�83 - 85 Derby Street
MACRIS
The building at 85 Derby Street exemplifies the Federal architectural form. Federal
homes This architecture is common for the Derby Street neighborhood. Federal style buildings
were particularly popular in the decades following the American Revolutionary War, when
many homes were constructed in the Derby Street neighborhood. Federal Style buildings built
in the late eighteenth century, such as 85 Derby Street, show similar features to earlier
eighteenth-century Georgian buildings with their focus on symmetry and balance.1 The Federal
Architecture of 85 Derby Street can be seen in its hipped roof and tall chimney.
As a house occupied in the Derby Street neighborhood between the eighteenth and
twenty-first century, 85 Derby Street has been home to many individuals who reflect the

�historical changes of the area. Early occupants who were linked to maritime industries present
a reminder of the importance of this area to the growth of Salem’s maritime community in the
late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. In later years, the house’s twentieth century
residents included various immigrants from Poland and Greece, showing the changing ethnic
character of the neighborhood at this time.
The Palfrey Family (1789-1816)
Richard Palfrey, a sailmaker and mariner, first began constructing the building in 1789.
A diary of William Bentley on May 13, 1789 mentions that “a cellar was dug by a Mr. Palfrey on
the lot of land running from Blaney’s alias Ingersoll and Allen’s wharf into Derby St, and on the
right of the land leading to the wharf. The house is on the street.2” The house was recorded as
being raised at this site on July 16.3Initially the dwelling housed a single family, but the building
eventually was repurposed as apartments. The size of the house may have changed over time.
In 1816 Richard Palfrey’s inventory listed a 3-story house on Derby Street; however, the
Sanborn Maps in 1890 and 1906 indicate a house that stood two and two-and a half stories.4
85 Derby Street stands at the corner of Derby Street and Blaney Street, which was a
central area for Salem’s maritime community in the late eighteenth century. At the time of first

�construction, in 1789, many other residences had already been built along Derby Street and
couple on Blaney Street. Many of the properties at this time were used commercially or
residentially by individuals involved in maritime industries. Buildings at 4 Blaney Street and 2
Blaney Street had been built in the years prior. On the adjacent corner stood the store of
another sailmaker, Nicholas Lane.5 At 4 Blaney Street, maritime merchant, Samuel Ropes had a
house, warehouse and store along Blaney Street.6
Richard Palfrey continued to live at 85 Derby Street until his death in 1814. Upon his
sickness and subsequent death in 1814, it is remarked that the Palfrey children (and a daughter
Ann in particular) are left with little financial support.7 Due to remaining debts left behind by
Richard Palfrey, the house was sold at auction in 1819, leaving the Palfrey family.
The Perry Family (1819-1875)
The Perry family came into possession of 85 Derby Street through the auction of the
deceased Richard Palfrey’s estate. Horatio Perry, Ittai Perry, and Theophilis Sanborn bid $550
for the house and land. Horatio Perry and Harriet Lane had married September 3, 1808, nearly
ten years before purchasing the new property.8 They also owned many of the surrounding

�lands and buildings on the block. Harriet Lane Perry outlived her husband and retained
ownership of the house. Between 1866 and 1872, Harriet Lane Perry is recorded as the primary
homeowner of 85 Derby Street.
In 1866 and 1869, Augusta Perry and Harriet Perry are listed as residents along with
Harriet Lane Perry.9 It is unclear how many children Horatio and Harriet had in total. Harriet L.
is certainly identified as a daughter within deeds of her parents’ land.10 In 1841, Harriet Perry
married Henry M. Barker, a shipwright in Salem.11 Horatio B. Perry, a gunsmith and locksmith in
Salem, may also have been a son; he married Sarah Ashton in 1834 and lived at 7 Curtis Street
until his death in 1874.12 A Salem high school catalogue from 1836 also mentions that Horatio
Perry and Harriet Lane enrolled a student named Willard B. Perry in 1836. It is likely that any
Perry children had grown up in the 85 Derby Street home.
By 1874, the Perry family did not reside at 85 Derby Street, although they continued to
use and own the property. A Salem Atlas in 1874 shows the structure as a small part of a larger
area inherited by descendants of the Perry family.13 Harriet Lane dies in 1873. Two years later,
Harriet L. Perry Barker and her husband Henry M. Barker sell the family home.14

�The McNulty Family (1877-1910)
During the period of the McNulty family’s homeownership, 85 Derby Street entered a
new era. The building was utilized as apartments and became home to dozens of new
residents. This tradition would continue for many years to come; however, unlike many future
homeowners, the McNulty family would reside within the house at 85 Derby Street alongside
the other occupants.
Other significant changes came to the property during the McNulty years. The 1895
Salem city directory is the first instance that reflects the address change from 45 Derby Street
to 85 Derby Street.15 Address numbering shifted on Derby Street during the McNulty family’s
ownership period. Prior to 1895 the property was numbered 45 Derby Street, instead of 85
Derby Street as it is today.16 The McNulty family probably altered the home’s structure to its
current shape. The 1874 street atlas shows a small addition off the left side of the home, set
back farther from the road; however, sometime between 1875 and 1900 this area was
transformed into a larger apartment or commercial space, separate from the original living
space.
Michael McNulty and his sons, Michael H. McNulty and James F. McNulty, are all
recorded as residents in 1895. In addition to living within the home, James F. McNulty, a clerk,
conducted business along with another relative John J. McNulty at 85 Derby Street in the 1890s.
The house was owned by Michael McNulty at the time, who worked as a teamster along with

�his son Michael H.. Over the years occupations changed for James F. and John J., who later went
on to work in real estate and carriage-smithing. Meanwhile, Michael H. remained a teamster
throughout his life. In the late nineteenth century, teaming was a popular profession. As
carriages were primarily horse-drawn, teamsters were necessary for driving the horse teams.
Michael McNulty often found work teaming for the city’s various departments.17
During the years of McNulty homeownership, members of the family owned other
houses on Derby, Becket, and Barton Streets in Salem. Fires destroyed property in 1893 and
1896 at 188 Derby Street, owned by Michael McNulty. Another fire affected the family in 1899
at 22 Becket Street, owned by John J. McNulty.18 Michael McNulty, married to Margaret, owned
85 Derby Street between 1877 and 1879. Michael died February 15, 1897. The house then
passed to Margaret McNulty, who sold it shortly after to John J. McNulty. The relationship
between John J. McNulty and Michael McNulty is unclear.
Along with several other occupants, Margaret McNulty, Michael H. McNulty and James
F. McNulty continued to reside at the house after the death of Michael McNulty. Margaret may
have shared much in common with the other female residents of this time, as several of them
were also widowed; Catherine Gray (a washerwoman) lived at the home in 1897-1899 and Ellen
M. Reardon in 1906. Both women were coincidentally married to men named John J.. A third

�woman in the 1890s listed under the name Mrs. H. M. Brennan may also have been a widow as
she resided without a spouse.19
John J. McNulty was never a resident of 85 Derby Street himself, although he owned the
property between 1897 and 1910. Rather, John J. McNulty lived at 5 Barton Street during this
period and remained there until his death in 1947. Eventually, the rest of the family moved out
of the home when it was sold to the Najechalski family in 1910.20
The Najechalski Family (1910-1951)
The next residents, Ignacy (often also spelled Ignatz) and Anna Najechalski purchase the
properties of 78, 81, and 85 Derby Street. During their entire time of homeownership, the
Najechalski family reside at nearby 81 Derby Street.21 Prior to moving to Derby Street, Ignacy
Najechalski lived at 7 Daniels Street and worked as a baker.22 He remained in Salem and this
profession throughout his life. Nearly twenty years after purchasing the Derby Street
properties, Najechalski relatives, likely children, appear in the city directories as residents of 81
Derby Street. They include Jas Najechalski (a leather worker) and his wife Annie Najechalski,
Edward Najechalski (a sheet metal worker), and Stanley Najechalski (a laborer).23 It Is Edward
who sells the house outside of the family years later.

�During the early-twentieth century to mid-twentieth century, 85 Derby Street continued
to be used as apartments. The new occupants of this period reflected changes in the Derby
Street neighborhood. Derby Street at this time became central to Salem’s growing Polish
community. A tremendous number of neighboring homes and businesses in these years were
owned by Polish families.24 Along this pattern, while most past residents of 85 Derby Street
possessed Irish and English surnames, the vast majority of renters during the Najechalski’s
homeownership possessed Polish surnames.
Between the 1880s and 1910s some of the residents included shopkeepers who utilized
the retail space next-door at 83 Derby Street. However, because each variety store did not
remain in business long, the building at 83 Derby Street was often vacant. Additions to the
structure at 85 Derby Street may also have been intended to serve as retail space. By the early
twentieth century the building had been given an ell-shape addition, which included a
storefront.25 However, city directories never mention any stores as being located at this
address, so it is unclear if it was ever used for such a purpose. Considering that Ignacy
Najechalski was a baker, it is possible that he intended or did use the building at 85 Derby
Street as part of his business.

�The Duda Family (1951-1964)
Similar to the Najechalski family, Mary and Anthony Duda both shared a Polish
background. Anthony Duda was born in Poland in 1888; Mary Ysczymun Duda was born in
Poland in 1895. Anthony died on June 5, 1962. Mary sold 85 Derby St. two years later.26 During
their thirteen years of homeownership, it is probable that the Mary and Anthony Duda followed
the tradition of previous homeowners and rented out apartments in the house.
The Lazarakis Family (1964-1969)
William K. Lazarakis was born in 1926 in Geraka, Greece.27 Mary Eliopoulos was born in
1928 in Salem. Like William, Mary’s parents were also from Greece; they lived in Langadia prior
to the United States. Both Geraka and Langadia are located ____. Mary Eliopoulos spent her
entire childhood in Salem and graduated from Salem High School in 1946. After their marriage,
William K. Lazarakis and Mary Lazarakis moved to Marblehead in 1964, where they began a
painting business that they would work in for most of their lives. In addition to the business,
Mary was a talented dress maker and a volunteer for local schools.28
William and Mary Lazarakis purchased 85 Derby Street the same year that they moved
to Marblehead, implying that they did not reside within the Salem home. It was likely used as a

�rental property. William died in 1977 at fifty-one years old, thirty-nine years before Mary
Eliopoulos Lazarakis who died at eighty-seven in 2016.29
The Lee Family (1969-1972)
The Lee Family briefly owned the house between the years 1969 and 1972. James H. Lee
and Julie E. Lee purchased the house from William K. Lazarakis on June 17, 1969. At the time of
the sale, James H. and Julie E. were living in Salem at 15 Carleton Street and there is no
indication that they ever resided at 85 Derby Street.30 Ownership of the property was later
transferred to James H. Lee and Jay Alden Trust on October 14, 1971.
The Copelas Family (1972-1973)
James H. Lee and Jay Alden Turner sold the property in 1972 from the Marblehead trust
to Mary Copelas. Mary Lappas Copelas was born May 2, 1917 in Danvers and her family grew
up in Essex County. Both her father, Nilos Ladopoulos Lappas, and mother, Mary Lampadarios
Ladopoulos, were born in Istanbul, Turkey and possess surnames that indicate Greek ancestry.
Her father was a reverend, and together the couple had eight children, including Mary.31 Mary
Lappas Copelas married Hercules P. Copelas, who was raised by a Greek family in Salem.

�Hercules died in March of 1972, seven months before his wife purchased 85 Derby Street.32
Their son Peter William Copelas worked for Heritage Co-Operative Bank in Salem, later
becoming CEO and President.33 Although Mary owned 85 Derby Street alone, she and her son
jointly owned several other properties in the Salem area.34
It is probable that Mary Lappas Copelas never lived in the house. She sold 85 Derby
Street less than a year later in 1973. Throughout this time, Mary remained a resident of
Beverly, Massachusetts.
The Savickey Family (1973-2021)
Richard E. Savickey and Rita P. Savickey purchased 85 Derby Street in 1973. The two
already lived at nearby 78 Derby Street. During this period, the house likely used again as a
rental property. Neither Richard nor Rita Savickey ever resided within the house during their
period of ownership, which lasted until 2021.35
