Bridge Street Neck is on a peninsula of land between the North River and Collins Cove. It is a compact
urban neighborhood located a short distance from downtown Salem and serves as an important
gateway into the city from the town of Beverly to the north. The resources of Bridge Street Neck,
ranging from the late 18th century to the present day include the homes of prosperous sea captains
and merchants, as well as the dwellings of the middling and working classes who found employment in
the neighborhood’s maritime-related businesses and, in nearby factories and car shops during the 19th
and early 20th centuries.
In the late 19th century, the growth of Bridge Street Neck was fueled by a variety of neighborhood
industries including factories that produced jute bags, leather, and lead products as well as the repair
shops and car barns for several railroads. This house is located within an area believed to be the first
settlement of Europeans in Salem in 1626 and is one of the first colonies along the New England
coast.1
According to city council records, 2 Burnside Street was officially laid out in 1874 by a petition from
Chase P. Chase and 16 other petitioners, though it had been referred to by that name for at least a
couple of years. This lot (Number 4 on the plan of Charles A. Putnam, dated August 31, 1863) was part
of the Phillip English Estate and was divided into lots after the death of Phillip English, recorded in
18703.

�The house on 7 Burnside Street is set on a stone foundation and is oriented with the gabled end facing
the street. On the East side of the house is a single-story sheltered entrance. This 5x2 bay home is a 2
½ story home that features projecting eaves, and newer windows, except the attic window with its 2
over 2 sashes indicating what the original house windows would have looked like. It was built shortly
after Charles P. Chase purchased the property, likely with the money he received from the mortgage he
obtained in 1871. By the 1874 Atlas of the City of Salem the house is there and shown as owned by
Charles P. Chase.

�Chase Family (1871-1886)
Charles P. Chase was born in Salem around 1840 to James Chase and Abigail Ann Cutler Langley. In
the 1860 census, he worked as a butcher and lived in Salem’s Ward 1 with his wife, Mary A. (Chipman)
Chase, and their 7-month-old daughter, Ella Chase5. According to Civil War military records, he served
in Company B of the 24th Regiment and was captured in 18626.
The Twenty-fourth Regiment, Massachusetts Volunteers, 1861-1866, "New England Guard Regiment,"
By the 1865 census, Charles was back in Salem, listed as a soldier, and living with his wife’s family, the
Chipmans. When he bought the property in 1874 he had returned to his past career of being a butcher
and in the 1872 Salem City Directory, he is listed as working at 46 Pleasant Street. The Chase family
moved around Salem quite a bit throughout their lives and in the census of 1880, around 8 years after
building their house at 7 Burnside, they were back living with Mary’s family at 2 Broad Street. It appears
that while they were living with Mary’s family they were renting out the property until the bank
foreclosed around 1886.
Charles’s first wife, Mary A. (Chipman) Chase, was born in Salem around 1840 to Andrew Mansfield
Chipman and Nancy (Willard) Chipman. Records indicate they may have had 4 children together,
though none of them survived through childhood. She died of kidney disease at home on February 7th,
18957.
On October 12, 1905, Charles married his second wife, Elizabeth (Heath) Wragg Chase, a housewife,
in Ipswich, MA. Elizabeth was born in Nottingham, England in 1855 to Hannah (Mather) Heath and
Thomas Heath. Charles and Elizabeth would spend their final days at their house on 17 Saunders
Street, Elizabeth predeceasing her husband in 1918, Charles living until June of 1923, by which time he
had retired8.

�Dunn Family (1886-1906)
William and Mary (Condon) Dunn, both from Ireland, resided in this home for much of the time they
owned it. William is listed as a stoker for Salem Gas Works in the city directories for the years they lived
here. William was born around 1848, immigrated in 1865, and lived until 1911. Mary was born in 1861,
immigrated here in 1864, and lived until 1933. They are both buried at Saint Mary’s Cemetery in
Salem9.
Together the Dunns had eleven children during their lives, seven of which were born at home during
their time at 7 Burnside. Their children were: Mary Dunn, born 1877, Catherine Dunn, born 1879,
William F. Dunn, born 1881, Ellen (Dunn) Page, born in 1884, Johanna Dunn, born 1887, Anna V.
Dunn, born 1889, Margaret Dunn, born 1900, 2 unnamed stillborn children born in 1891 and 1892,
Elizabeth G. Dunn, born in 1894, and Frances Dunn, born 1898.
By the 1900 census, there was a different Dunn family living at 7 Burnside Street, renting the house,
presumably from their Dunn relatives that had moved to Peabody, according to city directories. Thomas
and Mary (Tobin) Dunn lived here with their children: Pattrick, Thomas, Anna, William, and Edmund 10.
This Dunn family never appears on the city directories so they likely did not live here for long. They sold
the property in 1906 to the Murphy family.
Murphy / Mahoney / Lovering Families (1906-1953)
Timothy J. Murphy was born in 1846 to John Murphy and Ellen (Callahan) Murphy, both of Ireland. He
was a laborer who purchased this property in 1906 with his daughter, Julia M. Murphy. Upon his death,
of arteriosclerosis, on April 12th, 1913, aged 67 11, the property was passed to his daughter and her
husband. Julia married her husband, James B. Mahoney, on February 4th, 191312, shortly before her
father’s passing.
James B. Mahoney, of Marblehead, was the son of James and Elizabeth (Barry) Mahoney. He was a
shoe worker and he and Julia had two children in this home at 7 Burnside Street. Their first child was

�named Elizabeth E. Mahoney and was born on April 13, 1914 13. Their second child, James T. Mahoney,
was born at home on January 10th, 1918 when James was 41 years old and Julia Mahoney was 3914.
By the time of the 1950 census, James and Julia Mahoney were listed as living downstairs at 7
Burnside Street. Their daughter, Elizabeth was married to Gorden Lovering and they had two children,
Earle, 6 years old, and Mack, 2 years old, and were living in the upstairs part of the house.
Gordon Lovering was born in Brockton on February 15, 1916 to Earle W., a nail maker, and Grace M.
(Gould) Lovering, both from Lynn15. They would continue to live in this home until 1953 when they sold
it to the Lukjanowicz family. Gordon would predecease his wife in 1988 and Elizabeth lived until 1996,
apparently never remarrying.
Lukjanowicz Family (1953-1957)
Wladyslaw and Mania Lukjanowicz, both born in Poland, arrived in the US by the time of the 1950
census and were living at 52 Liberty Street, in Danvers, with relatives, as well as their two children,
Anna, age 13, and Wladyslaw Jr., age 6, born in Germany16. There they lived with were their aunt and
uncle, Juston, 61, and Mary Lukjanowicz, 56, and at the time Wladyslaw was 42 and Mania was 37
years old. In the census, they stated they were living in Germany the previous year, so when they
immigrated here they must have lived in Germany for at least 5 years after leaving Poland. By 1953
they were able to purchase the property at 7 Burnside Street and lived there for the next 4 years until
they sold it to the Sawulski family.
Sawulski Family (1957-2019)
Chester Sawulski was born on April 30th, 1919 in Thompson, CT, and was married to Janina “Babcia”
(Sowa) Sawulski, born June 20th, 1922 in Poland. Janina met her husband, Chester, an American
citizen, while he was living abroad in Poland. She immigrated to the United States in 1945 and resided
in Salem since her arrival.

survived by many family members, including 2 sons and daughters-in-law, as well as many
grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Both Chester and Janina are buried at St. Mary’s Cemetery in
Salem17. After Janina’s passing her house at 7 Burnside Street passed to her son and daughter-in-law,
Charles B. and Paula Sawulski, both of Salem. She was predeceased by one brother and three sisters,
all from Poland.

ARCHITECTURAL DESCRIPTION:
Describe architectural features. Evaluate the characteristics of this building in terms of other buildings within the community.
The house at 7 Burnside Street is a 2 ½-story, 5 x 2-bay dwelling which is set on a stone foundation and sheathed in vinyl siding.
It is oriented with its gable end to the street, displaying projecting eaves ending in cornice returns. The main entrance is
centered on the east elevation and is sheltered by a single-story porch which was enclosed in recent years and also covers the
two windows to the south as well. The 2/2 window which survives in the attic is an indication of the original window type; the
remaining windows have been replaced by modern 1/1 sash. Extending behind the main house block is a smaller wing of similar
height that is historic if not original. It has the same configuration on early 20th century Sanborn maps. A secondary entrance is
located on the east wall of the wing. Two small sheds are located in the back yard.
Despite alterations including siding and new windows, this house is a contributing property in the Bridge Street Neck Historic
District, listed on the National Register on July 19, 2002. The rear sheds are not referenced in the National Register nomination.
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.
What is now Burnside Street was laid out in 1870 as part of the subdivision of the Philip English Estate. The house at 7
Burnside Street was built prior to 1872. The 1874 map shows the owner as Charles P. Chase; directories indicate that he was
living on Burnside Street in 1872. He was a butcher.
Deeds indicate that the property was acquired by William Dunn in 1886 and the 1897 map still shows him as the owner at that
time. The house was rented by William Busteed, a shoe cutter, in 1900. In 1906 Dunn sold the property to James & Julia
Mahoney. The 1910 Census indicates that the house was occupied by Timothy Murphy, a 54 widower who lived here with his
daughter Julia. He was born in England and worked as a laborer on the coal wharf. The other unit was rented to James
Donovan, a locomotive engineer. By 1920 the house was owned by James Mahoney and his wife Julia (nee Murphy). He
worked as a stitcher at the shoe factory. In 1930 the two tenants were the families of James Hubley, a carpenter, and Richard
McCarthy, a porter at the fish pier.
The property was sold by members of the Mahoney family in 1953 to Mania and Wladyslaw Lukyanowicz who sold the property
to Chester and Janina Sowalskie in 1957.
