The area of 16 Summer Street borders the Chestnut Street and McIntire Historic
Districts, two of Salem’s most popular areas. Both historic districts house hundreds of homes
that range from the late 17th century to mid-20th century. Much of the Chestnut Street area was
�owned by the notable John Pickering, who began to sell his plots of land in the mid to late 18th
century, a reason many Chestnut Street homes were built after this.
There are many styles of homes included in these neighborhoods, one being Italianate,
the style of 16 Summer Street. This style of home was derived from medieval Italian farmhouses
and villas and become popular after the Civil War. Many of these style homes were built
between 1865 and the late 1880s when their popularity began to fade. Italianate style homes
are usually relatively square homes with bracketed eaves (which are directly under the roofline).
16 Summer Street includes the Italianate feature of a 3 faceted bay window which is central on
the façade and draws attention to the home. As seen in the photos above, these features have
remained intact throughout the years, giving this home the historic character of its time.
FAMILY HISTORY
In 1865 Sarah Smith, a teacher, sold her family’s plot of land on Summer Street north of
Peirce land and south of the Danes family. Sarah was the latest in a long line of Smith women
to own and live in this property, going back to the beginning of the 19th century with the demise
of the last Smith patriarch, Father John Smith. In 1865, however, she sold her five-sixths of the
lot to a wealthy shoe dealer named Harrison Flint 1. Flint obtained the last one-sixth from Lemuel
B. Marden, a prosthetics manufacturer and carpenter 2 who lived nearby at 22 North Street, 3
though his ward lived on the lot that Flint was interested in obtaining. After gaining all the shares
of land, Flint likely rebuilt the house we know as 16 Summer Street around 1866 or 1867, where
there is a vacancy in the city directory and there are no known inhabitants of the property.

�Flint Family
Harrison Orlando Flint was born in 1828 as a Salem native 4. By the time that he bought
the property and lands surrounding it he was a successful shoe dealer in a Salem economy
propelled by tanneries and textile factories. While the house was under construction, the Flints
were living at 2 Ash Street 5 (as of 1866), and then moved into the new house by 1869 6 with his
wife Mary Augusta Flint (born 1831), their teenager Annie Sarah (born 1853), and their child
John Clarence (born 1860). In addition, by 1870, they had hired on the services of an Irish
maid 7.
In 1878, when his widowed neighbor Hannah Peirce died, Flint had the means to buy
her estate at 10 and 12 Summer Street at auction 8, and quickly sold and leased the properties
to new tenants. Of note, 10 Summer Street came to be inhabited by his daughter Annie when
she married George Ropes, a retail druggist 9 -- the land was owned by the couple until Annie’s
death in 1917, after which it fell to the hands of an attorney named W. D. Chapple 10, who had
dealings with the Flint family in the past.

�On August 21st 1895 Harrison died from angina pectoris 11. He was survived by his wife
Mary and their son John, who was at the time of death working as an assistant bank clerk 12.
John inherited his father’s estate and took over as legal head of the household. In 1897, he
married Grace L. Bryant (born 1868) of Medford, in Grace’s hometown. John moved back into
16 Summer Street, where he lived with his mother and wife into the start of the next century. He
would work later as a professional bookkeeper and accountant 13. Mary died in 1921, and John
swiftly followed the next year 14.
Upon their deaths, John’s wife Grace inherited 16 Summer Street. Grace had been living
with her husband and her in-laws since marriage, but after John’s death she only inhabited 16
Summer Street for a short amount of time, listing it as a primary residence in 1926 15, and then
leaving it vacant by 1929 16 -- she did not live in Salem at that time.
Cass Family
The house remained either vacant or unlisted in city directories until 1935 17, when the
land and property were granted to Mary Josephine Cass (née Nagle, born 1892) and her
husband William Robert Cass (born 1895), a box-maker who had just become manager of the

�Pick-nook Diner 18. Mary was also a Salem native, born to Irish coachman-turned-gardner
Bernard and his wife Catherine. Mary had two siblings: her twin Catherine Frances, and her
brother Henry.
William R. only lived in the house for a year before his death in 1936, at the age of 41.
The following year, Mary converted the house into a guest house, restaurant, and tea room
named the Roseway. She lived there with her son William Francis Cass (born 1918) and held
many short-term tenants throughout the guest house’s history, including those from Texas,
Austria, and New York 19. One of these tenants included Catherine Frances, Mary’s twin and a
clerical worker in Boston -- she lodged with the family from 1937 20 until her death in 1960 21.
In 1946 William Francis enlisted with the U.S. Navy. When he returned, he married Janet
M. Macdonald (born 1918) in 1949. Janet was born in Berlin, New Hampshire, but moved to
Salem and graduated from Salem High School in 1935. After her marriage she stayed with her
husband’s family. During this time William Francis worked at the Corinthian Yacht Club and
waited tables, eventually managing the Worcester Country Club, the Sippican Yacht Club, and
the Say-Hi Restaurant. Janet worked as a secretary in the law office of Charles Halladay, as a
server in her family’s Macdonald’s Tea Room, and managed the Boutique Bridal Salon making
headpieces 22. Together they had four children: William III, Janet, Robert, and Edward.

“Obituary: Cass, Janet M.” Salem News, 12 September 2013.
�In 1969, Mary made Janet the co-owner of 16 Summer Street, and Janet inherited the
estate upon Mary’s death in 1972 23. In 1988 William Francis signed on as co-owner of 16
Summer Street and remained as such until his death in 2001 24. Upon his death, his title was
granted to their son William F. Cass III, and William III was made a trustee of the property. After
Janet M.’s death in 2013, William III granted the property to Renewal Ventures LLC. Renewal
Ventures LLC then converted the home into four units of a condominium complex, occupied at
the time of writing by Abhijit Kamerkar, Halley Zummo, Gabriel Flavin, Alison Eagle, Nicholas
Rushman, Brett Dixon, and Abbey Newkirk.

19 Flint Street, Salem
According to available evidence, this house was built in 1871 for Leonard
Harrington, leather dealer.
On 18 March 1871 Leonard B. Harrington Jr. for $3000 purchased from Samuel P.
Andrews a parcel of land, 8058 square feet, fronting easterly 60' on Flint Street
(ED 818: 145). At about the same time, Mr. Hanington exchanged small gores of
land, which helped to square off the house-lot (ED 819:89). Mr. Harrington, thiliy,
then proceeded to build the present house on the lot, probably in the spring of
1871. (Salem valuations for 1871 have the penciled notation that Leonard
Harrington had a new house at 7 Flint Street, house worth $7000, lot worth $2000).
Leonard B. Harrington Jr. was born in Salem on 8 September 1841, the son of
Leonard B. Harrington, a currier, and his wife Margaret C. Hersey. Leonard was
the last of their four children. An infant, also named Leonard, had died in 1834,
while Henry and Mary Elizabeth had survived.
Leonard grew up in a house on upper Federal Street. His father, born in 1803, was
a native of Salem, the son of Charles Harrington, who had come to Salem from
Watertown after the end of the war for independence. L.B. Harrington Sr. went to
sea at thirteen, but soon gave up that life and was apprenticed to a currier in
Roxbury. In 1824 he began as a journeyman currier, curing leather to be used to
make various items such as shoes, saddles, etc. In 1829 he went into business for
himself; and in January, 1831 he married Margaret Hersey of Roxbury. In the
1830s he formed a partnership with Henry Turner as Harrington & Turner,
curriers, with their leather operation situated at 35 Boston Street, Salem. At first
the Harringtons resided on upper Essex Street, but by 1841, when Leonard Jr. was
born, they had a house on Federal Street (evidently #153, where they certainly
resided in the 1850s).
In the decade before Leonard's birth, Salem's maritime commerce had waned.
The merchants had taken their equity out of wharves and warehouses and ships and
put it into manufacturing and transportation, as the advent of railroads and canals
in the 1830s 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 ropemaking, sail-making, and ship chandleries, gradually declined and disappeared.
Well into the 1830s, Salem slumped badly.
1
�Despite its woes, Salem was chartered as a city in 1836. City Hall was built in
1837-8 on Washington Street and the city seal was adopted with an alreadyanachronistic 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, caused even more Salem families to head west in search of fortune and
a better future. Salem had not prepared for the industrial economy, and had few
natural advantages. The North River served not to power factories but mainly to
carry the waste from the many tanneries (23 by 1832), like L.B. Harrington's, 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, which was Salem's first science-based
manufacturing enterprise. At the plant built in 1817 on the North River, the
production of alum and blue vitriol was a specialty; and it proved a very successful
business. Salem's whale-fishery, active for many years in the early 1800s, led, in
the 183 Os, to the manufacturing of high-quality candles at Stage Point, along with
machine oils. The candles proved very popular. Some of the whale-blubber was
perhaps processed on Boston Street, at "Blubber Hollow." Lead-manufacturing
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, although the empty mill
buildings burned down in 1960s).
These enterprises were a start toward taking Salem in a new direction. In 183 8 the
Eastern Rail Road began operating between Boston and Salem, which gave the
people of Salem and environs a direct route to the region's largest market. The
tam1ing and curing of leather was a very important industry by the mid- l 800s. It
was conducted 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 industrial tenements built nearby. 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
2
�nation's leading shoe producer. Salem had shoe factories too, and attracted shoe
workers from outlying towns and country areas. Even the population changed, as
hundreds of Irish families, fleeing the Famine, settled in Salem; and the men went
to work in the factories and as laborers. At that time the Catholics worshipped at
St. Mary's Church, which stood nearby at the corner of Bridge and Mall Streets.
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. A picture
of Salem's sleepy waterfront is given by Hawthorne in his "introductory section"
(really a sketch of Salem) to The Scarlet Letter, which he began while working in
the Custom House.
The symbol of Salem's new industrial economy was the large twin-towered granite
train station, built in 1848-9 on filled-in land at the foot of Washington Street,
where before had been the merchants' wharves. The 1850s brought continued
growth: new churches, schools, streets, stores, etc. More Catholic churches were
built, and new housing was constructed in North Salem and the Gallows Hill areas
to accommodate the workers. A spur railroad line came in from Peabody (South
Danvers), past the end of Northey Street, and turned down Saunders Street, where
it crossed Bridge Street and ran on to Phillips Wharf, where the trains freighted
coal and catTied it all the way to the factories of Lowell.
In 1860, Leonard Hmrington (Jr.), 19, was listed as residing at his father's house,
153 Federal Street, and working in Boston as a clerk at 91 Milk Street (1861 Salem
Directory). At home lived his parents, his brother Henry, 27, a clerk, his sister
Mary, 21, and a servant, Eliza Derrell, 25. Mr. L.B. Harrington then owned real
estate worth $10, 000 and had $100, 000 in personal estate ( 18 60 census, ward four,
house 1942).
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. In mid-September, 1862,
Leonard Harrington, 21, enlisted for nine months in the U.S. Army, as a private in
the 50th regiment of Mass. Volunteer Infantry, which had many Salem men. He
3
�was assigned to Company A (the Salem Light Infantry), under Capt. George D.
Putnam. After encamping in New York for some weeks, Company A embarked on
Dec. 13 on the transport Jersey Blue, bound for the Gulf of Mexico; however, once
at sea, the vessel proved unseaworthy and made an emergency landing in a storm
at Hilton Head, SC. On another vessel they made their way to New Orleans,
arriving Jan. 20, 1863 and proceeding upriver to Baton Rouge, where they camped
and prepared for combat. After some skirmishing and many long marches,
Leonard Harrington and the other men of Company A were engaged in May and
June in the bloody attacks on Port Hudson, which finally surrendered after a siege.
In August the men were sent home, and arrived by train in Salem on August 11th,
"thus completing an exceedingly arduous term of service, which left its marks
deeply upon all of the command." (see George D. Putnam's article in Hurd's
History ofEssex County).
The war continued, and Leonard Harrington resumed his job in Boston and his
place in his father's house on Federal Street. 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.
Through the 1860s and 1870s, Salem continued to pursue a manufacturing course.
The managers and capitalists tended to build their new, grand houses along
Lafayette Street (these houses may still be seen, south of Holly Street). For the
workers, they built more and more tenements near the mills of Stage Point. A
second, larger, factory building for the Naumkeag Steam Cotton Company would
be added in 1859, and a third in 1865; and by 1879 the mills would employ 1200
people and produce annually 14,700,000 yards of cloth. Shoe-manufacturing also
continued to expand, and by 1879 Salem would have 40 shoe factories employing
600-plus operatives. More factories and more people required 1nore space for
buildings, more roads, and more storage areas. Salem kept building infrastructure;
and new businesses arose, and established businesses expanded. Retail stores
prospered, and machinists, carpenters, millwrights, and other specialists all thrived.
In the 1870s, French-Canadian families began moving to Salem to work in the
mills and factories, and more houses and tenements were built in what had been
open areas of the city.
During this period of industrial expansion, Leonard's father, Leonard B.
Harrington Sr., was one of the leaders of the city's profitable leather industry.
Leonard Jr. continued to work in Boston (at 93 Pearl Street by 1871) and to board
at his father's at 153 Federal Street (see 1872 Salem Director).
4
�In 1871 Mr. Harrington, who was engaged to marry Ellen P. Langmaid, had this
house built in the then-popular French Empire style, four-square with mansard roof
and some Italianate trim. They married on December 4 111 • That year, 1871, was
uneventful in Salem, which, in 1870, had received its last cargo from Zanzibar,
thus ending a once-impmiant trade. President U.S. Grant passed through Salem in
October, 1871; and a new Salem & New York freight steamboat line was in
operation. In 1872, a fire destroyed a tam1ery on Franklin Street in North Salem,
near the site of a similar fire in 1870. Leonard Harrington kept commuting to his
job; and on Nov. 9th the financial and manufacturing district of the city of Boston
was destroyed in a terrible fire. It is likely that Mr. Harrington's office was among
the many consumed in that infe1no, one of worst urban fires in American history.
Boston rebuilt, and Mr. Harrington carried on his business in downtown Boston.
In 1873, the Harringtons had a child, a girl whom they named Mabel.
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
coal-fired harborside electrical generating plant) 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 Centennial Year, 1876, Prof. A.G. Bell of Salem
announced that he had discovered a way to transmit voices over telegraph wires;
and in 1877, with the arrival of a vessel from Cayenne, Salem's foreign trade came
to an end. On Boston Street in 1879, the Arnold tannery caught fire and burned
down.
Through this period, the Harringtons appear to have lived in comfort in their nice
house. In 1880 the family resided here (Leonard Harrington, 39, leather dealer, his
wife Ellen, 34, their daughter Mabel C., six), along with two servants, Sophia
Baudrot, originally of Nova Scotia, and Nellie Cobane, 17 (1880 census, ED 234 p.
42).
By 1881 this house was re-numbered 6 Flint Street. The Harringtons lived here;
Mr. Harrington worked in Boston at 161 Summer Street, as a leather dealer in his
partnership, Harrington & Cummings. Mr. Harrington's father, Mr. L.B.
Harrington Sr., continued operating his very successful leather factory on Highland
Avenue, Salem. In the fall of 1886 the leather workers went on strike, and there
was a riot on Boston Street on Nov. 25, followed three days later by a settlement.
5
�In 1887 the John Bertram house, nearby on Essex Street, was donated to the city
for a public library; and there was a great parade of temperance clubs.
Leonard Harrington kept commuting to Boston through the very cold winter of
1887-1888. On January 26, 1888, occurred a total eclipse of the moon, which Mr.
Harrington probably observed. He fell ill in February; and on the morning of 4
March 1888, a Sunday, he died here at home, aged 47 years. His obituary noted
that he was a member of the firm of Harrington & Cummings, leather dealers, in
Boston, and that he belonged to Post 34 of the Grand Army of the Republic. His
death was "quite sudden." He left his widow Ellen and daughter, Mabel, as well as
his father, who would die in 1889.
In the years that followed, Mrs. Ellen P. Harrington resided here. Her daughter
Mabel married a Mr. Buck.minster, and moved to Burlington, Mass.
After withstanding the pressures of the new industrial city for about 50 years,
Salem's rivers began to disappear. The once-broad North River was filled from
both shores, and became a canal along Bridge Street above the N01ih Bridge. The
cove adjoining Northey Street was filled in from Bridge Street all the way to the
railroad tracks. 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 (that's why there was a
Custom House built there in 1805), disappeared under the pavement of Riley Plaza
and New Derby Street, and its old wharves (even the mighty Union Wharf,
formerly Long Wharf, at the foot of Union Street) 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.
In the early 20th century large numbers of Polish and Ukrainian families came to
Salem and settled primarily in the Derby Street neighborhood. By the eve of
World War One, Salem was a bustling, polyglot city that supported large
depaiiment stores and large factories of every description. Its politics were lively,
and its economy was strong.
In 1911 Mrs. HaITington 1noved to Burlington, probably to live with her daughter;
and the house was then occupied by Walter C. HaITis, who worked in Boston as a
private secretary at 50 State Street (see 1912 Directory). Mr. Harris, who had
grown up on Bridge Street, had resided at 15 Winter Street in 1911. Mrs.
6
�Harrington returned to Salem by August, 1913, when her daughter Mrs.
Buckminster granted her a life estate in the homestead here (ED 2227:291).
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
(passing by not far from the back yard of this house), wiping out the houses of
lower Boston Street, upper Essex Street, Warren Street, and upper Broad Street,
and then sweeping tlu·ough 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 tlu·ee dead and thousands homeless. Some people had
insurance, some did not; all received much suppmi 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.
Mrs. Ellen Harrington left town again, never to return. She was dead by March,
1918, when the homestead here was sold by her daughter Mrs. Mabel (Harrington)
Henderson, of Burlington, to John H. Sullivan of Salem, who immediately
conveyed the premises to his wife, Margaret P. Sullivan (ED 2387:470, 471). The
Sullivans would reside here for many years. Mr. Sullivan was president of his own
company (the J.H. Sullivan Co., formerly the P.J. Smith Co.), with a facility at 30
Foster Street for manufacturing cement counters for the shoe industry. He was
born in 1875 in Massachusetts of parents born in Ireland. He married, by 1907,
Margaret, who was a year older and of similar background. They had a son
William T., born c.1906, and a daughter Mary born c.1917 (per 1920 census, ED
265, SD5).
7
�By the 1920s, Salem was once again a thriving city; and its tercentenary in 1926
was a time of great celebration. From that time forward, Salem boomed right
through to the 1960s. Eventually, 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 oldtime mariners, mill-operatives, and leather-dealers are all honored as a large part of
what makes Salem different from any other place.
