History of Occupants & Owners
25 Charles Street, Salem
By Robert Booth, August 2017
According to available evidence, the earliest part of this house was the
flagman's shanty, so called, built in 1905 by the Boston & Maine Railroad,
and situated at the Loring Avenue railroad crossing, near the present
intersection with Raymond Road (see appended section of 1911 atlas). The
shanty was moved to this spot in 1935, evidently by the land owner, John H.
Devlin, and was first occupied by Arthur M. Alley, proprietor of a nearby
drug store, and his wife Martha (Wood) Alley. It is likely that this is the sole
surviving early railroad building in Salem, whose railroad history goes back
to 1836.
Stop, Look & Listen
Prior to the construction of this flagman's shanty, Salem had five other
railroad stations and related buildings, including one other flagman's shanty,
at the Lead Mills stop on Lafayette Street near the Marblehead line.
Flagmen were employed to conduct the trains through crowded areas and to
protect the contractor crews who worked on the rails and railbeds nearby.
Many flagmen also worked as switchmen. They worked day and night, and
used lanterns to stop or slow a train at a grade crossing. Obviously, they
needed a dry place to stay, and so the B&M Railroad provided what they
referred to as a "shanty". 1 The Naumkeag Directory, published yearly,
tracked the location of Salem's railroad buildings in a small section called
"Railroad Stations, B. & M. R.R." The "Loring Ave. (flag station)" first
appears in the 1906 directory, and regularly thereafter; it is absent in in 1905
and earlier.
The B&M Railroad, successor to the Salem-founded Eastern Railroad, had a
large presence in Salem from its inception in 1836. Over the years, it laid
miles of local track, some of it passing through the center of the city (and
passing in a tunnel under Washington Street). Its importance was
1
Shanty was the preferred and evidently official term-one finds it in the B&M Railroad Historical
Society records (reference to "shanty lantern" in hardware collection, etc.) and it is the term invariably
used in court records at the time. Smaller shanties were often called shacks. This was not a shack.
�symbolized by the large central station (built 1847) at the southerly foot of
Washington Street, with a granite fac;:adesurmounted by twin "Norman
Towers", as they were known. The railroad was especially busy in Salem c.
1900, as new businesses arose and established businesses expanded. Retail
stores prospered; horse-drawn trolleys ran every which-way; and machinists,
carpenters, millwrights, and other specialists all thrived. The large-scale
manufacture of goods-leather, shoes, textile-required many workers.
French-Canadian families, from New Hampshire and Quebec, had moved in
to find work and begin a new life in Salem.
By 1900 Salem's cotton-cloth mills at the Point employed more than 1500
people who produced about 20 million yards annually. The city's large shoe
factories stood downtown behind the stone depot and on Dodge and
Lafayette Streets and off Jefferson Avenue. Salem factories also produced
lead, paint, and oil. At the Bridge Street yard of the B&M Railroad
(absorbed the Eastern Railroad in 1883), cars were repaired and built new.
The gas works occupied a site on Bridge Street, opposite the Beverly shore.
More factories and more people required more space for buildings, more
roads, and more storage areas. This space was created by filling in rivers,
harbors, and ponds. The once-broad North River was filled from both
shores, and became a canal along Bridge Street above the North Bridge. 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 famous inner harbor (South River), too, with its epicenter at
Central Street, disappeared under the pavement of now-Riley Plaza and New
Derby Street, and some of its old wharves 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.
Salem kept growing. The Canadians were followed in the early 20 th century
by large numbers of Polish and Ukrainian families, who settled primarily in
the Derby Street neighborhood. By the eve of World War One, Salem was a
bustling, polyglot city that supported large department stores and large
factories of every description. People from the surrounding towns, and
Marblehead in particular, came to Salem by trolley to do their shopping; and
its handsome government buildings, as befit the county seat, were busy with
conveyances ofland, lawsuits, and probate proceedings. The city's politics
were lively, and its economy was strong.
2
�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 eastward out of
control, a monstrous front of flame and smoke, wiping out the houses of
Boston Street, Essex Street, and upper Broad Street, and then sweeping
through Hathorne, Winthrop, Endicott, and other residential streets. The
flagman's shanty at Loring Avenue was well away from the path of the fire,
which 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
fire crews from many towns and cities, the fire overwhelmed everything in
its path: it smashed into the large factory buildings of the N aumkeag Steam
Cotton Company (Congress Street) and it rolled down Lafayette Street and
across the water to Derby Street. There, just beyond Union Street, after a 13hour rampage, the monster died, having consumed 250 acres, 1600 houses,
and 41 factories, and leaving three dead and thousands homeless. Some
people had insurance, some did not; all received much support 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 Salem would take
years to recover from it. The B&M Railroad played a large part in bringing
relief to the people of Salem and many tons of materials for its
reconstruction. Eventually, 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.
In a 1916 photo of the shanty in situ at Loring Avenue, we see the
distinctive tripart bay window that is still visible on the driveway side of the
house today, as well as the deep cornice and the hip roof over the open
porch, which would be enclosed at Charles Street and now contains a pair of
bedrooms. The exterior door was centered in the elevation of its main room
and facing the railroad track with the sign "Loring Ave." over the door (see
1916 photo appended). The shanty had one large main room under a pitch
roof, a small back room out back under a sloping shed or flat roof, and an
open porch under a hip roof joined into the pitch roof. It was pretty spacious
for its purpose of giving shelter to the railroad flagman who guarded the
crossing not far from Charles Street.
By the 1920s, Salem was once again a thriving city; and its tercentenary in
1926 was a time of great celebration. The Depression hit in 1929, and
continued through the 1930s. Salem, the county seat and regional retail
center, weathered the long storm, thanks in part to the continued
3
�manufacturing at Parker Brothers and Pequot Mills (formerly Naumkeag
Steam Cotton Co.), and the strong retailing presence of downtown
department stores and specialty stores.
In 1935, evidently, the flagman's shanty was considered unnecessary to the
railroad operation (probably the flagman's function had been replaced by
automated signals and crossing barriers). The building was available; and
the owner of this lot on Charles Street, John H. Devlin, evidently acquired it
and had it moved here, pretty much intact. Mr. Devlin had bought the lot,
fronting 75' on Charles and Street and running back 80', in 1915 from the
Almy heirs (ED 2289:202). The land consisted of Lot 36 and the southwest
half of Lot 37 as platted in the 1896 subdivision of the Derby Estate, which
had once been an extensive gentleman's farm in South Salem. At its new
home on Charles Street, with a new identity as a dwelling, the house had a
number, 15, affixed next to the front door, formerly the exterior door of the
shanty.
At some point, probably in two separate builds, a long living room was
extended to the southwest, allowing for a new entrance facing the street (as
today). This room has two floor levels; the southwest part is "sunken."
Behind (to the southeast of) that ell, a chimney and new room were added
by (and during the occupancy of) the mason Dewey Pearson, who laid up
the rear exterior wall in brick running the full length to the northeast end of
the house and creating thereby a second rear room. This rear section is
concealed from the street (and the driveway) by a gate and privet hedge and
it faces into a snug side yard and steep rock garden. In the summer of 1975,
the then-owners, Charles & Phyllis Honsberger, added two bedrooms at the
second floor (see Salem Building Inspector card for "15 Charles Street"),
reached by a new staircase from the main rear room added by Mr. Pearson,
who also built a massive second chimney ascending the mid-point of the
rear wall. This completed the major additions to the original "shanty"
portion of the house, which has been further embellished and altered by the
present owner, Dennis M. Uram, during his forty years here, most of them
with his late wife Elaine.
The earliest known occupants of the house on Charles Street were Martha
(Wood) Alley (1883-1961) and husband Arthur M. Alley (1884-1961). Mr.
Alley, a native of Ellsworth, Maine, moved to Newburyport, Mass., by the
19teens and there ran his own drug store. For some years he rented rooms at
164 High Street (home of Alice Homer). In February, 1916, he joined St.
John's Masonic Lodge at Newburyport; and in September, 1918 he
registered for the draft at the end of World War One: at 34, he was self-
4
�employed as a druggist. He stayed in Newburyport into the 1930s,
unmarried until December, 1934, when he and Martha E. Wood were wed.
By 1935 Mr. Alley, 51, had moved to Salem and opened the Alley Drug
Store at now-335 Lafayette Street (comer ofWest). He and Martha in 1935
they were listed in the city directory at 15 Charles Street, the first time a
house is designated at that number. It would remain #15 into the 1980s.
From 1935 to 1941 (per directories etc.) the Alleys resided here and Mr.
Alley ran his store; but in 1942, when he (at 59) again registered for military
service, they moved to Ellsworth, Maine. There they would reside until their
deaths in 1961.
The new tenant, evidently as of 1942, was Mrs. Mary Alice (Sullivan) Shea,
known as Mae. In 1940 she, 47, working as a government telephone
operator, was estranged from her husband John H. Shea Jr. (1893-1951 ), a
Salem cable-splicer and veteran of WWI. He would end up in Camden, NJ.
Mrs. Shea resided here in 1942 with her three daughters, Mary G., 21,
Constance E., 18, and Joan, 14. Mary would marry Mr. Herlihy and Joan
would marry Mr. Cross. The Sheas resided here as a family for many years.
Constance was graduated from Salem High in 1942 and enlisted in the
WAVES but was discharged (see her high school photo, appended). In
October, 1944, Mary E. Devlin, owner of the property, sold the same to
Lucy Schneider and husband Benjamin, of Salem (ED 3386:65). It was
bounded as before. The Schneiders rented it to the Sheas for income.
By 1946 Constance E. Shea was married to a mason, Dewey W. Pearson
(1924-1999), and they resided here with her mother Mae Shea and her sister
Joan. The Pearsons saved their money and in November, 1946, Constance E.
(Shea) Pearson bought this homestead from the Schneiders (ED 3499:266).
She would own the premises for the next 22 years. The Pearsons sometimes
lived in Hamilton too, where they had a house (perhaps a summer house) on
Asbury Street starting in 1947 (per land records and directory). The SheaPearson family likely added the present double living room on the southwest
of the house, as a dining room and a living room. Perhaps somewhat later,
they added the back rooms and chimneys (3 fireplaces), with brickwork by
Mr. Pearson, who ran his masonry business from this address (per
directories). In 1955 the Pearsons sold their Hamilton property (ED
4158:110).
Mrs. Mae Shea evidently died or moved away in 1958-9 (not listed in
directory). In 1959, Mr. Pearson opened a store at 121 Boston Street,
Pearson's Hardware & Supplies; but he soon closed it and resumed
5
�bricklaying (per directories). He was of Salem in 1962 when he bought
property on Rubbly Hill Road in Beverly, which they would sell in 1965
(ED 5014: 114). In July, 1964, the Pearsons bought the garage and land to
the southwest of their homestead at #15 (ED 5192:477). In August, 1965,
Dewey Pearson took out a permit to have a swimming pool built here (see
card at city Building Inspector office); and in December, 1967, the Pearsons,
of Salem, sold the garage lot to the southwest (ED 5499:496). In 1967 the
Pearsons moved to Hamilton and in 1968 they moved to West Andover.
They returned to Hamilton and resided there for years before moving to
Florida, where their lives ended. Dewey W. Pearson would die on Nov. 23,
1999, aged 75, having survived Constance (died Nov. 27, 1994) by five
years. Their remains were interred at Keystone Heights Cemetery in Clay
County, Florida.
In October, 1968, Constance E. Pearson sold the homestead to Charles K.
and wife Phyllis Honsberger of Dundee, New York (ED 5561:789). They
moved to Salem, and Mr. Honsberger worked as a production manager for
General Electric in Lynn. In July, 1975, Mr. H. took out a permit and had
contractors add two second-story bedrooms to the house. Three years later,
due to a job transfer, the Honsbergers moved from Salem and on June 21,
1978, the homestead was sold to Dennis M. and wife Elaine Uram, then of
Billerica (ED 6483 :555). They had looked at more than thirty properties
before buying this one.
Dennis Uram, a native of Butler County, Pennsylvania, is now retired; for
most of his career he worked as a field service engineer. Educated at a
Pennsylvania State University program at McKeesport, and trained in
engineering and electronics in the US Army (1968-1971), he moved to
Lynn, Mass., to maintain and optimize equipment in the food packaging
business. His wife, Elaine, had experience in the restaurant business in
Pennsylvania. Eventually they moved to Billerica; however, finding it too
rural, they decided to move back to a spot near the sea. After the extensive
house hunt (ending in the purchase of #25), Elaine was invited to enter the
real estate business, which she did; and eventually she opened an office in
Lynn. Elaine died seven years ago.
After 39 years on Charles Street, Dennis Uram is a key member of the
community. In retirement, he leads an active life and (among other things)
enjoys bicycling and bike racing and participating Salem Explorers
continuing education association. Over the years, he has made many
changes and improvements to the house, about which he knew that the
earliest part had been moved from its original spot on Loring Avenue (he
6
�provided the pictures of the shanty in situ). Among many other changes, he
designed the front entry portico and had it built by Tim Rowe (a carpenter
since moved to Maine), who also executed Dennis' s designs for the oak trim
found throughout the living room. Aware of the building's railroad pedigree,
Dennis decided to give the exterior cornice some brackets, which he
designed and then fabricated on a jigsaw and installed himself, and painted
in complement to the pink-and green color scheme of the house. At the base
of each bracket, he stenciled in a pair of jleur de !is in honor of the area's
French Canadian heritage. Dennis has added window boxes as well, and
grows kale in the rock garden above the rear of the house. Two college
students currently board in the house, which, in every room and from every
angle, expresses the personality of its owner.
