�102 Federal St.
This house was built on a portion of land owned by the Bullock
family for many years. The heirs of John Bullock divided the
estate on April 30, 1806. The lot, now. known as 102 J.ederal St.,
was conveyed to George Whitefield Martin of Salem, cabinetmaker
(book 191 page 235).
A certain lot of land in Salem, bound as follows:
Begining at the Southwest corner on Federal St. at a stone by
land this day released by William Farrington to the childr·en
of Sarah Bullock, then run
East bound South by said street 40 1 8 11 to land in occupation of
Sarah Bullock,. then run
North bound East by the last mentioned land 45' 611 to an angle in
the fence, then run still
North by inclining more easterly by the same land 128 1 to the
high water mark, then run
West by said high water mark 53' to the land of Martin then run
South bound West by the last mentioned land 89 1 to said land
released as aforesaid,then run
East bound South by said released land 9 1 511 to the corner part
of the fence, then run
South again and bound West by that land 69 1 4 11 to an angle in the·
fence, then run
South still by inclining more Easterly 41 1 611 to the stone on
Federal St.
Containing about 31 poles, together with the flats north of the
above described land to the channel of the North River (the portion
of the North River called Bickford St. basin was filled solid in
1881 - see appendix A).
A jump in the 1806 tax valuation, for George Martin, see~s to indicate
that the house was on the lot very soon after the above convayance.
This valuation remained : George Martin h(ouse) & s(hop) value $1,200
until 1810, the year Mr. Martin died.

�NOTES:
102 Federal St.
RATIEG T'.'!O.
PERTOD: FEDERAL
11 Unlike its neighbors,
this ti'To-story, plus pitch roof, wooden house
is gable end to the street with the entrance in the east yard. This
undoubtedly allowed room for the five-bay facade. The_)10use has a
nice Federal period door which is now sheltered by the ·added overhead
roof supported by Victorian consoles. There are several small additions
in the rear of the house." (Salem Historic District Study Committee
Investigation)
George Whitefield Martin, the son of Isaac and Hannah Martin, was
baptized in Marblehead on May 5, 1771. He married Sally Bullock
on April 11, 1797. The couple had two children: Sally born in 1798,
died Sept. 1802 and Lucy born Feb. 17, 1801, died Sept. 16, 1889.
The notice of Mr. Martin 1 s death appeared in the Salem Gazette on
Jan. 5, 1810. His wife Sally died in Oct. 1815 at the age of 43.

YOUR HOU SE IS SPECIAL
THERE IS NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT TO FIND OUT ABOUT THE PAST!
Who built your house? When? Who were the first owners? What
were their occupations? You can get the answ~rs to these and
other questions in an HISTORIC SALEM INC. (HSI) house report,
along with the well-known house sign that states the year in
which your house was built and the name & occupation of the
first owner.
The more we know about the history of Salem 1·-s neighborhoods, the
more we can work to preserve and protect them. It is generally
agreed .that the sign and research are a good investment in the
value of an older house. Studies have indicated that an historic plaque on a house does increase its value. In addition,
it establishes an interesting human history of the house.
Over the years, dozens of Salem homeowners have taken advantage
of this program offered by HISTORIC SALEM INC., Salem's non-NcL-:o~&.G:~
-profit group for historic preservation and education. -Full ~~~k~t&tU::
ifid::Udes information abott-t the house and.its owners and costs~
4.'or noP-roe:mbe:rlB-end $100.00 for H.S.I. member-a. Title research only
is $65.00 for non-members and $50.00 for H.S.I. members. Those
wishing to do their own research are encouraged to do so, but should
contact the H.S.Io office for directions and information on what
is needed for correct documentation. Self research starts &t $35.00.
Sample copies of the various types of reports are available for
inspection at the H.S.I. office upon appointment.

17 Bentley Street
Salem
According to available evidence, this house was built for George Bowditch
Jr., Salem mason, in 1843.
On 18 July 1840, George Bowditch Jr., Salem bricklayer, for $393.75 purchased a
piece of land that fronted westerly 35' on "the way recently laid open," and
bounded southerly 80' on J.D. Green's land, easterly 35' on Hardy Street, and
northerly 80' on land of J.D. Green "now occupied by George Bowditch Sr." (ED
319:236). The seller of the land was James Diman Green of Cambridge, a
grandson of Rev. James Diman, who had owned the land in the 1700s. Mr.
Bowditch's lot was but a piece of Mr. Green's property in this vicinity. Mr.
Bowditch had this house built in 1843.
On 26 June 1843 for $500 George Bowditch Jr., Salem mason, mortgaged the
property to Epes Cogswell, a Salem carpenter (ED 337:280). Mr. Cogswell may
have been the building contractor for this house, whose foundation and chimneys
were almost certainly the work of Mr. Bowditch himself. In the mortgage deed,
Mr. Bowditch recited that it was the same land that he had purchased on 18 July
1840 but with the addition since then of "the new building thereon." This
mortgage would be discharged in January, 1852 (ED 337:280, margin).
George Bowditch Jr. was born in Salem on 20 June 1812, the son of a mariner,
George Bowditch, and Sarah (Stodder) Bowditch. The Bowditch family had deep
roots in Salem, being descended from William Bowditch, a West-of-England man
who came to Salem in the 1630s. George Bowditch Sr., who evidently resided on
Hardy Street, was a first cousin of Nathaniel Bowditch, the mathematical genius.
At the time of George Jr. 's birth, the War of 1812 was just beginning. Later,
George Sr. would become a grocer ("trader") and superintendent of Salem's
hearses.
George Jr. had five siblings. When he reached the age of 12 or so, in 1824, he
was evidently apprenticed to learn the trade of a mason or bricklayer. Typically,
he would have gone to live in his master's house, with another apprentice or two;
and for several years he would work in exchange for room, board, clothing, and
knowledge of his trade. At a certain point, he would be paid somewhat for his
work, and by the age of twenty or so he would become a journeyman, free to
work for himself or whomever he chose. A bricklayer built foundations and
chimneys, while a mason did the same but also plastered walls. He probably
became a journeyman in 1832. He would remain a bachelor for another 11 years,
residing in the family home on Hardy Street.
�In 1832, Salem was losing its luster as a great seaport. After the War of 1812,
Salem merchants had rebuilt their merchant fleet and prosecuted a worldwide
trade, to great effect. A new custom house was built in 1819, at the head of Derby
Wharf. Through the 1820s the foreign trade continued prosperous; but at the end
of that decade, Salem's maritime commerce sank rapidly.
The new railroads and canals in the 1830s diverted both capital and trade away
from the coast. American goods were now being produced at a level where
imports were not so much needed as in the past, and the interior of the country
was being opened for settlement. People moved west, including some from
Salem, and the economic attention of the merchants turned westward with them.
Manufacturing and the railroads now attracted Salem's capital, and many of the
more notable merchants moved to Boston, the center of investment in these nonmaritime industries. The Eastern Rail Road (a Salem-based enterprise) began
operating between Salem and Boston in 1838; the tracks ran right over the middle
of the Mill Pond. Salem did engage in some manufacturing-leather, shoes,
textiles--but not on the scale of the factory towns of Lowell, Lawrence, and
Haverhill, with their mills driven by the powerful waters of the Merrimack.
George Bowditch Jr. evidently found plenty of work in the "declining" Salem of
his adulthood. Factories and shops were being built, and houses as well, and all
needed chimneys and foundations. While great fortunes were no longer being
made in Salem, a contractor like Mr. Bowditch could make a good living. George
Bowditch Jr. married Margaret S. Brown in July, 1843; and, between 1844 and
1861, they would have four children, only one of whom, Thomas, born in 1849,
survived to adulthood.
The Salem Directories show George Bowditch Jr., "mason," residing on Hardy
Street in 1836 and 1842, and on Bentley Street in 1846. In the 1860s and 1870s
this house was numbered 9 Bentley; in 1888 it was renumbered 17. Bentley
Street was named for the Rev. William Bentley, the long-time beloved pastor of
Salem's North Church (in this neighborhood on Essex Street; now gone), whose
diary (published) gives a portrait of life in Salem from the 1790s into the 1820s.
In May, 1844, Mr. Bowditch purchased a strip of land to the south of the
homestead. It was 5' wide and ran from street to street.
Somewhat stubbornly, Salem's waning merchant class pursued their business on
the sea; but as the years went by the conditions of shipping changed, and Salem
was left on the ebb tide. In the late 1840s, giant clipper ships replaced the smaller
ships 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 visits from Down East coasters
with cargoes of fuel wood and building timber. By 1850 Salem was finished as a
working port; and its glory days were over. An excellent picture of Salem's
waterfront, during its period of decline from glory, is given by Hawthorne in his
�"introductory section" (really a sketch of Salem) to The Scarlet Letter, which he
began while working in the nearby Custom House and completed at home on
Mall Street off the Common.
In 1850 (per census, house 127) George Bowditch, 33 (really 37), mason, resided
here with his wife, Margaret, 28, and their son, Thomas, two. Their nearest
neighbors were families also headed by carpenters and masons.
In October, 1853, Mr. Bowditch purchased another piece of land, to the south of
the homestead. It was 16' wide and ran from street to street. On this new piece of
land, he soon built a new house (#19 Bentley) by moving in an older building and
adding a new section. He turned the new house over to his aged parents, who
lived on until 1862 (death of George) and 1867 (death of Sarah). Therefore, the
families of George Bowditch Sr. and George Bowditch Jr. lived side-by-side (see
1860 census, houses 1175 and 1176; in it, GB Jr. is mistakenly listed as "master
mariner," a slip-up for "master mason").
In the early 1860s, while the Civil War (1861-1865) was being fought, Mr.
Bowditch began instructing his only son, Thomas Bowditch, in the mason's trade.
After the Civil War, Salem fully re-tooled as an industrial center, with good
success. The symbol of its new economy was the large twin-towered granite train
station, which stood at the foot of Washington Street, where it had joined the
inner harbor. Beginning in the 1840s, the Salem capitalists had built factories that
soon filled with Irish immigrant workers as well as the native-born. Salem's
water-oriented downtown area remained intact, or nearly so, for most of the 19th
century, although no more did square-rigged ships visit the wharves along the
inner harbor (the South River, which ran from Derby Wharf to where the Post
Office now is). The railroad had been built across the middle of the beautiful Mill
Pond, which extended, from the inner harbor all the way to Loring Avenue, in a
broad sheet of water between what are now called Canal Street and Jefferson
Avenue. In the early 20th century, both of these ancient bodies of water would
vanish, as they were filled in and buried beneath streets, storage areas, junk-yards,
rail-yards, and parking lots.
As late as 1869 Thomas Bowditch, mason, resided here with his parents. By the
1870s he had moved to the old family house on Hardy Street, where he and his
family would remain for many years. George Bowditch continued in the mason
business for the rest of his life, with his mason's shop behind this house, on the
part of his land that fronted on Hardy Street (14 1h Hardy Street).
George and Margaret Bowditch grew old here. Mrs. Bowditch died in the 1880s,
evidently. Mr. Bowditch, at the very end of life, evidently moved in with his son
Thomas & family at 6 Hardy Street, where he died on June 2, 1893, in the 79th
year of life. From his obituary: "George Bowditch Jr., one of the oldest and bestknown 'down-town residents,' so called, died at his home on Hardy Street last
�evening. Mr. B. was in his 7gth year. He was a mason by trade, and had always
lived and been closely identified with the lower part of the city. He was a
thoroughly good man, straightforward in all his dealings and unusually respected
by all who knew him. His wife died some years ago." His remains were interred
at Harmony Grove cemetery with Rev. O.A. Hillard officiating and with a wreath
from the Salem Veteran Fireman's Association, of which he had doubtless been a
member.
The property was inherited by Thomas Bowditch of Hardy Street. He did not
reside here, but used this house for rental income. In 1897 it was occupied by
John Greene, a gardener, and family: wife Ellen, and sons Frank (laborer) and
David (clerk). John Greene died on 1 May 1898, aged 57 years. His wife and son
Frank continued to reside here in 1900 and beyond. The Great Fire of June, 1914,
which destroyed much of south part of the City of Salem, did not affect this
neighborhood, although it burned down everything in sight just across the canal
from Derby Wharf at the Naumkeag Steam Cotton Company (now called
Shetland Park).
Thomas Bowditch died by 1916. He devised his property to his wife Annie,
daughter Mrs. May Johnson, and son George S. Bowditch. On 12 June 1916
these devisees sold the land and buildings, 17-19 Bentley Street, to Martin &
Antonina Witkos (ED 2334:65). The Witkoses resided in #17 and rented out #19.
Mr. Witkos ran a grocery store at 126 Derby Street, which he conducted until his
death in 1932. The property remained in the Witkos family until 1978, when this
house and its lot were set off as Lot E in a partition of property.

172 Federal Street
Built circa 1849 for George Nichols, Tanner
History of the property:
172 Federal Street was built at the peak of the Greek Revival
era of American architecture in the 1840s by Salem tanner George
Nichols for his son Nathan. The elder Nichols built the house and
resided in it briefly before conveying it to Nathan Nichols, a
clerk, who owned and occupied the property for the next fifteen
years.
The western end of the present-day Federal Street, which was
laid out across private lands after 1769 and referred to as the
"new street" on or near the North River until its formal
designation as "Federal Street" in 1794, was owned primarily by the
Buffum family, who had purchased it from the original land grant
recipient Robert Moulton in the later seventeenth century. Both
the Moulton and Buffum families were Quakers, and they located
their meeting house on the nearby "main street", or Essex Street.
The Buffum family retained, their property on Federal Street
until well into the nineteenth century, when it was divided into
house lots and sold to several grantees, including Thomas Reynolds,
a Salem laborer who purchased the lot on which the present-day 172
Federal Street now stands from Peace Buffum, a spinster, in 1847. 1
Reynolds purchased a lot of land bounded southerly by Federal
Street, westerly by land of Miss Buffum extending to the high water
mark of the North River, northerly by the river, and easterly by
land of Daniel Haskell, "together with all the flats belonging to
said lot". Less than a year later, he conveyed this lot to George
Nichols, Jr.,-a Salem tanner, who erected 172 Federal Street. 2
George Nichols did not transfer the deed to 172 Federal Street
to his son in his lifetime, but Nathan Nichols and his wife
Elizabeth took up exclusive residence in 1850 according to the
Salem Directories.
After his father's death and his subsequent
inheritance of the property, the younger Nichols obtained a
mortgage with which he expanded the original house in the early
1860s. The enlarged house was conveyed to Roderick A. MacKenzie,
Essex country (South) Registry of Deeds, Book 386, leaf
293; August 30, 1847.

E.C.R.D. Book 392, leaf 242; January 26, 1848
�I
a Salem tailor, in 1865. 3 The MacKenzie family resided at 172
Federal Street for five years, after which they conveyed the
property to Daniel Haskell, who owned an adjacent house as well as
the Daniel c. Haskell & company, Tanners and Curriers, on Mason
street. Haskell immediately conveyed 172 Federal Street to one of
his employees, James Donaldson.'
The Donaldson family owned and occupied 172 Federal Street for
over twenty-five years, and their ownership is illustrated on both
the 1876 and 1897 Atlases of Salem (attached).
In 1906 James
Donaldson conveyed the property to the Wesley Methodist Episcopal
Church, and it became the rectory and residence of its pastor, the
Reverend Thomas W. Fessenden. 5
Six years later, the Church
transferred the house and land to the four Cuffe sisters of Salem,
who promptly took up residence. 6
Alice, Nellie, and Sarah Cuffe were single "career women"; the
former two were clerks and the latter was a factory forewoman.
Their elder sister Katharine Cuffe is listed simply as a "boarder"
in the Salem Directories. They apparently experienced difficulties
maintaining their household, as they obtained several mortgage
loans and took in a succession of boarders during their term of
ownership of the property (1912-1946). Of course, the Depression
coincided with several of these difficult years.
In 1946 the
surviving Cuffe sister, Sarah, conveyed the property to a nephew,
John L. Cuffe, and his wife Marion. 7 Though the Cuffes' property
was reduced by the construction of the Sylvania plant along "West"
Bridge Street, 172 Federal Street remained in the family for nearly
forty years through the inheritance of their daughter, Marion
Andrews.
The latter sold the property to its present owners,
Kenneth and Joyce Wallace, in 1984.
