1843-1853 Property History Prior to Building of 360 Essex Street
The earliest records in regards to the lot of land that is now 360 Essex Street in Salem,
Massachusetts date to June of 1843 when Salem merchant Emery Johnson purchased “a
certain piece of land with the buildings thereon situated in Salem […] on Essex Street” from
Salem industry mogul David Pingree for $5,000:
[…]bounded as follows, Viz., Southerly on Essex Street one hundred and
two feet, more or less, Easterly on land partly now or formerly of Mrs.
Sarah Clark to land of Joseph Winn to a corner, Northerly on land of said
Winn and R. S. Saunders as the fence now stands, to a corner at the fence
just northwest of the barn and thence running Southerly to Essex Street
and bounded Westerly by Ferguson’s land, together with all the privileges
and appurtenances thereto belonging.1

Reference points alluded to in the 1843 deed are reflected in the 1851 Salem City
Atlas, published by Henry McIntyre, just six years after Emery Johnson’s purchase of the
property on Essex Street, (specifically the properties belonging to Winn and Ferguson).
Furthermore, the Atlas shows that there is no apparent building footprint at the current
location of 360 Essex Street which confirms that the Italianate home could not have been
standing before 1851.
In 1845, just two years after the purchase of the property that is now 360 and 362
Essex Street from David Pingree, Emery Johnson passed away from scurvy at the age of 54
on the 18th of January, leaving his wife a widow, Sarah (Saunders) Johnson, and their three
surviving sons, Emery Saunders Johnson, Charles Augustus Johnson, and Horace Palmer
Johnson, without a father.
Emery S. Johnson became the man of the house at seventeen and went to work with
his two younger brothers: Charles, aged fifteen in 1845, and Horace, who was just twelve.
Benefiting from their father’s business connections with Salem’s maritime elite, the Johnson
boys were employed at sea working for David Pingree and other Salem ship owners in the
perilous trade with South America, Africa, and Asia.
Tragedy struck the Johnson family again in 1851 when the two youngest surviving
sons of Emery and Sarah Johnson both perished while on dangerous trade voyages between
the shores of Zanzibar and Salem. Charles Augustus Johnson was just 21 years old when he
lost his life in Zanzibar North, Tanzania in May of 1851, then less than 3 months later the
youngest Johnson brother, Horace, was lost at sea in August at the age of nineteen.
Now the only surviving child of Emery and Sarah S. Johnson, Captain Emery S.
Johnson, then aged twenty-five, had already retired from his seafaring career before the age
of 25. Having inherited a sufficient amount of capital from his father’s estate and no remaining
siblings to divide the property, he also purchased the buildings and land at 360 and 362 Essex
Street from his father’s estate, and then leased the home at 362 Essex back to his mother,
Susan Johnson, who remained in the house for the next few decades until her passing in 1880.

Spring 1853 Italianate Revival Home Built at 360 Essex Street for Capt. Emery S. Johnson
Image Source: Tolles, c.1982
The physical history of the home at 360 Essex Street has been well documented by
architectural historians of the past, including Bryant F. Tolles’ 1982 illustrated guide entitled
‘Architecture in Salem’:
The Emery S. Johnson house is situated above the level of Essex Street on
sloping terrain and is one of Salem’s finest and most imposing Italian
Revival-style residences. […] Familiar Italian Revival features include
corner quoins, rusticated fade boarding, carved and paired cornice brackets
and medallions, segmental-arch dormers, thin modeled chimneys, a front
window bay (second story), heavy molded window frames, and flat molded
pediment caps above the first floor windows, which, judging by old
photographs, appear to have been 20th-century additions.2

On the 28th of August 1973, the Emery S. Johnson House was added to the National
Register, and then added to the Local Historic District in March of 1981. The Massachusetts
Historical Commission also completed its own physical and historical evaluation of the
property at 360 Essex Street:
The 2 1/2-story, hip-roofed dwelling displays a symmetrical facade with
the two end bays bowed and flanking a central entrance porch. The facade
of the Italianate style dwelling is sheathed in wood boards scored to
resemble stone with quoins at the corners; the side elevations are
clapboarded. The projecting eaves are adorned by paired brackets and
dentils. Sheltering the central entrance is a single-story entrance porch
supported by octagonal posts. The flat roof is decorated by curved consoles.
The four-panel door is flanked by partial sidelights and a full transom
filled with stained glass in a foliate pattern. To each side of the entrance is
an elongated 6/6 window with footed sills and heavy molded window
frames. The entablature lintel is supported by two brackets with
modillions [sic] between. The second floor windows consist of smaller 6/6
windows with molded surrounds, footed sills and a simpler entablature
with two brackets. A single-story, three-sided bay window projects from the
west elevation. Resting above the entrance is a rectangular bay window
outlined by simple pilasters with horizontal, recessed panels below the
windows. The hip roof is punctuated by two segmentally arched dormers
with dentils. The balustrade has simple posts with railings in an " x "
pattern. Two interior chimneys punctuate the asphalt-shingled roof. 3
These reports do little to explain the social and familial history of the building, which
began with Emery S. Johnson in 1853. Johnson hired Salem architects William H. Emmerton
and Joseph C. Foster to design an Italianate home to be a statement of the Johnson family’s
relatively new prominence in one of the Nation’s oldest cities. The road to 360 Essex Street
had certainly not been an easy one for Emery Saunders Johnson, but one whose richness
extended beyond his material wealth.

Emery S. Johnson & Family
Emery Saunders Johnson was born in Salem on the 7th of May, 1827, the first child to
Captain Emery Johnson (originally of Warren, Mass.) and Salem native Sarah Saunders
(Johnson). The elder Emery Johnson had migrated to Salem from Western Massachusetts
after the death of his father, Eli, and began working in the flourishing shipyards of Salem’s
waterfront, eventually working his way into the inner circles of Salem’s wealthiest traders and
manufacturers.
In April, 1817, Capt. Emery Johnson was co-owner (with James C. King) and master
of the 126-ton Salem brig Roscius and in April, 1819, Captain Johnson was owner and master
of the Salem 114-ton schooner Madeira Packet. In the 1820s he came ashore and became a
partner in the merchant house of the wealthy Rogers Brothers — merchant shippers who
traded overseas to Madagascar and other markets. Together they owned the ship
Perseverance, the ship Clay, and the brig Talent. In the 1830s Captain Johnson joined David
Pingree in ownership of the 240-ton bark Eliza, the large new ship Thomas Perkins (596 tons
burthen) and the 374-ton bark Cynthia, of which, in 1838, Captain Johnson went back to sea
as commander.
By the time his oldest son and namesake came of apprenticeship age, Captain Emery
Johnson, Sr. was able to procure work for his son with David Pingree, at the time Salem’s
wealthiest citizen. Pingree made his fortune in trading cloth, made by the Naumkeag Steam
Cotton Co. in the Point neighborhood of Salem, and bartered throughout markets of the
world, most especially with Zanzibar in Eastern Africa. After the death of Emery Sr., the
three surviving Johnson boys all went to work at sea for the Shipmasters of Salem — only
one would survive to the age of twenty-two.

Rigging Pattern of a 19th C. American Bark (Barque)
The type of ship that two of the Johnson boys would lose their lives aboard.
Charles Augustus Johnson boarded the Brig Eagle destined for Para, Brazil on the 19th of
September in 1848 and returned home some months later, undoubtedly with stories of
adventure abroad. He sailed again at the age of twenty-one on September 13th in 1850 on the
Bark4 named Lewis with Zanzibar as the cargo’s destination. This voyage was likely shipping
cotton cloth manufactured at the Naumkeag Steam Cotton Company, then the largest steampowered manufacturing operation in the world. Sadly, during the return trip from Zanzibar,
the young Charles A. Johnson lost his life on the 8th of May, 1851.5

In December of 1848, a seventeen-year-old man named Horace Palmer Johnson, the
youngest surviving son of Emery (Sr.) and Sarah, embarked on his first voyage. La Plata, a
263 ton Boston Bark built in 1839, was loaded with commodities and bound for Western
Africa, and young Horace aboard.6 The trip would have taken anywhere between three to six
months to return. Available records do not indicate he ever sailed to return again; instead, the
only available records show that during the return trip from Zanzibar in August of 1851, 19year-old Horace suffered the same fate as his older brother, Charles, and was lost at sea.

Emery S. Johnson in his short but

Dana, Jr., 13th Ed., 1873.)
Several months before either of his younger brothers first ventured onto a shipping
vessel bound for exotic lands, Emery S. Johnson had his first voyage as Second Mate aboard
the Brig Garland, which departed the 19th of January in 1848, and safely returned to Salem
after delivering and exchanging commodities and cargo in Para. Apparently proving himself,
then 21-year-old Emery S. Johnson is listed serving as First Mate on his second voyage to
Brazil, this time on the Brig Russell bound for Rio Grande and a ‘Market’. The Russell left
Salem’s shores on December 19, 1848, while Emery’s brother Charles was on his first voyage
aboard the Eagle, and the same month that young Horace embarked towards Zanzibar
aboard La Plata.

After only two successful voyages, Emery S. Johnson was promoted to Shipmaster by
the time the Brig he captained, named Draco, set sail for Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil in May
of 1849. Capt. E. S. Johnson went on to captain the Draco once again to Rio Grande,
departing on the 29th of November 1849, and returning by spring 1850. 7 By this point he had
amassed fortune from his time as a shipmaster, and by the sizable wealth left to the Johnson
family by Emery Sr.’s will. Thus, Emery S. Johnson was able to retire from seafaring after
only two voyages as captain of the merchant brig Draco — he was 22 years old.
During the interim between voyages, Emery S. Johnson met and courted Ann
Elizabeth Creamer, and upon his final return trip from sea the two were wed in June of 1850.
The newlyweds resided in an apartment at 81 Essex Street, at the time the Law Offices of
Stephen P. Webb, located in the historic Capt. J. Hodges House. Tragedy plagued the
Johnson family the following year in 1851, when both of Emery’s younger brothers, Charles
and Horace, died at sea in May and August of the same year. After the passing of his brothers,
Emery S. Johnson became the sole male heir to his father’s fortune, and in October 1852 he
officially purchased the property at 360 and 362 Essex Street from Emery Sr.’s Estate:
[…]executor of the last will and testament of Emery Johnson, late of
said Salem, deceased […] and with the written consent of the widow of
said Emery, as required in said will, in consideration of five thousand
dollars paid me in my said capacity, by Emery S. Johnson of said Salem,
ship master […] being the same estate which was conveyed to said
Emery Johnson by David Pingree, by his deed dated 12th June 1843, and
recorded Book 353, leaf 34.8

Summary: The logbook of the brig Draco details two voyages between Boston, Rio Grande, Brazil and Salem
(May 1849 to Mar. 1850). Home port was [Salem, Mass.]; owners were [the Kimball Brothers]; master was
[E.S. Johnson]; log keeper was Emery S. Johnson. It is an incomplete daily log that describes wind, weather,
location, and sightings of ships. Bound with the ship Ann Maria, the brig Garland, and an unknown vessel.

1853-1886 Emery S. Johnson & Family at 360 Essex Street
By the time the Italianate home was completed at 360 Essex Street for Captain Emery
S. Johnson, he had entered into the second half of the 19th century in his early twenties, flush
with cash and ready to move on to the next chapter of his career. The opportunity arose in the
form of Emery’s new father-in-law, Benjamin Creamer, with whom he established Johnson &
Creamer and began their own mercantile shipping business moving commodities of all types
throughout the world.

Shreeve (364 Essex), and Richard & William R. Wheatland (358 Essex), gentlemen farmers.
According to the 1855 Massachusetts State Census, Emery S. Johnson and his wife,
Annie E. Johnson, both aged twenty-seven, had settled into their beautiful new home at 360
Essex Street. (Just across the street at 361 Essex lived Benjamin and Anne Creamer, Annie’s
parents, Emery S. Johnson’s in-laws.) The couple welcomed their first child the same year on
the 3rd of February; just four years after the passing of both Emery’s younger brothers in
1851, the new Mr. and Mrs. Johnson decided to name their first child for the lost Johnson
boys — Charles Horace Johnson. Two years later, another child was born to Emery and Ann
E. Johnson on the 15th of September in 1857, Emery Walter Johnson, who completed this
generation of the Johnson family.

Regrettably, tragedy followed the Johnson name, and Charles Horace suffered a
similar fate than that of his departed uncles; at the age of seventeen, in early December of
1872, Charles H. Johnson suffered an accidental shooting through his hand, which he initially
survived. As was commonly the case before the advent of antibiotics and penicillin, young
Charles developed a bacterial infection, tetanus, and passed away on the 17th of December.
His premature death was reported the following day in the daily Boston Globe newspaper on
December 18, 1872:
Sad Result — In the Globe of the 9th was mentioned a case of accidental
shooting by the premature discharge of a patent cartridge with which Mr.
Charles Johnson was loading a gun. Young Johnson’s hand was
considerably shattered by the explosion, but the wound was dressed and, up
to Sunday morning, seemed to be doing well, but at that time severe lockjaw set in, and, despite the strenuous efforts of the most skilled doctors,
resulted in his death yesterday afternoon. Young Johnson was about 18
years old, and was the son of Emery S. Johnson, Esq. He was a young
man of marked abilities, and was a member of the senior class of the
Salem classical and high school, and was intending to enter Harvard
College. His early death, just at the beginning of manhood, will be a cause
of deep mourning to a large circle of friends and acquaintances.
Fifteen-year-old Emery Walter Johnson suddenly found himself an only child in a
family with a legacy to maintain in Salem. Named for his wildly successful grandfather and
father young Emery undoubtedly benefitted from his family’s material wealth. His life’s work
shows that he did not take this responsibility lightly and worked throughout his life to live up
to the magnitude of his name. After the passing of his older brother, Emery W. Johnson
attended Phillips Academy in Exeter, New Hampshire9, then returned to Salem after
graduating in 1874 at the age of seventeen. In Salem’s 1880 Directory he is noted as having
been ‘removed to Colorado’ — confirmed by an 1890 U.S. Passport Application submitted by
Emery Walter Johnson, which describes his residence as being located at 59 Symes Block in
Denver, Colorado (still standing today).

Captain Emery S. Johnson resided in the house until his death in December of 1886,
almost exactly fourteen years to the day that his son, Charles Horace Johnson, suffered an
accidental shooting and subsequent fatal infection. Upon his passing, the Salem Gazette
published a paragraph (albeit with a typo in the decedents address) entitled ‘Another
Shipmaster Gone’:
Capt. Emery S Johnson Passes Away at His Residence
Captain Emery S. Johnson, another of Salem’s shipmasters, died
yesterday afternoon at his residence, No. 380 Essex street, of rheumatism
of the heart. His illness was quite brief. Capt. Johnson was brought up in
the counting room of David Pingree, and very early in life became a
seaman, working his way up until he became a master mariner, and was
engaged in the East India carrying trade. As early in life as 23 years old,
he retired from active business pursuits, having a large income left him by
his father. He was a great traveller and spent several years in the other
countries, visiting all points of interest. He leaves a widow and one son, the
latter being Walter P. Johnson, a lawyer, now engaged in business in
Denver, Col. He was 58 years old. Although he had been quite ill, his death
was somewhat unexpected. 10
Following the passing of Emery S.
Johnson, Ann E. (Creamer) Johnson relocated
to Summer Street until just before her death in
1899, while living at 362 Essex Street, as
reported in the Salem Evening News on the
22nd of July, 1899:
Mrs. Annie E. [Johnson] widow of Capt.
Emery S. Johnson, died at her residence, 362
Essex street, this morning. She was a native
of Salem, a daughter of the late Benjamin
Creamer, and in her 75th year. She leaves a
son, Walter Johnson.

1886 360 Essex Street becomes a rental property owned by Emery W. Johnson
The Captain’s estate transferred ownership to the Johnson’s only surviving son, Emery
Walter, who had yet to return to Salem from his time in Denver, Colorado. After the passing
of his mother in 1899, Emery W. Johnson returned to Salem and moved into 362 Essex Street
and maintained the neighboring property at 360 Essex as a rental property occupied by a
number of tenants. (For a complete timeline of residents at 360 Essex Street, see appendix
section.)

Ella (Ashton) Dodd, James W. Dodd, and Andrew W. Dodd, Jr.. The Dodd family were

tenants of 360 Essex Street from 1890 until Andrew W. Dodd Sr.’s passing in 1909. The
Dodd’s hailed from Gloucester, Mass. where the family owned a Glue & Oil Manufacturing
business, which continued to operate and prosper while the Dodd’s lived on Essex Street in
Salem.
After the passing of A. W. Dodd, Sr. in April of 1909, the property at 360 Essex was
occupied by famed airplane engineer, Greeley Stevenson Curtis, Jr., one of the pioneers of
American Aeronautical Engineering. Along with N. Starling Burgess, Greeley S. Curtis
established the Aero Club of America and went on to engineer the first sea-plane ever created.
25 June 1914 | Salem, Mass.
The Great Salem Fire raged for more than thirteen hours, destroying an entire third of the City.
On June 25, 1914, a fire started at the Korn Leather Factory, 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, wiping
out the houses of Boston Street, Essex Street, and upper Broad Street, and then sweeping
21

through 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, 41 factories, and leaving three dead and thousands
homeless.
The home at 360 Essex was thankfully spared, but in the aftermath of the Great Salem
Fire, Mr. Curtis decided it was time to move on from the City and his home at 360 Essex
Street, and owner Emery W. Johnson rented the property to other tenants. In 1917 Charles
E. Morgan took up residence at the Johnson property, along with his wife, Daisy M. Morgan,
as well as John Morgan Jr. and his wife, Rose. The Morgan family owned and operated a
market gardening business as well as the Alaska Fur Company at 264 Cabot Street, and
remained living at 360 Essex Street through 1926.

1927 Estate of Emery W. Johnson Sells 360 Essex Street to Susan L. Brown
Upon returning from Colorado in the first year of the 20th century, Emery Walter
Johnson and his wife, Annie E. (Cloutman) Johnson resided at 362 Essex Street while
managing 360 Essex as a rental property. According to the 1920 Salem Directory, E. Walter
Johnson had moved to Winchendon, along the northern border of Massachusetts, in an effort
to regain his failing health — on the 29th of July in 1921, at the age of 63, Emery Walter
Johnson passed away suddenly at his home in Winchendon. As a member of the Fraternal
Organization, the Freemasons, his life and passing was diligently memorialized in
contemporaneous Masonic Records:
In Winslow Lewis Lodge
October 14th, 1921
Once more, one of our older members has gone to meet the
Supreme Architect of the Universe, and it is our sad duty to record the
passing of Brother Emery Walter Johnson, a member of our Lodge for over
twenty-eight years.
Brother Johnson was born in Salem, Mass., on September 15th,
1857 and after graduating from the High School, entered Phillips Exeter
Academy. After completing his studies there he went to Denver, Colo.,
where he entered a law office and studied a year or more. He then returned
East, married and went to Europe where he and his wife spent many years
in travel. When in Paris, during the Exposition of 1900, he was appointed
by the Paris Exposition Commission as a member of the Jury.
After his return to America, he went back to his old home in
Salem to live. Owing to failing health, a few years later, he bought a home
in the country, to take up the simple life and to regain his health. Although
greatly improved, he never fully recovered from a serious illness he had
while living in Paris. On July 29th, he passed suddenly away in his home
in Winchendon, Mass. His body was taken to Salem for interment in the
Harmony Grove Cemetery.
He received his degrees in Masonry in Union Lodge, Denver, Colo.,
where he was initiated May 18, 1888, passed June 20, 1888 and raised to
the sublime degree of Master Mason, July 25, 1888. He became a member
of our Lodge on February 24, 1893. While Brother Johnson was not a

frequent visitor to the Lodge, due to failing health and therefore was not
well known by our younger members, his cheerful disposition and genial
good fellowship made him a host of friends. All who knew him well feel that
they have suffered a personal loss by his unexpected death.
Be it therefore resolved that we, the members of Winslow Lewis
Lodge, realizing our loss, deeply sympathize with his widow, in the keen
sorrow of her earthly separation.
Be it further resolved that these resolutions be spread upon the
records, and that a copy of this Memorial be engrossed and sent to the
widow of our deceased brother.

Obituary of Emery Walter Johnson
Salem Evening News
30 July 1921
Emery Walter’s will names Mrs. Annie C. Johnson as the beneficiary, and she
continued to rent the house at 360 Essex Street to the Morgan family until the property was
sold in 1927 to Susan L. Brown and her husband, Hulings C. Brown.

1927 Property Deed from Annie Johnson to Susan L. Brown
Southern Essex Registry of Deeds: Book 2715 Page 409
1927-1936 Hulings C. & Susan L. Brown reside at 360 Essex Street
Originally from Germantown, Pennsylvania, Hulings Coperthwatte Brown built a
career as a publisher with Little, Brown & Co. — established in 1837 by Charles Coffin Little
and partner, James Brown — early publications include ‘Little Women’ by Louisa May
Alcott, poetry by Emily Dickinson, the first U.S. iteration of the ‘Encyclopedia Britannica’,
and John Bartlett’s ‘Familiar Quotations’.
At the age of 25, Hulings met and courted Salem native, Susan L. Waters, daughter of
William C. & Susan Waters — the two were wed on the 4th of June, 1886. By the time
Hulings and Susan Brown purchased the home at 360 Essex Street from the Johnson family,
both were in their mid-sixties, ready to enjoy a comfortable retirement in the city of Salem.
Five years after their purchase of the home, Hulings C. Brown passed away in 1933, leaving a
sizable estate, as reported by the Boston Globe on May 9th, 1933:

Hulings C. Brown Leaves Estate of $250,000
Salem, May 8 — The will of Hulings C. Brown of Salem,
disposing of an estate estimated at $250,000, was allowed in the Essex
County Probate Court today. The property was left to his wife and
relatives.
The Salem Country Club, of which Mr Brown was a prominent
member, was given 16 paintings now in the Brown home, and the Salem
Billiard Club a set of 16 books. Robert E. Gardiner of Concord and Robert
R. Duncan of Cambridge are named as executors. Mr Brown was a
member of the firm of Little, Brown & Co., Boston book publishers.
Mrs. Brown, now a widow, remained living at 360 Essex Street until her own passing
1935-6, at which point the property was sold to Alan P. Freedberg from Susan L. Brown’s
estate:

1936-2007 Dr. Alan P. Freedberg & Family reside at 360 Essex Street
Solomon and Rose Freedberg arrived on the shores of Boston in 1908 — Rose was
expecting, and they knew that their homeland would be no place to raise their child; for
Russian Jews, the socio-political tensions in Eastern Europe were rising to a fever pitch, with
increasing anti-Semitism and more frequent pogroms throughout the region. Rose “Rosie”
Freedberg was 23 years old when she joined her husband, 20 year-old Solomon H. Freedberg,
in building a life in an entirely new world; by 1912 the couple settled into a home at 28 Ward
Street (and later 8 Cliff), Salem along with family members Hyman, a peddler, and Simon, a
meat cutter. Solomon went to work in Salem’s first kosher butchery, established by the
Freedberg family — the Salem Kosher Meat Co. at 26 1/2 Peabody Street.
Solomon and Rosie Freedberg welcomed their first child, a son named Alan Phillips
Freedberg, on July 30th, 1909 — as new arrivals to a centuries-old city, the couple named
their first-born for one of Salem’s legendary maritime families, the Phillips (the descendants of
whom lived in the same neighborhood at 34 Chestnut Street). Over the next eleven years, the
family would add three more Freedberg children: Abraham in 1910, Edith in 1915, and Ruth
in 1920.
The 1931 Hub | Boston University College of Liberal Arts Yearbook
22 year-old Alan P. Freedberg attended Boston University while residing at 8 Cliff Street, five years
before his purchase of 360 Essex Street.

�A. Kellett

The Freedberg family worked tirelessly to provide a better life to their children than
the previous generation, and were successful in doing so — their firstborn, Alan, attended
Boston University College of Liberal Arts where he majored in Biology and minored in
Chemistry, and then attended medical school, earning his degree from the University of
Chicago in 1934. Upon his return to Salem, Alan P. Freedberg established a successful
practice serving the City as a physician and surgeon for the remainder of the 20th century.
Upon purchasing the property at 360 Essex Street from the Estate of Susan L. Brown
in 1936, Alan insisted that his aging parents also occupy the grandiose building on upper
Essex Street, while Solomon continued to work in the real estate industry. One can only
imagine the difference between the world that Solomon and Rosie Freedberg experienced and
fled as a young Jewish couple in turn-of-the-century Russia, and the contrast with life in
Salem at 360 Essex Street. It is encouraging for humanity to see an instance where former
refugees are able to attain a better life for themselves and their families, and even more the
gratitude and responsibility their son, Alan, was able to take on for them later in life.
1944 Salem City Directory | Alan P. Freedberg
When Kamikaze pilots attacked Pearl Harbor in Hawaii on December 7, 1941, Alan
Phillips Freedberg decided his skills as a physician and surgeon would best be put to use in
the United States Armed Forces — he joined up at the age of 32, eventually earning the rank
of 1st Lieutenant in the US Army for the duration of World War II. Upon his return, he met
and married Charlotte Rosenberg in 1945, at which point the couple settled into their home at
360 Essex Street, where they would remain for the rest of their lives.

On the 2nd of May in 1957 Solomon Freedberg passed away at the age of 71. Rosie
Freedberg continued to reside with her son, Alan, at 360 Essex Street until her own passing a
decade later on June 24, 1967. Both Solomon and Rosie undoubtedly enjoyed the sunset
years of their lives spent watching their grandsons grow.
Obituary of Solomon H.
Freedberg
Salem Evening News
30 July 1921
In December of 1995, Dr. Alan P. Freedberg (aged 85) and his wife, Charlotte (75),
officially declared the home at 360 Essex as their Homestead.11 Both would live to see the new
century, as the Doctor passed away in January of 2007 at the age of 97, and his beloved wife
Charlotte a decade later in 2018. Alan, his mother Rose, and father Solomon are all interred at
the Sons of Jacob Cemetery in Danvers, Massachusetts.

The Homestead Act is Massachusetts General Laws (MGL) Chapter 188. The homestead estate is designed to
protect home ownership from execution and forced sale, so long as the owner or covered family member
occupies or intends to occupy the property as his or her principal place of residence.
