�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.
7
�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

�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.).

Oont.r-Lbutring building in existing Na ti oneI Heci..r::.iter dI strict.
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.
