Other Notes:
MACRIS: r. 1865, between 1851 and 1874
William H. H. Sweetser House
“38 Putnam Street is an unusual blend of the Greek and Gothic
�Revival styles; the Gothic Revival style was rare in Salem. The
house is 1 1/2 stories high, with a gable roof , broadside to the
street. The five bay facade has a center entry flanked by 1/2
paneled sidelights and surrounded by fluted pilasters and an
entablature. Window sash are 2 / 1. Two Gothic Revival gables, each
containing 2/1 window, are symmetrically placed on the facade .
The west elevation possesses a one-story entry ell with stuccoed
foundation, cornice returns and triangular window in the gable
end. The east elevation has flush eaves.
Putnam Street is one of the earlier streets in the Gallows
Hill area, laid out by 1851. This house is depicted on the 1874
atlas as the property of William H . H . Sweetser, a leather tanner.
The house remained in his possession as late as 1897. Unfortunately, previous occupants of the
house are unknown.”
Reasoning for the Date of 1859:
As noted in the MACRIS entry for 38 Putnam, it does not appear that the current house was
standing in 1851 when a map of Salem’s houses was first produced. George F. Foote and his
wife Mary Cheever Foote moved to Salem from Lynn between 1837 and 1844, presumably
around November 9th, 1844, when Frazier sold to Samuel P. Cheever a lot of land at Woodend
in Lynn.
When, in November of 1842, Frazier bought the initial piece of land on the corner of what would
become Hanson and Putnam Streets, there was no house present. That land was enlarged in 1853
with the purchase of a second parcel by Mary, though the 1858 deed with their son John C.
indicates that the dwelling house at that time fit on the 1842 parcel.
The transition between 1859 and 1861 in the Salem Directory from identifying the home of the
Fraziers as “house rear 93 Boston Street,” which it had been since 1846 to “corner Hanson and
Putnam Streets,” indicates a change. Hanson and Putnam Streets had their names by 1857, as
indicated in the directory that year and 1859 that Hanson Street began at 93 Boston Street. and
that Putnam ran from Hanson to Proctor Court. So the change was likely in the house itself.
In 1859, Frazier bought and mortgaged a rectangular parcel of land on Hanson Street, with 50
feet of frontage. In the same deed he purchased a lot of land in Beverly. as well. In 1859 and in
1864, Frazier and Mary mortgaged the house to the Salem Workingman’s Loan (592:85;
663:162).
�Further land on Hanson Street purchased by Foote in 1859.
