Built c. 1784
for John Berry, mariner
and Abigail Berry, spinster
Researched and written by Dan Graham
November 2021

�According to the Massachusetts Historical Commission, what is now Daniels Street was
in existence as early as 1661, and by the mid 1700s was known as Daniels Lane, later Daniels
Street. By the late 1700s, both Palfrey’s and Fogg’s Wharves were located at the foot of Daniels
Street, making the street busy with activities connected with the sea. According to MACRIS
property reports, 6 Daniels is among the oldest extant properties on the street.
As noted in the MACRIS report for this property (SAL.2584), the structure at 6 Daniels St
is somewhat larger than the average Federal period dwelling since it was built to house two
families. Placed gable end to the street, the structure was originally 7 bays long (2 narrow
windows have been added to the façade) and 3 bays deep. The Daniels St entrance has a simple
entablature while the north side doorway, while its blind sidelights, transom, and entablature,
appear to be a Greek Revival feature. The house also has the addition of a rear 2-story bay. Of
the architectural details and likely date(s) of construction, local architectural historian Vijay
Joyce contributed the following:
Along with other details (like the basic massing of the building), the massive bed
molding underneath the overhang is almost identical to the [house] at 10 ½ Herbert St.
which was built in the 1790s. [6 Daniels] was definitely added on to over the years. The
front door on the north side is very Greek Revival. And the south side of the building has
a Victorian bay added to it which came about in the 1840s/50s.
Perhaps the additional work/extension added in the 1840s/50s is why the Patriot Properties
listing for this property indicates 1850 as the construction date.
�According to historian Sidney Perley, a previous house built by 1672 once stood on this
site. John Berry acquired the property on December 7, 1722, and by 1746 had removed the old
house. See the excerpt below concerning the “Estate of Richard Rose House”:
Source: Sidney Perley, Essex Antiquarian, vol. 10, no. 24, pp. 122-123, Google Books
In 1784, Berry’s heirs - John Felt, Catharine Felt, and Elizabeth Stone - sold their interest
in this property to John Berry, a mariner, and Abigail Berry, a spinster. The language of the deed
is worth including at some length given its stipulations as to the intended partitions and future
building plans:
The said Abigail to have so much of the land under the house as may be covered by her
part of the house which she & said John the grantees may build & the said John to have
the land under his part of said house & the dividing line in said house to be an entry to
run from south to north through said house & the said Abigail to have the east end with
said entry & the said John the west end & the land round said house to remain in
�Common to the grantees with the well therein said Common land to extend as
farmost[sic] as to be six feet west from the west end of the house & to extend from
north to south parallel with said west end of said house & the rest of said land to be
divided in two equal halves […] (emphasis added)
As noted above, a house was intended to be built at the time of the deed’s signing in March of
1784, with Abigail taking the east end and John taking the west. According to city atlases and
directories, the house was partitioned as separate addresses - 6 Daniels and 8 Daniels (with 8 ½
Daniels also emerging in the early 1900s) - for most of its lifetime. The MACRIS report for 4
Daniels nextdoor (SAL.2585) notes that Abigail also acquired the eastern and western halves of
that property in 1797 and 1802, respectively. She died in 1824 after which point her executor,
Abigail B. Archer (nee Woodward; b. 1789; d. January 25/26, 1868), apparently rented out the
property.
John Archer (b. July 4, 1796; d. March 5 1884), a ship’s chandler, was the next owner of
6 Daniels. John Berry’s granddaughter, Mary Ann Stevens (nee Peele/Perle), and her husband
Hiram, a cordwainer, sold 6 Daniels to Archer in 1831. (Hiram and Mary Ann were married on
December 5, 1830 in Methuen.) The 1837 directory shows that Archer was sharing the house
with Eunice Russell, Aaron Meader, a laborer, and Ebenszer Morgan, a mariner. The 1850
Census lists John and Abigail living at the residence with Sophia Manning, who was 21 years of
age at the time; and a likely niece of John’s (see later note regarding 1880 Census).
��After Abigail’s death in early 1868, her sibling heirs - Benjamin Woodward and Nancy
Oneutt - granted John “two thirds of [the] house and one half the land” for $1,450 (see book
741, page 33 in “Deeds”). The 1870 Census shows that John continued to reside at the property
with Mary A. Francisco, identified as a housekeeper. The final Census showing John at the
property (before his death in 1884) is from 1880, and lists James Manning - a post office clerk and Robert Manning - a sea captain/master mariner - who are identified as Archer’s halfbrothers. Mary Francisco was living at 8 Daniels in 1880, and came to own the house after
John’s death, perhaps as a stipulation of Archer’s will. City directories show Francisco as the
sole occupant of 6 Daniels from at least 1890 until her death in 1895, at which point the
executor of her will, Nathaniel Simonds, sold the property to Roland Smalley. Book 1465 page
51 identifies Francisco as the owner of the property and stipulates that the property be sold off
via private sale as part of her will, but makes no mention of how she came to possess
ownership.
���Following Francisco’s death and more transfers of ownership, 6/8 Daniels provided
tenement housing for several decades (the 1906-1938 atlas labels the property as
“Tenements”). Throughout the early 1900s, 6/8 Daniels was home to various tenants, many of
them Polish immigrants. Attracted to job opportunities in the city’s mills and factories, Polish
immigrants began arriving in Salem en masse around 1890, accounting for about 8% of the
city’s overall population by 1911. 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. Nearby Herbert Street and Union Street became the heart of the Polish
Catholic presence in the city, after the opening of St. John the Baptist Church, a parochial
school, convent, and rectory.
The new church catalyzed the settlement of Polish immigrants in the neighborhood and
multiple single-family homes were converted or replaced with multi-family tenements to house
the growing population. The sizeable 6/8 Daniels was one such property, with 8 ½ being built in
the early 1900s (first appearing on the 1906 atlas and referred to as “Flats”). The Derby Street
neighborhood became a tight knit hub of all Polish activities with multiple shops, restaurants,
and social clubs in the area catering to Poles from all regions and religions. Even the House of
the Seven Gables (the namesake of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s 1851 novel) played a crucial role in
this community. Caroline Emmerton opened the museum in 1910 to support her adjacent
settlement house, which provided classes and workshops to the local immigrant community, a
role the museum still upholds to this day.
Closer to 6/8 Daniels, the Polish American Citizens Club (PACC) moved its headquarters
across the street to 9 Daniels in 1928 (see MACRIS SAL.2619). Founded in 1916, the PACC grew
�out of efforts to promote citizenship and naturalization among Salem's Polish immigrants, a
project that was strongly supported by the St. Joseph Society and community leaders such as
Teofil Bartnicki, Felix Rybicki, and Wladyslaw Sobocinski (who lived on Daniels and likely had
relatives at 6/8 Daniels in the early 1900s). The building has remained part of the community,
later becoming (and remaining) the home of the local Polish Legion of American Veterans post,
which had originally used the old firehouse at 128 Derby Street as its meeting place.

Many Polish tenants of 6/8 Daniels and their relations are featured in In the Heart of
Polish Salem: An Ethnohistorical Study of St. Joseph Hall and Its Neighborhood (2009), a PDF
version of which is freely available online through the National Park Service.1 As a case in point,
the text features in-depth coverage of Joseph Kohn - who lived at 6 Daniels in 1911 - who had
come to the U.S. in part because he was seeking to avoid conscription into the Russian army.

�Following his older brother’s migration to Salem, Joseph followed the same route. As his wife
Hedwiga (Harriet) shared in 1978:
When they got to a certain age, the Russians were taking all the young Polish boys to
join their army. And when he knew that he was going to be picked, he got into a wagon,
one of those farmers’ wagons loaded with hay. And he hid under the hay. And every
border they come to, they’d stick pitchforks through to see if anybody was there. And
they just laid in that hay. Most of them traveled that way to get out of the boundary
lines.
Trained as a shoemaker, Joseph found work at a shoe shop in Salem before saving up enough
money to acquire a horse and wagon he used to transport fruit and vegetables from New
Hampshire to sell in Salem. He eventually established his own grocery business.2

Its Neighborhood, pp. 108-109.
�Another tenant of 6 Daniels - Frank (Franciszek) Sobocinski - attempted to start a local
mutual assistance society in 1897 with six other men, one of whom also lived at 6 Daniels in the
early 20th century - Walter Jastrzembski. As scholars Cathy Stanton and Jane Becker have noted,
the mutual assistance model had significant appeal in immigrant communities. Many ethnic
communities felt that it was shameful to accept aid from outside of their own groups; one early
study of Poles in the U.S. found that Polish immigrants saw the acceptance of American charity
as a disgrace to the entire community.3 Founded in 1899, the St. Joseph Society was among the
earliest of many local associations designed to provide civic, economic, educational, and social
benefits for Poles in the city. See Appendix C from In the Heart of Polish Salem which features
meeting minutes from the Society, naming several additional tenants and relations of 6/8
Daniels.

BUILDING F O R M (9 Daniels Street)
A R C H I T E C T U R A L DESCRIPTION
Describe architectural features. Evaluate the characteristics of the building in terms of other buildings within the
community.
This early 19th century brick dwelling was converted for use as a Polish social club in the late 1920s. The three-story, flatroofed brick building presents its narrow two-bay facade to the street and was apparently originally nearly identical to the
adjacent building at 7 Daniels Street which sits just a few feet to the north. The brick is laid in a Flemish bond and the
building rests on a stone foundation. With the exception of the first floor windows which have been bricked-in, most of the
windows contain a 1/1 replacement sash and display simple stone sills and splayed lintels. The windows on the third floor are
slightly smaller. On the facade, the height of the building has been raised slightly and the original cornice has been removed.
Extending to the south of the building is a 20th century three-story addition measuring l x l bay and obscuring the original
center entrance. Its detailing echoes that of the original building. The brick on this section is laid in a common brick above a
concrete foundation. The windows have splayed brownstone lintels and concrete sills. The first floor entrance is located on
the west wall of the addition and is fronted by new concrete steps. The original brownstone entablature over the entrance has
been partially obscured by a canopy and the doors have been replaced by modem bronze and glass double doors. At the rear
of the building is a two-story, wood-frame addition which is sheathed in aluminum siding above a concrete foundation. On
the south side, there is a recessed bay which accesses a set of covered stairs.
The building is set directly on the sidewalk just about two feet from the adjacent building at 7 Daniels Street. There is a large
paved parking area to the south of the building.
HISTORICAL N A R R A T I V E
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.
What is now Daniels Street was in existence as early as 1661 and by the mid 1700s was known as Daniels Lane, later
Daniels Street. By the late 1700s Bentley states that both Palfrey's and Fogg's Wharves were located at the foot of Daniels
Street, making Daniels Street busy with activities connected with the sea. The houses at 7 and 9 Daniels Street both date to
the early 19th century.
The earliest available directory, that of 1836, indicates that Peirce L. Wiggin was living here at that time. Without deed
research it is not possible to find out whether he was the original owner. Mrs. Wiggin continued to live here as late as 1881.
By 1884 the property had been acquired by William H . Goldsmith, an inspector at the Custom House, who occupied part of
the house and rented out units to two tenants. William Goldsmith and William Hyde are shown as the owners on the 1911
map and in the 1905 and 1910 city valuation records. Goldsmith continued to live here until about 1915. The house was
rented out to a number of tenants over the next 10-15 years. By 1929 the building was being utilized by the Polish American
Citizens Club, which was organized in November 1916 and initially met at 160 Derby Street. By 1970 the present occupant,
the Polish Legion of American Veterans Post 55, was using the building.

his death, which occurred in 1729.
Samuel Ingersoll House. This lot was
a part of the land conveyed by Timothy
Laskin to Robert Gray of Salem before
29: 7: 1656, when Mr. Gray conveyed
it to John Ingersoll of Salem.* Mr. Ingersoll's son John built a house upon the
lot about 1670; and the father died in
1683, having, in his will, devised the lot
to his son John. John Ingersoll was a
mariner, and lived here. He died in
1694, possessed of the house and lot,
which were then valued at sixty pounds.
The estate was divided in l 695, this
house and lot becoming the property of
John Ingersoll's son Samuel. Samuel
Ingersoll owned the house in qo2; and
the house was apparently gone soon after.
Richard Ingersoll House. This lot was
a part of the land conveyed by Timothy
Laskin to Robert Gray of Salem before
29: 7: 1656, when Mr. Gray conveyed it
to John Ingersoll of Salem.* Mr. Ingersoll's son Richard built a house upon the
lot about 1675; and died, possessed of
the house, in 1683. The father died
later, in the same year, having, in his
will, devised the lot to the widow of his
son Richard, for her life, and then to the
latter's son Richard. Sarah, widow of
Richard Ingersoll, married, secondly,
Joseph Procter of Ipswich, yeoman, before Dec. 24, l 701 1 when she released
her interest in the estate to her son Richard Ingersoll. t The last- named Richar<:!
Ingersoll died prior to July 1, 1708, when
administration upon his estate was granted
to his widow, Ruth Ingersoll. The next
owners of this house and lot, of record,
are widow Elizabeth Hinchy and William
· Burrows, frame maker, both of Boston,
and John Burrows of Killinsgly, Conn.,
joiner, who, for thirty-four pounds, thirteen shillings and four pence, conveyed
the estate to Jonathan Very of Salem,

As mentioned, this was the lot on which Richard Ingersoll
built a house circa 1675. By 1751 the Ingersoll house was
owned by widow Elizabeth Hinchy and William Burroughs, both of

Benjamin each 5 shillings. The rest of her estate, both real

Talbut.
An inventory, taken in 1771, shows her real estate
as:

pleas in July 1784. The conditions were that unless Lydia paid
unto Cabot 61 pounds, 3 shillings and 8 pence she would lose
possession.
This sum was never paid, so when Lydia Valpy died
on July 8, 1801, the Cabot heirs took possession.
With the last conveyance, Abigail Berry now owned the entire
lot at 4 Daniels Street and removed the remaining portion of
the old Richard Ingersoll house.
The tax records indicate that
Abigail had a new house built shortly after taking possession:
1803 Abigail Berry - Ward 1
part house $1,200 (6 Daniels St.)
"new house, unfinished" $300 (4 Daniels st.)
Abigail Berry died on December 23, 1823, at the age of 92.
After many bequests, Abigal Berry left the remainder of her
estate, both real and personal, to Abigail B. Woodward.
