310 ESSEX STREET - WITCH HOUSE - BUILDING JACKET No. 153L-2 HASTINGS. MN LOS ANGELES•CHICAOO.LGGAN.ON MCGREGOR.TX-LOCUST GROVE.GA U.S.A. Salem Historic Preservation Maintenance Flan Page i Witch House 8/27/98 310 Essex Street GENERAL INFORMATION 0 The 2 1/2 story wood frame house is maintained and operated as a museum house by the Salem Parks and Recreation Department.This is the only piece of city owned property that is operated as a museum. It is highly visible as a tourist attraction and has a high rate of visitation compared to most house muse- ums.The house was moved back on its site onto a new full concrete basement and very heavily restored in 1945.It is furnished with a full complement of period furnishings and accessories,and shown by a staff of paid tour guides in period costumes.The house is well kept with major physical problems limit- ed to window deterioration and dampness problems primarily on the north facade and basement.There are also long term curatorial issues pertaining to collections management and interpretation. Size First Floor: 1,550 gross square feet Second Floor: 950 gross square feet excluding leanto Attic: 950 gross square feet Basement: 1,550 gross square feet HISTORICAL DATA The house was constructed by about 1675 for Jonathan Corwin who was a Judge during the Salem witchcraft trials.The date is based on a 1675 Contract between Corwin and a Daniel Andrews for • Andrews to perform a number of tasks to finish the house.Corwin purchased the property in that year from Captain Richard Davenport.The house was enlarged in the 18th century(1746 according to tradi- tion)by raising the height of the 2nd floor leanto attic and changing the roof to a large gambrel roof that covered the full depth of the house.The house was further altered in about 1856 by the addition of one story storefront housing an apothecary shop.This was attached to the easterly half of the front facade. The house was acquired by Historic Salem,Inc. and restored in 1945 by architect Gordon Robb of Boston with the assistance of preservation architect Frank Chocteau Brown. The restoration removed virtually all 18th and 19th century changes to restore the house to its presumed ca. 1675 appearance(a few scraps of 18th century finishes were left in place in the leanto attic,and vari- ous unlabeled doors and framing members are stored in the leanto attic and the third floor attic).The exposed frame of the front rooms on the first and second floors(including the framed overhang of the second story,but excluding the entry hall),the fireplaces and chimney above the basement,many floor- boards,and a very few important elements of finish woodwork remain from the early construction(stair balusters and trim boards,and the rear door and-frame leading to the attic stairs in the parlor chamber). The house was moved several feet back on the site and provided with an all new cast in place founda- tion,a cellar under the full house,and new framing and subfloor for the first floor.The entire gambrel roof was removed,and the current roof constructed using modern framing materials and details. Almost all the existing plaster was removed and new rough finished plaster on wire lath was installed in the museum rooms.A 2'x T section of original brick nogging infill,and early lath and plaster was left in place and exposed as an exhibit on the west wall of the parlor;a similar section with a late 18th centu- ry wallpaper was left on the north wall of the Hall.It may be that other remnants of early plaster were covered over with the wire lath rather than completely removing the original.The window frames and leaded sash are all reproductions.The roof configuration,window placement,and front entry porch were derived from an 1819 drawing of the house (the drawing was conjectural as the house had been • altered some 70 years before). FINCH&ROSE Salem Historic Preservation Naintectc�ce Plan _ Page 2 Witch House 8/27/98 • A number of historic photographs exist in the Peabody-Essex Museum Library and published sources documenting the appearance of the building's exterior from the mid-19th through the early 20th century (Photos H-1 thru H-4),but no photographs were found that documented the 1945 restoration.No draw- ings from the 1945 restoration have not been located except a single sheet for the basement and founda- tion which was in a plan file in the basement of the building. The house has substantial national significance both for the architecture of its exposed 17th century frame,and for its association with the Salem witch trials and Judge Corwin s role in them. EXISTING CONDITIONS Site The house is situated on an unpaved, grassed comer lot with its front(south) facade set back about 30' from the Essex Street sidewalk, and its east side about 15' from Summer Street. There are shallow yards on the rear and and west sides(Photos 1,2,3,4).The yard is planted on all sides with large shrubs that are excessively close to the house,and sizeable trees that are a little further back(Photo5). Due to the heavy shade of the trees and shrubs,the grass in the front and side yard is rather thin,and most of the back yard is hard packed earth.A fenced enclosure in the west side yard screens the external condensers for the air conditioning system. Before 1945,the east side of the house was a few feet from the Summer Street sidewalk,and there was a rear ell attached to the house that also fronted on Summer Street. • Tourists approach the house at the front on a fieldstone paved path covered with a projecting awning, and exit from the rear over an asphalt paved path to Summer Street.A porta potty is located in the rear yard to provide a toilet for tourists accessed with a key obtained from the guide staff. There are no gutters on the house,with roof runnoff draining into the front yard and the rear yard directly off the roof.On the front side the drainage is thrown reasonably clear of the siding and architec- tural features by the framed overhangs of the 2nd and 3rd floors,and does not appear to be working back into the basement through the foundation(Photo 5).On the rear side the runnoff runs down over the siding and windows where it has been causing considerable deterioration(Photo 6),and also appears to be getting into the basement primarily through the bulkhead. The shrubs are not an appropriate historic landscape setting for the house and contribute to dampness around the base of the building.Most of them should be removed entirely,and any allowed to remain should be kept trimmed several feet back from the building. It is especially important to get them well away from the rear facade where the lack of sun aggravates the dampness problems.The trees are some- what less of a problem provided they are trimmed so that the leaves do not accumulate on the roof. The rear pitch of the leanto roof should be set up with a gutter to reduce problems at the windows and water getting into the basement.The least visually obtrusive gutter would be an old fashioned "V" shaped gutter fashioned out of two boards supported on brackets from the side wall,and possibly lined with soft copper or EPDM membrane.If possible,downspouts should go into a subsurface drainage sys- tem leading either to dry wells or the City storm drain system.If not they should end in splash blocks or long elbows that direct the flow away from the foundation.The gutters must have the leaves cleaned out of them on a regular basis to be functional • Salem Historic Preservation Maintenance Plan Paee 3 Witch House 8/27/98 • Recommendations: • Remove shrubbery from around the base of the building,especially the rear facade.*** • Keep trees trimmed so that leaves do not accumulate on the roof.*** • Add wood "V" shaped wood board gutters and downspouts to the rear facade of the build- ing;If possible route downspout flow directly to storm drains or dry wells.*** FoundationBasement The foundation is poured concrete including a full basement installed in 1945.The upper two feet of the basement walls are brick rather than concrete to accommodate the needle shores used to move the building. Detailing for the foundation is shown on a single basement drawing located in a plan file in the basement of the building. The basement has a problem of active leaking with water running towards the east wall from the north wall.Currently the water seems to be coming in through the bulkhead on the north wall(Photo 7),but there may be other points of seepage as well.There is a sump pump under the front entry porch that reportedly removes most of the water.A considerable amount of important Parks Department records as well as supplies and records for the museum are currently stored in the northwest corner of the base- ment(Photo 8).The active leaks and chronic high h„midib aa><oAhi& very poor location forlhe stor- age of paper records. Recommendations: • • Make basement bulkhead watertight to stop current leaking into basement.*** • Install gutter on rear leanto roof pitch per"Site" section recommendations above*** • Remove records from basement per"Curatorial" section recommendations below.*** Exterior walls/siding Wood'siding and trim The siding is wood clapboards installed as part of the 1945 restoration.The clap- boards are skived and lapped at their ends rather than butt jointed,and are nailed with reproduction rose head nails.Asphalt felt building paper has been used as an underlayment,which often causes paint adherence problems.In this case no such problems are apparent. Any replacement of clapboards should follow the installation details and exposure of the 1945 clapboards in all respects. The trim is flat pine stock other than the pendent drops at the overhangs. Only two problems were observed with the clapboards and flat trim: • A small section of clapboards at the first floor east facade were loose at the trim board that sepa- rates the leanto section(Photo 9). • A bee's nest exists within the clapboards at the front facade at the start of the 2nd floor overhang at the intersection to the entry porch (see plan for location) (Photo 10) . While no problems with the clapboards were noted in conjunction with deteriorated window sills on the rear and side facades,it is likely that concealed damage to sheathing and framing may be found below the windows when the sills are removed for replacement. Framed overhang The framed overhang at the 2nd floor above the parlor and hall includes portions of • original timbers that are exposedto the weather.These remain in acceptable condition,but staff should be aware that they are extremely important historically and very important to preserve as the currently Salem Historic Preservation maini=.snce Pian Page 4 Witch House 8/27/98 Sexist (there are very few similar examples in existence).The pendant drops and all the components of the 3rd floor overhang and the entry porch overhangs are 1945 reproduction material. Paint The entire exterior is in sound condition. Recommendations: • Renail loose clapboards at east side leanto/hall trim board after checking and repairing any concealed rot in the sheathing and framing" • Eliminate bees nest in clapboards at front facade overhang/porch junction.' • Anticipate some sheathing/framing damage in conjunction with rear/side window repairs.(P) Windows sash and doors The windows on the main portion of the building are reproduction leaded casement windows installed as part of the 1945 restoration.There are no storm windows or protective W filtering glazing associated with them.The operable portions include spring bronze weatherstripping around the perimeter of the frames and are all alarmed.They underwent a major repair project ca.1993.Prior to the installation of air conditioning they were operated fairly regularly for ventilation,but are now rarely opened. The lead cames and glazing were in good condition.Problems observed with the leaded casement win- dows were mostly minor: • only about 25% of the operable sash could be readily opened (as result we were unable to check the exterior condition of many of the upper floor frames and sills). • At the west facade first floor parlor window the comer of the sill was split and starting to rot (Photo 11). • a deteriorated comer at the operable west facade sash in the parlor chamber (Photo 12). • Moderately weathered wood at the interior sills due to condensation on the glass at about 25% of the windows. • Daylight was visible above the west facade attic sash,suggesting rain may blow in. The windows on the rear and side facades of the leanto are 6/6 and 9/6 single hung sash with wide wood muntins intended to reproduce mid 18th century windows.All except the two in the leanto attic are fitted with wood multi-paned storm windows. Five out of the seven first floor windows have severe deterioration problems at the base of the storm windows and their sills(Photos 13,14).In each case the wood is completely rotted behind the visually sound paint.In several cases mold is growing on the wood.The problem may start with water getting through the joint between the top of the storm windows and the window casing due to inadequate caulking,and then getting trapped on the sills between the storm window and the principal sash due to a lack of functioning weep holes. Without a gutter,the rear roof pitch dumps a great deal of water on the tops of the windows(Photo 15),and the shrubbery and trees close to the facade further retards the dry- ing out of the wood.Given the extent of the rot,damage may extend to internal sheathing and framing below the windows,and the bottom rail of the principal sash may also be affected. The 4 light wood casement sash in the leanto attic are rotted at their bases and require replacement with matching new sash. • Repair should include complete replacement of the rotted storm windows and window sills (where the storm window damage is limited to a bottom comer a dutchman repair may be an alternative to com- Salem Historic Preservation Maintenance Pian Pale 5 Witch House 8/27/98 • plete replacement) and any other affected components.A gutter and downspouts should be added to the rear pitch of the leanto roof,and shrubbery should be removed or cut back severely. No significant deterioration was observed at the exterior doors,but the rear bulkhead appears to be a primary source of water leaking into the basement. Recommendations: • Repair sill comer at west facade parlor window with epoxy consolidation.*** • Repair sash comer at west facade parlor chamber window with epoxy consolidation.•** • Check west facade attic sash for leaking at top.** • Repair/replace 5 rotted storm sash and sills as noted on plan at leanto (anticipate deteriora- tion may be more extensive than described at some windows).*** • Replace east and west facade leanto attic sash with matching new ones.*** . Roof The roof was completely reconstructed in the 1945 restoration and clad with wood shakes.The current roofing is wood-shakes that were installed within the last 10-15 years and remain in serviceable condi- tion with a few minor defects such as a few random narrow shingles being missing,and the ridge board nailing getting loose(Photo 16).Chimney flashings are lead.There was no evidence of current flashing leaks in the attic,but one piece of counterflashing was observed to be askew.The shakes are laid with closed valleys at the gables,so the valley flashing was not visible for inspection.There was minimal evi- dence of past leakage at the valleys in the attic.Ice damming is not reported to be a problem,probably • because the building is only heated to about 55 during the winter.There are currently no gutters for this roof,and drainage off the rear leanto pitch is a significant factor in the current deterioration of the rear facade windows and water getting into the basement.As described in the "Site" section above,the installation of a gutter and downspouts at the rear pitch is strongly recommended. The original roof shingles on this building would likely have been split and hand shaved shingles closer in appearance to our modem sawn shingles than the thick butted shakes that have been used since 1945. The valleys would have been finished as woven valleys rather than the neatly executed closed valley currently used.The current wood shingle roof on the Ward House at the Peabody-Essex Museum is an example of a shingle roof with woven valleys.When the roof is next redone,the question of whether to maintain the 1945 roof treatment or to change to more historically accurate wood shingles with woven valleys should be considered as a curatorial/interpretation decision. The roof framing is all modern with no apparent problems.The roof framing removed in 1945 was the gambrel roof thought to have been installed ca. 1746.The principal rafters from the gambrel roof were thoughtfully left in place by the 1945 work to leave a physical record of the previous roof(Photo 17). These should continue to be left in place to maintain that record for future historians.There are also sev- eral distinct piles of various framing components and 18th century doors in both the primary and lean- to attics(Photo 18).Unfortunately these are not labeled as to their previous location.They still are a valuable record of the previous appearance of the building and should be retained and preserved within the building(and not in the basement). Recommendations: • Install a gutter and downspouts along the entire rear leanto pitch as described in the "Site" • section above.*** Chimneys The single chimney is largely original from the base of the first floor to about the roof line.The large arch in the basement dates to the 1945 restoration.The top above the roofline was rebuilt in 1945 using Salem Historic Preservation prainienance Plan Page o Witch House 8/27/98 old bricks (whether from the old chimney or from another building is not known) to match the appear- ance of the chimney in 19th century photographs.The flues were firmly blocked at each fireplace with plywood and insulation,so we could not determine if the flues were lined in 1945 or otherwise reworked.Dampers were installed in each flue at the attic level where they are operated by levers on the outside of the chimney. It is assumed that the top of the chimney is not capped. The bricks above the roofline are very rough and weathered,and the mortar joints appear to have been raked back when it was rebuilt to make the chimney appear old,but the chimney masonry appears to remain sound above the roof(Photo 19). Below the roof numerous old defects are apparent including cracks in several of the fireboxes and in the buttress next to the attic stairs (Photo 20) .As long as the fireplaces are not actively used these defects are not a problem and should be left as is to preserve the early masonry undisturbed.The fireplaces should not be used for fires. There are also several deeply spalled brick just below the roof.These could be individually removed and replaced where the spalling is deeper than a full inch. Leaving the chim- ney open to the weather at the top and blocking the flues at the fireboxes may be creating a situation where moisture becomes trapped at the top of the fireboxes and does not evaporate because of insuffi- cient air circulation within the chimney.This could cause excessive humidity in the house and gradually deteriorate the chimney masonry. Capping the top of the chimney could also generate problems regard- ing the ventilation of the flues.The condition of the flues should be monitored yearly for damage from excess moisture by temporarily removing the plywood blocking.If moisture problems become apparent revisions to the current treatment should be considered. The chimney and the fireboxes are constructed using very soft clay mortar. Any repairs to the old por- tions should only be done by specialist masons experienced in the use of clay mortars.Some early • marsh glass and clay parging has survived intact in the upper throat of the hall fireplace(Photo 21). Care should be exercised in moving the plywood blocking to not disturb this parging which should be preserved in place.Assuming that any repairs done in 1945 would have used a lime or cement mortar rather than matching the early clay mortar,substantial portions of brickwork in the four fireplaces appears to have survived intact. It is assumed that most of the wood and plaster components around the fireboxes date to the 1945 restoration. Recommendations: • Monitor condition of flues yearly for deterioration caused by dampness (P) • Preserve chimney and fireplace masonry as is.(P) • Do not use fireplaces for fires. (P) • Replace deeply spalled bricks in chimney just below roof. Interior Framing,Plan,Stairs, and Finishes The plan of the building as restored in 1945 remains intact today and consists of two principal period rooms plus the stairhall on each floor functioning as period museum rooms,with the rear leanto rooms on the first floor being administrative/caretaker space,and the basement,leanto attic,and third floor attic being unfinished with the 20th century finishes exposed. The visible components of the original 17th century framing remain intact and exposed within the four principal rooms of the first and second floors(Photo 22).Framing in the basement,entry hall,and attics is mostly modern.Based on visible exterior walls in the leanto and the attic,it appears that the historical wall sheathing and studs were generally left in place with supplemental modern framing added where needed.1945 repairs carried out to the visible original framing and flooring have been done as dutch- man insertions generally matching the surfaces on the original components but visible to the discerning eye (Photos 23,24).Unfortunately there is no clear documentation of the extent of these repairs or the physical evidence(if any)that was used as a basis for the design of restored or reconstructed elements. Salem Historic Preservation Rh a;rdeaznce Plan _ Page 7 - Witch House 8/27/98 • Flooring in the museum space is wide pine, much of which appears to be either original or possibly reused 18th century salvage flooring,with some obvious dutchman repairs and some newer boards pieced in.The first floor is laid on a modern subfloor over modern framing from 1945.The second floor is a single thickness of early flooring over the original floor joists.The current finish on the floors is simply worn bare wood without any finish.The previous finish on the floors was apparently a dark varnish,perhaps from the 1945 work,that now only remains around the edges where there is less traf- fic (Photo 25).The bare finish is more historically appropriate,but protection from excessive wear from the very heavy foot traffic is a concern.Where the public is allowed full access to the first floor hall and parlor the use of neutral toned carpet runners should be considered to define the principal paths.On the second floor traffic is wisely limited to the entry area of the room,which again could be protected with a pad of neutral carpeting.As the stair hall flooring is modem,wear is much less of a concern (the eventual replacement of the wood flooring will not be removing original historic flooring). Flooring in the leanto is entirely modern material including modern linoleum that is in serviceable condition. Wall finishes in the museum space are primarily modern plaster over wire lath with a surface finish to simulate old plaster,and are in good condition.Some large fragments of 18th century lath and plaster, some with early wallpaper and paint remains,have been left in place in the leanto attic(Photo 26,27). These should be retained in place and preserved rather than removed in the event the leanto attic is cleaned up for better storage or other uses. No signs of substantial structural distress were observed in the exposed framing, flooring,and wall plaster.The loading capacity and deflection of the second floor parlor chamber and hall chamber are well below modem standards,and it therefore makes sense to limit access to these rooms as currently done. • Most of the finish woodwork and interior doors including the vertical paneling on the fireplace walls is modem reproduction work using old wood.The detailing of the paneling and doors is based on the parlor chamber door to the attic stair which is original 17th century material(Photo 28).It is extremely important to preserve both this door and the trim and balusters of the front stair (which are also origi- nal) (Photo 29)without any damage or change.It is also important not to alter or "improve' the exist- ing finishes on these members or any of the original exposed framing (Photo 30) without the direct involvement of a professional architectural conservator experienced with 17th century woodwork. Recommendations: • Continue to preserve existing early framing and woodwork as is. (P) • Consider using neutral toned carpet strips where there is heavy public traffic over early flooring." Lighting The lighting is reasonably modern and serviceable for the usage. Bathroom The single bathroom is serviceable for the current staff usage.The use of an exterior porta potty for visitor usage is not a good long term solution to this issue.Future planning should consider converting one of the leanto spaces to a visitor toilet,and finishing a portion of the basement to pro- vide adequate,convenient,and dry storage for store stock and other supplies complete with an ade- quate stair. Recommendations: • Consider installing an interior visitor's bathroom and finishing a portion of the basement with an access stair for store stock and supplies.(P) Salem Historic Preservation Maintenance Pian Page 8 Witch House 8/27/98 • Services Heating is by hot air from a gas fired furnace located in the basement.Warm air is supplied only to the first floor via floor grills.The ductwork is recent,but the furnace appears to be over twenty years old but still serviceable.Replacement with a new high efficiency unit would probably have a short payback. There is a recently installed air conditioning system that provides cool air via fan coil units in the attic distributing cool air to grills in the second floor museum room ceilings.The system is set up to provide reasonable comfort to the occupants during the three seasons the building is open,and to maintain about 50-55 degrees during the winter when the building is closed.It appears adequate for this pur- pose.There is no monitoring of temperature and humidity relative to the conservation of the furnish- ings,and there are no controls on the climate control system relative to humidity.Most likely the air con- ditioning somewhat lowers the extremes of summertime humidity,and maintaining a relatively low winter temperature reduces extreme dryness in the winter that could be very damaging to the collection material.It would be good curatorial practice to regularly monitor temperature and humidity on both the first and second floors with simple computerized data loggers that cost about$100 each(or with manual high low digital recordings that cost about$25 each).Following a monitoring period of at least a full year,adjustments and/or changes to the current system could be designed and implemented if needed to reduce the impact of thermal/moisture changes on the collections. There is some ca. 1945 heating ducts in the leanto that are no longer used that have an insualtion cover- ing that should be examined by a professional hazardous materials consultant and disposed of as directed by the comnsultant(Photo 27).There is also a nearly full box of the insualtion material in lean- to. • The electrical system appears to be adequate for the current usage. Recommendations: • Replace furnace with high efficiency model." • Monitor temperature and humidity in museum spaces for a full year minimum,and consid- er changes to system to even out humidity changes based on results of monitoring and cura- torial needs. (P) , • Retain a professional hazardous materials consultant to inspect insulation materials on duct- work in the leanto attic and dispose of as directied by the consultant.(P) Universal Access Both the front and rear entries are about 15" above grade,and are not accessible by current standards. On the interior,the leanto floor is about 4" above the height of the parlor floor,and a permanent ramp (that is steeper than 1:12)is in place to ease the transition for visitors.Interior doors typically only have about 28" of clearance(the parlor/leanto door is less)which is inadequate for many wheelchairs. Given the height and width problems at the parlor/leanto door,the only potential access location is the main front door.By regrading the current front entry path to a 1:20 slope,starting at the Essex Street sidewalk,an acceptable ramp without railings could be constructed and integrated into the landscaping without major negative impacts on the historic architecture.Once in the building, it would be necessary to widen the hall and parlor doors to provide adequate clearance for access to these rooms.The finishes that would be affected are all 1945 reproduction material,but more study would be needed to make sure that hidden original framing would not be impacted.Given the small size of the building,access to the • second floor via an elevator and the provision of an accessible toilet do not seem practical,and a vari- ance should be sought with programmatic access via a video display as appropriate mitigation.It is rec- ommended that a professional access consultant be retained to further evaluate access feasibility and develop plans relative to applicable codes. Salem Historic Preservation Maintenance Plan Page 9 Witch House 8/27/98 • Recommendations: • Retain a professional access consultant to further evaluate access feasibility and develop plans relative to applicable codes. (P) Curatorial Issues The museum house is is well kept up and organized to run smoothly for the large volume of visitors that go through on a daily basis.Tours are based on a script and focus on the role of the building and its owner in the witchcraft trials.The furnishings and accessories on display include a substantial number of 17th and early 18th century pieces.There did not appear to be an inventory of the furnishings on the premises,nor was there a card file with back up information for tour guides to answer specific questions about the furnishings.Having scholarly information available about the pieces is important both in terms of providing information to interested visitors,and to have a good understanding of both histori- cal and monetary value for proper curatorial treatment. For instance,many of the furniture pieces could be either of English or American origin,and may be all original or made up to look good from various old components.An all original American piece might be worth$50,000—$100,000 while a similar appearing made up or English piece might be worth$2,000— $5000.The genuine American piece should be located where it is completely out of the reach of visitors and environmental hazards,while the made up piece could be located within an area of free circulation. Basic housekeeping is very good in terms of dust and dirt,but falls short on some current curatorial • practices.There are a number of brass items that are kept very well polished. Frequent polishing actual- ly removes metal from the object and also leaves polish residue in the crevices that can be harmful over a long period (Photo 31).Preferred practice is to polish it to the desired level,clean it to remove any residual materials,and apply a reversible corrosion inhibiting lacquer coating such as "Incralac" that will preserve the polished appearance for a number of years.When the liquor begins to deteriorate,it is removed with acetone and reapplied following cleaning. The windows lack any permanent ultra-violet screening to cut down on the light that gradually fades and degrades all museum objects.Tabbed curtains have recently been added to the windows,which helps cut down on the W light to the extent they are kept drawn.Currently,the middle sash is left exposed all the time.The curtains should be fully drawn whenever the museum is not open.Some sensi- tive textiles have been moved to be out of the direct path of window light,but control of W light remains a curatorial issue. Control of extremes in temperature and humidity is also a curatorial concern to avoid damage to collec- tion items as well as the historic building materials. Monitoring is a first step that was discussed under the "Services" section. As a first step in improving curatorial practices, the museum should retain an objects conservator to inventory and evaluate the objects on display,and to recommend appropriate curatorial treatments and procedures.A number of useful publications are available to guide general house keeping in museums from both the English and the American National Trusts, and from Sotheby's Auction House. The basement is currently being used to store a wide range of objects including old plans and records that came from the former Parks and Recreation Department Office.These included irreplaceable con- struction drawings from various Parks improvements starting with the 1890's up through the 30's and 40's,and a number of historically important early photographs of different parks facilities.The drawings were well organized within flat plan files located several feet above the floor,but the general dampness of the basement will be extremely harmful to these records if left for any length of time.Some of the Salem Historic Preservation Maintenance Plan _ Page 10 Witch House 8/27/98 • other records were placed in plastic bags to protect them from the damp basement floor.In the long run the plastic will hold the moisture in and encourage mold growth. These materials should be removed from the basement as soon as possible and placed in storage in a dry even temperatured location(i.e., not in an attic).They should also be inventoried so records can be readily retrieved if needed.This prob- lem is not unique to the Park Department,as the City Hall basement also had an extensive area of hap- hazardly stored building drawings and records.In the long run the City should set up an City Archives office to retain, organize and preserve older City records.

Tremblay Director of Public Property Inspector of Building Zoning Enforcement Officer November 16 , 1995 Lawrence McIntire City of Salem Park & Recreation Salem, Mass . 01970 RE : 310 Essex Street , Witch House Dear Larry: Per request of some of your staff members located at the above mentioned property, I conducted an inspection of the premises . The concern of the staff was a safety issue concerning whether or not the balloon frame construction of the second floor level would be adequate enough to allow additional visitors to occupy space in the bedrooms if the rod iron rails where to be removed. It is of the opinion of this inspector that this would be a severe mistake seeing the framing was designed and installed to carry regular bedroom traffic back in the sixteen hundreds , and would not carry the additional weight of the extra people that removing of the rod iron rails would allow. If this office can be of any further assistance in this matter, please do not hesitate to call . Sincerely, Leo E .

Telephone Rev, 10/08 6. The City of Salem elected to make the Judge Corwin House (know popularly as the Witch House) accessible within the constraints of budgeting and phasing. Phase 1 was to make accessible the pathway to the main entrance door. This work was completed last fall, with a new walk and site grading. Phase 2 involves making the main entrance accessible. Work includes a new door with 18"to the side along with space for wheelchair maneuvering. The other part of this phase was to widen all doorways and cased openings to 32" clear in areas accessed by the public on the first floor. Phase 3 will seek to make the existing bathroom and office area accessible. This work has not been scheduled at this time and is not part of BGA's current work. 9.0 The City of Salem on its own initiative desired to make the Witch House as accessible as possible within limits of their funding sources without compromising the historic structure. Phase 1: the replacement of the existing walk and regarding of the site with a 1:20 walkway up to the existing door. (See photos# 8-10) Phase 2 involves reconfiguration of the entry with a new door all of which will be compliant with AAB regulations. This phase also included widening of the first floor existing door openings to 32" clear. There is an existing corridor which opens into what is known as the parlor with a change in level of 6.5" +/- between the floor levels. This change in level is handled by an existing non conforming ramp approximately 3' in length x the width of the door. (see photo # 1 &photo# 3) The corridor noted above has a floor hatchway which provides access to the basement. This corridor connects the gift shop, the staff office, a bathroom (non compliant) and what is known as the Parlor. Compounding the problem is a structural historic beam(original beam) located at the door(to the ramp) going into the parlor. According to the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Treatment of Historic Properties, "distinctive materials, features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a property will be preserved,therefore it is imperative that this irreplaceable material be preserved." We would like to widen the opening of the corridor to the parlor to 32" clear and extend the non conforming ramp 18"to the side of the door and seek relief on this matter. There is no space to provide for the level platform, ramp and handrails without totally destroying the buildings 335 year history and its ability to handle visitors. Given the above, compliance is technologically unfeasible. 0.KSB Ral ar'Aa a S/7E � a+evLR �ir+ncllL'I�'.w 7xa9 a.w rs6 or ran � � � W tJ}t J' AgplN sl sTavE Posr CN UNC t $I palp ail' e$ E 8 t n QETA/L LOCUS MAP ..• .. 1•- 'Mu.
