Boltrukiewicz and his family. The home replaced a circa 1874 single-family home that belonged to Hannah Brick. The previous home was very similar to the adjacent 16 Herbert Street and was likely built around the same time, possibly by the Brick family, who owned both plots of land. In the early 20th century, the Historic Derby Street Neighborhood was predominantly Polish. Attracted to job opportunities in the city’s mills and factories, Polish immigrants began arriving in Salem around 1890 and by 1911, Poles comprised about 8% of the city’s overall population. Religion played a strong role in the Polish community and as the number of Polish Catholics in Salem grew, the need for a permanent house of worship became apparent. Herbert Street and Union Street became the heart of the Polish Catholic presence in the city, housing St. John the Baptist Church, a parochial school, convent, and rectory. �View of the previous building at 14 Herbert Street and the Manning House at 10 ½ Herbert Street. c. 1890-1910. (Phillips Library) Reverend Joseph J. Czubek (1908-1910) Joseph J. Czubek (1874-1940), was born on August 8, 1874 in Toledo, Ohio, one of five children belonging to James and Mary (Nowak) Czubek. His parents immigrated to America from the Province of Posen, an area of Prussia that became part of the German Empire in 1871.1 At the age of 24, Joseph was ordained at a Polish Seminary in Detroit, Michigan.2 In 1901, Reverend Czubek was beckoned to Salem by Father Chmielewski of Boston, to conduct mass in Polish. These services were given in the basement of an Irish parish, the Church 1 Year: 1920; Census Place: Salem Ward 2, Essex, Massachusetts; Roll: T625_696; Page: 6A; Enumeration District: 259 Year: 1937; Arrival: New York, New York; Microfilm Serial: T715, 1897-1957; Microfilm Roll: Roll 6006; Line: 1; Page Number: 136 2 Polish American Liturgical Center, History of St. John the Baptist, Salem MA, Diamond Jubilee (1903-1978) �of Immaculate Conception on Hawthorne Boulevard, (then Walnut Street.) Czubek was quickly welcomed by Salem’s parishioners due to his support of the need to erect a Polish Catholic church in the city. Reverend Czubek created and tasked a committee with raising over $2,000 needed to purchase and convert a dwelling into a new parish. Following the building’s completion, Czubek was appointed the pastor of St. John the Baptist Polish Roman Catholic Church, which held its first mass at 18-20 Herbert Street on July 3, 1903.3 Reverend Czubek continued expanding church, purchasing additional buildings on Herbert Street and the surrounding area to house a school, rectory, and a convent.4 After only three short years, the church building on Herbert Street had already become inadequate for the growing number of parishioners. Czubek purchased a vacant, former Baptist Church on St. Peter Street and assigned a committee to oversee the building’s restoration. The new church was completed in 1909 and the former Herbert Street church was converted into additional classrooms for the Polish parochial school, which had previously occupied the basement. One of Czubek’s many purchases was 14 and 16 Herbert Street in 1908, at the cost of $2,900. The two dwellings were sold to Czubek by Ellen Fitzgerald of Boston.5 The land and two homes previously belonged to Hannah Brick, who likely built them.6 Czubek used the properties to house the Felician Sisters, nuns who operated the church’s parochial school, until a convent could be built on Union Street. 7 Reverend Czubek’s legacy was cemented on June 25, 1914 when the Great Salem Fire destroyed 1,600 buildings over 250 acres. More than 14,000 Salemites were displaced from their homes including many from the Derby Street area. After hours of devastation to the city, the fire stopped at the foot of Herbert Street and Central Wharf. Many Poles have credited this to Reverend Czubek. Local lore states that Czubek stood in the middle of Derby Street with holy water and a crucifix, praying for the fire’s end.

In the Heart of Polish Salem, National Park Service The Boltrukiewicz Family (1910-1996) John Stanislaw Boltrukiewicz (1886-1954) was born in Poland on June 24, 1886. In 1907 he immigrated to the United States along with his wife Antonina “Annie” (Sigyjy) Boltrukiewicz (1886-1963) whom he married that same year. 8 The couple rented a home at 43 Union Street, that they shared with John’s older brother Lucas, and multiple boarders. John worked at United 8 Year: 1910; Census Place: Salem Ward 1, Essex, Massachusetts; Roll: T624_587; Page: 13B; Enumeration District: 0455; FHL microfilm: 1374600 �Shoe Company in Beverly painting machines used in the manufacturing of shoes. In 1909 they welcomed their daughter Bronislawa “Bertha” Boltrukiewicz. (1909-1967) The couple had three more children, Wladislawa “Alice” (1910-1993), Stanislaw “Stanley” (1912-1965), and Jane (1914-1996.) It appears that they also had multiple children die in infancy including John Jr. born on May 4, 1908 and Wclaw, who was born in 1909 and died of pneumonia a few weeks later.9 In August 1910, John S. Boltrukiewicz purchased 14 and 16 Herbert Street from Joseph Czubek for “one dollar and other considerations paid.”10 Their mortgage however reflects $2,400 which may have been used to construct a new dwelling at #14.11 The family moved into 16 Herbert Street and based on directories, around 1912, constructed a new two-family house at #14 using the former single-family home’s foundation.12 The previous home looked very similar to #16 but may have been replaced with a two-family as an investment property.13 During the Boltrukiewicz’s ownership, 14 Herbert Street had multiple tenants, primarily Polish. The two-family home had a quick turn-over, with most tenants only listed living in the home for a year. This however was not uncommon, as property ownership was a great source of pride to the Polish, who would have rented only until they could have afforded a home. Reverend Czubek was celebrated for assisting over 100 newly married couples purchase their first homes.14 The Boltrukiewicz children continued to live at home at #16 into adulthood. Jane worked in the mill of the Naumkeag Steam Cotton Company and Alice worked downtown as a saleswoman at Amy, Bigelow & Washburn. Their brother Stanley worked as an auto mechanic at Colonial Garage and Bertha Boltrukiewicz worked as a full-time stenographer. Around 1941, Bertha began working at the Hygrade Sylvania Corporation in Salem, assembling lamps. 15 That 9 Wclaw is also listed as Wclaf and William, born September 28, 1909 and died October 11, 1909. John Jr. was born May 4, 1908, no information on his death was found. 10 Southern Essex County Registry of Deeds, Deed 1918:393 11 Southern Essex County Registry of Deeds, Deed 1918:394 12 Both the Phillips Library (Peabody Essex Museum) and City of Salem were contacted to request the building permits from 1912. Both organizations were not able to locate these records. The use of these records could better substantiate the home’s construction date. 13 Foundation appears similar to previous foundation based on turn-of-the-century photograph from the Phillips Library, included in this research. 14 The Boston Globe (Boston, Massachusetts) · 22 Aug 1910, Mon · Main Edition · Page 3 15 Salem City Directory, Salem Massachusetts, R.L Polk & Co., 1941 �same year she married Henry Panek, a machinist. By 1942 the couple had moved into 14 Herbert Street and the following year they had a son, Henry Jr. The Paneks remained in the home for over 20 years, the longest of any tenant. Both homes remained in the Boltrukiewicz family for a total of 86 years. They passed down from John and Antonina, in 1953, to their children and in 1996, following the death of Jane, the homes were sold separately for the first time.

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