, Massachusetts. xxiii Sarah Waters
was born in 1766 in Danvers, Massachusetts to Abel Waters and Lydia (Trask) Waters. xxiv Sarah
married Thomas in Danvers on November 11, 1793 when they were both 28 years old. xxv The
two lived in Danvers in the early years of their marriage, and had three children before building
and moving to their mansion on Federal Street. Henry Trask Whittredge was the first, born
December 29, 1794, followed by Eliza, born November 25, 1796, Thomas Cook, born May 27,
1799, and Edward A., born December 15, 1801.
Thomas Whittredge was a Master Mariner, or Shipmaster, and traded in the mid-Atlantic
states.xxvi He was part of Salem’s proud and important history as a seaport, participating in it
during a time when the merchant culture and rich commerce were at their prime in the town.
According to the History of Essex County, Massachusetts published in 1888, “From the close of
the War of the Revolution until the embargo in 1808, Salem was at the height of her commercial
prosperity. The white sails of Salem’s ships were unfurled in every port of the known worlds and
carried the fame and name of Salem to the uttermost parts of the earth.” xxvii While Whittredge
perhaps was not quite as rich or well-known as some of the other merchants in town, he did a
good business and was quite wealthy, owning real estate not only at the Federal Street property,
but elsewhere in Salem, and in neighboring towns such as Peabody. xxviii
Whittredge was part owner of many ships that sailed from Salem. The 1906 Ship
Registers of the District of Salem and Beverly, Massachusetts, 1789-1900 lists him as an owner
of two vessels that served as privateers in the War of 1812; the Alexander carried twenty guns
and one hundred fifty-five men before being captured on May 19, 1813, and the Buckskin, a
�schooner, carried five guns and fifty men, and was captured by the British Frigate Statira on
August 7, 1812. He was also an owner of the Andrew Jackson, after its capture in the war,
registering it as a merchant ship when the war was over. Earlier in his career, Whittredge was
also an owner of the Clarissa, registered in 1794, and the Argo, registered in 1808. Whittredge’s
will and other documents reveal interest in ships not mentioned in this register as well. xxix The
ship register shows a chart of private signals from commercial houses, which includes an image
of Whittredge’s signal, shown below. xxx
In the mid-eighteenth century, Joseph Dean owned a large piece of land in Salem, just
south of the North River. The road to the west of this land was named for him for nearly a
century. When he died, he left it to his son John Dean, who in turn sold it to Joseph Sprague on
October 25, 1774.xxxi During that time, Federal Street was laid on the southern border of this
land, named in 1792, and a bustling community of merchant families was created. Sprague, also
a merchant, sold a piece of his land which would become 144-146 Federal Street, to Thomas
Whittredge on November 30, 1799 for six hundred and twenty-five dollars.xxxii This original deed
describes the boundaries of the land, which have remained unchanged to this day. It explains that
the western edge of the land was bounded by Dean Street (later Flint Street) and ran one hundred
and fifty-one feet. The north end was bounded by a school house’s land and ran forty-six feet,
eight inches. The east end was bounded by more land that still belonged to Sprague, and ran one
�hundred and fifty-one feet, equal to the western side. The southern border was a little longer than
the northern border, spanning sixty-one feet, one inch, and was, and still is, bounded by Federal
Street. Whittredge had the mansion built soon after purchasing the land, and it was completed
around 1802.xxxiii
The image below, from an 1890 Sanborn Fire Insurance Map, shows the border of the
property, along with its original buildings, including the two-story stable on the northern border.
Behind the lot is the school house property mentioned in the deed, which had been turned into a
six-dwelling tenement house by 1859. xxxiv (The top of the image is East.)
xxxv
After moving into the new house, Thomas and Sarah Whittredge’s fourth child, Edward,
died on August 25, 1803 at only twenty months of age.xxxvi The next year, however, their
youngest, Sarah, was born on November 1, 1804. The children were all raised in the Federal
Street mansion, and Thomas Whittredge lived there with his wife until he died at age 63 on
September 16, 1829 of “mortification of toes and foot.” xxxvii
In his will, Whittredge stated, “I give and devise to my wife Sarah the mansion house,
buildings, and land under and adjoining the same where I now dwell.” Sarah Whittredge
continued to live in the house until 1841, when she transferred the deed of mortgage to her
�daughter Sarah W. Osborne, and son-in-law, George S. Osborne, a physician from Danvers. xxxviii
Sarah Whittredge then moved to Danvers, where she died on August 16, 1845 at age seventyeight after a “bowel complaint.” xxxix
Upon her death, she left the property equally to her daughter, Sarah W. Osborne, and her
granddaughter, Elizabeth Williams (the daughter of Thomas Cook Whittredge, and wife of
Henry S. Williams). xl The following year, Sarah Osborne paid her niece Elizabeth Williams two
thousand dollars to purchase her half of the property. As of March 25, 1846, the house belonged
entirely to Thomas and Sarah Whittredge’s daughter, Sarah W. Osborne, and her husband
George.xli
Though the house was in the family for four generations, Thomas and Sarah Whittredge
appear to be the only family members who actually lived in the house as adults. Beginning in the
1850s, the house was split up and rented out, first as a two-family dwelling, and later into
tenement rooms. Around this time, Salem’s booming commerce and shipping economy began to
decline a bit; fewer stately mansions were being built, those that were built were instead erected
further inland, and many existing mansions were being repurposed for other uses. In a 1914
book, Historic Homes of New England, Mary H. Northend laments the end of a romantic era of
young merchants and “jolly sailor lads… bound for Kit’s Dancing Hall,” and the long-closure of
local Inns. Further, she complains that “the large, square homes of yesterday are now
degenerated into tenement houses.” xlii
While this shift may have seemed like a negative one to some in Salem, it is likely a
major reason that some houses such as the Whittredge House remained standing for so long.
Additionally, although none so lucrative as the merchant career of Thomas Whittredge, many of
the house’s residents owned successful businesses in various trades.
�The first renters kept the merchant community alive, as they were both sea captains
themselves. By 1851, Sarah and George Osborne were renting out the house to Captain John Day
on the 144 Federal Street side, and Captain Richard Matthews at 146 Federal Street. xliii The 1851
survey map shows Day and Matthews’ names as owners of the property’s buildings (and the
existing MACRIS record cites Day as owner because of this), however the map must be referring
solely to the house’s residents at the time, as it was still owned by the Osbornes. xliv
In 1860, Xenophon Hector Shaw and his wife Eliza began renting the 144 Federal side of
the house. Xenophon was born on October 28, 1799 in Middlesex, Massachusetts, and Eliza was
born August 16, 1801 in Salem. xlv xlviThe two married on July 1, 1821. xlvii By the time they
moved to the Whittredge house, the couple was older and had three grown children, Mary Shaw,
Brown Emerson Shaw and Hannah Tappan,.xlviii Eliza died just seven years later on November
14, 1868. Eventually Xenophon’s daughter Mary Shaw moved into the house and is listed as a
boarder and housekeeper in the city directories between 1870 and 1886. xlix The two lived in the
house until Xenophon’s death on December 7, 1886. Xenophon owned a picture framing and
gilding business with his son Brown Emerson Shaw, called Xenophon H. and Son. The business
was established in 1820, when Xenophon himself was just twenty years old, so was likely
already a family business. Brown continued the family business with his sister Mary after their
father’s death until 1896, which is the last year it is listed in the directory. l They had large
advertisements placed in several of the Salem City Directories between the 1860s and 1890s.
Shown below is their ad from 1886. li
�By 1866, on the 146 Federal side, Daniel Frye Nichols had moved in with his family.
Daniel was born in 1805 and was married to Lydia F. Cheever (born 1806) on August 8, 1827 in
Salem.lii Similar to the Shaws, the couple moved into the Whittredge house as an older couple
with adult children. In this case, many of their adult children moved with them into the house,
including Randle, Lydia, Abbie, Benjamin, and Henry C. Nichols, all between the ages of twenty
and thirty-four. Daniel F. Nichols made his living as a tanner, working in the tanneries on the
North River near the house. liii In another similarity to the Shaw’s side of the building, Lydia died
only a few years after moving in, on September 1, 1872 at age sixty-six of unknown causes.
By 1880, though Daniel still lived in the house, his son Henry C. Nichols had taken over
as the head of household at 146 Federal Street, living there with his wife Mary, and young son
Edward.liv The Henry Nichols family lived in the house until 1889, following the death of Daniel
Nichols on October 8, 1888. Abby F. Nichols, Henry’s older sister, also continued to live in the
house as a boarder until 1889.
While the Nichols and Shaw families lived in the house, house owners Sarah Whittredge
Osborne died on February 17, 1883 and her husband George Osborne died on September 21,
1882. Upon their deaths, they left the property to their two children George S. Osborne, and
�Eliza D. Shepard. lv The two were “tenants in common” and continued to live elsewhere and rent
out the building until Eliza’s death in 1930.lvi
In 1890, James H. Fitzpatrick moved to 146 Federal, though only for a short time. lvii In
1895, William Sheehan, a physician, moved into the home. William married Katherine C. Anglin
in 1909. Beginning in the 1912 city directory, “K.C. Sheehan” is also listed with William, also as
a physician.lviii This is clearly referring to Katherine, who was also a doctor. In the 1924
directory, her name is listed with William’s in its entirety, both as physicians. lix In the
directories, William gives his office hours next to their address, so it seems he may have visited
patients at the home. lx The couple raised five children in the home and lived there until
William’s death in 1924. Katherine was there for two more years on her own, still practicing
medicine, before moving to another house. lxi
When she died in 1930, owner Eliza D. Shepard left the property to her two children,
Thomas O. Shepard, and Sarah W. Shepard. They never lived there, nor do they seem to have
rented it out, as during their brief ownership the city directory lists the house as vacant. lxii Neither
Thomas nor Sarah ever married or had children, living together until they died. Thus, this is
where ownership of the house left the Whittredge family line.
Thomas and Sarah sold the house to Francis J. Murphy and his wife Louise in 1931, not
long after inheriting it.lxiii Francis was a leatherworker, born July 16, 1899, who married Louise
M. Brophy in 1926.lxiv The two had a daughter, Mary, in 1929, and purchased the Federal Street
home on April 7, 1931.lxv They lived there with their daughter and a servant, eventually giving
birth to a son, Frances.lxvi It seems that they preferred to use the house for only their family
instead of renting it out to tenants, as Francis Murphy is listed as the only occupant of both 144
and 146 Federal Street on the city directories of this time. lxvii They lived in the house until about
�1945, before moving elsewhere in Salem. In 1945, the house was rented out as furnished
tenement rooms, advertised by Laura M. Smith in the city directory, who also lived in the house,
and must have managed the tenants for the owners. lxviii In 1945, there were many tenants,
including Nathan Tucker, Florence and Silvio Landry, Julia Symonds and her husband Frank, a
lathe hand, and widow Marie Maillet. lxix
The Murphys sold the house soon after turning it into tenements, on April 27, 1946 to
Joseph and Tekla Rostkowski, a couple from Poland.lxx They owned the house for just over a
year, and it doesn’t appear that they ever lived there themselves. Laura M. Smith continued to
advertise furnished rooms at the house during this time, until the next owner took over the job
herself. Esther M. and Thomas F. Henry purchased the house on June 25, 1947 and continued to
rent out furnished rooms, advertising them in the directory, while also living there themselves. lxxi
Thomas Henry was born June 5, 1920 in Peabody, and Esther Trabucco, known as Babe,
was born October 8, 1919 in Beverly. lxxii They were married in 1941 in Salem, and had four
children, Thomas, Michael, Barbara, and Patricia. Thomas was enlisted in the army as a private
on October 9, 1944 for the duration of the war; his cemetery marker shows him as a Technician
Fifth Grade. When not serving, Thomas was an engineer at New England Instruments, and
Esther started Henry Associates, a real estate business, in addition to managing tenants in her
home.lxxiii
Below is a picture of Esther and three of their children in 1944, and a picture of Thomas
in 1945.
�The Henry’s tenants listed between 1946 and 1950 are Frank and Julia Symonds;
Josephine Rostkowski, a payroll clerk at John Lynn and Sons, incorporated, and her husband
John; Clifford M. Smith, a machinist; Donald and Doris Haskell; Marie Henry; Mary McGrath;
George Angelico; Joseph Angelico; Mary Kelly; Albert and Ruth Thibodeau; Kenneth Shepard,
a cable splicer at NET&T Company; a nurse, Mrs. Ellen Linscomb; Constance “Connie” Clay, a
telephone operator at NET&T Company, and her husband Leo, a contractor; and several
employees of the Sylvania light bulb factory, Augusta V. Rostkowski, Alice M. Rostkowski,
Robert O. Westman, and Esther Crowell. lxxiv
Additionally, four members of the United States Coast Guard Air Station lived in rooms
in the house at the same time, three of them with their wives. Between 1935 and 1970, Winter
Island, off the coast of Salem, was the site of a United States Coast Guard Air Station, which
patrolled the northeastern shore by plane, “responding to emergency calls off the Atlantic Coast
�from as far south as Connecticut and as far north as Halifax… the men bravely saved dozens of
lives at sea, and risked their own,” according to Salem collector and history writer, Nelson
Dionne.lxxv The USCG Air Station aviators who lived in the Whittredge House beginning in 1949
are Wilbur Stanley, and his wife Eileen, Clarence W. Stanley, Cecil R. Furr, and his wife Jean,
and Paul H. Lavallee and his wife Beatrice. lxxvi
Owners Thomas and Esther Henry lived in the house until Thomas’ death on March 31,
1983, though it isn’t clear for how long its rooms were rented out, as the city directories stop
listing its residents in the 1950s. lxxvii By the 1990s, Esther was no longer living in the Whittredge
House, and it was no longer kept up. In 1997, when the MACRIS report was made, the house’s
windows were gone and had been boarded up.lxxviii
On March 26, 1998, current owners Michaeline D. La Roche and her husband Robert J.
Ouellette purchased the house and land from Esther Henry. Since then, its traditional windows
have been replaced, and the exterior restored, and the house at 144-146 Federal Street remains a
beautiful and historic example of Salem’s Federal architecture, a monument to the maritime
history of Salem.

�Historic Salem, Inc. | House Report
Part I: 1843-1851
One of Salem’s oldest families, the Pickering family, owned the land that 58 Endicott Street now
stands on, historically called the Broadfields. The home which now stands at 58 Essex Street in
Salem, Massachusetts was built as part of a development in 1925 of the even-side lots Endicott
Street by local real estate developer, Morris Gerber. The foundation on which the house at 58
Endicott now stands, however, dates to 1846, when the property was built and owned by painter
and glazier Jesse Punchard. Punchard purchased the lots from John Pickering and built a small
dwelling house that he likely lived in while building a larger two-family home at the corner of
Endicott and Winthrop Streets.
The 1840s in Salem proved to be an opportune time for a new generation of skilled and unskilled
laborers, industrial engineers, entrepreneurs, and the like. In mid-1843 one such man, Jesse S.
Punchard, a window glazier and painter, took an opportunity to purchase land from John
Pickering for $162 in the rapidly developing ‘Broadfields’ neighborhood at the corner of two
newly-named paths called Winthrop and Endicott. By 1843 John Pickering (now living in Boston)
had parceled off most of the Family’s land, including a plot sold to Jesse Smith Punchard,
recorded in the Southern Essex Registry of Deeds, Book 337, Page 242.
… unto the said Punchard a certain piece of land situate in said Salem described
as follows. Viz. Commencing at the Southwest bound and running Northerly
forty one feet by a private way forty feet wide called Winthrop Street; thence
Easterly about ninety two feet by other land of mine, thence Southerly forty feet
by land of Henry J. Lane, thence Westerly eighty three feet by a private way
forty feet wide called Endicott Street to the point commenced at.
According to contemporaneous records, Jesse Punchard began building the first of two homes
on this property — a larger two-family at 15 Winthrop Street, followed shortly thereafter in 1846
by a small single-family home intended to be a rental property. The smaller single-family home
was likely a front-gabled vernacular form of the Greek Revival style, also called the ‘National
Style’ at the time for its popularity the 1830s-1850s throughout the newly-formed United States.
The single-family foundation (originally numbered 60 Endicott) can still be found underneath
the present structure at 58 Endicott Street.

�Historic Salem, Inc. | House Report
Prior to owning the property on the corner of Winthrop and Endicott Streets, Jesse Punchard
had been a boarder at 21 Green Street before his marriage to Olive S. Lewis. The two would be
wed in January 1844, just six months after Jesse’s purchase of the land from John Pickering. The
couple likely moved into the larger two-family home on the corner of Winthrop Street while
Jesse finished building the income property dwelling house at 60 Endicott Street. The property
description is confirmed through the 1851 Salem Atlas, created from a survey published the same
year by Henry McIntyre, which shows the Punchard property on the corners of Winthrop and
Endicott Streets.

The first tenants to occupy the property at 60 Endicott included the families of William Moore
and Charles Jesbro, according to the 1846 Tax Valuations of the City and the 1847 Salem Street
Book archives. Unfortunately, there is no other record in Salem of Charles Jesbro to be found.
William Moore was born in England in 1790, made his way to Salem as an adult, and earned a
living as a laborer. He was married to Hannah F. Ross on the 27th of August 1846, the same year
Moore is first recorded as living at 60 Endicott. The newlyweds made their first home at the
rental property on Endicott Street, but shortly thereafter moved to Ward 4 of the City.

The 1848 Tax Valuation book for Ward 3 shows Charles F. Adams residing at 60 Endicott and
Jesse S. Punchard at 15 Winthrop, assessed for two houses each $600 value. Found in the 1848
Street book shows for 60 Endicott a young man named George Leach, and ‘gone’ penciled in
next to name (though he appears again in the 1849 Street Book archives, so it would seem that
Leach’s plans to move were postponed for another year after 1848). The 1849 Street Book shows
Chas. F. Adams, 25, and George Leach “gone” at #60. Charles F. Adams (1821-1871), died 28
Nov. 1871, was born in Salem on March 20, 1821, the son of Nathan Adams, a native of Danvers,

two, Lucy and George, who were younger.

When he was 19, he shipped out as a seaman on board the ship Mount Wollaston, Capt. E. L
Rose (of Sag Harbor, L.I., NY), with a crew of 24 men, probably bound on a whaling cruise,
departing in June, 1840, for the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. He was then described as 5’ 6” tall,
with a fair complexion and brown hair, residing in Salem (see Mystic Seaport, Salem Crew Lists
for his seafaring career).
At 21, he sailed on a whaling voyage, departing Salem in September, 1843, on board the famous
bark Emerald, Capt. Edward F. Lakeman, 30, of Salem; first mate William B. Stanton, 30, of
New Bedford, and the other 23 crewmen residents of Salem except for one from Danvers. A book
has been published about this vessel!
At 27, now described as dark complected with brown hair, he sailed on board the brig Aerial,
Capt. William Hadley with mate John C. Luscomb, and a crew of eight more (including a black
seaman, Benjamin Peters, 22, of Salem—a native of Warren, Me.—and a black steward, George
Peckham), bound for Para (Brazil) and a market, departing in January, 1848.
Charles married c. 1845 Margaret M. Wiggin, born Sept. 12, 1827. Their first child, Eliza Ellen,
was born in 1847, followed by Lucy E. (1849), Edward (1851), and Mary P. (1854). By 1850 Charles
& family had moved to Marblehead and he was working as a machinist and residing on upper
Washington Street, near Rowlands Hill, in a house with the family of grocer and inn-holder
James A. Rix. By 1855, still in Marblehead, Charles, 34, was working as a railroad engineer, and
so he remained for the rest of his life. The family then resided on Sewall Street. Toward the end
of his life he returned to Salem, and was here in 1870. He died of heart disease on Nov. 28, 1871,
aged 50 years, and was survived by his wife and three daughters.

By 1846 Jesse S. Punchard and his wife, Olive, are listed as living at 15 Winthrop, at which point
they had already begun renting out the smaller home at 60 Endicott. Among the earlier tenants
of 60 Endicott Street included 24 year-old George Leach (and presumably his family) who are
found in Salem’s 1848 and 1849 City Street Books.
1848 Salem City Street Book | Endicott Street
George Leach & H. J. Lane noted at 60 and 58 Endicott Street
When US Federal Census was taken in mid-1850, the lease for 60 Endicott had changed hands to
Mary B. Price, along with her three children and her mother, Lucy Doyle. The Price family is
found on the 1850 Census between the family at 15 Winthrop Street including their landlords
Jesse S. and Olive Punchard along with their three daughters, Mary (11), Rebecca (8), and Emma
(1), as well as the Punchard’s tenants in their two-family home, Joshua and Mary Jones, their two
daughters Mary (8) and Caroline (4), Joshua’s father Joseph Jones, and 19 year-old Catharine. To
the East of the Price’s lived the Lane Family; Henry, Mary, and 13 year-old Mary Eliza Lane, who
had had owned the property at 58 Endicott since Henry J. Lane purchased the land from John
Pickering in 1842, just one year before Jesse Punchard had done the same.

Mrs. Mary B. Price began her life as Mary B. Doyle, born in Maine, born between 1805-1807. She
married New Hampshire native Ephraim S. Price, in Salem, Massachusetts on June 10, 1828 and
the couple had three children shortly thereafter: Mary Elisabeth, born in 1831, Harriet, born
1836, and Edward, the youngest and only surviving boy, born in 1839.
1837 Salem City Directory | Ephraim S. Price
Cabinet maker at 6 Charter Street; House at 6 Oliver Street
The family lived in a house at 6 Oliver Street, in the Salem Neck neighborhood of the City.
Ephraim Smith Price made his living as a cabinet maker, with a shop at 6 Charter Street, and by
1837 had partnered with James K. Averill to run a cabinet and furniture shop on Vine Street in
downtown Salem. 1

Clips pertaining to Ephraim S. Price & James K. Averill
In August 1839, Mrs. Mary B. Price became a widow after 10 years of marriage, and three
children, the youngest of which was born within the same year of his father’s death. Ephraim was
buried in Gilmanton, New Hampshire, while his widow and children remained in Salem.
As with many women of her era, it is unknown what Mary B. Price did to make a living for herself,
and local directories show the Price family living in several rental properties throughout the city;
the family likely remained among the working-class population of Salem in the late 19th and early
20th centuries.

In 1850 Punchard decided it best to sell the small single family, and by doing so divide his
property. Approximately five years after the house at 60 Endicott Street was built on land that
had been purchased for $162, Jesse S. Punchard sold the house and property to Charles L.
Bradbury for $950. This deed provides a clear description of the property as it stood until the
early 20th century:
…The following described messuage 2 situate in said Salem viz. bounded
Southerly by Endicott Street twenty two feet and seven inches; easterly by land
of Henry J. Lane forty feet; Northerly by said Lane twenty two feet and seven
inches; Westerly by other land of mine forty feet.

“manere”, meaning ‘dwell'

�58 Endicott Street | Salem, Mass.
Charles L. Bradbury listed as a printer living at the property for only one year, in the 1851 Salem
City Directory. Shortly after purchasing the home, however, Bradbury received an employment
opportunity in Boston that he could not refuse, and he sold the property to Simon Pendar in 1851.
(It is unclear whether Bradbury was successful in Boston, as the 1855 Salem City Directory shows
him as living at 11 Rust Street with a printing shop at 191 Essex Street.)
1851 Salem City Directory
7th from the top shows Charles L. Bradbury, Printer, at 60 Endicott Street
Bradbury being listed on the 1853 Salem City Directory as a printer living at 60 Endicott
indicates provides further indication as to what the home that stood at 60 Endicott may have
looked like; with a profession listed but no business address, it can be assumed that there may
have been a space in the home for a workshop of sorts. (This is again shown through later tenants
of the property operating businesses from the same address.)
In 1851 Bradbury mortgaged the property to Simon Pendar (along with this wife, Anna), who
made his living as a horse trader and livery stable owner, for $565 cash and $450 mortgaged,
recorded in the Southern Essex Co. Registry of Deeds, Book 459, Page 44:
…I, Charles L. Bradbury of Boston County of Suffolk and State of
Massachusetts, Printer, in consideration of five hundred and sixty five dollars
to me paid by Simon Pendar of Salem, Essex County, State aforesaid, Trader,
and of the said Pendars, assuming a certain mortgage upon the following

Part II: 1851-1887 — Simon Pendar, et al.
Simon Pendar (also spelled Pinder, Pindar, and Pender) was born at the turn of the 19th century
on August 1st, 1800, the son of Samuel Pindar and Mehitable “Hitty” Putnam. Hitty Pindar (née
Putnam) was the third of eight children born to Nathaniel Putnam and Mary Ober. Nathaniel
Putnam was a member of Captain Jeremiah Page’s company during the Revolutionary War, who
had marched to Lexington with the company on April 19, 1775.3 Little information can be found
about Simon Pendar’s father, Samuel, but his station in life would undoubtedly have been
improved by marrying the daughter of a Revolutionary War hero.
1829 Deed | Samuel Pinder to Simon Pinder | Danvers, Mass.
The Pendar’s were an upper-middle class working family, and as one of seven children, Simon
Pendar would have had his fair share of work to provide for himself and his family throughout his
life. At the age of 22 Simon married Almira Akerman in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, with whom
he had one son, George Luellen Pendar. By the age of 29 Simon was able to purchase property in
Danvers from his father, Samuel Pinder, the deed for which mentions Pendar’s title as
‘gentleman’, which does not describe a profession so much as indicate Pendar’s rank and
affluence in the community.
There are few records otherwise to be found regarding Simon’s professional life prior to 1842,
when he first appears in the Salem City Directory as living at 222R Essex Street, in the downtown
district of the city, where he lived with this wife and son. Just three years later on September 17th

1845, Simon Pendar became a widower after 23 years of marriage when his wife, Almira died at
just 43 years of age. A year later, in 1846 Simon Pendar is found renting at the ‘Mansion House’,
likely the Prince Mansion at 108-110 Federal Street in Salem. Simon was remarried in 1848 to
Ann Towle Leavitt. By 1851, Pendar had moved once again to 4 Ward Street, and is listed as the

owner of a livery stable at 60 Washington Street. Finally, by 1853 the Pendar family had settled in
to living at 60 Endicott Street, while Simon still owned the livery stable at 60 Washington and
presumably continued to enjoy success as a horse trader.

Simon Pendar was not a young man (by 19th century standards) when he purchased the property
at 60 Endicott from C. L. Bradbury in 1851, when he would have been approximately 51 years old,
a middle-aged man of some success with an adult son living elsewhere, and a new wife, family and
home.
Anna T. Pendar (née Leavitt) born on the 4th of August 1817 in North Hampton, New
Hampshire, to Oliver R. Leavitt and Eunice Batchelder. In 1855, at the age of 38, Anna found
herself Simon’s second wife, seventeen years younger than her husband.
Simon and Anna Pendar would have five children; three girls and two boys: Almira Anna Pindar
(1849-1852), Louisa Colby Pindar (1853-1854) and Lizzie Leavitt Pendar, born just five months
before the 1855 Massachusetts State Census. In the next ten years the Pendar family would add
two sons, Simon Oliver Pendar in 1857, and Samuel Dutch Pendar in 1859. The two oldest Pendar
girls sadly did not survive childhood, for reasons yet discovered as of this publication.

II-A — The Surviving Pendar Family Children
Lizzie L. Pendar was born in Salem, Massachusetts in April 1855, the first and only girl in the
Pendar family. She was raised and educated in the working-class neighborhood of the
Broadfields. A map surveyed in 1861 shows the proximity of the Pendar family home to the newlyconstructed Salem High School, where all of the surviving Pendar children would have attended.

On the 22nd of August 1876, at the age of 21 Lizzie L. Pendar married Joseph Monroe Parsons, a
Portsmouth, NH native that had in-migrated to Salem to made his living as a mason. The
newlyweds moved to a home on Beckford Street while Joseph M. Parsons worked as a builder and
contractor. Sadly, just after the couple celebrated their seventh anniversary in September of
1883, Lizzie L. (Pendar) Parsons succumbed to typhoid fever at only 28 years old.

Simon Oliver Pendar, named for his father, was raised and educated in the Broadfields
neighborhood, and in his young adult life he found work in the shipyards. He eventually earned
the title of ‘Merchant’, and at the age of 27 married the daughter of Simeon & Ellen Flint, Mary
E. Flint (also 27). The marriage record indicates that Simon Oliver at some point decided to
invert his first and middle names, thus his name is recorded as Oliver S. Pendar on official
documents. The two were wed on the first day of November 1883, just a week after the passing of
his older sister, Lizzie.

Samuel Dutch Pendar, named for his paternal grandfather, was born the 25th of May 1859, and
likely worked as a child through his young adult years in his aging father’s livery stables. In his
adult life he married, decided to stay in Salem, and developed a successful business as a regional
mason and contractor. His travels took him to Peterborough, NH for the 4th of July weekend in
1931 when the 72-year-old Samuel Pendar suddenly succumbed to an embolism, causing a
cerebral hemorrhage. He was returned home to Salem and buried with the rest of his relatives at
Harmony Grove Cemetery.

II-B — The Pendar Family: Life at 60 Endicott in Mid-to-Late 19th Century Salem
In 1846 when Jesse S. Punchard laid the foundation at what was 60 Endicott Street (now beneath
58 Endicott) Salem was in full swing of an industrial revival of its economy. During the 1840s, as
more industrial methods and machines were introduced, new companies in new lines of business
arose in Salem. The tanning and curing of leather was very important by the mid-1800s. On and
near Boston Street, along the upper North River, there were 41 tanneries in 1844, and 85 in 1850,
employing 550 hands. The leather business would continue to grow in importance throughout
the 1800s. In 1846 the Naumkeag Steam Cotton Company completed the construction at Stage
Point of the largest factory building in the United States, 60’ wide by 400’ long. It was an
immediate success, and hundreds of people found employment there, many of them living in
tenements built nearby.
Naumkeag Steam Cotton Co. & Neighborhood (Photo c.1907, Nelson Dionne Collection)
Also in the 1840s, a new method was introduced to make possible high-volume industrial shoe
production. In Lynn, the factory system was perfected, and that city became the nation’s leading
shoe producer. Salem had shoe factories too, and attracted shoe workers from outlying towns
and the countryside. Even the population changed, as hundreds of Irish families, fleeing the
Famine in Ireland, settled in Salem and gave the industrialists a big pool of cheap labor.

Built 1847, Salem City Train Depot (Photo c.1897)
The Gothic symbol of Salem’s new industrial economy was the large twin-towered granite train
station—the “stone depot”--smoking and growling with idling locomotives, standing on filled-in
land at the foot of Washington Street, where before had been the merchants’ wharves. In the face
of all this change, some members of Salem’s waning merchant class continued to pursue their
sea-borne businesses; but even the conditions of shipping changed, and Salem was left on the
ebb tide. In the late 1840s, giant clipper ships replaced the smaller vessels that Salem men had
sailed around the world; and the clippers, with their deep drafts and large holds, were usually too
large for Salem and its harbor. The town’s shipping soon consisted of little more than Zanzibartrade vessels and visits from Down East coasters with cargoes of fuel wood and building timber.
By 1850 Salem was about finished as a working port.
Salem’s growth continued through the 1850s, as business and industries expanded, the
population swelled, new churches (e.g. Immaculate Conception, 1857) were started, new
working-class neighborhoods were developed (especially in North Salem and South Salem, off
Boston Street, and along the Mill Pond behind the Broad Street graveyard), and new schools,
factories, and stores were built.
19
�58 Endicott Street | Salem, Mass.
In 1851 when Simon Pendar purchased the property from Charles L. Bradbury, the middle-aged
man seized on the economic opportunity presenting itself in Salem; after all, horses were a major
mode of transportation locally and livery stables would have been a lucrative and steady business.
By 1866, now in his mid-sixties, Simon Pendar’s occupation is listed as ‘trader’. Presumably,
Pendar sold the livery stable that he had occupied for decades at 60 Washington, and continued
to make his living as a horse trader.
1853 Salem City Directory | Page 120
Simon Pendar listed with his livery stable at 60 Washington, and house at 60 Endicott
According to the 1870 Federal Census the Pendar family continued to live at 60 Endicott while
Simon made a living as a trader, Mrs. Pendar kept house, and the children attended school. Salem
continued to prosper in the 1870s, carried forward by the leather-making business. In 1874 the
city was visited by a tornado and shaken by a minor earthquake. In the following year, the large
Pennsylvania Pier (site of the old coal electrical engineering plant on Salem Harbor) was
completed to begin receiving large shipments of coal. Beyond it, at Juniper Point, a new owner
began subdividing the old Allen farmlands into a new development called Salem Willows and
Juniper Point. In the U.S. centennial year, 1876, A.G. Bell of Salem announced that he had
discovered a way to transmit voices over telegraph wires.

Henry J. Lane, Simon Pendar passed away at the age of 86. His cause of death listed as ‘Softening
of the brain’; brain tissue damage due to hemorrhage or inflammation.4
Shortly after Simon’s death, Anna Pendar moved in with her youngest son, Samuel D. Pendar, at
5 Winthrop Street (just around the corner from Endicott), as indicated by the the 1888 Salem
City Directory, where she lived until her death on the 19th of November 1899, aged 82 years.
By 1887 the Lane Estate had passed from Henry J. Lane to his eldest daughter, Mary E. Jelly (née
Lane), upon Henry’s passing in January 1883. Mary, who was born and raised on the property
next to the house at 60 Endicott and the Pendar family, likely lived just a few doors down
Endicott Street with her husband, William F. Jelly, while managing the house at 60 Endicott as a
rental property.

Mary E. Jelly, born Mary Eliza Lane, spent nearly her entire life on Endicott Street, raised as the

In the 1880s and 1890s, Salem kept building infrastructure; and new businesses arose, and
established businesses expanded. Retail stores prospered; horse-drawn trolleys ran every whichway; and machinists, carpenters, millwrights, and other specialists all thrived.
In the summer of 1886, the Knights of Labor brought a strike against the manufacturers for a tenhour day and other concessions; but the manufacturers imported labor from Maine and Canada,
and kept going. The strikers held out, and there was violence in the streets, and even rioting; but
the owners prevailed, and many of the defeated workers lost their jobs and suffered, with their
families, through a bitter winter.

In 1887 the streets were first lit with electricity, replacing gas-light. More factories and more
people required more space for buildings, more roads, and more storage areas. This space was
created by filling in rivers, harbors, and ponds. The once-broad North River was filled from both
shores, and became a canal along Bridge Street above the North Bridge. The large and beautiful
Mill Pond, which occupied the whole area between the present Jefferson Avenue, Canal Street,
and Loring Avenue, finally vanished beneath streets, storage areas, junk-yards, rail-yards, and
parking lots.

early twenties, when he moved to Salem and married Mary Heard in 1836 at the age of 26. Mary, a
Salem native, was born in 1817 to Daniel Heard and Mary (Tucker) Heard. The two would have
their only child, a daughter named Mary Eliza Lane, in February 1837. Six years after Henry J.
Lane and Mary Heard were wed, in 1842, Henry purchased the property at 58 Endicott Street
from John Pickering (now the location of the yard and parking spaces for 56-58 Endicott) and
built his own house for his young family.

McKay stitching machine to earn his living. He was born the son of Framingham shoemaker,
Charles Greenwood, and Charlotte Beacon Rice in Westboro, Massachusetts. In his childhood
he learned his father’s trade of being a shoemaker, but time and circumstances had different
plans for Abner’s life in 1860s America.
Greenwood served in the Civil War with Company K of the 13th Massachusetts Volunteer
Infantry regiment, which saw action at Harper’s Ferry, Sharpsburg, and finally Antietam, the
bloodiest battle of the Conflict. Sargent Abner Greenwood led the rest of the 13th Mass.
Volunteer Infantry squad into a field of high corn, marching westward towards higher ground
held by the Rebels. Without any cover, the troops were decimated, and Sgt. Greenwood took a
bullet to through his chest and out his right shoulder, a grievous wound that may have added him
to the body count of the two bloodiest days in American history, but his men saved him and with
some rudimentary medical care, Abner was able to recover enough to reenlist in the 13th Veteran
Reserve Corps for the rest of the war (without being redeployed into battle).

On June 25, 1914, in the morning, in Blubber Hollow (Boston Street opposite Federal), a fire
started in one of Salem’s fire-prone wooden tanneries. This fire soon consumed the building and
raced out of control, for the west wind was high and the season had been dry. The next building
caught fire, and the next, and out of Blubber Hollow the fire roared easterly, a monstrous front of
flame and smoke, wiping out the houses of Boston Street, Essex Street, and upper Broad Street,
and then sweeping through Hathorne, Winthrop, Endicott, and other residential streets. Men
and machines could not stop it: the enormous fire crossed over into South Salem and destroyed
the neighborhoods west of Lafayette Street, then devoured the mansions of Lafayette Street
itself, and raged onward into the tenement district.

Despite the combined efforts of heroic fire crews from many towns and cities, the fire
overwhelmed everything in its path: it smashed into the large factory buildings of the Naumkeag
Steam Cotton Company (Congress Street), which exploded in an inferno; and it rolled down
Lafayette Street and across the water to Derby Street. There, just beyond Union Street, after a
13-hour rampage, the monster died, having consumed 250 acres, 1600 houses, and 41 factories,
and leaving three dead and thousands homeless. Some people had insurance, some did not; all
received much support and generous donations from all over the country and the world. It was
one of the greatest urban disasters in the history of the United States, and the people of Salem
would take years to recover from it.

The ruins of the once-mighty Naumkeag Steam Cotton Co. at the waterfront of The Point
Endicott Street suffered total destruction; there would have been nothing remaining of the street
besides foundations, concrete steps, and the occasional surviving chimney. William and Mary
Jelly lost both their home and their income properties at 48 and 58-60 Endicott Street.
According to the record of Data on the Burned District at Salem, Mass. published by the F. W.
Dodge Co. in the aftermath of the conflagration, the assessed valuation of the land at 60 Endicott
was $200; the building: $800 — for a total valuation of $1000, with only $600 of insurance
coverage on the building. Furthermore, this record confirms that all the buildings owned by the
Jelly family were constructed of wood, and were therefore little more than tinder in the 1914 fire.

living on Endicott Street, and now everything she had ever known was gone. The insurance must
have helped some, but it seems that Mary could not bear to part with the property that her father
had purchased from John Pickering in 1842 and proceeded to build their entire family’s history
there on Endicott Street. Mary is found living with her adult daughters, Lizzie, Hattie, and
Martha Agnes in Ward 4 of the City in 1920, aged 82 years, during which time she still owned the
properties on Endicott Street. In 1925 after Mary’s passing at the age of 87, her heirs finally sold
the land to Morris Gerber.

Morris Gerber built the properties as they still stand at the corner of Winthrop and Endicott atop
the foundation that once was laid by Jesse S. Punchard after his purchase of the land from John
Pickering in 1843. The home that is now numbered 58 Endicott Street now stands partially on the
foundation of the building that stood firmly for decades as a home for dozens of men, women,
and children from a multitude of places and professions.

In 1925 much of Salem had recovered post-fire; this clip shows the newly completed construction
along Endicott Street completed by Morris Gerber and others
By the 1920s, Salem was once again a thriving city; and its tercentenary in 1926 was a time of
great celebration. The Depression hit in 1929, and continued through the 1930s. Salem, the
county seat and regional retail center, gradually rebounded, and prospered after World War II
through the 1950s and into the 1960s. General Electric, Sylvania, Parker Brothers, Pequot Mills

(formerly Naumkeag Steam Cotton Co.), Almy’s department store, various other large-scale
retailers, and Beverly’s United Shoe Machinery Company were all major local employers. Then
the arrival of suburban shopping malls and the relocation of manufacturing businesses took their
toll, as they have with many other cities. More than most, Salem has navigated its way forward
into the present with success, trading on its share of notoriety arising from the witch trials, but
also from its history as a great seaport and as the home of Bowditch, McIntire, Bentley, Story, and
Hawthorne. Most of all, it remains a city where the homes of the old-time merchants, mariners,
and mill-operatives are all honored as a large part of what makes Salem different from any other
place.

Pages 84-85.
10. On October 6, 1922, the mortgagee (the Helburn-Thompson Leather Company of
Salem) foreclosed on the the Mosetts’s mortgage. The mortgage listed here is larger
than that referenced in the previous record. Registry of Deeds Book 2530, Page 120.
11. That same day, the Helburn-Thompson Leather Company sold the property at auction to
Harris S. Knight of Salem for $240.00. Registry of Deeds 2530, Page 120-121.

Mariner and Merchant

�I.
The Property, 1680-1800
John Turner, mariner and builder of The House of the Seven Gables, owned this property
by 1680. His father, Robert Turner, had arrived in Boston from England in the 1630s as an
indentured servant. John Turner was born in 1644 and married Elizabeth Roberts of Boston in
1668, the year he moved to Salem and began construction of his grand mansion nearby on what is
now Turner Street. 1 He owned the property which is today 52 Essex Street at the time of his early
death in 1680. In his probate inventory that year, it was listed as “Land by Christopher Babidges,”
valued at £40.2 Essex Street began as a pathway used by the Naumkeag people who inhabited
Salem for ten millenia before the arrival of English settlers and was one of the first streets in Salem.
By the late seventeenth-century, it was already considered the main street of the town. 3
When John Turner’s property was divided March 22, 1696/7, the lot (then worth £32 11s
was given to his youngest child, his daughter Abial. 4 Abial Turner was born October 14, 1680,
five days after her father’s death. 5 Abial never married and lived until 1723, though she conveyed
the property along Essex Street of Joseph Andrews, a yeoman from Boxford, on January 22, 1705
for £45.6
The land was along the creek which ran from the Salem Common into the cove which is
today called Collins Cove. To the east was the land of Christopher Babbidge, a tailor, by 1683. 7

�Forrester streets. Babbidge’s son, Christopher, Jr., a cordwainer, conveyed the house and property
to merchant Richard Derby in 1757. 8
The property to the west, from what is today number 56 Essex Street to Washington Square
East, was part of the parcel of land owned by John Turner. In 1695, Col. John Turner conveyed it
to Thomas Beadle, a mariner and tavern-keeper for £16.9 Beadle’s Tavern, where accused (and
later executed) witches Reverend George Burroughs, George Jacobs, Sr., and Mary Easty were
held before their pre-trial examinations during the Salem Witchcraft Trials of 1692, stood on the
opposite side of Essex Street, near where number 65 is located today. His house remained until
merchant Clifford Crowninshield acquired the land in 1791 and tore it down. 10
After the death of Joseph Andrews in 1737, his dwelling house and lands in Salem were
inherited by his sons, Nathaniel and John.11
In 1777, Richard Derby purchased the present site of 52 Essex Street from mariner Daniel
Conant along with the rest of Conant’s “goods, chattels, and lands” for the enormous sum of £4,000
18s.12

In 1800, Salem was the eighth largest city in the United States, with 9,457 residents
according to the census conducted that year. 13 After the Revolution, Salem’s maritime trade
flourished as privateers like the Derby family turned their sights on foreign trade which had been

�forbidden under the mercantilist British system. The first American ships to trade with ports in
Russia, South Africa, Madagascar, Martinique, and India, left Salem in the period between 1781
and 1800. Salem is often considered the wealthiest city per capita in the United States in that
period, and Elias Hasket Derby was the wealthiest American in the 1790s.
In 1800, the heirs of Samuel Derby (Richard Derby, Samuel Derby, Charles Derby, and
Edward Preble) sold a parcel of land to Capt. Daniel Sage, who constructed 52 Essex Street not
long afterwards.
The deed describes the property as such:
“three fourths parts and seven tenths of a fourth part of a piece of land in said Salem,
bounded as follows, to wit, southerly by Essex Street, there measuring 78 feet,
easterly by land of Mrs. Mary Elkins, there measuring two hundred & seven feet,
northerly by east street there measuring seventy nine feet & six inches, westerly by
land of Capt. Benjn Ward, there measuring two hundred feet” 14
Daniel Sage was born in 1758 in Greenock, a fishing port in Inverclyde in the west central
lowlands along the Firth of Clyde. 15 Greenock had a successful harbor and fishing industry since
the middle ages, largely exporting salted cod. It is unclear when Sage came to the United States,
but he was in Salem by the 1780s.
Sage was a shipmaster, captaining the Patty, a Newbury-built schooner in 1794 for Nathan
Richardson.16 In July of 1795, he carried £3,425 17s 2d worth of provisions to the army of JosephGeneviève de Puisaye at Quiberon in Brittany. 17 De Puisaye was leading a counter-revolutionary

�invasion of France backed by British, which lasted from June 23rd to July 23rd, 1795. Two days
after Sage delivered provisions, the counterrevolutionary forces were routed at the Battle of
Quiberon.
In 1796 he captained the Elizabeth, for William Gray.18 In 1800 he supervised the building
of the Laurel for Gray. Built in Danvers, the Laurel was 425 tons, the fourth-largest ship in Salem
at that time.19 He travelled to India aboard the Laurel.20
In 1809, he was part owner with Nathaniel Silsbee, Robert Stone, Jr. Joseph Ropes, Thomas
Whitteridge, Jeremiah Briggs, Daniel Sage, James Devereaux, Moses Townsend, Joseph White,
Jr., Joshua Ward, Joseph J. Knapp, Archelaus Rea, Richard Crowninshield of the brig Romp, which
was confiscated at Naples on her first voyage. 21 There is a half-hull model of the Romp in the
collection of the Peabody Essex Museum.22 Regarding its capture in Naples, there is a “Naples
claim” in Sage’s probate valued at $1592.59.23
Sage married Deborah Silsbee October 8, 1786.24 Silsbee was born in April of 1767, the
daughter of carpenter Samuel Silsbee. 25 The Silsbees were descendants of Henry Silsbee, who
came to Salem by 1639. 26 Samuel was the son of After his marriage, Sage lived in the Silsbee
family house on the corner of Derby and Essex streets for nearly thirty years according to family
genealogist, James A. Emmerton. 27 That house was the Stephen Daniels house, one of the oldest
in Salem, built 1667 and still standing at 1 Daniels Street.

Samuel’s mother, Mary Daniels
�Silsbee, was Stephen Daniels’ daughter. She married Nathaniel Silsbee, who died in 1731 when
he killed during a construction project when the staging collapsed. 29 Samuel Silsbee built the
northern half, third floor, and leanto in 1756 and lived in the home his whole life. 30 Two Silsbee
houses of the era survive in the immediate neighborhood at 69 Essex Street,31 and 27 Daniels
Street.32
Somewhere around 1800, Capt. Sage built a three and a half story Federal house, five bays
wide, on the land he had purchased from the Derby heirs. Architectural historian Bryant F. Tolles
identifies 52 Essex Street as “unusual” as “the only house in Salem with brick ends incorporating
paired chimneys.”33 Sage constructed a small store on the western end of the property, today 54
Derby Street, and owned a lot across the street with a barn.
Capt. Daniel and Deborah Sage had 12 children, only five of whom survived to adulthood,
two sons and three daughters. Joseph Prince, aged 18 months, died September 23rd, 1795, of fever.
Fever claimed two more children within 12 days. Daniel died of fever at age four September 26 th,
followed by Hannah, age six, on October 4th. 1802 was a similarly dark year for the Sages, with
Hannah, aged five, and Daniel, aged three, dying of fever on May 28th and 29th. Deborah, aged 19,
died of dysentery on July 30th of that year. 34 Martha Silsbee, aged one, died of dysentery on
September 26th, 1808.
John Sage, the oldest son, was born in July 1787 and became a mariner. William Sage was
born in September 1803 and became the Secretary of the Union Marine Insurance Company and
is listed in the probate with the profession of gentleman. Mary Ann Sage was born in April 1805.

�She married the mariner and merchant Ephraim Emmerton. 35 Sarah Sage was born in October
1809 and married Charles Fisk Putnam, merchant and grocer, in 1828. Margaret Sage was born in
December 1811 and married Charles’ younger brother, Edward Putnam in 1839. Edward was
involved in the Brazil trade, particularly in the importation of rubber, and with Charles shipped a
steam sugar mill to Brazil. 36
Sage owned pew number three in the East Meeting House, at the corner of Essex and Hardy
streets.37 The East Church had been established in 1718 and took on Unitarian leanings with the
ministership of the famous Reverend William Bentley between 1783 and 1819. Bentley married
Deborah and Daniel in 1786. 38 In 1812, Bentley notes in his diary that he received “Lady blush
apples” from Sage. 39 In 1817, a subscription was taken to cover deficiencies in the salary of Rev.
Bentley. Capt. Sage contributed $15, ranking number 16 among the donors. The other contributors
were wealthy merchants of the harbor and common neighborhood. 40 After Bentley’s death in 1819,
the minister of the East Church was Dr. James Flint, from 1821 until 1855. 4142
A standing clay figure of Daniel Sage is in the collection of the Peabody Essex Museum,
by an unknown face maker in Canton, 1798. This is the last known example of this art (known

Deborah Silsbee Sage preceded her husband to the grave by a month, on April 13, 1836. 45
When Daniel Sage died May 18, 1836, he was 77 years old and had amassed the large fortune of
$42,396.33.4647 Of that figure, $5,076 was in real estate. 52 Essex Street, called “The Homestead”
in the probate, was worth $4,000. The lot across Essex Street was valued at $675. There are two
lots of land along Liberal Street in the North Fields worth $225. 48
Sage’s furnishings and possessions came to $523.97. The inventory gives some sense of
the furniture that Sage had in his home. A green sofa and a black sofa, a Turkish rug, bamboo
couch, straw carpet, and a square dining table are listed among less descriptive items of furniture.
Other possessions included a spyglass, two looking glasses, a compass, scales and weights, a
musket, a sword, money scales, and twelve pictures. He owned a Bible and a number of books, as
well as charts and bound newspapers.49
In 2016, a lot of eight mahogany dining chairs carved by Samuel McIntire around 1800
was auctioned by Sotheby’s. The catalogue notes that similar chairs can be found in the SageWebb-Wilkins House in Salem. 50

�Lastly, he had investments and other assets valued at $36,796.36. These included shares in
five banks (Merchant, Exchange, Mercantile, Commercial, and Salem) three insurance companies
(Oriental, Marine, Union Marine), the Essex Marine Railway Corporation, the Salem and Danvers
Aqueduct Corporation, and the Marine Hall Corporation. 51 His son, William, was secretary of the
Union Marine, of which he had more than twice the number of shares than the other two firms.
The subscribers to his estate were Charles F. Putnam, John Sage, Margaret Sage, and
Ephraim Emmerton. William Sage was initially named the administrator, but he died February 19,
1838, before completing the probate and on April 3, Ephraim Emmerton was named administrator
in his place.5253 Daniel Sage’s papers are in the Phillips as part of the Emmerton Family Papers,

III.
The Webbs, 1831-1902
William Webb purchased Daniel Sage’s mansion on Essex Street on July 26, 1836, less
than two months after the captain’s death. 55 Webb paid only $100 less than the estimated value of
the property in Sage’s probate. 56 Webb was a trader and an apothecary.
Webb was born in October 1783 to Benjamin Webb and Hannah Bray.57 He married in
1825, the much younger Isabella (or Isabel) Donaldson, who was born in 1800 to Alexander
Donaldson and Elizabeth Peele. 58 William and Isabella had four children, three of whom survived

as the history of the Salem Light Infantry. 62 Lastly, William, Jr. was born in September 1833.63 He
moved to Winchester, Massachusetts by 1874. 64
Webb ran his apothecary out of the little shop constructed by Daniel Sage which is today
54 Essex Street.65 In the 1840s, Gardner Barton, an apothecary with a shop at 6 Newbury Street
resided with the Webbs at 52 Essex Street. 66 In 1842, there were only seven apothecaries listed in
the Salem Directory, including Barton and Webb. 67
In 1846, Isabella died of consumption in January 1846.68 Henry McIntyre’s 1851 map of
Salem depicts the home as the property of “W. Webb.” 69 William Webb died April 29, 1870.70
Webb’s son, Benjamin Webb, purchased the property in July of 1870 for $2,666.71 In the 1874
atlas of Salem, Benjamin Webb is listed as the owner and the store at number 54 is located at the
center of the lot, with more property to the west. 72

Green Ointment’ positively cures eczema and all skin diseases. Also pills.”
Webb’s second wife, Angie, received the property in September 1897 for $1 and other
considerations.77 He was listed as a chemist and a druggist in the 1899-1900 Directory, with his
shop at 54 Essex and his home at 52 Essex. 78 In that year, there were 14 druggists listed in Salem,

VIII. Conclusion
Called the Sage-Webb-Wilkins House, this classic Salem house has a storied history and
is a fine example of Federal architecture in the harbor neighborhood. Captain Daniel Sage, a native
of the western coast of Scotland, came to America as a young man. In 1786 he married Deborah
Silsbee and lived in her ancestral home, the First Period Stephen Daniels House on Daniels Street.
In 1800, Sage purchased the property at 52 Essex Street from the Derbys and began construction
of the present building. Sage had success as a shipmaster and later as a merchant. When he died in
1836, he had amassed considerable assets. The house was sold immediately to William Webb, an
apothecary. Webb used 54 Essex Street next door as his apothecary shop. When he died in 1870,
his son, Benjamin Webb, took over the shop and home, living there until 1900. Benjamin’s widow,
Angie, sold the property to Marietta B. Wilkins, the wife of a dry goods merchant.
Paul P. Harrington and his wife, Mary, purchased the house in 1951. Their two sons were
in the merchant marine. Parts of the house were rented to various working-class tenants, many of

The Sets, proprietors of a Chinese laundry next door at 54 Essex Street, purchased the
house in 1977, living in it off and on until 1990 and renting parts of the house to various young
and working-class tenants.

�126 Bay View Avenue, January 1989 (MACRIS SAL.3484)
The Juniper Point neighborhood was conceived of by Salem grocer Daniel B. Gardner,
Jr., who purchased 45 acres of former farm land in September 1875, at the cost of $21,000. 1
The area had long been used as a summer retreat, with many Salemites and tourists camping
along the waterfront in tents. Gardner filed a plan with the City for cottage lots in October 1875
and in November submitted an updated plan which also included stable lots, two parks, and a
public hall. The proposal created over 50 residential lots, more than 20 of which were sold in a
single day, November 6, 1875. More lots were auctioned off in the summer of 1876 as the
neighborhood expanded. 2 The deed for each cottage stipulated that “no shop, store, public
house, boarding house, saloon or stable shall ever be erected on said lot nor any building
1
MACRIS SAL.HA – Gardner is incorrectly referred to as Danial B. Goodwin, Jr. on the neighborhood plans
submitted with the City of Salem in October and November of 1875.
2
The stable lots are now a strip of garages on Cheval Avenue.

�thereon used for any of said purposes.” The deeds continue to state, “that a strip thereof ten
feet wide next to the high-water mark shall forever be kept open free and unobstructed as a
public sidewalk or promenade.” These stipulations have been upheld in perpetuity. 3
The completion of this new summer community helped encourage the growth of the
adjacent Salem Willows, a city-owned park which quickly grew to include amusements,
restaurants, and entertainment. In 1875, the Naumkeag Street Railway Company began
offering horsecar service to the area from downtown, attracting visitors who could travel by
train to Salem and conveniently take a horsecar to the new neighborhood. Aside from Salem’s
elite business men, this summer resort community was especially popular with travelers from
Lawrence and Lowell.
The Gothic Revival cottage design of 126 Bay View Avenue is indicative of the 19th
century and features wood shingle siding and ornate cornice trim. The home has been greatly
altered in recent years to accommodate a basement level garage; the porch has been reduced
and is devoid of its decorative balustrade. New windows have been added with rounded
transoms on the front façade and the back of the home features a large atrium addition.
Furthermore, windows have been removed throughout the sides of the home. 4

(Salem State University Archives and Special Collections)
The Peabody Family, 1875-1880
Alfred Peabody (1806-1879) and his son Henry W. Peabody (1838-1908) appear to be
the earliest adopters of the Juniper Point neighborhood, purchasing multiple cottage plots from
Daniel B. Gardner, Jr. on November 6, 1875. Henry W. Peabody purchased #25 and #26, present
day 136 Bay View Avenue, and together with his father Alfred, purchased #22. 5
The land in which 126 Bay View Avenue sits was Plot #22 in Gardener’s Plan of Cottage
Lots for Juniper Point. The original address for this home was 54 Central Street, later renamed
and renumbered as 126 Bay View Avenue, around 1915. There is no indication that the
5

�Peabody family ever stayed in the home, it is likely that it was an investment property that they
leased to summering families from out-of-town. The family may have frequented 130 Bay View
Avenue, a larger home owned by Henry W. Peabody.
Alfred Peabody was born on February 3, 1806 in Salem, Massachusetts to Nathan and
Hannah (Stickney) Peabody. He came from a well-established family, descended from
Lieutenant Francis Peabody, an early settler of the area who arrived on the ship Planter in
1635. 6 Alfred became a renowned merchant in Salem and Boston, participating in multiple
industries including dry goods and shoe manufacturing. He often lost large amounts of money
in his ventures but was remembered fondly for his adaptability to the economy and his integrity
in business. 7
On November 30, 1833, Alfred Peabody married Jerusha Tay (1808-1891) of Salem.
Together, the couple had children as follows: Alfred, Henry, Everett (died in infancy,) Everett,
Mary, Edwin, and Charles. Their family home was at 45 Summer Street.
Like his father, Henry W. Peabody become a well-known merchant, working for Williams
& Hall on Central Wharf in Boston. Henry later joined Samuel Stevens & Company but took a
break from maritime trade in 1866 due to decline in the industry and substantial loss of income.
Henry opened his own company, Henry W. Peabody & Company in Boston and New York City.
As his business grew, he became increasingly involved with politics, appearing in front of
Congress on multiple occasions to advocate for maritime industries. In 1864, Henry W. Peabody
purchased 17 Chestnut Street in Salem where he lived until 1907, before moving to Beverly.

�Peabody married three times, first to Lila Rea Mansfield in 1862. Together the couple
had six children, three of which died during childhood. Lila died in August 1890 and in
December 1892, Henry W. Peabody married Nannie Brayton Borden (1853-1905) of Fall River.
Nannie had previously been married to Norman E. Borden (1850-1880), second cousin, once
removed of Lizzie Borden. The murders of Lizzie’s father and stepmother had occurred in
August 1892, followed by a very public trial. It is likely that Nannie viewed this marriage as a
welcomed escape from Fall River.8 Nannie appears to have assumed a large amount of money
following her first husband, Norman’s death. This was chronicled in multiple letters held in the
archives at Harvard University, which contains the Henry W. Peabody Collection. Found in
Henry’s personal correspondence with his step children, Henry stated that he had no interest in
Nannie’s estate, writing: “…I married Nannie Brayton Borden for her love and companionship,
and not for money."9 Nannie died in 1905 and Henry married for a third time to Lucy W.
Waterbury.
Alfred Peabody’s younger son, Edwin N. Peabody was also well known in Salem. He was
an active photographer from 1876-1894 and photographed much of Salem, including the
Juniper Point neighborhood. His images of the neighborhood date to the late 1870s and were
likely inspired by his family’s properties there. 10 Edwin traveled often and in his obituary it was
said: “He traveled considerably over the United States and whenever he heard of a Salem
family in any city that he visited, he would be sure to hunt them up, even though they were
perfect strangers to him. He was always made to feel welcome and he was sure to bring home

�pleasant messages to their Salem kindred.” 11
Alfred Peabody died of heart disease on June 13, 1879, he was 73 years old.12 In July
1880, Henry W. Peabody sold 126 Bay View Avenue (then 54 Central Avenue) to Joel A. Abbott
of Lowell, Massachusetts for $1,500. 13
The Abbott Family, 1880-1894
Joel A. Abbott (1820-1903) was born on October 3, 1820 to Joel Abbott and Hannah
(Bowman) Abbott of Charlestown, Massachusetts. 14 The family later relocated to North
Reading, where Joel A. Abbott worked as a shoe manufacturer. On November 26, 1847, Joel
married Sarah A. Parker (1826-1901), also of Reading. By 1865, the couple had relocated to
Lowell, along with their eight children. Joel became proprietor of “The Old Corner Store” at 174
Merrimack Street and become very involved in community politics, specifically the Democratic
party. In 1878, Joel was nominated for Mayor of Lowell by members of the Butler Club but lost
to John A. G. Richardson.
In 1880, Joel purchased 126 Bay View Avenue (then 54 Central Avenue) for use as his
family’s summer residence. During Joel’s first summer at Juniper Point, he suffered from a
debilitating kidney and liver disorder, becoming unable to walk. The following year, The Boston
Journal and The Boston Globe chronicled his recovery, which he credited to an herbal
supplement, Kidney-Wort. 15 Joel and his family owned the cottage at Juniper Point for 14 years.

�In 1894, Joel and his wife Sarah sold the home to Joseph F. Appleton.
The Appleton Family, 1894-1907
Joseph Frederic Appleton (1854-1929) was born in Beverly, Massachusetts on March 18,
1854 to Joseph B. Appleton and Rachel E. (Foster) Appleton. He attended school in Beverly and
later began working as a salesman in the shoe industry. On March 9, 1878, Joseph married
Mary B. Dunbar in Beverly, Massachusetts. 16 He later partnered with William McKean of Salem,
a manufacturer of shoes. In 1894, John and his wife Mary purchased 126 Bay View (then 54
Central Avenue) for $1.00 and other considerations from Joel and Sarah Abbott. 17
After leaving the shoe industry he became a manager and vice president of Underwriters
Salvage Company of the United States, where he traveled between offices in Boston and New
York before retiring in 1915. He then partnered with Fred A. Norton in selling insurance under
the name Appleton & Norton.
Appleton earned quite a bit of money in these businesses, splitting his time between a
Boston residence, 19 North Street, and Juniper Point. He purchased a 30-foot yacht which he
named Takitesy (take-it-easy) for use at Juniper Point. In June 1899, the Boston Globe reported
that Appleton’s yacht, valued at $1,000, had been stolen. It was recovered a month later at the
Hudson River Yacht Club in New York City and carpenter Frank Westin was arrested. 18 After
selling 126 Bay View (then 54 Central Avenue) in 1907; he purchased the larger adjacent home

�at 130 Bay View Avenue (then 60 Central Avenue) which has also been previously owned by
Henry W. Peabody. When Joseph F. Appleton passed away at age 76 in 1929, he left an estate
worth over one million dollars. 19
The Cabeen Family, 1907-1939
John F. Cabeen (1866-1954) was born in Salem in 1866 to Lydia and John Cabeen, a
teamster. The couple also had three daughters Sarah, Julia, and Lila. Sarah attended the nearby
Salem Normal School, where she graduated in 1878. She then taught in Salem for sixteen years,
primarily at the Bentley Grammar School on lower Essex Street. John F. trained as a plumber
and opened his own shop on the corner of Essex and North streets.
On October 18, 1886, John married Sarah A. Merrick, originally of England. 20 The couple
lived at 18 Cabot Street and had two children, Charles and Helen. Charles would apprentice
under his father and join the family business.
John was incredibly involved in his community, serving on multiple committees and
boards, including the Salem Chamber of Commerce, Salem Savings Bank, Salem Rotary Club and
the Board of Trade. After purchasing the home at 126 Bay View (then 54 Central Avenue) in
1907, John F. Cabeen became very involved with the Juniper Point neighborhood. In 1912, he
helped organize the Juniper Point Realty Trust to assist in the purchase of the nearby Ocean
View Hotel. 21
Following the Great Salem Fire of 1914, Cabeen played an instrumental role in the

�recovery effort by assisting in the organization of incoming funds and supplies for the city. In
the following months, he rallied for the importance of a fire department to protect Juniper
Point, becoming temporary President of the Juniper Point Volunteer Fire Association in
February 1915. This association received a hose carriage, ladders, and was granted the
installation of a fire alarm box at Columbus Square.22
In 1939, John and Sarah sold the Juniper Point home to Nora Harrington.

NATIONAL REGISTER CRITERIA STATEMENT (if applicable)
Located within the recommended Salem Willows Historic District,
eligible under Criteria A and c.
ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE Describe important architectural features and evaluate in terms of
other buildings within the community.
126 Bay View Avenue is a richly detailed example of the small
summer cottages constructed in the Salem Willows area in the late
19th century.
It is a 1 1/2-story, two bay cottage with Carpenter
Gothic details.
The complex roofline consists of a gabled front
section with central gable, and a two-story, gabled roof extending
to the rear.
The one-story porch extends across the facade and
east elevation, featuring a handsome jigsawn balustrade.
The main
entry is at the west end of the facade.
The entire front section
of the house is oranamented with jigsawn vergeboards and cornice
trim.
The window sash is varied including some replacement.
HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE Explain the role owners played in local or state history and how the
building relates to the development of the co111n.1nity.
This house is characteristic of the development of Salem
Willows with summer cottages during the late 19th and early 20th
centuries.
It stands upon lot 22 of a plan of cottage lots dated
October 1875.
The house was standing by 1897, when it was owned as
a summer residence by Joseph Appleton, a manager for A.B. Russell &
Co., Boston.
Appleton's year-round residence in 1897 was at 19
North Street, Salem.
It is not known when the house was
constructed, but the lot had previously been purchased by Henry W.
Peabody (1875) and Joel Abbott (1880) before Appleton purchased it
in 1894.

HISTORICAL
NARRATIVE
Describe the history of the building. Explain its associations with local (or state) history. Include uses of the building
the role(s) the owners/occupants played within the community.
and
According to the previous 1975 survey form for this property, this house was constructed about 1905 according to designs by
local architect, Ernest Machado. Based on interior evidence including the location o f the fireplace, the present owner of the
house believes that the house was built on the site of an earlier dwelling although this could not be verified. Sanborn maps
indicate that there was no building on this site in 1890 although a house is present by 1906. The 1905 City Valuation
indicates that the land was vacant and owned by Jennie Emmerton. The house was apparently constructed shortly thereafter
for Francis W . Nichols who had an antiques store at 67 North Street. The Nichols family continued to own the property until
the 1950s; the last family member to liver here was Millicent Nichols. The property has had numerous occupants since that
time and served as a multiple dwelling for some time. It has now reverted to single-family use.

�Historic Salem Inc. | House History Report
Part I: A History of the Land before 1896
The earliest official records regarding the land at Salem Neck, including Winter Island and
Juniper Point, date to November 1792 when the Supreme Judicial Court held at Salem granted
the peninsula of Salem Neck to Edward Allen, Sr. as an estate including the wharves and
warehouses thereupon. In 1801 Allen divided his estate with his son and namesake, Edward Allen
Jr., recorded in the Southern Essex Co. Registry of Deeds, Book 176 Leaf 196.
1801 Land Deed | Edward Allen, Sr. to Edward Allen, Jr.
Nine years later, in 1810 Edward Allen, Jr. sold a portion of the estate left to him by his father to
Salem merchant Josiah Orne, the deed for which describes the ‘parcel of land’:
…called Allen’s farm with all the buildings thereon standing being situated
partly on the Neck so called, and partly on Winter Island so called and
containing about forty five acres more or less, being bounded by the stone wall
as the same now stands, together with all the walls adjoining…
Orne was in possession of the property at Winter Island for only a half dozen years, after which
the property once again transferred hands in 1816 to Danvers native, Jonathan Dustin.
According to the 1816 Deed from Josiah Orne, Jonathan Dustin’s profession is noted as
‘Victualler’, meaning the Dustin’s family fortune was made in the licensed trade of alcoholic
liquor (and other provisions). The property would remain in the Dustin family for the next halfcentury and in subsequent records, including the 1874 Salem City Atlas, the portion of land
known as ‘Juniper Point’ of the Salem Neck is recorded as belonging to the ‘Heirs of Dustin’,

which included Dustin’s two adult daughters, Eliza Sutton and Serena Ayers. Just one year after
the publication of the 1874 Salem Atlas, the entire forty-five acres of the Dustin estate was sold to
Daniel B. Gardner for $21,000:
…we, Eliza Sutton and Serena Ayer of Peabody in the County of Essex… in
consideration of twenty one thousand dollars to us paid by Daniel B. Gardner,
Jr. of Salem… a parcel of land formerly called Allen’s Farm situated in Said
Salem partly on the Neck so called and partly on Winter Island so called and
containing about forty five acres more or less… Easterly by the sea shore and
Northerly North Westerly, Southwesterly and Southerly by land of the City of
Salem as the same to now enclosed by the stone walls and boundaries being
more particularly shown on a plan entitled “Plan of the Dustin Farm on Salem
Neck, 1854… Being the same premises that Josiah Orne conveyed to Jonathan
Dustin the father of said Eliza and Serena… [who] inherited the same.

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

Salem in the 1870s was in flux; the maritime industry that had held up Salem’s economy for
decades had crumbled in the 1820s and 30s, and by the middle of the 19th century the entire
industry had changed from seafaring to an international capitol of cloth and shoe manufacturing.
Salem continued to prosper in the 1870s, carried forward by the leather-making business. In
1874 the city was visited by a tornado and shaken by a minor earthquake. In the following year,
the large Pennsylvania Pier (site of the present harbor-side electrical plant) was completed to
begin receiving large shipments of coal.

In the U.S. centennial year, 1876, A.G. Bell of Salem announced that he had discovered a way to
transmit voices over telegraph wires. In this decade, French-Canadian families began coming to
work in Salem’s mills and factories, and more houses and tenements were built. The better-off
workers bought portions of older houses or built small homes for their families in the outlying
sections of the city; and by 1879 the Naumkeag Steam Cotton mills would employ 1200 people
and annually produce nearly 15 million yards of cloth. Shoe-manufacturing businesses expanded
in the 1870s, and 40 shoe factories were employing 600-plus operatives. Tanning, in both Salem
and Peabody, remained a very important industry, and employed hundreds of breadwinners.

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

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

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

During this decade in Salem, hordes of French-Canadian families began coming to work in
Salem’s mills and factories, and more houses and tenements were built. The better-off workers
bought portions of older houses or built small homes for their families in the outlying sections of
the city; and by 1879 the Naumkeag Steam Cotton mills would employ 1200 people and produce

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

cords of the neck. The G. A. R. Post of
Washington had in the meantime been
communicated with by the local post, and they
visited the sick man at about that time. The
attending physician stated the seriousness of the
case, and the post immediately ordered the
department physician to attend. That gentleman
was one of Garfield’s physicians.
A consultation was held, and the
doctors decided that in order to combat with the
disease it was absolutely necessary to open the
growth at the back of the neck. That operation
was successfully performed, and a large amount
of poisonous matter removed.
The poison accumulated so rapidly,
however, that the skill of the best physicians in
the country was of no avail and Mr. Perkins soon
after passed away.
The disease so rapidly enveloped his
system that his mind was unbalanced on several
occasions during the first three weeks of his
sickness. Sunday morning it was evident that the
end was near. He lapsed into unconsciousness
and remained in that state until death ensued.
He was unconscious some little time
before his final attack, and failed to recognize his
brothers, who had gone on to see him.
The attending physicians stated
yesterday that they had Mr. Perkins started for
home upon the first attack of illness, it was
exceedingly doubtful if he would have made the
journey alive. During his unconscious spells his
mind continually preyed upon city affairs, and
repeatedly he would rise and ask to be taken
home, as he must get there and vote on the
Longham meadow matter. The doctors were of
the opinion aided materially in the progress of
the disease, as it was impossible to keep him,
while suffering so frightfully from these
deliriums.
Mrs. Perkins, accompanied by her two
brothers, left Washington last evening, arriving
home this forenoon. The son, Charles F., will
leave Washington today with the body. It was the
intention of the Washington post, to send a
member with the son.
Second Death in Board This Year.
Has a Very Important Political Aspect.
Leaves Longham Supporters a Clear Majority.
Opponents Will Petition to Have Both Seats
Filled.
Fitz W Perkins died at Hotel Oxford,
Washington, at 1.08 Sunday afternoon, after an
illness dating from the national encampment of
the G. A. R. At Pittsburg, a month ago.
Three weeks ago the deceased was
taken to the hotel ad Washington, upon the
advice of physicians, he having developed
alarming symptoms for typhoid fever. Mrs.
Perkins, his wife, was with him and remained by
his side until death ensued.
Soon after his admittance to the hotel ,
typhoid fever set in. The attuning physicians did
everything within their power to allay the ravages
of the disease, and were successful in
counteracting its influence on the system. He
rallied slightly, only to be attached by erysipelas.
A growth was soon noticeable upon the
11

condition was such that he was unable to
withstand the ravages of the disease.
Its Political Significance.
If VacancyIs Not Filled Longham Meadow Basin
Is Assured.
The death of Alderman Perkins is the
sole topic of conversation in political circles. It
means considerable to the citizens. If his
successor is not elected Messrs. Knight, Gove
and Stickney would form a majority of the board
and the Longham meadow scheme would go
through with a rush.
That movement will be checkmated by
the opponents to the measure, however, by a
petition for an election to fill the vacancies in the
board. That means two new aldermen.
The canvass for the offices would be
bitterly contested by the men favoring Longham
meadow, as, unless they win a victory their
scheme for furnishing water to the citizens can
never pass.
The opponents will not work so hard,
but will endeavor to induce gentlemen to run for
offices that the citizens can rely upon, the men
who will thoroughly investigate matters before
rushing a scheme of any description through the
board.
The Dead Alderman.
It Was His First Political Office — A Good
Record as a Soldier, Extending Over 26 Years.
Fitz W. Perkins was born in
Gloucester, Aug. 20, 1844. He was educated in
the public schools, and after finishing his
education entered the grocery business. After
concluding his career as a groceryman he entered
the paint and oil business. He associated himself
with L. B. Philbrick & Perkins, dealers in oils,
paints and paper, with headquarters in this city.
The firm has enjoyed prosperity and run teams to
all portions of the county and this section of the
state.
Mr. Perkins has a long military record
with some 26 years continuous service. When the
war broke out he enlisted as a private in Co. G,
Eighth Regiment, and after serving nine months
was discharged. He re-enlisted June 4, 1863, as
sergeant in the Second Massachusetts Heavy
artillery and refined in service until June 27, 1865.
In August, 1863, he enlisted as a
member of Co. . Eighth Regiment. M. V. M. He
served time as a corporal and sergeant, and on
May 15, 1868, was elected second lieutenant.
April 20, 1869, he was promoted to the first
lieutenancy, and August 18, 1869, was
discharged.
He again mustered into service March
15, 1875, as quartermaster sergeant of the Eight
Regiment, Aug. 11, 1879, he was appointed
quartermaster, and held that office for a number
of years.
He was a member of the G. A. R. Royal
Arcanum and one of the leaders in the Pilgrim
Fathers, having occupied many offices in that
order.
Mr. Perkins was originally a member of
Allen post 45, G. A. R., of Gloucester, and was a
past commander of that organization. He was a
past president of the Eighth Regiment Veteran
association. He was a deputy supreme governor
of several Pilgrim Father lodges. When the Salem
Board of Trade was formed he became a member
and has since taken great interest in its work.
He was elected to the board of
aldermen last December, that being the first

Succumbed to Illness In Washington About Two
Weeks Ago
The death of Alderman Perkins is the
second to be recorded among the members of the
board of aldermen of this city for the year of 1894,
Alderman Fabens having been the first to pass
away.
Death was the result of an attack of
erysipelas, with other complications.
Alderman Perkins left Salem a few
weeks ago to attend the national G. A. R.
Encampment at Pittsburg. He was not feeling
very well at the time, but insisted upon making
the trip.
At Pittsburg he partially succumbed to
an attack of illness, but rallied an insisted on
starting for the battle field of Newburn, N. C.
With a large party. He got as far as Washington,
where he was forced to take to his bed. Here he
remained ever since, attended by the best
physicians in the Capitol city. His physical

condition of affairs.

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

After twenty-five years of marriage, Harriet F. Perkins found herself widowed at the age of 49.
She continued to live at the couple’s last address, 19 Winter Street (until 1899), and presumably
she and her son Charles were the beneficiaries of her late husband’s Estate. Two years after Fitz
W. Perkins passing, Harriet purchased the house on Juniper Point from Samuel Shaw in June of
1896:
…in consideration of forty-one hundred dollars paid by Harriet F. Perkins,
widow, of Salem … do hereby give, grant, bargain sell and convey unto the said
Harriet F. Perkins a certain lot of land situate on Juniper Point, so called, in
said Salem being lot numbered thirty three (33) on a “Plan of Cottage Lots at
Juniper Point Salem Neck, C. A. Putnam, Surveyor Oct. 1875”…
1896 Property Deed | Samuel Shaw to Harriet F. Perkins
The design and layout of the neighborhood at Juniper Point was entirely intentional; the vision of
Daniel B. Gardner, who had bought, surveyed, and subdivided, and sold the property in the
mid-1870s was clearly intended in some of the earliest deeds granted to the residents of Juniper
Point (and Salem Neck), which included explicit language as to what the premises could (or more
accurately, could not) be used for:

“… no building nor any part thereof on said land shall be used as a hotel,
boarding-house, saloon, shop, livery or boarding stable, or for manufacturing
purposes, or for any purposes than for a private dwelling house, with the usual
out-buildings, including a private stable; no stable, however, to be rested within
50’ of any street, and with the further agreement that no swine shall be kept on
said land…”
1911 Salem Atlas | Mrs. Perkins at 43 Central Avenue (now 25 Beach Avenue)
By the time of Mrs. Perkins’ purchase of the home in the early Summer of 1896, much of the land
that had once been owned and parceled out by Daniel B. Gardner had been purchased and
developed into a retreat of sorts for well-to-do Salemites looking to escape the heat of Downtown
Salem in the humid New England summers. At the turn of the 20th century, Salem Willows was
being developed with amusement rides and restaurants just around the corner from the Juniper
Point summer homes along the waterfront. Apparently Mrs. Perkins enjoyed living on Salem
Neck enough that she decided to make it her permanent residence (though she retained
ownership of 19 Winter Street) and by 1900 she is listed living on Central Avenue. (The address
of the Perkins’ waterfront home changed once more in the time between 1911 and 1915, when the
current address of 25 Beach Avenue became the permanent identity of the Queen Anne home.)

On the morning of June 25, 1914 in Blubber Hollow (Boston Street opposite Federal), a fire
started in one of Salem’s fire-prone wooden tanneries. This fire soon consumed the building and
raced out of control, for the west wind was high and the season had been dry. The next building
caught fire, and the next, and out of Blubber Hollow the fire roared easterly, a monstrous front of
flame and smoke, wiping out the houses of Boston Street, Essex Street, and upper Broad Street,
and then sweeping through Hathorne, Winthrop, Endicott, and other residential streets. Men
and machines could not stop it: the enormous fire crossed over into South Salem and destroyed
the neighborhoods west of Lafayette Street, then devoured the mansions of Lafayette Street
itself, and raged onward into the tenement district.
25th June 1914 | The Great Salem Fire consumes a third of the City
Despite the combined efforts of heroic fire crews from many towns and cities, the fire
overwhelmed everything in its path: it smashed into the large factory buildings of the Naumkeag
Steam Cotton Company (Congress Street), which exploded in an inferno; and it rolled down
Lafayette Street and across the water to Derby Street. There, just beyond Union Street, after a
13-hour rampage, the monster died, having consumed some 250 acres, 1600 houses, and 41
factories, and leaving three dead and thousands homeless. Some people had insurance, some did
not; all received much support and generous donations from all over the country and the world.
It was one of the greatest urban disasters in the history of the United States, and the people of
Salem would take years to recover from it; fortunately, the Perkins family did not lose anything.

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

1926 Survey of Salem Neck| Waterfront Homes at Juniper Point
Charles F. Perkins continued to own the home at 25 Beach Avenue and the Perkins family and
friends undoubtedly spent many a long summer evening on the shores at Juniper Point.
Throughout the 1920s and early 1930s the home is listed on the Salem Street Directories as
being the summer residence of C. F. Perkins until 1938. From the time that Charles’ widowed
mother purchased the brand new home on the waterfront of Juniper Point in 1896 until the
property was sold in 1938, the home at 25 Beach Avenue and the Perkins family were witness to a
rapidly changing city just across the Salem Sound.
After the Great Salem Fire of 1914, one of the greatest urban disasters in the history of the United
States, the people of Salem would take years to recover from it. Eventually, they did, and many of
the former houses and businesses were rebuilt; and several urban-renewal projects (including
Hawthorne Boulevard, which involved removing old houses and widening old streets) were put
into effect.

By the 1920s, Salem was once again a thriving city; and its tercentenary in 1926 was a time of
great celebration. The Depression hit in 1929, and continued through the 1930s. Salem, the
county seat and regional retail center, gradually rebounded, and prospered after World War II
through the 1950s and into the 1960s. General Electric, Sylvania, Parker Brothers, Pequot Mills
(formerly Naumkeag Steam Cotton Co.), Almy’s department store, various other large-scale

In May of 1938 Charles F. Perkins sold the property at 25 Beach Avenue to Alfred T. Poulter and
his wife, Marion E. Poulter. (Charles Perkins relocated to Los Angeles, California in the late
1930s where he would spend the rest of his life until his passing in 1943.) Evidently, according to
contemporary directories the Poulter family made 25 Beach Avenue their year-round residence.
(Researcher’s note: 25 Beach Avenue is sometimes labelled 136 Bay View Avenue in contemporary
City directories.)
21
�25 Beach Avenue | Salem, Mass.
Part III: The Poulter Family
Alfred Thomas Poulter was born in Plaistow, in Essex, England in the County Borough of West
Ham, the second youngest of the four children of Samuel James and Charlotte Poulter (née
Raisbeck): James, born in 1894, Joy Hilda born in 1895, Alfred Thomas Poulter born in 1899, and
finally Herbert born in 1901. The Poulter family emigrated through Boston, Mass. in May of 1906
from London, England when Alfred Thomas was just turning seven years old, and settled in
Connecticut. Samuel James Poulter earned a living as a painter to support his family, while the
Poulter children were educated in local schools.
Alfred Thomas Poulter remained in East Windsor, Connecticut where he lived and worked in the
Warehouse Point Village neighborhood of the city. According to the 1920 Federal Census ,
Alfred was living with his family as a single 20-year old, working as a foreman at a local cotton
mill. He had been naturalized as an American citizen just one year before in 1919.
In 1922 Alfred T. Poulter relocated to Salem, Mass. which sustained on its own booming cotton
mill industry, where he found work as a bookkeeper and a place to board at 75 Hathorne. By 1924
Alfred had found a new place to board at 116 Columbus Avenue on Juniper Point, while working
as a cashier (i.e. bookkeeper) at Swift & Co., a local beef wholesale provision market, located at
274 Bridge Street. During his time boarding on Columbus Avenue, Alfred Poulter would meet
the young woman who would eventually become his wife: Marion Elizabeth Spencer; the two
were wed in 1926.
Marion E. Spencer was born in Salem on the 22nd of September, 1899, the only child of Alfred
and Margaret E. Spencer (née Hamilton). Alfred Spencer came to Salem from England to apply
his trade as a shoemaker. Margaret E. Hamilton was born in the burgeoning industrial town of
Northbridge, Massachusetts in a neighborhood village called Whitinsville; it is no coincidence
that her family made their way to Salem in the second half of the 19th century, as Salem’s
booming industrial economy drew thousands from all over the world, especially those involved
with steam power manufacturing.
The Spencer family including Alfred, Margaret, and Marion Elizabeth lived at 12 Margin Street
with Marion’s paternal grandmother, Martha Spencer (née Crabtree). At just seven years old,
22
�Historic Salem Inc. | House History Report
Marion’s father Alfred passed away after a week-long bout of peritonitis 1 in March of 1908.
Marion and her mother continued to live at 12 Margin Street, along with Margaret Spencer’s
mother (Marion’s maternal grandmother), Isabella Hamilton, and a 66 year-old boarder from
Maine named Sarah Leighton.
Marion lived on Margin Street until she finished with her primary school education, after which
she moved (along with her mother) to a boarding house on Brown Street in 1919-20. According
to the 1920 US Federal census, Marion was one of seven ladies living at 18 Brown Street; she was
the youngest of the seven at age 20 (Marion’s mother, Margaret, worked as a housekeeper for the
boarding house.) Helen A. Sutton, the homeowner, worked for the ‘gentlemen’s home’ as a
social worker, sisters Mary and Christine Sutherland came from Canada and both worked in a
local lamp factory, Amelia MacArtie, the daughter of an Italian woman and an Irish man worked
as a bookkeeper at a general furnishing store, and Hannah Shepherd who worked as an
‘attendant’ to a private family.
1921 Salem Normal School Yearbook | Marion E. Spencer
“The secret of success is constancy to purpose.”
By 1921 Marion and her mother moved once again, this time to 15 Messervy Street while Marion
attended the Salem Normal School (now North Campus at Salem State University), where she
studied to become a teacher. She remained living on Messervy Street while working as a teacher
until she met and married Alfred Thomas Poulter in 1926.
1 peritonitis — (noun) inflammation of the peritoneum, typically caused by bacterial infection either via the
blood or after rupture of an abdominal organ
23
�25 Beach Avenue | Salem, Mass.
After the wedding, the new Mr. and Mrs. Alfred T. Poulter resided at 16 Leach Street for a short
time, just long enough to apply for naturalization as a United States citizen in 1927. In February
of 1928 the couple welcomed their first child, Marylyn Margaret Poulter. Later in the same year
the couple had relocated to Gardner, Massachusetts, and in 1931 the second Poulter child was
born: Hamilton Thomas Poulter (named for his maternal grandmother’s surname and father’s
middle name). The young Poulter family lived in several different places within Gardner, where
they remained until 1936, when the Gardner, Mass. Directory notes that the Poulter family had
relocated back to Salem.
The 1936 and 1937 Directories indicate that the Poulter family lived at 2A Willow Avenue in
Salem, and Alfred returned to working for Swift & Co. as a cashier/bookkeeper. In May of 1938
Alfred T. Poulter purchased the home at 25 Beach Avenue from Charles F. Perkins for $3,500
and the cost of back-taxes to the City of Salem. The Poulter family moved in to their newly
procured home and made the seaside home their year-round residence until 1953, when the
property was sold to the Dumas Family.

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

�2-4 Emerton Street, Salem, MA
Built for James A. Gillis, Counsellor, by 1894
1. The lot of 2-4 Emerton Street was originally part of the estate of Elizabeth Emerton of Salem,
who died intestate March 28, 1837. Her eldest heir, her son William, requested that his brother
Ephraim be appointed to administer the estate. Essex County, MA: Probate File Papers,
1638-1881.Online database. AmericanAncestors.org. New England Historic Genealogical
Society, 2014. (From records supplied by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court Archives.)
https://www.americanancestors.org/DB515/i/13765/9033-co2/30163294
2. An 1851 map of Salem shows two buildings on Forrester Street (then called East Street)
marked “J. Emerton;” this is likely Elizabeth Emerton’s son James, who is described in deeds for
other properties as an apothecary or druggist (his brother William was a tailor and his brother
Ephraim a merchant; Registry of Deeds Book 421, Page 83). However, the building is too far
west on Forrester Street to be the same house; the eastern end of Forrester Street is still
marked as a creek emptying into Collins Cove and was not yet developed. McIntyre, H. (Henry),
and H. E. B. Taylor. "Map of the city of Salem, Mass." Map. Philada., Pa: Henry Mc. Intyre,
1851. Digital Commonwealth, https://ark.digitalcommonwealth.org/ark:/50959/9g54xk154
(accessed June 25, 2019). https://ark.digitalcommonwealth.org/ark:/50959/9g54xk154
3. On April 13, 1871, William, Ephraim, and James Emerton of Salem sold a portion of the
“Emerton Estate” to James A. Gillis of Salem for $5,000.00. This was a lot bordering 283 feet on
Forrester Street, 213 feet 6 inches on the land of Eunice P. Richardson, 461 feet on land of
“Silsbee and others,” and 309 feel on other land of “Silsbee and others.” The deed specifies that
the land was sold “with buildings theron standing,” Registry of Deeds Book 819, Page 277. On
an 1872 map of Salem, the buildings marked on Forrester Street are the same as on the 1851
map, and the far end of the street has not yet been filled in. This indicates that the current house
is not one of the buildings reference in the above deed.
https://digitalcommons.salemstate.edu/maps_salem/1/
4. On October 19, 1894, James A. Gillis sold part of the land he had purchased from the
Emerton brothers over twenty years earlier to Ellen M. Hartshorne, widow, “in consideration of
one dollar paid me...a certain lot or parcel of land with buildings theron standing...on the
northerly side of Forrester Street, being a portion of the Emmerton Estate formerly so-called.”
This deed outlines a rectangular lot, running 47.5 feet along Emerton Street but running 108 feet
to Forrester Street, and also includes a rectangular piece of land to the west of the property
“upon which stand the steps of one of the tenements above conveyed,” plus the interest in and
right of way to the “strip of land...sometimes known as Emerton Street.” Registry of Deeds Book
1426, Page 380. One of the buildings referenced in this deed is likely the current house.
�5. On October 25, 1894, Ellen M. Hartshorne mortgaged the property to Elizabeth H. Osgood for
$2,000. This mortgaged was discharged “with full payment and satisfaction” on April 30, 1908.
Registry of Deeds Book 1426, Page 382, and Book 1916, Page 481.
6. On April 30, 1908, Ellen M. Hartshorne sold the property to Joanna A. Fitzgerald “for one
dollar and other valuable considerations.” Registry of Deeds Book 1916, Page 481.
7. On January 12, 1909, Joanna A. Fitzgerald, wife of Joseph A. Fitzgerald, sold the property to
John J. Caplice. The lot is defined as 53 feet 3 inches x 47 feet 6 inches x 53 feet 5 inches,
bordered by Fitzgerald’s property, Emerton Street, the land of John Casey, and Fitzgerald’s,
“running westerly as the fence now stands.” These are more or less the modern boundaries of
the property. This deed does not reference buildings on the property, but the mortgage Caplice
took out two days later does; see below. Registry of Deeds Book 1951, Page 233.
8. On January 14, 1909, John J. Caplice mortgaged the property, including buildings, to the
Salem Savings Bank for $2,200.00; the Bank acknowledged this mortgage fully paid on
September 8, 1916. Registry of Deeds Book 1951, Page 234.
9. John J. Caplice sold the property to William A. Clapp on September 16, 1911. Registry of
Deeds Book 2106, Page 118.
10. Roger F. Clapp, administering the estate of William A. Clapp, sold the property to John J.
and Nellie J. Foley, husband and wife, on March 12, 1924. Registry of Deeds Book 2590, Page
96.
11. John J. and Nellie J. Foley mortgaged the house to the Salem Savings Bank for $3,000.00
on March 12, 1924, for one year at 5.5% interest. Registry of Deeds Book 2590, Page 97.

acknowledged this was fully satisfied on April 4, 1960. Registry of Deeds Book 2725, Page 432;
Book 2746, Page 562; and Book 4655, Page 249.

19. On May 27, 1955, Phillipe J. Belanger of Paris, France, granted the property to George Paul
Belanger, “reserving to myself for the duration of my natural life, the right to use and occupy two
rooms on the second floor...Being the same premises conveyed to me by a deed of Georges
Paul Belanger, executor of the will of Malvina E.D. Belanger...the consideration is less than one
hundred dollars.” The deed was signed by Philippe’s wife, Charlotte Eugenie Belanger. Registry
of Deeds 4174, Page 366.

formed the “Len and Jean Real Estate Trust.” Jean and Eva L’Italien transferred ownership of
the property to the trust on March 8, 1962. Registry of Deeds Book 4870, Page 118; Book 4889,

ARCHITECTURAL DESCRIPTION:
Describe architectural features. Evaluate the characteristics of this building in terms of other buildings within the community.
The house at 28 Arbella Street is set on the back lot between 26 and 30-32 Arbella Street. The 1 ½-story, side-gabled dwelling
is set on a brick foundation and is sheathed in asbestos shingles. The gable roof is sheathed in asphalt shingles with
overhanging eaves ending in returns. Centered on the three-bay facade, the main entrance is sheltered by a well-preserved,
flat-roofed denticulated door hood with the two brackets adorned by large beads, rondels and pendants. The door itself is a
modern multi-light replacement but it is capped by two original transom lights. The adjacent window openings have modern 2/2
vinyl sash but retain molded surrounds and entablature lintels set on brackets that are smaller versions of those on the entrance.
The shed dormer spanning the front roof slope is a later addition. Aligned with the east wall of the house is a single-story ell and
a rear deck.
This house is a contributing property in the Bridge Street Neck Historic District, listed on the National Register on July 19, 2002.
HISTORICAL NARRATIVE
Discuss 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.
It appears that this house may have been originally located on the present site of 30-32 Arbella Street. The 1874 map shows a
house with roughly this shape on that site, owned by William H. Plummer. Plummer was a shoemaker who lived at 16 Saunders
Street and apparently rented this house out.
The 1897 map shows the land was still vacant at that time but was owned by William H. Edwards a contractor and building
mover. The house appears to have been moved to its present site about 1906. The 1911 map shows a house believed to be 28
Arbella Street (?) in place, but without the rear ell and aligned directly behind #26. This house along with 22, 24, 26, and 30 , is
shown as being owned by William H. Edwards although deeds suggest he sold the property in 1910 (see below).
From 1907 to about 1910 the house (then 10 ½ Arbella Street) was rented to George S. Norton who worked as a traveling
salesman for an oil company. He lived here with his wife May, two daughters, his mother Emeline and his father George. In
1917 the house number was changed from 10 ½ to 28.
Deeds indicate that in 1910 the entire Arbella Street property was sold by William H. Edwards to Alice R. Meek (Book 2028,
Page 570). Miss Meek apparently purchased them as income-producing properties. She lived on Essex Street and was the
head of the Henry M. Meek Publishing Company, makers of directories. The property was sold by Annie (Meek) Hutchins and
Mabel Adlard to Martin and Mary Callahan in 1948 (Book 3637/205). Census records indicate that in 1920 the house was rented
to Louis Benway, a French Canadian wagon driver for a coal company. He lived here with his wife Hattie, two daughters, two
sons and a son-in-law.

1843-1853 Property History Prior to Building of 360 Essex Street
The earliest records in regards to the lot of land that is now 360 Essex Street in Salem,
Massachusetts date to June of 1843 when Salem merchant Emery Johnson purchased “a
certain piece of land with the buildings thereon situated in Salem […] on Essex Street” from
Salem industry mogul David Pingree for $5,000:
[…]bounded as follows, Viz., Southerly on Essex Street one hundred and
two feet, more or less, Easterly on land partly now or formerly of Mrs.
Sarah Clark to land of Joseph Winn to a corner, Northerly on land of said
Winn and R. S. Saunders as the fence now stands, to a corner at the fence
just northwest of the barn and thence running Southerly to Essex Street
and bounded Westerly by Ferguson’s land, together with all the privileges
and appurtenances thereto belonging.1

�Historic Property Report
360 Essex St. | Salem, Mass.
Historic Salem, Inc.
Reference points alluded to in the 1843 deed are reflected in the 1851 Salem City
Atlas, published by Henry McIntyre, just six years after Emery Johnson’s purchase of the
property on Essex Street, (specifically the properties belonging to Winn and Ferguson).
Furthermore, the Atlas shows that there is no apparent building footprint at the current
location of 360 Essex Street which confirms that the Italianate home could not have been
standing before 1851.
In 1845, just two years after the purchase of the property that is now 360 and 362
Essex Street from David Pingree, Emery Johnson passed away from scurvy at the age of 54
on the 18th of January, leaving his wife a widow, Sarah (Saunders) Johnson, and their three
surviving sons, Emery Saunders Johnson, Charles Augustus Johnson, and Horace Palmer
Johnson, without a father.
Emery S. Johnson became the man of the house at seventeen and went to work with
his two younger brothers: Charles, aged fifteen in 1845, and Horace, who was just twelve.
Benefiting from their father’s business connections with Salem’s maritime elite, the Johnson
boys were employed at sea working for David Pingree and other Salem ship owners in the
perilous trade with South America, Africa, and Asia.
Tragedy struck the Johnson family again in 1851 when the two youngest surviving
sons of Emery and Sarah Johnson both perished while on dangerous trade voyages between
the shores of Zanzibar and Salem. Charles Augustus Johnson was just 21 years old when he
lost his life in Zanzibar North, Tanzania in May of 1851, then less than 3 months later the
youngest Johnson brother, Horace, was lost at sea in August at the age of nineteen.
Now the only surviving child of Emery and Sarah S. Johnson, Captain Emery S.
Johnson, then aged twenty-five, had already retired from his seafaring career before the age
of 25. Having inherited a sufficient amount of capital from his father’s estate and no remaining
siblings to divide the property, he also purchased the buildings and land at 360 and 362 Essex
Street from his father’s estate, and then leased the home at 362 Essex back to his mother,
Susan Johnson, who remained in the house for the next few decades until her passing in 1880.

Spring 1853 Italianate Revival Home Built at 360 Essex Street for Capt. Emery S. Johnson
Image Source: Tolles, c.1982
The physical history of the home at 360 Essex Street has been well documented by
architectural historians of the past, including Bryant F. Tolles’ 1982 illustrated guide entitled
‘Architecture in Salem’:
The Emery S. Johnson house is situated above the level of Essex Street on
sloping terrain and is one of Salem’s finest and most imposing Italian
Revival-style residences. […] Familiar Italian Revival features include
corner quoins, rusticated fade boarding, carved and paired cornice brackets
and medallions, segmental-arch dormers, thin modeled chimneys, a front
window bay (second story), heavy molded window frames, and flat molded
pediment caps above the first floor windows, which, judging by old
photographs, appear to have been 20th-century additions.2

On the 28th of August 1973, the Emery S. Johnson House was added to the National
Register, and then added to the Local Historic District in March of 1981. The Massachusetts
Historical Commission also completed its own physical and historical evaluation of the
property at 360 Essex Street:
The 2 1/2-story, hip-roofed dwelling displays a symmetrical facade with
the two end bays bowed and flanking a central entrance porch. The facade
of the Italianate style dwelling is sheathed in wood boards scored to
resemble stone with quoins at the corners; the side elevations are
clapboarded. The projecting eaves are adorned by paired brackets and
dentils. Sheltering the central entrance is a single-story entrance porch
supported by octagonal posts. The flat roof is decorated by curved consoles.
The four-panel door is flanked by partial sidelights and a full transom
filled with stained glass in a foliate pattern. To each side of the entrance is
an elongated 6/6 window with footed sills and heavy molded window
frames. The entablature lintel is supported by two brackets with
modillions [sic] between. The second floor windows consist of smaller 6/6
windows with molded surrounds, footed sills and a simpler entablature
with two brackets. A single-story, three-sided bay window projects from the
west elevation. Resting above the entrance is a rectangular bay window
outlined by simple pilasters with horizontal, recessed panels below the
windows. The hip roof is punctuated by two segmentally arched dormers
with dentils. The balustrade has simple posts with railings in an " x "
pattern. Two interior chimneys punctuate the asphalt-shingled roof. 3
These reports do little to explain the social and familial history of the building, which
began with Emery S. Johnson in 1853. Johnson hired Salem architects William H. Emmerton
and Joseph C. Foster to design an Italianate home to be a statement of the Johnson family’s
relatively new prominence in one of the Nation’s oldest cities. The road to 360 Essex Street
had certainly not been an easy one for Emery Saunders Johnson, but one whose richness
extended beyond his material wealth.

Emery S. Johnson & Family
Emery Saunders Johnson was born in Salem on the 7th of May, 1827, the first child to
Captain Emery Johnson (originally of Warren, Mass.) and Salem native Sarah Saunders
(Johnson). The elder Emery Johnson had migrated to Salem from Western Massachusetts
after the death of his father, Eli, and began working in the flourishing shipyards of Salem’s
waterfront, eventually working his way into the inner circles of Salem’s wealthiest traders and
manufacturers.
In April, 1817, Capt. Emery Johnson was co-owner (with James C. King) and master
of the 126-ton Salem brig Roscius and in April, 1819, Captain Johnson was owner and master
of the Salem 114-ton schooner Madeira Packet. In the 1820s he came ashore and became a
partner in the merchant house of the wealthy Rogers Brothers — merchant shippers who
traded overseas to Madagascar and other markets. Together they owned the ship
Perseverance, the ship Clay, and the brig Talent. In the 1830s Captain Johnson joined David
Pingree in ownership of the 240-ton bark Eliza, the large new ship Thomas Perkins (596 tons
burthen) and the 374-ton bark Cynthia, of which, in 1838, Captain Johnson went back to sea
as commander.
By the time his oldest son and namesake came of apprenticeship age, Captain Emery
Johnson, Sr. was able to procure work for his son with David Pingree, at the time Salem’s
wealthiest citizen. Pingree made his fortune in trading cloth, made by the Naumkeag Steam
Cotton Co. in the Point neighborhood of Salem, and bartered throughout markets of the
world, most especially with Zanzibar in Eastern Africa. After the death of Emery Sr., the
three surviving Johnson boys all went to work at sea for the Shipmasters of Salem — only
one would survive to the age of twenty-two.

The type of ship that two of the Johnson boys would lose their lives aboard.
Charles Augustus Johnson boarded the Brig Eagle destined for Para, Brazil on the 19th of
September in 1848 and returned home some months later, undoubtedly with stories of
adventure abroad. He sailed again at the age of twenty-one on September 13th in 1850 on the
Bark4 named Lewis with Zanzibar as the cargo’s destination. This voyage was likely shipping
cotton cloth manufactured at the Naumkeag Steam Cotton Company, then the largest steampowered manufacturing operation in the world. Sadly, during the return trip from Zanzibar,
the young Charles A. Johnson lost his life on the 8th of May, 1851.5

In December of 1848, a seventeen-year-old man named Horace Palmer Johnson, the
youngest surviving son of Emery (Sr.) and Sarah, embarked on his first voyage. La Plata, a
263 ton Boston Bark built in 1839, was loaded with commodities and bound for Western
Africa, and young Horace aboard.6 The trip would have taken anywhere between three to six
months to return. Available records do not indicate he ever sailed to return again; instead, the
only available records show that during the return trip from Zanzibar in August of 1851, 19year-old Horace suffered the same fate as his older brother, Charles, and was lost at sea.

Emery S. Johnson in his short but
successful seafaring career.
(Image: The Seaman’s Friend, R.H.
Dana, Jr., 13th Ed., 1873.)
Several months before either of his younger brothers first ventured onto a shipping
vessel bound for exotic lands, Emery S. Johnson had his first voyage as Second Mate aboard
the Brig Garland, which departed the 19th of January in 1848, and safely returned to Salem
after delivering and exchanging commodities and cargo in Para. Apparently proving himself,
then 21-year-old Emery S. Johnson is listed serving as First Mate on his second voyage to
Brazil, this time on the Brig Russell bound for Rio Grande and a ‘Market’. The Russell left
Salem’s shores on December 19, 1848, while Emery’s brother Charles was on his first voyage
aboard the Eagle, and the same month that young Horace embarked towards Zanzibar
aboard La Plata.

After only two successful voyages, Emery S. Johnson was promoted to Shipmaster by
the time the Brig he captained, named Draco, set sail for Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil in May
of 1849. Capt. E. S. Johnson went on to captain the Draco once again to Rio Grande,
departing on the 29th of November 1849, and returning by spring 1850. 7 By this point he had
amassed fortune from his time as a shipmaster, and by the sizable wealth left to the Johnson
family by Emery Sr.’s will. Thus, Emery S. Johnson was able to retire from seafaring after
only two voyages as captain of the merchant brig Draco — he was 22 years old.
During the interim between voyages, Emery S. Johnson met and courted Ann
Elizabeth Creamer, and upon his final return trip from sea the two were wed in June of 1850.
The newlyweds resided in an apartment at 81 Essex Street, at the time the Law Offices of
Stephen P. Webb, located in the historic Capt. J. Hodges House. Tragedy plagued the
Johnson family the following year in 1851, when both of Emery’s younger brothers, Charles
and Horace, died at sea in May and August of the same year. After the passing of his brothers,
Emery S. Johnson became the sole male heir to his father’s fortune, and in October 1852 he
officially purchased the property at 360 and 362 Essex Street from Emery Sr.’s Estate:
[…]executor of the last will and testament of Emery Johnson, late of
said Salem, deceased […] and with the written consent of the widow of
said Emery, as required in said will, in consideration of five thousand
dollars paid me in my said capacity, by Emery S. Johnson of said Salem,
ship master […] being the same estate which was conveyed to said
Emery Johnson by David Pingree, by his deed dated 12th June 1843, and
recorded Book 353, leaf 34.8

Summary: The logbook of the brig Draco details two voyages between Boston, Rio Grande, Brazil and Salem
(May 1849 to Mar. 1850). Home port was [Salem, Mass.]; owners were [the Kimball Brothers]; master was
[E.S. Johnson]; log keeper was Emery S. Johnson. It is an incomplete daily log that describes wind, weather,
location, and sightings of ships. Bound with the ship Ann Maria, the brig Garland, and an unknown vessel.

1853-1886 Emery S. Johnson & Family at 360 Essex Street
By the time the Italianate home was completed at 360 Essex Street for Captain Emery
S. Johnson, he had entered into the second half of the 19th century in his early twenties, flush
with cash and ready to move on to the next chapter of his career. The opportunity arose in the
form of Emery’s new father-in-law, Benjamin Creamer, with whom he established Johnson &
Creamer and began their own mercantile shipping business moving commodities of all types
throughout the world.

S. Johnson, at 360 & 362 Essex (respectively), neighbored on either side by jeweller Benjamin
Shreeve (364 Essex), and Richard & William R. Wheatland (358 Essex), gentlemen farmers.
According to the 1855 Massachusetts State Census, Emery S. Johnson and his wife,
Annie E. Johnson, both aged twenty-seven, had settled into their beautiful new home at 360
Essex Street. (Just across the street at 361 Essex lived Benjamin and Anne Creamer, Annie’s
parents, Emery S. Johnson’s in-laws.) The couple welcomed their first child the same year on
the 3rd of February; just four years after the passing of both Emery’s younger brothers in
1851, the new Mr. and Mrs. Johnson decided to name their first child for the lost Johnson
boys — Charles Horace Johnson. Two years later, another child was born to Emery and Ann
E. Johnson on the 15th of September in 1857, Emery Walter Johnson, who completed this
generation of the Johnson family.

Regrettably, tragedy followed the Johnson name, and Charles Horace suffered a
similar fate than that of his departed uncles; at the age of seventeen, in early December of
1872, Charles H. Johnson suffered an accidental shooting through his hand, which he initially
survived. As was commonly the case before the advent of antibiotics and penicillin, young
Charles developed a bacterial infection, tetanus, and passed away on the 17th of December.
His premature death was reported the following day in the daily Boston Globe newspaper on
December 18, 1872:
Sad Result — In the Globe of the 9th was mentioned a case of accidental
shooting by the premature discharge of a patent cartridge with which Mr.
Charles Johnson was loading a gun. Young Johnson’s hand was
considerably shattered by the explosion, but the wound was dressed and, up
to Sunday morning, seemed to be doing well, but at that time severe lockjaw set in, and, despite the strenuous efforts of the most skilled doctors,
resulted in his death yesterday afternoon. Young Johnson was about 18
years old, and was the son of Emery S. Johnson, Esq. He was a young
man of marked abilities, and was a member of the senior class of the
Salem classical and high school, and was intending to enter Harvard
College. His early death, just at the beginning of manhood, will be a cause
of deep mourning to a large circle of friends and acquaintances.
Fifteen-year-old Emery Walter Johnson suddenly found himself an only child in a
family with a legacy to maintain in Salem. Named for his wildly successful grandfather and
father young Emery undoubtedly benefitted from his family’s material wealth. His life’s work
shows that he did not take this responsibility lightly and worked throughout his life to live up
to the magnitude of his name. After the passing of his older brother, Emery W. Johnson
attended Phillips Academy in Exeter, New Hampshire9, then returned to Salem after
graduating in 1874 at the age of seventeen. In Salem’s 1880 Directory he is noted as having
been ‘removed to Colorado’ — confirmed by an 1890 U.S. Passport Application submitted by
Emery Walter Johnson, which describes his residence as being located at 59 Symes Block in
Denver, Colorado (still standing today).

Captain Emery S. Johnson resided in the house until his death in December of 1886,
almost exactly fourteen years to the day that his son, Charles Horace Johnson, suffered an
accidental shooting and subsequent fatal infection. Upon his passing, the Salem Gazette
published a paragraph (albeit with a typo in the decedents address) entitled ‘Another
Shipmaster Gone’:
Capt. Emery S Johnson Passes Away at His Residence
Captain Emery S. Johnson, another of Salem’s shipmasters, died
yesterday afternoon at his residence, No. 380 Essex street, of rheumatism
of the heart. His illness was quite brief. Capt. Johnson was brought up in
the counting room of David Pingree, and very early in life became a
seaman, working his way up until he became a master mariner, and was
engaged in the East India carrying trade. As early in life as 23 years old,
he retired from active business pursuits, having a large income left him by
his father. He was a great traveller and spent several years in the other
countries, visiting all points of interest. He leaves a widow and one son, the
latter being Walter P. Johnson, a lawyer, now engaged in business in
Denver, Col. He was 58 years old. Although he had been quite ill, his death
was somewhat unexpected. 10
Following the passing of Emery S.
Johnson, Ann E. (Creamer) Johnson relocated
to Summer Street until just before her death in
1899, while living at 362 Essex Street, as
reported in the Salem Evening News on the
22nd of July, 1899:
Mrs. Annie E. [Johnson] widow of Capt.
Emery S. Johnson, died at her residence, 362
Essex street, this morning. She was a native
of Salem, a daughter of the late Benjamin
Creamer, and in her 75th year. She leaves a
son, Walter Johnson.

1886 360 Essex Street becomes a rental property owned by Emery W. Johnson
The Captain’s estate transferred ownership to the Johnson’s only surviving son, Emery
Walter, who had yet to return to Salem from his time in Denver, Colorado. After the passing
of his mother in 1899, Emery W. Johnson returned to Salem and moved into 362 Essex Street
and maintained the neighboring property at 360 Essex as a rental property occupied by a
number of tenants. (For a complete timeline of residents at 360 Essex Street, see appendix
section.)

The first occupant of 360 Essex Street after Emery S. Johnson’s passing, according to
contemporaneous Salem City Directories, was Andrew W. Dodd and family (including wife,
Ella (Ashton) Dodd, James W. Dodd, and Andrew W. Dodd, Jr.. The Dodd family were

tenants of 360 Essex Street from 1890 until Andrew W. Dodd Sr.’s passing in 1909. The
Dodd’s hailed from Gloucester, Mass. where the family owned a Glue & Oil Manufacturing
business, which continued to operate and prosper while the Dodd’s lived on Essex Street in
Salem.
After the passing of A. W. Dodd, Sr. in April of 1909, the property at 360 Essex was
occupied by famed airplane engineer, Greeley Stevenson Curtis, Jr., one of the pioneers of
American Aeronautical Engineering. Along with N. Starling Burgess, Greeley S. Curtis
established the Aero Club of America and went on to engineer the first sea-plane ever created.
25 June 1914 | Salem, Mass.
The Great Salem Fire raged for more than thirteen hours, destroying an entire third of the City.
On June 25, 1914, a fire started at the Korn Leather Factory, one of Salem’s fire-prone
wooden tanneries. This fire soon consumed the building and raced out of control, for the west
wind was high and the season had been dry. The next building caught fire, and the next, and
out of Blubber Hollow the fire roared easterly, a monstrous front of flame and smoke, wiping
out the houses of Boston Street, Essex Street, and upper Broad Street, and then sweeping
21

through Hathorne, Winthrop, Endicott, and other residential streets.
Men and machines
could not stop it: the enormous fire crossed over into South Salem and destroyed the
neighborhoods west of Lafayette Street, then devoured the mansions of Lafayette Street itself,
and raged onward into the tenement district.
Despite the combined efforts of heroic fire
crews from many towns and cities, the fire overwhelmed everything in its path: it smashed
into the large factory buildings of the Naumkeag Steam Cotton Company (Congress Street),
which exploded in an inferno; and it rolled down Lafayette Street and across the water to
Derby Street. There, just beyond Union Street, after a 13-hour rampage, the monster died,
having consumed 250 acres, 1600 houses, 41 factories, and leaving three dead and thousands
homeless.
The home at 360 Essex was thankfully spared, but in the aftermath of the Great Salem
Fire, Mr. Curtis decided it was time to move on from the City and his home at 360 Essex
Street, and owner Emery W. Johnson rented the property to other tenants. In 1917 Charles
E. Morgan took up residence at the Johnson property, along with his wife, Daisy M. Morgan,
as well as John Morgan Jr. and his wife, Rose. The Morgan family owned and operated a
market gardening business as well as the Alaska Fur Company at 264 Cabot Street, and
remained living at 360 Essex Street through 1926.

1927 Estate of Emery W. Johnson Sells 360 Essex Street to Susan L. Brown
Upon returning from Colorado in the first year of the 20th century, Emery Walter
Johnson and his wife, Annie E. (Cloutman) Johnson resided at 362 Essex Street while
managing 360 Essex as a rental property. According to the 1920 Salem Directory, E. Walter
Johnson had moved to Winchendon, along the northern border of Massachusetts, in an effort
to regain his failing health — on the 29th of July in 1921, at the age of 63, Emery Walter
Johnson passed away suddenly at his home in Winchendon. As a member of the Fraternal
Organization, the Freemasons, his life and passing was diligently memorialized in
contemporaneous Masonic Records:
In Winslow Lewis Lodge
October 14th, 1921
Once more, one of our older members has gone to meet the
Supreme Architect of the Universe, and it is our sad duty to record the
passing of Brother Emery Walter Johnson, a member of our Lodge for over
twenty-eight years.
Brother Johnson was born in Salem, Mass., on September 15th,
1857 and after graduating from the High School, entered Phillips Exeter
Academy. After completing his studies there he went to Denver, Colo.,
where he entered a law office and studied a year or more. He then returned
East, married and went to Europe where he and his wife spent many years
in travel. When in Paris, during the Exposition of 1900, he was appointed
by the Paris Exposition Commission as a member of the Jury.
After his return to America, he went back to his old home in
Salem to live. Owing to failing health, a few years later, he bought a home
in the country, to take up the simple life and to regain his health. Although
greatly improved, he never fully recovered from a serious illness he had
while living in Paris. On July 29th, he passed suddenly away in his home
in Winchendon, Mass. His body was taken to Salem for interment in the
Harmony Grove Cemetery.
He received his degrees in Masonry in Union Lodge, Denver, Colo.,
where he was initiated May 18, 1888, passed June 20, 1888 and raised to
the sublime degree of Master Mason, July 25, 1888. He became a member
of our Lodge on February 24, 1893. While Brother Johnson was not a
23

frequent visitor to the Lodge, due to failing health and therefore was not
well known by our younger members, his cheerful disposition and genial
good fellowship made him a host of friends. All who knew him well feel that
they have suffered a personal loss by his unexpected death.
Be it therefore resolved that we, the members of Winslow Lewis
Lodge, realizing our loss, deeply sympathize with his widow, in the keen
sorrow of her earthly separation.
Be it further resolved that these resolutions be spread upon the
records, and that a copy of this Memorial be engrossed and sent to the
widow of our deceased brother.

Emery Walter’s will names Mrs. Annie C. Johnson as the beneficiary, and she

1927 Property Deed from Annie Johnson to Susan L. Brown
Southern Essex Registry of Deeds: Book 2715 Page 409
1927-1936 Hulings C. & Susan L. Brown reside at 360 Essex Street
Originally from Germantown, Pennsylvania, Hulings Coperthwatte Brown built a
career as a publisher with Little, Brown & Co. — established in 1837 by Charles Coffin Little
and partner, James Brown — early publications include ‘Little Women’ by Louisa May
Alcott, poetry by Emily Dickinson, the first U.S. iteration of the ‘Encyclopedia Britannica’,
and John Bartlett’s ‘Familiar Quotations’.
At the age of 25, Hulings met and courted Salem native, Susan L. Waters, daughter of
William C. & Susan Waters — the two were wed on the 4th of June, 1886. By the time
Hulings and Susan Brown purchased the home at 360 Essex Street from the Johnson family,
both were in their mid-sixties, ready to enjoy a comfortable retirement in the city of Salem.
Five years after their purchase of the home, Hulings C. Brown passed away in 1933, leaving a
sizable estate, as reported by the Boston Globe on May 9th, 1933:

Hulings C. Brown Leaves Estate of $250,000
Salem, May 8 — The will of Hulings C. Brown of Salem,
disposing of an estate estimated at $250,000, was allowed in the Essex
County Probate Court today. The property was left to his wife and
relatives.
The Salem Country Club, of which Mr Brown was a prominent
member, was given 16 paintings now in the Brown home, and the Salem
Billiard Club a set of 16 books. Robert E. Gardiner of Concord and Robert
R. Duncan of Cambridge are named as executors. Mr Brown was a
member of the firm of Little, Brown & Co., Boston book publishers.
Mrs. Brown, now a widow, remained living at 360 Essex Street until her own passing
1935-6, at which point the property was sold to Alan P. Freedberg from Susan L. Brown’s
estate:

1936-2007 Dr. Alan P. Freedberg & Family reside at 360 Essex Street
Solomon and Rose Freedberg arrived on the shores of Boston in 1908 — Rose was
expecting, and they knew that their homeland would be no place to raise their child; for
Russian Jews, the socio-political tensions in Eastern Europe were rising to a fever pitch, with
increasing anti-Semitism and more frequent pogroms throughout the region. Rose “Rosie”
Freedberg was 23 years old when she joined her husband, 20 year-old Solomon H. Freedberg,
in building a life in an entirely new world; by 1912 the couple settled into a home at 28 Ward
Street (and later 8 Cliff), Salem along with family members Hyman, a peddler, and Simon, a
meat cutter. Solomon went to work in Salem’s first kosher butchery, established by the
Freedberg family — the Salem Kosher Meat Co. at 26 1/2 Peabody Street.
Solomon and Rosie Freedberg welcomed their first child, a son named Alan Phillips
Freedberg, on July 30th, 1909 — as new arrivals to a centuries-old city, the couple named
their first-born for one of Salem’s legendary maritime families, the Phillips (the descendants of
whom lived in the same neighborhood at 34 Chestnut Street). Over the next eleven years, the
family would add three more Freedberg children: Abraham in 1910, Edith in 1915, and Ruth
in 1920.
The 1931 Hub | Boston University College of Liberal Arts Yearbook
22 year-old Alan P. Freedberg attended Boston University while residing at 8 Cliff Street, five years
before his purchase of 360 Essex Street.

�A. Kellett

The Freedberg family worked tirelessly to provide a better life to their children than
the previous generation, and were successful in doing so — their firstborn, Alan, attended
Boston University College of Liberal Arts where he majored in Biology and minored in
Chemistry, and then attended medical school, earning his degree from the University of
Chicago in 1934. Upon his return to Salem, Alan P. Freedberg established a successful
practice serving the City as a physician and surgeon for the remainder of the 20th century.
Upon purchasing the property at 360 Essex Street from the Estate of Susan L. Brown
in 1936, Alan insisted that his aging parents also occupy the grandiose building on upper
Essex Street, while Solomon continued to work in the real estate industry. One can only
imagine the difference between the world that Solomon and Rosie Freedberg experienced and
fled as a young Jewish couple in turn-of-the-century Russia, and the contrast with life in
Salem at 360 Essex Street. It is encouraging for humanity to see an instance where former
refugees are able to attain a better life for themselves and their families, and even more the
gratitude and responsibility their son, Alan, was able to take on for them later in life.
1944 Salem City Directory | Alan P. Freedberg
When Kamikaze pilots attacked Pearl Harbor in Hawaii on December 7, 1941, Alan
Phillips Freedberg decided his skills as a physician and surgeon would best be put to use in
the United States Armed Forces — he joined up at the age of 32, eventually earning the rank
of 1st Lieutenant in the US Army for the duration of World War II. Upon his return, he met
and married Charlotte Rosenberg in 1945, at which point the couple settled into their home at
360 Essex Street, where they would remain for the rest of their lives.

On the 2nd of May in 1957 Solomon Freedberg passed away at the age of 71. Rosie
Freedberg continued to reside with her son, Alan, at 360 Essex Street until her own passing a
decade later on June 24, 1967. Both Solomon and Rosie undoubtedly enjoyed the sunset
years of their lives spent watching their grandsons grow.

In December of 1995, Dr. Alan P. Freedberg (aged 85) and his wife, Charlotte (75),
officially declared the home at 360 Essex as their Homestead.11 Both would live to see the new
century, as the Doctor passed away in January of 2007 at the age of 97, and his beloved wife
Charlotte a decade later in 2018. Alan, his mother Rose, and father Solomon are all interred at
the Sons of Jacob Cemetery in Danvers, Massachusetts.

�Owners & Occupants
7 Williams Street, Salem
By Amy Kellett & Robert Booth, PHS, December 2019
According to available evidence, this house was built in 1839 for Nathaniel
Weston, merchant, and was renovated in 1856. It occupies the site of an
earlier house built c.1797 for Nehemiah Adams, cabinet maker.
In August, 1827, Mrs. Eliza (Story) White for $4200 sold the property, with
house and store, to Nathaniel Weston (ED 247:30).
Nathaniel Weston Jr. (1793-1868) was born in Woburn, the son of Nathaniel
Weston and Hannah (Richardson) Weston who had come to Salem by 1800 and
had a house (now gone) on North Street, near the "Witch House."
Nathaniel Weston (Jr.) was bred to the sea as a mariner. He went privateering
during the War of 1812 and was captured and imprisoned at Dartmoor Prison,
in England. He returned to Salem in 1815, at the end of the war. In October,
1815, he shipped out as a crewman on board the brig "Hope," for South
America (~CL). He was described as 22, light complected and 5' 4" tall. By
Octobeer, 1817, he was a mariner on board the brig "Betsey," sailing for
Matanzas (SCL).
Capt. Nathaniel Weston became a shipmaster and in 1819 married Christiana
Waters (1795-1877), of an old Salem family. They would have four sons and a
daughter. He was successful as a mariner and was able to come ashore c.1829
and set up as an import-export merchant. In 1830 they moved to Williams Street
and resided in a house which may have occupied the site of this one. It is evident
that some houses that stood hereabouts in the early 19th century were removed.
Early history.
In October, 1789, John Gardner, merchant, for 150 Ii sold to Henry Williams,
mariner, a store or warehouse, part of a barn, and a well on about 20 poles of
ground bounded s. on a way by the north side of the Common, w. on land of
Putnam, and n. & e. on land of Williams (ED 148:248). Capt. Henry Williams
would proceed to lay out Williams Street through this and adjoining parcels of
land. Just as that was happening, in February, 1796,
�Captain Williams for $850 sold to Nehemiah Adams, cabinet-maker, the same 20
poles of land and buildings that he had bought in 1789 (ED 159:232); and in
September, 1796, Williams sold to Adams (for $511.50) the adjoining piece of
land (46.5.poles in area) fronting 80' on Williams Street (ED 161!55).
Nehemiah Adams had a house built on the land. He took out a mortgage in
March, 1810, for $6500, from Henry White Jr., merchant, who soon foreclosed
and in October, 1811, sold the premises (house, shop, land) for $6500 to his
brother Col. Joseph White Jr., merchant (ED 202:182). Colonel White, who
lived nearby in a brick mansion, died in 1816; and the Williams Street property
remained in his estate for eleven years.
In August, 1827, Mrs. Eliza (Story) White for $4200 sold the land, house, and
store to Nathaniel Weston (ED 247:30}.
Captain Weston and family moved from Pickman Street evidently, for in 1829 he
("merchant") sold a house and land on Pickman Street (corner of Pleasant) to
Capt. John Bertram. This was the first mention of Weston as a merchant; hitherto,
he had been a shipmaster. In 1831 (valuation) Nathaniel Weston and Benjamin
Stone were listed at the same house, Williams Street.
The Weston homestead at Williams Street included a house worth $3000$3500, and the shop worth $500 (per valuations, 1830 p. 40, 1831 p. 59}.
Presumably these were the buildings owned by Nehemiah Adams, cabinet
maker, when, in 1810, he had mortgaged the property for $6500.
The house evidently stood on the site of this one, but was a different house,
purely on stylistic grounds-a house dating from 1796-1810 would have been built
in the "Federal" style, whereas this house is in the Greek Revival style, which
would not appear until 1835 or so in Salem.
Evidence from Valuations.
In 1831 (per valuation), Nathaniel Weston and Benjamin Stone occupied a house
on Williams Street. In the 1832 valuation (p. 59} Captain Weston was assessed
for a house, Williams St., and land under Adams' shop, total $3500, and also for a
house on Essex Street, $1000. Likely Adams's shop stood on the corner.
In 1838 (p. 66), Nathaniel Weston was assessed for "new house at 9 Brown," not
yet valued, also for house "9 Williams" valued at $3500, also "65 Essex" worth
$1000. Note that the "shop" had disappeared. The new house is the
2
�one now fronting on Washington Square, next to the Witch Museum (formerly
the East Church) and at the corner of Williams Street. Evidently mason
Benjamin Stone occupied the old house on Williams Street (p. 61, notation in
pencil).
In the 1839 valuation (p. 67), Nathaniel Weston was assessed for his own house
at 9 Brown, $2500, for an "unfinished house" (pencil notation) $2500, and for 65
Essex, $1000.
The "unfinished house" is probably this one (the brick double house at 7-9). The
former house was probably removed, perhaps farther down Williams Street. In
the 1840 valuation, the house (formerly "unfinished") was valued at $4000. At
that time, Benjamin Stone was listed as occupying 9 Williams.
Having resided here in the late 1830s, Mr. Stone may have been the mason
involved in the construction of this house for Captain Weston.
In the 1841 valuation (p. 59), Benjamin Stone was listed at 9 Williams Street,
while (p. 49) Thomas Kinsley was listed as having come from Ward 3 to Williams
Street, a move which perhaps placed him here, since the 1842 valuation (pp.
48-9, p. 58) shows Benjamin Stone and Thomas & John Kinsley at "9 Williams"
(with James Kinsley at "7 Mall Street").
In 1844 (per Street Book), John Messervey and family resided here (#7).
In the 1845 valuation, Nathaniel Weston resided at 9 Brown ($2500), while his
house worth $4500 was evidently occupied by James Kinsley (#7, p. 47) and by
Benjamin Stone (#9).
Per the 1850 valuation (p. 71) Nathaniel Weston owned houses worth
$4500, $2500, and $1000 (locations not noted).
The 1851 Henry McIntyre atlas shows a modest-sized rectangular building on
this spot (#7-9), fronting the street, without rear ells.
In 1854, Captain Weston's valuation (p. 89) shows his house at 9 Brown as
worth $5000, 65 Essex at $1000, and 7 Williams at $2000. Evidently 9 Williams
was then assessed separately.
The 1855 valuation assessed Nathaniel Weston (p. 86) for 9 Brown Street
($6000), 65 Essex ($1000), and 7 Williams ($2000), with personal property
worth $30,000.
3
�So it remained in 1856 (p. 9~); but in 1857 the value of the "Williams Street" house
had jumped to $7000. The long-time tenant, Benjamin Stone (who likely had paid
taxes on #9), had just moved to another house on Williams Street, so (evidently)
Captain Weston had proceeded to enlarge and remodel the double house at 7-9.
The 1857 valuation was no fluke, and was confirmed by the same valuation in
1858.
It is impossible to say what changes were made in 1856 to the house that was
completed by 1840.
People who lived here.
James Kinsley (1811-1852) was born in Salem in 1811, the son of James Kinsley
& Lydia Owens, who had married in 1805. Evidently his siblings were Jane,
Lydia, Thomas, and John. His father, probably a mariner, died in 1834, aged 48;
and his mother would die in 1854.
James Kinsley (Jr.) was a mariner. In 1830, aged 20, he was described as 5' 8"
tall, fair complected and fight haired, sailing on board the brig "Plato," Capt.
George Creamer, bound for Maranham in Brazil. The first mate was Samuel B.
Kehew and there were four other crewmen. James does not afterwards appear
in the usual Salem records, so he may have sailed out of Boston or perhaps
primarily sailed as a coaster, to American ports rather than overseas.
In the 1830s, Salem's main business was leather-making, for the city's maritime
commerce had failed in all but Brazil, Zanzibar, and a few other markets. Salem's
remaining merchants took their equity out of wharves and warehouses and ships
and put it into manufacturing and transportation, as the advent of railroads and
canals diverted both capital and trade away from the coast. Some merchants did
not make the transition, and were ruined. Old-line areas of work, like
rope-making, sail-making, and ship chandleries, gradually declined and
disappeared. Salem slumped badly, but in 1836 the voters decided to charter
their town as the third city to be formed in the state, behind Boston and Lowell.
City Hall was built 1837-8 and the city seal was adopted with an
already-anachronistic Latin motto of "to the farthest port of the rich East"-a far cry
from "Go West, young man!" The Panic of 1837, a brief, sharp, nationwide
economic depression, brought economic disaster to many younger
businessmen, and caused even more Salem families to depart in search of a
better future.
In September, 1836, James Kinsley married Mahala Cheever (1814-1852), born
in Beverly, daughter of Ebenezer Cheever and Hannah Coffin. Evidently
4
�they had no children. In the 1837 Directory, James Kinsley, mariner, is listed at 7
Williams, while his mother, Mrs. Lydia (Owens) Kinsley, is at 9 Williams.
Salem had not prepared for the industrial age, and had few natural
advantages. The North River served not to power factories but mainly to flush
the waste from the 25 tanneries that had set up along its banks. Throughout
the 1830s, the leaders of Salem scrambled to re-invent an economy for their
fellow citizens, many of whom were mariners without much sea-faring to do.
Ingenuity, ambition, and hard work would have to carry the day.
One inspiration was the Salem Laboratory, Salem's first science-based
manufacturing enterprise, founded in 1813 to produce chemicals. At the plant
built in 1818 in North Salem, the production of alum and blue vitriol was a
specialty; and it proved a very successful business.
Some Salem merchants turned to whaling in the 1830s, which led to the building
of two small steam-powered factories producing high-quality candles and
machine oils at Stage Point. The manufacturing of white lead began in the 1820s,
and grew large after 1830, when Wyman's gristmills on the Forest River were
retooled for making high-quality white lead and sheet lead (the approach to
Marblehead is still called Lead Mills Hill; the empty mill buildings burned down in
1960s).
These enterprises started Salem in a new direction. In 1838 the Eastern Rail
Road, headquartered in Salem, began operating between Boston and Salem,
which gave the local people a direct route to the region's largest market. The new
railroad tracks ran right over the middle of the Mill Pond; the tunnel under
Washington Street was built in 1839; and the line was extended to Newburyport
in 1840.
By 1842 (per directory) James Kinsley, now a cooper, resided here with
Mahala, and so did Benjamin Pearson, tobacconist, and family (soon he
would have a house built on Howard Street).
Note: On Oct. 15, 1844, Nathaniel Weston, Salem merchant (assent of wife
Christiana) for $4500 sold to the proprietors of the East Church (he being one) a
lot fronting 133' 3" on Brown Street, running back about 120' between his land
on the n.e. and land of Samuel Johnson on the s.w. (ED 368:121). On this land
the new East Church would be built.
The 1840s proved to be a decade of explosive growth in Salem's leather
industry, still conducted largely as a mass-production handicraft, and its
new textile manufacturing, applying leading edge machine technology.
5
�The tanning of animal hides and curing of leather, a filthy and smelly enterprise,
took place on and near Boston Street, along the upper North River. In 1844, there
were 41 tanneries; a few years later, that number had doubled and in 1850 they
employed 550 workers. Salem had become one of the largest leather-producers
in America; and it would continue to grow in importance throughout the 1800s.
In 1847, along the inner-harbor shoreline ofthe large peninsula known as Stage
Point, the Naumkeag Steam Cotton Company completed the construction of the
largest steam cotton factory building in the world, four stories high, 60' wide, 400'
long, running 1700 looms and 31,000 spindles to produce millions of yards of
first-quality cotton sheeting and shirting. It was immediately profitable, and 600
people found employment there, many of them living in new houses on The Point.
The cotton sheeting of The Point found a ready market in East Africa, and brought
about a revival of shipping, led by the merchants David Pingree (president of the
Naumkeag company) and John Bertram. Probably Nathaniel Weston was
involved as well.
In Lynn, the factory system was perfected, and that city became the nation's
leading shoe producer. Salem had shoe factories too, and attracted shoe workers
from outlying towns and the countryside. Even the population changed, as
hundreds of Irish families, fleeing the famine in Ireland, settled in Salem and gave
the industrialists a big pool of cheap labor.
The Gothic symbol of Salem's new industrial economy was the outsized
twin-towered granite-and-brick train station-the "stone depot"-smoking and
growling with idling locomotives, standing on filled-in land at the foot of
Washington Street, on the site of shipyards and the merchants' wharves.
The town's shipping consisted of vessels carrying coal and importing hides
from Africa and Brazil, and Down East coasters with cargoes of fuel wood and
lumber. A picture of Salem's waterfront is given by Hawthorne in his
mean-spirited "Introduction" to The Scarlet Letter, which he began while
working in the Custom House.
Per the 1850 directory (based on 1849 data), this house (#7) was occupied by
John Carlton Jr., probably a mariner, son of John Carlton, chaplain at the Alms
House, who lived in the other side with his family. The 1849 Street Book shows
the heads of household at #7 as John Carlton and James Kinsley.
In 1850 (per census, h. 309) '#7 was occupied by the Kinsleys (James, 36,
mariner, Mahala, 34, and Mahala's mother, Mrs. Hannah (Coffin) Cheever,
6
�80), and the Browns (William, 42, English-born mariner, Sarah, 27) and the
Restells (John, 76, born in England, and Thomas, 26, a cigar maker).
Tragically, in 1850 James Kinsley fell desperately ill and became "so furiously
mad, as to render it manifestly dangerous to the peace and safety of the
community." His brother-in-law, Alexander Donaldson (husband of Lydia Kinsley),
petitioned that James be placed in the Lunatic Hospital at Worcester. The probate
court agreed, and the Sheriff, or Rev. James Thompson, was ordered to carry out
the order. James may have been able to return to Salem, where his death, by fits,
was recorded as occurring on July 26, 1852. His widow, Mahala, also died in
1852.
Salem's industrial growth continued through the 1850s, as business expanded,
the population swelled, new churches were built, new workingclass
neighborhoods were developed (especially at The Point, South Salem along
Lafayette Street, in North Salem, off Boston Street, and along the Mill Pond
behind the Broad Street graveyard); and new schools, factories, and stores were
erected. A second, even-larger factory building for the Naumkeag Steam Cotton
Company was added in 1859, down at Stage Point, where a new Methodist
Church went up in 1852; and many neat new homes, boarding-houses, and
stores lined the streets between Lafayette and Congress. The tanning business
continued to boom, as better and larger tanneries were built along Boston Street
and Mason Street; and subsidiary industries sprang up as well, most notably the
J.M. Anderson glue-works on the Turnpike (Highland Avenue).
As it re-established itself as an economic powerhouse, Salem took a strong
interest in national politics. It was primarily Republican, and strongly antislavery,
with its share of outspoken abolitionists, led by Charles Remand, a passionate
speaker who came from one of the city's leading black families. At its Lyceum (on
Church Street) and in other venues, plays and shows were put on, but cultural
lectures and political speeches were given too.
Per the 1855 census (h. 350Y this house was occupied by Jonathan S.
Temple, 45, cabinetmaker, wife Frances, 39, and children Howard, 15, and
infant Frances. This family would soon move to Gloucester.
It should be noted that the owner, Nathaniel Weston, was still residing in his
house overlooking the Common, at the head of Williams Street.
In the late 1850s (once it was renovated and enlarged) this house (#7) was
occupied by Capt. Edward Weston, a son of Nathaniel, and his family
members.

�Edward Weston (1825-1863) was a mariner at sixteen, sailing as a seaman (5' 2",
light complected) on board the brig "Rattler", Capt. John F. Webb, for Zanzibar,
departing Aug. 6, 1841. He made the same voyage in 1842 under Capt. John
Lambert. In 1845 he sailed on the bark "William Schroeder" for India; and in 1847
and 1848 he sailed on board the brig "Emily Wilder" on voyages to Zanzibar.
Edward Weston, 24, was first mate to Capt. Daniel H. Mansfield on board the brig
"Cherokee," bound for the East Indies, departing Salem on June 1, 1849.
Edward Weston became a shipmaster, perhaps sailing out of Boston. In 1856 he
married Angeline McKenzie (1833-1892), 23, daughter of Isabel (Hutchinson)
McKenzie, a native of Scotland, and her late husband Reuben, a Maine-born
Salem shipmaster. In 1857 the Westons had a son Edward S.
In 1860, this house was occupied by Capt. Edward Weston, 35, mariner, wife
Angeline, 27, son Edward, 3, and domestic Susan Bosman, 21, of Nova Scotia;
also by Angeline's mother Mrs. Isabella McKenzie, 62, and brother Roderick
McKenzie, 19, a mariner. Also living here were Joseph H. Millett Jr., a dealer in
hats in Boston, and his wife Isabella, another McKenzie daughter.
With the election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860, it was clear that the Southern
states would secede from the union; and Salem, which had done so much to win
the independence of the nation, was ready to go to war to force others to remain
a part of it.
The Civil War began in April, 1861, and went on for four years, during which
hundreds of Salem men served in the army and navy, and many were killed or
died of disease or abusive treatment while imprisoned. Hundreds more suffered
wounds, or broken health.
Capt. Edward Weston died in 1863, aged 37 years. He left his wife Angeline, 32,
and three young sons, Edward S., 8, Henry E., 4, and William H., 3, who lived
here with Isabella McKenzie, 68, and son Roderick, 25, mariner (1865 census,
h. 419).
During the war, the remaining leather workers went on strike against the owners
for a 10-hour workday, better pay, and improved working conditions. The strike
lasted for weeks, and was non-violent. At the end, the owners won and most of
the men went back to work.
As to the men in uniform, the people of Salem contributed generously to efforts
to alleviate the suffering of the soldiers, sailors, and their families; and there was
great celebration when the war finally ended in the spring of 1865.
8
�Through the 1860s, Salem pursued manufacturing, especially of leather and
shoes and textiles. The managers and capitalists tended to build their new,
grand houses along Lafayette Street (these houses may still be seen, south of
Holly Street; many are in the French Second Empire style, with mansard roofs).
Factory workers lived in smaller houses and tenements.
In 1868, Nathaniel Weston died. By his will, this house evidently stayed in trust
for the benefit of his widow and other family members, no doubt including his
widow Christiana, 73, and his three fatherless grandsons here. Their mother
was well-provided-for. In 1870 (per census, h. 380) the occupants were Mrs.
"Anna" Weston, 37, with $17,000 in r.e. and $40,000 in p.e., with sons Edward,
13, Henry, ten, and William 8, also her mother Mrs. Isabella McKenzie, 73.
In 1870 Salem received its last cargo from Zanzibar. By then, a new Salem &
New York freight steamboat line was in operation. Seven years later, with the
arrival of a vessel from Cayenne, Salem's foreign trade came to an end. After
that, "the merchandise warehouses on the wharves no longer contained silks
from India, tea from China, pepper from Sumatra, coffee from Arabia, spices
from Batavia, gum-copal from Zanzibar, hides from Africa, and the various other
products of far-away countries. The boys have ceased to watch on the Neck for
the incoming vessels, hoping to earn a reward by being the first to announce to
the expectant merchant the safe return of his looked-for vessel. The foreign
commerce of Salem, once her pride and glory, has spread its white wings and
sailed away forever" (Rev. George Bachelder in History of Essex County, II: 65).
Salem continued to prosper, carried forward by the leather-making business. In
1874 the city was visited by a tornado and shaken by a minor earthquake. In the
followtng year, the large Pennsylvania Pier (site of the present coal-fired
harborside electrical generating plant) was completed to begin receiving large
shipments of coal, most of it shipped by rail to the factories on the Merrimack. In
the neck of land beyond the Pier, a new owner began subdividing the old Allen
farmlands into a development called Salem Willows and Juniper Point. In the
U.S. centennial year, 1876, A. G. Bell of Salem announced that he had
discovered a way to transmit voices over telegraph wires.
Mrs. Christiana (Waters) Weston, Nathaniel's widow, died in April, 1877. There
was a lawsuit involving family members in 1878. As a result, in November,
1878, trustees under the will of Nathaniel Weston conveyed to Lawrence W.
Jenkins one-half undivided ofthe real estate bounded e. on
9
�Williams Street, s. on land willed to Weston's widow, w. on now/late land of Estes
and Ruee, and n. on land of the late Daniel Perkins (ED 1013:8). It was subject to
the right of Angeline Weston under the will, and of Charles T. Jenkins (father of
Lawrence, whose mother was Lucy Weston Jenkins, a daughter of Nathaniel
Weston), and the trustees under the will.
In this decade, large numbers of French-Canadian families came to work in
Salem's mills and factories, and more houses and tenements were built. The
better-off workers bought portions of older houses or built small homes for their
families in the outlying sections of the city; and by 1879 the Naumkeag Steam
Cotton mills would employ 1500 people (including hundreds of children) and
produce annually nearly 15 million yards of cloth. Shoemanufacturing businesses
expanded in the 1870s, and 40 shoe factories were employing 600-plus
operatives. Tanning, in both Salem and Peabody, remained a very important
industry, and employed hundreds of breadwinners. On Boston Street in 1879, the
Arnold tannery caught fire and burned down.
In 1879 Mrs. Angeline (McKenzie) Weston married, second, Charles T. Jenkins
(1823-1885), who had married, first, her sister-in-law Lucy D. Weston
(1834-1874), with whom he had a son Lawrence Jenkins. The Jenkinses resided
at then-129 Essex Street in 1880 (per census). It should be noted that Angeline's
eldest son, Edward Stanley Weston, was a graduate of Harvard in 1879. In 1882
he and a chum, L. A. Plumer, went to Europe to make a Grand Tour; but Edward
died in London of typhoid.
After 1877, the house was rented out to non-Weston tenants. In 1880, per
Directory, Josephine J. Mahers lived here. In the 1880s the occupants were
Frederick S. Poor and his family, he being a principal of Buffum, Poor & Co.,
livery stablers, at then-23 Brown Street (per Directory).
In the 1880s and 1890s, Salem kept building infrastructure; and new
businesses arose, and established businesses expanded. Retail stores
prospered; horse-drawn trolleys ran every which-way; and machinists,
carpenters, millwrights, and other specialists all thrived. In 1880, Salem's
manufactured goods were valued at about $8.4 million, of which leather
accounted for nearly half.
In the summer of 1886, the Knights of Labor brought a strike against the
manufacturers for a ten-hour day and other concessions; but the manufacturers
imported labor from Maine and Canada, and kept going. The strikers held out,
and there was violence in the streets, and even rioting; but the owners prevailed,
and many of the defeated workers lost their jobs and suffered, with their families,
through a bitter winter.
10
�By the mid-1880s, Salem's cotton-cloth mills at the Point employed 1400 people
who produced about 19 million yards annually, worth about $1.5 million. The
city's large shoe factories stood downtown behind the stone depot and on Dodge
and Lafayette Streets. A jute bagging company prospered with plants on Skerry
Street and English Street; its products were sent south to be used in
cotton-baling. Salem factories also produced lead, paint, and oil. At the Eastern
Railroad yard on Bridge Street, cars were repaired and even built new. In 1887
the streets were first lit with electricity, replacing gas-light.
Note: In June, 1897, the trustees under the will of Nathaniel Weston sold the
former Nathaniel Weston homestead, fronting on Washington Square
(formerly Brown Street) 57.8' and running 166.8' down Williams Street.
In the 1890s, the house was tenanted by Albert A. Blossom, a traveling
salesman, and family (per Directories). The Blossoms were here until 1899.
In 1900 (per census) the house was occupied by Arthur Quincy, 35, a native of
New Hampshire, working as a bookkeeper at Merchants Bank, Boston; his family
consisted of wife Maud, 29, and sons Lyman, 6, and Josiah, 3. They resided here
for some years.
More factories and more people required more space for buildings, more roads,
and more storage areas. This space was created by filling in rivers, harbors, and
ponds. The once-broad North River was filled from both shores, and became a
canal along Bridge Street above the North Bridge. The large and beautiful Mill
Pond, which occupied the whole area between the present Jefferson Avenue,
Canal Street, and Loring Avenue, finally vanished beneath streets, storage
areas, junk-yards, rail-yards, and parking lots. The South River, too, with its
epicenter at Central Street (the Custom House had opened there in 1805)
disappeared under the pavement of Riley Plaza and New Derby Street, and
some of its old wharves were joined together with much in-fill and turned into
coal-yards and lumber-yards. Only a canal was left, running in from Derby and
Central Wharves to Lafayette Street.
Salem kept growing. The Canadians were followed in the early 20th century by
large numbers of Polish and Ukrainian families, who settled primarily in the
Derby Street neighborhood, and by Sicilians, in the High Street neighborhood.
By the eve of World War One, the bustling, polyglot city supported large
department stores and factories of every description. People from the
surrounding towns, and Marblehead in particular, came to Salem to do their
shopping; and its handsome government buildings, as befit the county seat,
were busy with conveyances of land, lawsuits, and
1
1
�probate proceedings. The city's politics were lively, and its economy was
strong.
In 1910 the house was vacant for a while.
On June 25, 1914, in the morning, in Blubber Hollow (Boston Street at Proctor), a
fire started in small wooden shoe factory. This fire soon raced out of control, for
the west wind was high and the season had been dry. Out of Blubber Hollow the
fire roared easterly, a monstrous front of flame and smoke, wiping out the houses
of Boston Street, Essex Street, and upper Broad Street, and then sweeping
through Hathorne, Winthrop, Endicott, and other residential streets. Men and
machines could not stop it: the enormous fire crossed over into South Salem and
destroyed the neighborhoods west of Lafayette Street, then devoured the
mansions of Lafayette Street itself, and raged onward into the tenement district of
The Point. Despite the combined efforts of heroic fire crews from many towns and
cities, the fire overwhelmed everything in its path: the Naumkeag Steam Cotton
Company factory complex exploded in an inferno. At Derby Street, just beyond
Union, after a 13-hour rampage, the monster died, having consumed 250 acres,
1600 houses, and 41 factories, and leaving three dead and thousands homeless.
Some people had insurance, some did not; all received much support and
generous donations from all over the country and the world. It was one of the
greatest urban disasters in the history of the United States.
In September, 1914, the trustee under the will of Nathaniel Weston for $9000
sold John Ganey of Peabody "the double brick dwelling house now numbered
7 and 9" on Williams Street, bounded east on Williams Street, north on land of
now/late Cousins and formerly of Ray, etc. (ED 2272:419). The lot's
dimensions were not described in feet and inches.
By 1916 #7 was occupied by James E. Fitzgerald and family. Mrs. Mary J.
Fitzgerald was a daughter of the owner, John Ganey. James was a druggist
with a store at then-169 Essex Street. In 1920 he was 53, his wife Mary J., SO,
and their children here were Catherine V., 18, James E., 16, and Geraldine, 12.
In January, 1917, John Ganey sold the unit #7 to his daughter, Mary
Josephine Fitzgerald (ED 2356:576).
Many years later, in 1946, Dolores E. Labrie acquired the property (ED
3444:535, etc.).

ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE Describe important architectural features and evaluate in terms of other buildings
within the corrmunity.
This structures is a fine example of a Greek Revival brick double house. While not numerous in
Sa Lem, variations of this type can be found in this and other neighborhoods (39-41 Washington
Square North, 5-9 Summer St., 2-4 Chestnut St.). Symmetrically arranged, the house has a gable
roof and six-bay facade. The two recessed entries
are located at the center of the building, each with 4-panel doors, full-length sidelights,
transoms, and stone lintels. The windows also have stone lintels as
well as sills. Another feature is the dentiled cornice. Altogether the structure
is restrained, yet elegant in its simplicity.

�Owners & Occupants
Two and A Half Essex Street, Salem
By Amy Kellett & Robert Booth, Public History Services Inc., December 2019.
According to available evidence, this house was built for John Waters,
carpenter & mariner, and wife Mary Felt, in 1850.
On July 30, 1840, Nathaniel Weston, Salem merchant (and wife Christiana), for
$235 sold to John Waters Jr., Salem merchant mariner, a dwelling house and land
on Essex street which Captain Weston had bought of the estate of his
mother-in-law, Christiana Waters (ED 320:85). The grantee was brotherin-law of
the granter. No boundaries or measurements were given for the lot of land.
John Waters Jr., mariner and carpenter, held the property for ten years; and in
1850 he built a new house thereon-this one. The evidence is in the City
Valuations. In the 1850 valuation book, p. 70, we find, for Ward One, in pencil
"John Waters Jr., new house." The 1854 (p. 89) valuations show "John Waters,
house 2 Essex Street, $2500 (in pencil: $2000), and personal estate $1500 (in
pencil: $1000)."
John Waters (1791-1868) was born in Salem, the son of John Waters and
Christiana English. His mother was the daughter of Philip English, the longtime
sexton of the East Church, who owned a homestead here. His father, Capt. John
Waters, died on a voyage at Baltimore, offever, in August, 1797, aged 42 years.
John was just six at the time.
In 1814 the Philip English homestead (house and land) was sold to the widow
Christiana (English) Waters (ED 230:275, 285). Evidently she and some or all of
her children lived here in an old house that her father Philip English had bought in
1784 from the Cann heirs (ED 137:213). In that deed, the land was described as
bounded south on the main street, east on the sea or salt water, and north and
west on land of Masury.
In 1741 John Cann, tailor, had bought from John Masury, baker, for 70 Ii a house
and land bounded as in 1784, Canns to English (ED 82:55). Possibly this is the site
ofthe George Hodges house, standing by 1667, sold to Thomas Roots in 1681,
willed to Katherine (Hodges) Daland, and sold in 1700 to John Masury (per Sidney
Perley, "Part of Salem in 1700, No. 19" in "Essex Antiquarian" magazine).
�As a young boy in Salem in the 1790s, John Waters Jr. saw the old post-war
seaport transformed into a center of world commerce. New foreign markets
brought great riches to the Salem merchants, and raised the level of wealth
throughout the town: new ships were bought and built, more crews joined more
shipmasters, new shops and stores opened, new partnerships were formed, and
new people moved in. Salem's first bank, the Essex Bank, was founded in 1792,
although it "existed in experiment a long time before it was incorporated," per Rev.
William Bentley. From a population of 7921 in 1790, the town would grow by 1500
persons in a decade. At the same time, thanks to the economic policies of
Alexander Hamilton, Salem vessels were able to transport foreign cargoes
tax-free and essentially to serve as the neutral carrying fleet for both Britain and
France, which were at war with each other.
In 1793-4 there was a quasi-war at sea with Britain; and in the late 1790s, there
was agitation in Congress to go to war with France, which was at war with
England. After President Adams' negotiators were rebuffed by the French leaders
in 1797, a quasi-war with France began in summer, 1798, much to the horror of
Salem's George Crowninshield family (father and five shipmaster sons), which
had an extensive trade with France, and whose ships and cargos in French ports
were susceptible to seizure. The quasi-war brought about a political split within the
Salem population. Those who favored war with France (and detente with England)
aligned themselves with the national Federalist party, led by Hamilton and Salem's
Timothy Pickering (the U.S. Secretary of State). These included most of the
merchants, led locally by the Derby family. Those who favored peace with
republican France were the Anti-Federalists, who later became aligned with
Jefferson and his Democratic-Republican party; they were led locally by the
Crowninshields and Whites. For the first few years of this rivalry, the Federalists
prevailed; but after the death of Hasket "King" Derby in 1799 his family's power
flagged.
In 1800, Adams negotiated peace with France and fired Pickering, his
oppositional Secretary of State. Salem's Federalists merchants erupted in anger,
expressed through their newspaper, the Salem Gazette. At the same time, British
vessels began to harass American shipping. Salem owners bought more cannon
and shot, and kept pushing their trade to the farthest ports of the rich East, while
also maintaining trade with the Caribbean and Europe. Salem cargoes were
exceedingly valuable, and Salem was a major center for distribution of
merchandise throughout New England: "the streets about the wharves were alive
with teams loaded with goods for all parts of the country. It was a busy scene with
the coming and going of vehicles, some from long distances, for railroads were
then unknown and all transportation must be carried on in wagons and drays. In
the taverns could be seen
2
�teamsters from all quarters sitting around the open fire in the chilly evenings,
discussing the news of the day or making merry over potations of New England
rum, which Salem manufactured in abundance" (from Hurd's History of Essex
County, 1888, p.65).
The Crowninshields, led by brother Jacob, were especially successful, as their
holdings rose from three vessels in 1800 to several in 1803. Their bailiwick, lower
Derby Street, seemed almost to be a foreign country: in the stores, parrots
chattered and monkeys cavorted, and from the warehouses wafted the exotic
aromas of Sumatran spices and Arabian coffee beans. From the wharves were
carted all manner of strange fruits and blue and red patterned china and piles of
gorgeous silks and figured cloths.
By this time, John Waters Jr. had been apprenticed, evidently to a carpenter; but
he would earn his living as a mariner for many years.
The greatest of the Salem merchants at this time was William "Billy" Gray, who
owned 36 large vessels-15 ships, 7 barks, 13 brigs, 1 schooner-by 1808. Salem
was then still a town, and a small one by our standards, with a total population of
about 9,500 in 1800.
Its fierce politics polarized everything. The two factions attended separate
churches, held separate parades, and supported separate schools, military
companies, and newspapers. Salem's merchants resided mainly on two streets:
Washington (which ended in a wharf on the Inner Harbor, and, above Essex, had
the Town House in the middle) and Essex (particularly between what are now
Hawthorne Boulevard and North Street). The East Parish (Derby Street area) was
for the seafaring families, shipmasters, sailors, and fishermen. In the 1790s,
Federal Street, known as New Street, had more empty lots than fine houses.
Chestnut Street did not exist: its site was a meadow. The Common was not yet
Washington Square, and was covered with hillocks, small ponds and swamps,
utility buildings, and the alms-house. As the 19th century advanced, Salem's
prosperity would sweep almost all of the great downtown houses away (the brick
Joshua Ward house, built 1784, is a notable exception).
The town's merchants, among the wealthiest in the country, had, in Samuel
McIntire, a local architect who could help them realize their desires for large and
beautiful homes in the latest style. While a few of the many new houses went up
in the old Essex-Washington Street axis, most were erected on or near
Washington Square or in the Federalist "west end" (Chestnut, Federal, and upper
Essex Streets). The architectural style (called "Federal" today) had been
developed by the Adam brothers in England and featured fanlight doorways,
palladian windows, elongated pilasters and columns, and large
3
�windows. It was introduced to New England by Charles Bulfinch in 1790. The
State House in Boston was h'is first institutional composition; and soon Beacon
Hill was being built up with handsome residences in the Bulfinch manner.
Samuel McIntire (1757-1811), who was self-educated and who made his living
primarily as a wood-carver and carpenter, was quick to adapt the Bulfinch style to
Salem's larger lots. Mclntire's first local composition, the Jerathmeel Peirce house
(Federal Street), contrasts with his later Adamesque designs. In place of walls of
wood paneling, there now appeared plastered expanses painted in bright colors
or covered in bold wallpapers. The Adam style put a premium on handsome
casings and carvings of central interior features such door-caps and
chimney-pieces (Mclntire's specialty). On the exterior, the Adam style included
elegant fences; and the houses were often built of brick, with attenuated porticoes
and, in the high style, string courses, swagged panels, and even two-story
pilasters. The best example of the new style was the Elias Hasket Derby house,
co-designed by Bulfinch and
McIntire, and built on Essex Street in 1797-8 (demolished in 1815), on the site
of today's Town House Square.
A new bank, the Salem Bank, was formed in 1803, and there were two
insurance companies and several societies and associations. The fierce
politics and commercial rivalries continued.
On Union Street, not far from Bentley's church, on the fourth of July, 1804, was
born a boy who would grow up to eclipse all sons of Salem in the eyes of the
world: Nathaniel Hawthorne, whose father would die of fever while on a voyage to
the Caribbean in 1808. Untimely death was all too typical of Salem's young
seafarers, who fell prey to malaria and other diseases of the Caribbean and
Pacific tropics.
In 1806 the Derbys extended their wharf far out into the harbor, tripling its previous
length. This they did to create more space for warehouses and shipberths in the
deeper water, at just about the time that the Crowninshields had built their great
India Wharf at the foot of now-Webb Street. The other important wharves were
Forrester's (now Central, just west of Derby Wharf), and Union Wharf at the foot of
Union Street; and then, father to the west, a number of smaller wharves extended
into the South River (filled in during the late 1800s), all the way to the foot of
Washington Street. Each had a warehouse or two, and shops for artisans
(coopers, blockmakers, joiners, etc.). The waterfront between Union Street and
Washington Street also had lumber yards and several ship chandleries and
distilleries, with a Market House at the foot of Central Street, below the Custom
House. The wharves and streets were crowded with shoppers, gawkers, hawkers,
sailors, artisans
4
�("mechanics"), storekeepers, and teamsters; and just across the way, on Stage
Point along the south bank of the South River, wooden barks and brigs and ships
were being built.
The ferment of the times is captured in the diary of Rev. William Bentley
(1760-1819), bachelor minister of Salem's East Church and editor ofthe Register
newspaper. His diary is full of references to the civic and commercial doings of the
town, and to the lives and behaviors of all classes of society. By the end of 1806,
when Rev. William Bentley reflected in his diary that (Dec. 2 entry), "while Salem
was under the greatest aristocracy in New England, few men thought, and the few
directed the many. Now the aristocracy is gone and the many govern. It is plain it
must require considerable time to give common knowledge to the people."
Salem's boom came to an end with a crash in January, 1808, when Jefferson and
the Congress imposed an embargo on all shipping in hopes of forestalling war with
Britain. The Embargo, which was widely opposed in New England, proved futile
and nearly ruinous in Salem, where commerce ceased. As a hotbed of
Democratic-Republicanism, Salem's East Parish and its seafarers, led by the
Crowninshields, loyally supported the Embargo until it was lifted in spring, 1809.
Shunned by the other Salem merchants for his support of the Embargo, the
eminent Billy Gray took his large fleet of ships-fully one-third of Salem's
tonnage-and moved to Boston, whose commerce was thereby much augmented.
He removed a large amount of Salem wealth, shipping, import-export cargos, and
local employment. Gray soon switched from the Federalist party, and was elected
Lt. Governor under Gov. Elbridge Gerry, a native of Marblehead. Salem resumed
its seafaring commerce for three years. We see John Waters at sea in 1811, aged
twenty. He had probably completed an apprenticeship as a carpenter, and had
chosen to try the life of a mariner.
John was 5' 5" tall, light-complected and fair-haired, when a seaman on board
the Salem 240-ton ship "Mary Ann," departing for Russia on May 6, 1811
(SCL). He was home by early 1812: on Jan. 31, 1812, the 220-ton brig
"Diomede" cleared for Madras, India, with John among the crewmen.
The British preyed on American shipping; and in June, 1812, war was declared.
Although the merchants had tried to prevent the war, when it came, Salem
swiftly fitted out 40 privateers manned by Marblehead and Salem crews, who
also served on U.S. Navy vessels, including the frigate "Constitution." Many
more local vessels could have been sent against the British, but some of the
Federalist merchants held them back. In addition, Salem fielded companies of
infantry and artillery. Salem and Marblehead privateers were largely successful
in making prizes of British supply vessels.
5
�While many ofthe town's men were wounded in engagements, and some were
killed, the possible riches of privateering kept the men returning to sea as often as
possible. The first prizes were captured by a 30-ton converted fishing schooner,
the "Fame," and by a 14-ton luxury yacht fitted with one gun, the "Jefferson." Of all
Salem privateers, the Crowninshields' 350-ton ship "America" was most
successful: she captured 30-plus prizes worth more than $1,100,000.
Salem erected forts and batteries on its Neck, to discourage the British warships
that cruised these waters. On land, the war went poorly for the United States, as
the British captured Washington, DC, and burned the Capitol and the White
House. Along the western frontier, U.S. forces were successful against their
weaker opponents; and, as predicted by many, the western expansionists had
their day. At sea, over time, Salem vessels were captured, and its men imprisoned
or killed. After almost three years, the war was bleeding the town dry. Hundreds of
Salem men and boys were in British prison-ships and at Dartmoor Prison in
England. Perhaps one was John Waters.
At the Hartford Convention in 1814, New England Federalist delegates met to
consider what they could do to bring the war to a close and to restore the region's
commerce. Sen. Timothy Pickering of Salem led the extreme Federalists in
proposing a series of demands which, if not met by the federal government, could
lead to New England's seceding from the United States; but Harrison G. Otis of
Boston and the Federalist moderates prevailed in sending a mild message to
Congress.
At last, in February, 1815, peace was restored.
Post-war, the Salem merchants rebuilt their fleet and resumed their worldwide
trade, slowly at first, and then to great effect. Many new partnerships were formed.
The pre-war partisan politics of the town were not resumed, as the newly powerful
middle-class "mechanics" (artisans) brought about civic harmony, largely through
the Salem Charitable Mechanic Association (founded 1817) ..
John Waters resumed his seafaring as a merchant mariner on board the brig
"Mercator," which departed for South America on Aug. 30, 1816. John would have
a berth on this vessel, commanded by Samuel B. Graves, for the next several
years, during which he rose to the rank of Second Mate (1817) and then First Mate
(in November, 1818). In the years 1816-1823 he made ten voyages on board the
"Mercator," usually to Brazil, but finally to Antwerp (departing May 21, 1823)
(SCL).
6
�During this period, too, he purchased (in 1820, from Joseph Waters) a
homestead at then-19 Daniels Street (ED 225:30). John, 25, had married a
widow, Mary (Felt) Kinsman, 31, in August, 1816; and they may have had
children by 1820.
Rev. William Bentley, keen observer and active citizen during Salem's time of
greatest prosperity and fiercest political divisions, died at the end of 1819, the year
in which a new U.S. Custom House was built on the site of the George
Crowninshield mansion, at the head of Derby Wharf. Into the 1820s foreign trade
continued prosperous; and new markets were opened with Madagascar (1820),
which supplied tallow and ivory, and Zanzibar (1825), whence came coffee, ivory,
hides, and gum copal, used to make varnish. This opened a huge and lucrative
trade with East Africa in which Salem dominated.
John Waters found a new berth on board the Salem brig "Mercator," commanded
by his brother-in-law Nathaniel Weston (1793-1868). From 1826 to 1830 he made
nine overseas voyages on board this vessel, always as First Mate, and always
under Captain Weston except for the last voyage, to Havana, departing Sept. 15,
1830, under Capt. Seth Rogers. Usually there were 5-8 crewmen on board. Most
of these voyages were to ports in Brazil, to get cargoes of hides for the leather
trade; some were described as having the West Indies (Caribbean) as the
destination.
Salem's general maritime foreign commerce fell off sharply in the late 1820s.
Imports in Salem ships were supplanted by the goods now being produced in
great quantities in America. The interior of the country was being opened for
settlement, and some Sale mites moved away. To the north, the falls of the
Merrimack River powered large new textile mills (Lowell was founded in 1823),
whose cotton cloth, sold at home and overseas, created great wealth for their
investors; and it seemed that the tide of opportunity was ebbing away from Salem.
Salem's merchants and capitalists were already prospering from ownership of an
iron-products factory in Amesbury and from a textile factory they had built in
Newmarket, NH, so they saw the potential of manufacturing in Salem. In 1826, in
an ingenious attempt to stem the flow of talent from the town and to harness its
potential water power, they formed a corporation to dam the North River for
industrial power; but the attempt was abandoned in 1827, which further
demoralized the town, and caused several leading citizens to move to Boston, the
hub of investment in the new economy.
In 1830 occurred a horrifying crime that brought disgrace to Salem. Old Capt.
Joseph White, a wealthy merchant, resided in the house now called the
Gardner-Pingree house, on Essex Street. One night, someone broke into his
7
�mansion and killed him in his bed. All of Salem buzzed with the news of murderous
thugs; but the killer was a Crowninshield (a fallen son of one of the five brothers; he
killed himself in jail). He had been hired by Capt. White's own relatives, Capt.
Joseph Knapp and his brother Frank (they would be executed). The results of the
investigation and trial having uncovered much that was lurid, and several
respectable families quit the now-notorious town.
John Waters "swallowed the anchor" and came ashore in early 1831, aged about
forty, old for a mariner. Thereafter, he evidently worked in Salem as a carpenter.
He and his wife Mary had two children by then, Eliza and Edward.
As the decade wore on, Salem's remaining merchants took their equity out of
wharves and warehouses and ships and put it into manufacturing and
transportation, as the advent of railroads and canals diverted both capital and trade
away from the coast. Some merchants did not make the transition, and were
ruined. Old-line areas of work, like rope-making, sail-making, and ship chandleries,
gradually declined and disappeared. Salem slumped badly, but in 1836 the voters
decided to charter their town as the third city to be formed in the state, behind
Boston and Lowell. City Hall was built 1837-8 and the city seal was adopted with an
already-anachronistic Latin motto of "to the farthest port of the rich East" -a far cry
from "Go West, young man!"
The Panic of 1837, a brief, sharp, nationwide economic depression, brought
economic disaster to many younger businessmen, and caused even more
Salem families to depart in search of fortune and a better future.
Salem had not prepared for the industrial age, and had few natural
advantages. The North River served not to power factories but mainly to
flush the waste from the 25 tanneries that had set up along its banks.
Throughout the 1830s, the leaders of Salem scrambled to re-invent an
economy for their fellow citizens, many of whom were mariners without much
sea-faring to do. Ingenuity, ambition, and hard work would have to carry the
day.
One inspiration was the Salem Laboratory, Salem's first science-based
manufacturing enterprise, founded in 1813 to produce chemicals. At the plant
built in 1818 in North Salem, the production of alum and blue vitriol was a
specialty; and it proved a very successful business.
Some Salem merchants turned to whaling in the 1830s, which led to the building
of two small steam-powered factories producing high-quality candles and
machine oils at Stage Point. The manufacturing of white lead began in the
1820s, and grew large after 1830, when Wyman's gristmills on the Forest River
were retooled for making high-quality white lead and sheet
8
�lead (the approach to Marblehead is still called Lead Mills Hill, although the
empty mill buildings burned down in 1960s).
These enterprises started Salem in a new direction. In 1838 the Eastern Rail
Road, headquartered in Salem, began operating between Boston and Salem,
which gave the local people a direct route to the region's largest market. The new
railroad tracks ran right over the middle of the Mill Pond; the tunnel under
Washington Street was built in 1839; and the line was extended to Newburyport
in 1840.
The 1840s proved to be a decade of explosive growth in Salem's leather industry,
still conducted largely as a mass-production handicraft, and its new textile
manufacturing, applylng leading edge machine technology.
John Waters, of 19 Daniels Street, appears in the Salem Directory in 1837 as a
laborer, and thereafter, through the 1840s, as a carpenter. Perhaps he had
become a building contractor, or perhaps a specialist in some aspect of carpentry
such as stair-building.
The tanning of animal hides and curing of leather, a filthy and smelly enterprise,
took place on and near Boston Street, along the upper North River. In 1844, there
were 41 tanneries; a few years later, that number had doubled and in 1850 they
employed 550 workers. Salem had become one of the largest leather-producers
in America; and it would continue to grow in importance throughout the 1800s.
In 1847, along the inner-harbor shoreline of the large peninsula known as Stage
Point, the Naumkeag Steam Cotton Company completed the construction of the
largest steam cotton factory building in the world, four stories high, 60' wide, 400'
long, running 1700 looms and 31,000 spindles to produce millions of yards of
.first-quality cotton sheeting and shirting. It was immediately profitable, and 600
people found employment there, many of them living in new houses on The Point.
The cotton sheeting of The Point found a ready market in East Africa, and
brought about a revival of shipping, led by the merchants David Pingree
(president of the Naumkeag company) and John Bertram.
In Lynn, the factory system was perfected, and that city became the nation's
leading shoe producer. Salem had shoe factories too, and attracted shoe workers
from outlying towns and the countryside. Even the population changed, as
hundreds of Irish families, fleeing the famine in Ireland, settled in Salem and gave
the industrialists a big pool of cheap labor.
9
�The Gothic symbol of Salem's new industrial economy was the outsized twintowered granite-and-brick train station-the "stone depot"-smoking and growling
with idling locomotives, standing on filled-in land at the foot of Washington Street,
on the site of shipyards and the merchants' wharves.
In general, foreign commerce waned: in the late 1840s, giant clipper ships sailing
from Boston and New York replaced the smaller vessels that Salem men had
sailed around the world. The town's shipping consisted of vessels carrying coal
and importing hides from Africa and Brazil, and Down East coasters with cargoes
of fuel wood and lumber. A picture of Salem's waterfront is given by Hawthorne in
his mean-spirited "Introduction" to The Scarlet Letter, which he began while
working in the Custom House.
In September, 1850, John Waters, identified as a mariner, for $1225 sold the
Daniels Street homestead to Dennis Lynch, trader (ED 434:1). It would seem that
this house {2½ Essex) had been built by then, as we find in the 1850 valuation
("new house"). It is unknown if the old house, once John's grandfather English's,
was still standing by then.
John Waters (1791-1868), born May, 1791, son of John Waters & Christiana
English, died on May 17, 1868, aged 77 years, paralysis. Hem. 19 Aug. 1816
Mary Felt {1785-1859}, dtr. of John Felt & Susannah Ropes, died 30 June 1859,
paralysis, 74th year. She had m/11806 Jacob Lakeman (died 1814). Known
issue, surname Waters:
1. Edward, 1819, died 2 Jan. 1821, 17 mos.,consumption.
2. Elizabeth, 1823, died 2 Feb. 1882.
3. Edward, 1826-1911, m. Elizabeth Ellen Mullen {1833-1906}, dtr. of John
Mullen (b. Scotland) and Sarah Trefry of Marblehead; she died 12 Nov.
1906, Chelsea.
In 1850, still residing at Daniels Street, the Waters family (census, h. 113)
consisted of John, 59, carpenter, $800 in r.e., Mary, 63, and offspring Eliza, 27,
and Edward, 24, a mariner.
The family moved that year, into the new house here.
Edward Waters was a diligent young mariner, starting at the age of fifteen, on
board the bark "Brenda," Capt. Andrew Ward, departing Oct. 13, 1841, for Ceylon
and Bombay. Edward was then 4' 9", light complected and fair-haired (SCL). Sor
the next few years he shipped out as a seaman on eight more voyages, one to
India, two to Zanzibar, four to South American ports, and
one to Cayenne. In 1849, at 22, he had a growth spurt and went from 4' 11" to 5'
4". He sailed as Second Mate of the brig "Gambia", Capt. George E. Bailey, for
South America, departing June 6, 1849. He then rose to First Mate,
10
�sailing in April 1851 on board the brig "Garland," Capt. Richard Savory, for
Paramaraibo, Surinam, and in August, 1851, on board the brig "Elizabeth
Felton," Capt. Henry B. Manring, for the same port.
After that, he probably sailed out of Boston
In 1855 (per census, h. 274), this was the home of John Waters, 64, carpenter,
Mary, 69, Eliza, 32, and Edward, 29, mariner. At that time, John was making $1
a day as a carpenter (see ED 461:82).
In the late 1850s Edward Waters married Elizabeth Ellen Mullen, the
daughter of a Scotsman, John Mullen, who had married a Marbleheader,
Sarah Trefry. They would live elsewhere.
Salem's industrial growth continued through the 1850s, as business expanded,
the population swelled, new churches were built, new workingclass
neighborhoods were developed (especially at The Point, South Salem along
Lafayette Street, in North Salem, off Boston Street, and along the Mill Pond
behind the Broad Street graveyard); and new schools, factories, and stores were
erected. A second, even-larger factory building for the Naumkeag Steam Cotton
Company was added in 1859, down at Stage Point, where a new Methodist Church
went up in 1852; and many neat new homes, boarding-houses, and stores lined
the streets between Lafayette and Congress. The tanning business continued to
boom, as better and larger tanneries were built along Boston Street and Mason
Street; and subsidiary industries sprang up as well, most notably the J.M.
Anderson glue-works on the Turnpike (Highland Avenue).
As it re-established itself as an economic powerhouse, Salem took a strong
interest in national politics. It was primarily Republican, and strongly antislavery,
with its share of outspoken abolitionists, led by Charles Remond, a passionate
speaker who came from one of the city's leading black families. At its Lyceum (on
Church Street) and in other venues, plays and shows were put on, but cultural
lectures and political speeches were given too.
On June 30, 1859, Mrs. Mary (Felt) Waters died, of paralysis, aged 73 years.
She was survived by her husband and two offspring.
With the election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860, it was clear that the Southern
states would secede from tile union; and Salem, which had done so much to win
the independence of the nation, was ready to go to war to force others to remain
a part of it.

�In that year, this house (per census, h. 2016) was the home of John Waters, 69,
carpenter, with r.e. worth $2000, his daughter Eliza, 37, and his son Edward,
mariner, 34, and Edward's wife Elizabeth, 26.
The Civil War began in April, 1861, and went on for four years, during which
hundreds of Salem men served in the army and navy, and many were killed or
died of disease or abusive treatment while imprisoned. Hundreds more suffered
wounds, or broken health. The people of Salem contributed greatly to efforts to
alleviate the suffering of the soldiers, sailors, and their families; and there was
great celebration when the war finally ended in the spring of 1865.
At that time this house was occupied by John Waters, 74, carpenter, and his
daughter Eliza, 42 (per census, h. 584).
Through the 1860s, Salem pursued manufacturing, especially of leather and
shoes and textiles. The managers and capitalists tended to build their new, grand
houses along Lafayette Street (these houses may still be seen, south of Holly
Street; many are in the French Second Empire style, with mansard roofs). Factory
workers, living in smaller houses and tenements, wanted something better for
themselves: in 1864 they went on strike for higher wages and fewer hours of work.
On May 17, 1868, John Waters died in his 77th year. The property descended to
Elizabeth and Edward.
In 1870 Salem received its last cargo from Zanzibar. By then, a new Salem & New
York freight steamboat line was in operation. Seven years later, with the arrival of
a vessel from Cayenne, Salem's foreign trade came to an end. After that, "the
merchandise warehouses on the wharves no longer contained silks from India, tea
from China, pepper from Sumatra, coffee from Arabia, spices from Batavia,
gum-copal from Zanzibar, hides from Africa, and the various other products of
far-away countries. The boys have ceased to watch on the Neck for the incoming
vessels, hoping to earn a reward by being the first to announce to the expectant
merchant the safe return of his looked-for vessel. The foreign commerce of Salem,
once her pride and glory, has spread its white wings and sailed away forever"
(Rev. George Bachelder in History of Essex County, II: 65).
Edward Waters and wife Elizabeth moved to Boston. He added the middle
initial S., for Stanley.

�In 1870 (per census, h.161) Eliza Waters, 47, resided here, as did tenants
Albert Cummings, a Maine-born merchant with $4000 in property, and his son
William, 21, born in New Hampshire.
In April, 1872, Edward Waters, of Boston, for $1000 sold his half-interest in the
homestead to his sister Eliza, who lived there and owned the other half (ED
853:132). The lot was bounded south on Essex Street and west on the Saul
heirs.
Salem continued to prosper in the 1870s, carried forward by the leathermaking
business. In 1874 the city was visited by a tornado and shaken by a minor
earthquake. In the following year, the large Pennsylvania Pier (site of the present
coal-fired harborside electrical generating plant) was completed to begin
receiving large shipments of coal, most of it shipped by rail to the factories on the
Merrimack. In the neck of land beyond the Pier, a new owner began subdividing
the old Allen farmlands into a development called Salem Willows and Juniper
Point. In the U. S. centennial year, 1876, A. G. Bell of Salem announced that he
had discovered a way to transmit voices over telegraph wires.
In this decade, large numbers of French-Canadian families came to work in
Salem's mills and factories, and more houses and tenements were built. The
better-off workers bought portions of older houses or built small homes for their
families in the outlying sections of the city; and by 1879 the Naumkeag Steam
Cotton mills would employ 1500 people (including hundreds of children) and
produce annually nearly 15 million yards of cloth. Shoemanufacturing businesses
expanded in the 1870s, and 40 shoe factories were employing 600-plus
operatives. Tanning, in both Salem and Peabody, remained a very important
industry, and employed hundreds of breadwinners. On Boston Street in 1879, the
Arnold tannery caught fire and burned down.
In 1880 (per census, h. 234), this was the home of Eliza Waters, 57, in one unit,
and in the other Charles Converse, 44, a railroad engineer, wife Olive, 41, and
son Frederick W., 20, a brass finisher.
Eliza Waters died on February 2, 1882, aged 59 years. She was survived by her
brother, Edward S. Waters of Chelsea. Evidently she willed some or all of her
property to Lakeman relatives of her mother's first marriage. In May, 1882, these
heirs sold their interest in the homestead here to Edward S. Waters of Boston (ED
1083:117). He would lease it out for 13 years.
In the 1880s and 1890s, Salem kept building infrastructure; and new
businesses arose, and established businesses expanded. Retail stores
1
3
�prospered; horse-drawn trolleys ran every which-way; and machinists,
carpenters, millwrights, and other specialists all thrived. In 1880, Salem's
manufactured goods were valued at about $8.4 million, of which leather
accounted for nearly half.
In the summer of 1886, the Knights of Labor brought a strike against the
manufacturers for a ten-hour day and other concessions; but the manufacturers
imported labor from Maine and Canada, and kept going. The strikers held out,
and there was violence in the streets, and even rioting; but the owners prevailed,
and many of the defeated workers lost their jobs and suffered, with their families,
through a bitter winter.
By the mid-1880s, Salem's cotton-cloth mills at the Point employed 1400 people
who produced about 19 million yards annually, worth about $1.5 million. The city's
large shoe factories stood downtown behind the stone depot and on Dodge and
Lafayette Streets. A jute bagging company prospered with plants on Skerry
Street and English Street; its products were sent south to be used in
cotton-baling. Salem factories also produced lead, paint, and oil. At the Eastern
Railroad yard on Bridge Street, cars were repaired and even built new. In 1887
the streets were first lit with electricity, replacing gas-light. The gas works, which
had stood on Northey Street since 1850, was moved to a larger site on Bridge
Street in 1888, opposite the Beverly Shore.
In December, 1895, Edward S. Waters, of Chelsea, for $2400 sold the
homestead to John I. Comstock of Salem (ED 1465:102). The lot, which had
not previously been described in dimensions, was recorded as fronting on
Essex Street 76.5' and running back about 47' in depth.
Thus after 45 years the house passed out of the name of Waters. The land
here had been in the family since 1784.
John I. Comstock was a native of Lewiston, Maine. In 1900 (per census, h. 249,
2½ Essex) he, 40, resided here, working as the chief stationary engineer at the
Pennsylvania Pier (large coal and railroad facility on Salem Harbor), with wife
Anna/Annie (nee Henningsen), 39, and son George, 17, a piano tuner. Also
residing here were Charles Kent, 38, a baker from Woburn, wife Rebecca (nee
Liebsch), 30, and Charles' daughter by a first marriage, Josephine L., 13. Anna
and Rebecca were perhaps cousins; the parents of both were born in Denmark,
as was Annie.
John I. Comstock died of heart disease on January 10, 1904. His remains were
interred at Greenlawn Cemetery. In March, 1904, his son George J.
1

�Comstock, having moved to Washington, DC, conveyed the premises to his
mother, Annie E. (Henningsen) Comstock, Salem widow (ED 1737:247).
More factories and more people required more space for buildings, more roads,
and more storage areas. This space was created by filling in rivers, harbors, and
ponds. The once-broad North River was filled from both shores, and became a
canal along Bridge Street above the North Bridge. The large and beautiful Mill
Pond, which occupied the whole area between the present Jefferson Avenue,
Canal Street, and Loring Avenue, finally vanished beneath streets, storage areas,
junk-yards, rail-yards, and parking lots. The South River, too, with its epicenter at
Central Street (the Custom House had
opened there in 1805) disappeared under the pavement of Riley Plaza and
New Derby Street, and some of its old wharves were joined together with much
in-fill and turned into coal-yards and lumber-yards. Only a canal was left,
running in from Derby and Central Wharves to Lafayette Street.
Salem kept growing. The Canadians were followed in the early 20th century by
large numbers of Polish and Ukrainian families, who settled primarily in the Derby
Street neighborhood, and by Sicilians, in the High Street neighborhood. By the
eve of World War One, the bustling, polyglot city supported large department
stores and factories of every description. People from the surrounding towns, and
Marblehead in particular, came to Salem to do their shopping; and its handsome
government buildings, as befit the county seat, were busy with conveyances of
land, lawsuits, and probate proceedings. The city's politics were lively, and its
economy was strong.
In September, 1912, the Comstocks sold the homestead to Helen Zaborowski,
whose husband was named lgnecy (ED 2167:458). For almost 50 years they
owned the premises.
On June 25, 1914, in the morning, in Blubber Hollow (Boston Street at Proctor), a
fire started in small wooden shoe factory. This fire soon raced out of control, for
the west wind was high and the season had been dry. Out of Blubber Hollow the
fire roared easterly, a monstrous front of flame and smoke, wiping out the houses
of Boston Street, Essex Street, and upper Broad Street, and then sweeping
through Hathorne, Winthrop, Endicott, and other residential streets. Men and
machines could not stop it: the enormous fire crossed over into South Salem and
destroyed the neighborhoods west of Lafayette Street, then devoured the
mansions of Lafayette Street itself, and raged onward into the tenement district of
The Point. Despite the combined efforts of heroic fire crews from many towns and
cities, the fire overwhelmed everything in its path: the Naumkeag Steam Cotton
Company factory complex exploded in an inferno. At Derby Street, just beyond
Union, after a 13-hour rampage, the monster died, having consumed 250 acres,
1
5
�1600 houses, and 41 factories, and leaving three dead and thousands homeless.
Some people had insurance, some did not; all received much support and
generous donations from all over the country and the world. It was one of the
greatest urban disasters in the history of the United States, and the people of
Salem would take years to recover from it. Eventually, they did, and many of the
former houses and businesses were rebuilt; and several urban-renewal projects
(including Hawthorne Boulevard, which involved removing old houses and
widening old streets) were put into effect.
By 1920 Salem was once again a thriving city; and its tercentenary in 1926 was
a time of great celebration. The Depression hit in 1929, and continued through
the 1930s. Salem, the county seat and regional retail center, gradually
rebounded.
Salem prospered after Worlc'.:I War II through the 1950s and into the 1960s.
General Electric, Sylvania, Parker Brothers, Pequot Mills (formerly Naumkeag
Steam Cotton Co.), Almy's and Newmark's and Webber's department stores,
various other retailers, and Beverly's United Shoe Machinery Company were all
major local employers.
Eventually the Salem Savings Bank foreclosed on its mortgage and in 1961
conveyed the property Lauren R. L'ltalien (ED 4754:160). That same year the
premises were sold to Mary E. Carr & Mary E. Grocki (ED 4826:288). In 1994 the
Grocki Family Realty trust sold to the Opie & Pelletier (ED 14006:147). In 2004
the Pelletiers sold to Sanprasert & Phongrong (ED 22741:381). The homestead
has been sold several times since then.

�Owners & Occupants
21½ Buffum Street, Salem
By Robert Booth, Public History Services Inc., December 2019.
According to available evidence, this house was built in 1905 for John
Broadley, tannery owner.
In October, 1898, John Broadley bought from Christopher McGrane "a certain lot
of land" with buildings, bounded n.e. on Buffum Street, n.w. on land of Buffum,
s.w. on land of Mayo, and s.e. on land of Hanson (ED 1558:419). The 1897 atlas
of Salem shows the footprint of only one house on this lot-the one now #23, plus a
small shed. This house (#21½) would be built between 1905 and 1906 in the rear
of that lot, which was empty in 1897. Prior to 1906, the Salem directories have no
listing for a house in this location; starting in 1906, the directories do show a house
here at 21½.
John Broadley (1867-1907) was born in the Wyoma section of Lynn, the son of
Hugh Broadley and Johannah Keefe.
In 1860 in Salem (per census, h. 389) Hugh Broadley, 33, born in England, was
working as an engraver and residing in the house of John Jones, 45, also born in
England, a cotton printer. They worked in a textile factory, perhaps together, Hugh
engraving the patterns and John printing them onto the fabric.
Hugh Broadley came from a textile-printing family (info from Internet source). He
was born 1826 in Great Harwood, a small town in Lancashire, England, the son of
John Broadley & Maria Ryding. His father, John, was a block-printer of textiles
and later a fabrics dealer. Hugh was apprenticed to a calico engraver in Enfield,
England; and in 1850 he left for America. As we have seen, he was living in Lynn
by 1860; and on Dec. 24, Christmas Eve, of that year Hugh, 35, married Johannah
(Hannah) Keefe, 34, born in Ireland. By 1865 the couple and two children were
living in South Danvers (soon to be renamed Peabody), where (per census, h.
124) they resided in a house also occupied by the family of George Orr, 56, an
Englishman working as a cloth printer. Hugh was then described as 39, an
engraver, with wife Hannah, 38, and children Maria, 3, and John, one. In the
1860s Hugh changed his specialty from textile engraving to leather engraving,
much in demand in Salem.
In March, 1867, Hugh Broadley for $1300 purchased a house and land on
Phillips Street in Salem, and the family moved in. In 1870 (per census) the
�Broadleys rented out part of the house to tenants, Joseph Tomlinson, 29, an
English-born engineer, and His wife and three children, while the Broadleys
occupied the rest: Hugh, 44, machinist, wife Hannah, 43, and children Maria, 9,
John, 7, and Mary E., five.
John Broadley and his two sisters would grow up in this general
neighborhood, above Harmony Grove and Mack Park.
Salem, formerly an important seaport, had become a manufacturing center by
the 1870s. The largest textile factory was that of the Naumkeag Steam Cotton
Company, at the foot of Harbor Street, on the Point; but the major employer was
the leather industry, whose factories and tanneries lined Boston Street and
Mason Street, near the Broadley house.
Salem continued to prosper in the 1870s, carried forward by manufacturing,
especially of leather and shoes and textiles. The managers and capitalists tended
to build their new, grand houses along Lafayette Street (these houses may still be
seen, south of Holly Street; many are in the French Second Empire style, with
mansard roofs).
In 1874 the city was visited by a tornado and shaken by a minor earthquake. In
the U. S. centennial year, 1876, A. G. Bell of Salem announced that he had
discovered a way to transmit voices over telegraph wires.
In this decade, large numbers of French-Canadian families came to work in
Salem's mills and factories, and more houses and tenements were built. The
better-off workers bought portions of older houses or built small homes for their
families in the outlying sections of the city; and by 1879 the Naumkeag Steam
Cotton mills would employ 1500 people (including hundreds of children) and
produce annually nearly 15 million yards of cloth. Forty shoe factories were
employing 600-plus operatives. Tanning, in both Salem and Peabody, remained
a very important industry, and employed hundreds of breadwinners. On Boston
Street in 1879, the Arnold tannery caught fire and burned down.
Salem kept building infrastructure; and new businesses arose, and
established businesses expanded. Retail stores prospered; horse-drawn
trolleys ran every which-way.; and machinists, carpenters, millwrights, and
other specialists all thrived. In 1880, Salem's manufactured goods were valued
at about $8.4 million, of which leather accounted for nearly half.
In 1880 (per census, h. 102), the Broadley family, on Phillips Street, consisted of
Hugh, 54, "engraver for pebbling leather," Hannah, 50, daughter Maria 18,
working at shoe stitching in a factory, Mary E., 14, at school, and John, 16,
2
�working "at tanning." In fact, John Broadley was learning the trade of a
leather-engraver from his father-but he was also paying attention to the big picture
of leather-manufacture. Much later, in an August, 1921, issue of "Hide and Leather
News" trade magazine, there appeared a brief piece on the "The Broadley Rolls"
from an old tanner who recalled watching Hugh cut steel rolls by hand. "He cut a
pebble grain on them and tanners used them to give that effect to their leather."
His son John "cut pebble, seal, alligator, and other fancy grains on the rolls."
The family would remain intact for the next ten years, during which John
Broadley advanced in his trade as an engraver and tanner of leather.
By the mid-1880s, Salem's cotton-cloth mills at the Point employed 1400 people
who produced about 19 million yards annually, worth about $1.5 million. The city's
large shoe factories stood downtown behind the stone depot and on Dodge and
Lafayette Streets, and off Jefferson Avenue near St. Anne's Church. A jute
bagging company prospered with plants on Skerry Street and English Street; its
products were sent south to be used in cottonbaling. Salem factories also
produced lead, paint, and oil. At the Eastern Railroad yard on Bridge Street, cars
were repaired and even built new.
In the summer of 1886, the Knights of Labor brought a strike against the
manufacturers for a ten-hour day and other concessions; but the manufacturers
imported labor from Maine and Canada, and kept going. The strikers held out, and
there was violence in the streets, and even rioting; but the owners prevailed, and
many of the defeated workers lost their jobs and suffered, with their families,
through a bitter winter.
In 1887 the streets were first lit with electricity, replacing gas. The gas works,
which had stood on Northey Street since 1850, was moved to a larger site on
Bridge Street in 1888, opposite the Beverly Shore.
More factories and more people required more space for buildings, more roads,
and more storage areas. This space was created by filling in rivers, harbors, and
ponds. The once-broad North River was filled from both shores, and became a
canal along Bridge Street above the North Bridge. The large and beautiful Mill
Pond, whith occupied the whole area between the present Jefferson Avenue,
Canal Street, and Loring Avenue, finally vanished beneath streets, storage areas,
junk-yards, rail-yards, and parking lots. The South River, too, with its epicenter at
Central Street (the Custom House had
opened there in 1805) disappeared under the pavement of Riley Plaza and
New Derby Street, and some of its old wharves were joined together with much
in-fill and turned into coal-yards and lumber-yards. Only a canal was left,
running in from Derby and Central Wharves to Lafayette Street.
3
�On Nov. 4, 1890, Hugh Broadley died of Bright's disease, in his 55th year. He left
Hannah, 63, and their three grown children. John took over, and conducted
pebble roll cutting in 1893 from the home on Phillips Street.
In February, 1893, John Broadley, 29, engraver, married Harriet E. White, 24, a
native of New Brunswick, Canada. By 1895 (per directory) the couple resided at
then-13 Mason Street, and John was working as a pebble roll cutter at 19
Goodhue St. John & Harriet would have five children, 1893-1902. By 1897 (per
directory) they resided at 11 Tremont Street, and John had started the Salem
Shoe Stock Company, situated at 63 Flint Street, soon to be relocated to Mason
Street.
As mentioned, John Broadley purchased the house at 23 Buffum Street in
1898, to serve as the family residence.
By 1900 (per census), the family was fragmenting: Harriet, 31 resided at then-28
Grove Street with children Edith, 5, Francis, one, and infant George, while John,
37, listed as an engraver, resided at #23 Buffum with son John H., 7, housekeeper
Elizabeth Whitmore, 31, a widow, and boarder Michael Bellew, 23, a teamster.
Meanwhile, John's mother, Hannah, was residing at 15 Phillips with her daughters
Maria, 38, a shoe stitcher by trade, and Mary E. (Broadley) Sullivan, 35, a widow,
with daughter Helen F. Sullivan, 12. John & Harriet had a last child, Charles V.,
born in June, 1902.
In July, 1902, John's mother, Johannah (Keefe) Broadley, died of heart
disease, aged 65 years.
John operated the Salem Shoe Stock Co. and founded the Broadley Leather
Co., with factories at then-67 and 69 Mason Street. Although the business
prospered, things turned tragic in the family. In 1903, Harriet moved to Danvers,
where she would be an inmate at Danvers State Hospital asylum
. (per 1910 census). On July 12, 1905, their son John H. Broadley was killed in an
electric-trolley accident in Salem, three days before his 12th birthday.
John Broadley remained in Salem, attending to his businesses and his children
evidently. In the 1905 City Valuation, John Broadley, newly residing at 162 North
Street, was assessed for various real estate holdings (ward 6, p. 95). In the 1906
City Valuation (ward 6, precinct 11, p. 95), John Broadley, 162 North, was
assessed for real estate including the house at 23 Buffum (valued at $1600) and,
newly, at "house, rear 23 Buffum" (valued at $1800). At 162 North Street he
evidently resided with his sister Maria and some or all of his children. While in
Somerville, on May 16, 1907, John Broadley, fifty, was killed in a car crash.
4
�In 1910 Mrs. Mary E. Sullivan was residing at 23 Buffum, working as the
bookkeeper of the Salem Shoe Stock Co., assisted by her daughter Helen
(stenographer) and by Edward Curran, who superintended the operation and
boarded at #23. At the same time, Maria Broadley, 48, resided at then-162 North
Street with two of her Broadley nephews, George, 10, and Charles, 7 (1910
census, h. 280). Charles would be sent to the Lowell Textile School, from which he
would graduate, with distinction. Mrs. Sullivan and Mr. Curran would run the
Broadley tannery into the 1930s.
The new (1905) house at 21½ Buffum remained in the family and was leased out.
In 1906 the tenants were Walter Stuart Frisbee, thirty, a bank clerk working in
Boston, and Alice M. (Leighton) Frisbee, 34, a Salem school teacher. They had
married on April 12, 1906.
Alice was the daughter of Engllsh immigrants, Thomas and Ann Maria Leighton,
who had come to Salem in 1870 from Britain with a family of three children, to
which a fourth (Henry) was added soon after arrival. By trade Thomas was a
"morocco dresser," a specialty of leather-making. In 1880 the Leighton family
(now including Alice, 8, and Emily, 6) resided at then-14 Ord Street, near the
Peabody Line. By 1900 they resided at then-10 Mason Street, Thomas, 62, still
working as a morocco dresser, Henry, 30, as a store clerk, and Alice, 28, and
Emily, 26, as school teachers (per 1900 census, h. 337)
Walter S. Frisbee was born in Salem in 1876, the last of five children of Andrew
Frisbee, a Maine-born shipwright and spar-builder, and his wife Abby (nee
Burnham). In 1880 the Andrew Frisbees had resided at then-33 Turner Street, and
he had a shop at Hunt's Wharf.
Walter and Alice would have no children.
Salem kept growing. The Canadians were followed in the early 20th century by
large numbers of Polish and Ukrainian families, who settled primarily in the Derby
Street neighborhood, and by Sicilians, in the High Street neighborhood. By the
eve of World War One, the bustling, polyglot city supported large department
stores and factories of every description. People from the surround_ing towns,
and Marblehead in particular, came to Salem to do their shopping; and its
handsome government buildings, as befit the county seat, were busy with
conveyances of land, lawsuits, and probate proceedings. The city's politics were
lively, and its economy was strong.
On June 25, 1914, in the morning, in Blubber Hollow (Boston Street at Proctor),
a fire started in small wooden shoe factory and soon raced out of control, for the
west wind was high and the season had been dry. Out of
5
�Blubber Hollow the fire roared easterly, a monstrous front of flame and smoke,
wiping out the houses of Boston Street, Essex Street, and upper Broad Street,
and then sweeping through Hathorne, Winthrop, Endicott, and other residential
streets. Men and machines could not stop it: the enormous fire crossed over into
South Salem and destroyed the neighborhoods west of Lafayette Street, then
devoured the mansions of Lafayette Street itself, and raged onward into the
wooden homes of The Point. Despite the combined efforts of heroic fire crews
from many towns and cities, the fire overwhelmed everything in its path: the
Naumkeag Steam Cotton Company factory complex exploded in an inferno. At
Derby Street, just beyond Union, after a 13-hour rampage, the monster died,
having consumed 250 acres, 1600 houses, and 41 factories, and leaving three
dead and thousands homeless. Some people had insurance, some did not; all
received much support and generous dona~ions from all over the country and the
world. It was one ofthe greatest urban disasters in the history of the United States.
In short order, businesses were rebuilt and new houses and apartment buildings
went up; and several urban-renewal projects (including Hawthorne Boulevard,
which involved removing old houses and widening old streets) were put into
effect.
By 1915 Walter Frisbee had become a construction engineer for a Boston
bridge-building firm. On March 21, 1916, Mrs. Alice (Leighton) Frisbee died.
Walter moved to then-25 Dearborn Street, and later to 32 Fairmount Street. He
married again; and he and Florence had a daughter, Janet, born in 1921. By 1930
the family resided in Hamilton and Mr. Frisbee was prospering in the business of
"bridge works" (1930 census, Hamilton, h. 388).
The John Broadley heirs still owned the two houses here on Buffum Street. In
March, 1920, Edith Broadley sold her one-fourth interest to her brother Francis J.
of Boston (ED 2441:558). In April, 1921, he sold his half-interest to his aunt, Mrs.
Mary E. Sullivan (ED 2485:499). She bought out George H. Broadley, of Salem, in
May, 1923 (ED 2552:579). In May, 1925, Charles V. Broadley sold his interest to
'Mrs. Sullivan, who thus became sole owner of the premises (ED 2640:571),
which she would remain for many years.
Salem was once again a thriving city; and its tercentenary in 1926 was a time of
great celebration.
In 1926 and perhaps before, this house was occupied by August Wagner and
family. He was a German-born dealer in dry goods. He had married Sarah E.
Swett; and they had one child, Otto Swett Wagner, born in 1897 in Lawrence and
raised in Salem. Otto was a smart boy, and went from Salem High School to
Harvard College (A.B. 1920, A.M. 1921). In 1918, during World War One, he
enrolled in the Navy Reserve and then in the Army as an infantry private.
6
�The war ended before he was deployed, and he resumed his studies at Harvard in
1919. Otto chose teaching as his profession, and resided here with his parents.
August died in 1929 or 1930, aged 64; in 1930 his widow, Sarah, 63, resided here
with her son Otto, 33; and they had moved by 1931. Otto, a high school teacher in
Amesbury, would marry Mildred Woodard and live on until 1960.
In 1931, the house was vacant, at least for a while (per directory). By 1934 (per
directory) the occupants here were E. Parker Hopkins, an insurance agent,
wife Marjorie, and whatever children they may have had.
The Great Depression continued through the 1930s. Salem, the county seat
and regional retail center, gr.adually rebounded.
By 1940 the occupants here were Earl G. Pauley, in the leather business, and
wife Evelyn, 34, both recently arrived from Shirley, Mass. (per census).
After World War II, Salem prospered through the 1950s and into the 1960s.
General Electric, Sylvania, Parker Brothers, Pequot Mills (formerly Naumkeag
Steam Cotton Co.), Almy's and Newmark's and Webber's department stores,
various other retailers, and Beverly's United Shoe Machinery Company were all
major local employers.
In June, 1947, Mrs. Mary E. (Broadley) Sullivan having died, the devisee under
her will, Edward J. Curran (the longtime superintendent of the Broadley tannery),
conveyed the two houses and land to himself and Mary's daughter, Helen F.
Sullivan (ED 3555:417,417).
In 1979, the devisees/heirs of Helen and/or Edward, Herbert & Grace Hill,
subdivided the lot and sold the two houses separately. To Charlene D. Long
went the house at 21½ and its land (Lot 2) in May, 1979 (ED 6596:280).
