�Historical view of 10 Lynn Street.
Lynn Street is part of the McIntire Historic District an area that was developed in the late 18th century,
after the Revolutionary War. With the opening of the spice trade with China and the East Indies, Salem
experienced an influx of wealth that allowed the merchant class to move away from the crowded port and
into more fashionable neighborhoods along the newly developed Broad, Chestnut, Essex, and
Federal Streets. According to the records of Historic Salem, Inc., despite being part of the aforementioned
district, Lynn Street, and its neighboring streets, River and Andover, didn’t share that prosperity.
The nearby presence of the heavily polluted North River, made this area less desirable, being mostly
inhabited by artisans and a working-class increasingly made up of Irish immigrants. These immigrants
worked either in the growing leather industry along Boston Street, as laborers in the wharfs, or as
household staff for the wealthy families of Chestnut Street.
This plot was originally part of a larger tract of land that belonged to the Beckford family of Salem, until the
mid 18th century, when most of it was acquired by Benjamin Goodhue, a Salem merchant. In 1783,
Goodhue sold the land “near the new street” (Lynn Street) to a mariner, William Boden, whose house was
located on the corner between Lynn and Andover streets. In January of 1803, Boden subdivided his
property into two lots, selling the northern lot, 10 Lynn Street, to William Purbeck, a painter. A year later,
William Purbeck and his wife, Mehitable, sold the land, now including a newly-built Federal-style house, to
Jonathan Harthorne, a cabinet maker. After Harthorne’s death just a year later, the house was sold to John
Lambert, a mariner, who resided here until his own death by 1818. Following Lambert’s passing, the house
was divided into two dwellings and put up for auction, with John Allen, a mariner, purchasing the ground
floor, and Elizabeth Hacker, a widow, acquiring the upper floor. Eventually, in 1825, Hacker was able to
purchase the rest of the property from Allen, reuniting the house under a single owner.

16 Crombie Street
Built in 1834
for
Samuel Ferguson, Painter
Research by Donna Vinson
February, 1992
�16 Crombie Street
The Ferguson-Fellows House
Built in 1834 for Samuel Ferguson, Painter
History of the Property:
The lot on which 16 Crombie Street now stands is part of a much
larger lot which served as a pasture for the Corwin family in the
seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries.
Their house was <and is)
located on the corner of Essex and North Streets, the present-day
"Witch House".
The patriarch of the family, Captain George Corwin,
died in early 1685 and his executors inventoried his property and
possessions shortly thereafter.
Valued at ninety pounds was "the
pastor, qt. about 3 acres and 1/2, considering a buriall place ther
apointed"
(George Francis Dow, "An Inventory of the Contents of the
Shop and House of Captain George Corwin", Privately Printed in Salem,
1910, p. 5).
Captain Corwin bequeathed his house and a half part of the
pasture to his son Jonathan, who served as one of the judges in the
Salem Witch Trials seven years later.
In order to distance themselves
from his involvement, later generations of the family referred to
themselves as "Curwins" and "Curwens" after the judge's death in 1718.
In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, Reverend Bentley
reports that the pasture located between Essex, Summer, Norman, and the
newly-laid-out Crombie's "lane" or "court" was still called "Curwen's
field" even though it had passed to a succession of unrelated owners,
including members of the Cabot, Crombie, and Baker families.
"Curwen's field" remained undeveloped pastureland until Benjamim
Crombie began laying out a lane to Norman Street on the land adjoining
his Essex Street tavern, the "Sign of the Ship", after 1805.
Nearly
twenty years later, the "lane", "court", and finally "street", was
completed.
As the path gradually progressed southward, Crombie sold
off parts of his property to various Salem grantees, "together with a
right and privilege of free egress and regress of said way for
themselves, their heirs and assigns, and their servants on foot and in
carriages, for their cattle, carts, and otherwise, in as full and ample
a manner as the Inhabitants of said Salem use the Streets of said Town"
<Essex County Registry of Deeds, Book 179, leaf 222).
Joseph Baker,
Salem merchant, appears to have been the largest purchaser of the new
Crombie Street property <E.C.R.D. Book 179, leaves 221-223>.
Baker sold part of his newly-acquired property to James Bott,
Jr., saddler and son of the famed Salem chaisemaker and namesake of
"Bott's Court", further west along Essex Street, in 1807 <E.C.R.D. Book
181, leaves 103-104>.
Bott purchased additional property on Crombie
Street in the following year, financing both purchases with mortgages
�granted by the sellers, Baker and Thorndike Deland <E.C.R.D. Book 182,
leaves 285-287>.
Bott's mortgages apparently became so burdensome that
he was compelled to sell his Crombie Street properties at a loss to his
more established father in 1811 <E.C.R.D. Book 192, leaves 259-260).
James Bott Sr. held the estate, one of many in Salem he possessed,
until his death in 1829 at the venerable age of eighty-four.
The elder Bott possessed not only many properties in Salem but
also many heirs, and so the settlement of his estate took several
years.
In 1833, one of Bott's grandchildren, Samuel Ferguson, bought
the shares of his siblings in the Crombie Street property and erected a
house on the consolidated estate in the following year <E.C.R.D. Book
274, leaves 51-52).
Either he did not intend, or could not afford, to
live in the new house as he sold it to Oliver Fellows, shipwright and
"caulker", only a year later <E.C.R.D. Book 284, leaves 181-182).
The Fellows family remained in residence at 16 Crombie Street for
over forty years.
Mrs. Fellows lived there alone after her husband's
death in the 1860s, and her heirs sold the property to Lydia Woodbury,
widow of Stephen Woodbury of Salem, after their mother's death
<E.C.R.D. Book 972, leaves 175-176).
From time to time Mrs. Woodbury
took in tenants and residents to live with her, and in her later years
a niece, Miss H.P. English, was in residence.
After Lydia Woodbury's
death in 1900 her heirs sold the property to Mr. and Mrs. George A.
Stevens of Salem <E.C.R.D. Book 1620, pages 57-58>.
George Stevens was
a guard at the nearby Mercantile National Bank on Essex Street
<Salem
Directory, 1901). Della Stevens Bogart and her husband Harry, a
clerk, came into possession of the house after her mother's death in
1921 <E.C.R.D. Book 2501, pages 435-437>. The Bogarts also took in
occasional boarders <Salem Directories, 1921-1931).
After ten years in residence, the Bogarts sold 16 Crombie Street
to Franklin and Margaret O'Brien of Salem, who occupied the house until
1946 <E.C.R.D. Book 2870, page 333; E.C.R.D. Book 3132, page 487>.
That year, 16 Crombie Street and other properties in the immediate
vicinity, including the Empire Theater on the corner of Essex and
Crombie Streets, were conveyed to Naumkeag Insurance Company, Inc. of
Salem and its real estate associate, Salem Realty Company, by various
grantors, including the O'Briens <E.C.R.D. Book 3477, page 108;
E.C.R.D. Book 3518, pages 349-353. See inserted "Plot Plan of Property
on Summer St., Salem, Mass. for Salem Realty Co., 285 1/2 Essex Street,
Salem, Mass.).
In 1958 Salem Realty Company sold 16 Crombie Street to
Mary W. Cass and Joanna M. Cass, mother and daughter <E.C.R.D. Book
4523, page 52).
Joanna Cass Bennett and her husband James Bennett are
the present owners of the property.
