MBTA Repair/Rehabilitation of the Beverly Draw Bridge
The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA), in cooperation with the Federal Transit
Administration, is proposing to repair/rehabilitate the Beverly draw Bridge. As part of the review of the
project, PAL conducted an historic and archaeological resource assessment. The MBTA would like to
Commission's concurrence that the project will have no adverse effect on any historic resources. Holly
Palmgren, MBTA, and Adie Kim, consultant, were present.
)
Documents & Exhibits
• Request for Letter of Concurrence
• PAL Assessment
Mr. Hart stated that he was a principal of the architecture firm McGinley Hart in 1980s, which had contracts
with the MBTA for bridge evaluations, but was not involved in this evaluation.
7,
Ms. Palmgren summarized that the project is FTA funded and they are responsible for complying with the
Section 106 Process. The project is partially in Salem and partially in Beverly. In the 1980s the bridge was
surveyed and determined not eligible for listing on the National Register. The survey recently completed by
PAL still found the bridge to not be eligible for the National Register. There was one potentially eligible
historic resource within the APE, but it is not within the construction area. The MBTA is looking for a
concurrence from the local historic commission on PAL's findings that 1)the bridge is still not eligible for ..
listing on the National Register of Historic Places and 2)that there is no negative impact from the project on t
the potentially eligible historic resource located within the APE. They will then send this information to
MHC as part of the Section 106 Review process.
Ms. Harper asked if the bridge was going to be the same design,just with new materials.
Ms. Kim responded in the affirmative. She clarified that only the approach trestle is located in Salem and the
swing span and pivot pier is in Beverly. In 1985, there was a fire and the wooden trestles were rebuilt with
concrete. Most of the work involves the substructures that are in contact with the sea water: rip rap
replacement, piers, and pile repairs. Of the 179 piles approximately 109 piles are being repaired. Some of t
those piles are located in Salem. {
There was no public comment. i
r
VOTE: Ms Bellin made a motion to provide a letter concurring with the determination of PAL. Mr.
Garner seconded the motion. All were in favor, and the motion so carried.
Salem Probate and Family Court Renovation/Addition
In accordance with Stipulation 6 of the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between DCAM and MHC,
DCAM submitted a 60% design drawing package to the Commission, as an interested party under the MOA.
6;
�M
The package includes site plans, exterior elevations and a site plan details. Thee elevations are the same as
were presented to members of the Commission at a previous meeting. '
Documents & Exhibits
■ 60% Design Drawings
■ Renderings
Mr. Hart stated that the applicant showed some aerial renderings and it would be helpful to see street view
renderings of the aerial on page A2-04 of the drawings.
Ms. Herbert stated that at the 1/28/14 DCAM meeting she attended they said they proposed moving some of
the decorative woodwork from the 2"d floor to the new areas, and she felt that the original antique woodwork
should stay in place and be replicated for the new areas rather than reinstalled in those new areas.
Additionally, six trees were planned to be installed in the front of the building, and because of their
proximity to the adjacent parking spaces she hoped that the trees would not be damaged and fail. Lastly, they
are doing work to screen the mechanicals on the roof. That was an issue of concern with the new court house.
A comment to DCAM may be that they would like to see the mechanicals as screened as possible.
VOTE: Ms. Benin made a motion to approve the draft letter with comments. Mr. Garner seconded the
motion. All were in favor, and the motion so carried.
z
Salem Common Fence
The City of Salem requested a letter of support from the Commission for their grant application to the
Massachusetts Historical Commission to complete a second phase of restoration to the cast iron fence.
Ms. Lovett submitted a draft letter to the Commission members to review.
VOTE: Ms. Bellin made a motion to approve the letter ofsupport. Mr. Garner seconded the motion. All
were in favor, and the motion so carried.

Correspondence
Ms. Lovett reminded the Commission of the joint FERC and EFSB public hearing for the Salem Lateral
Pipeline project. The pipeline will run through a portion of the Derby Street Local Historic District. She
encouraged one or more of the members to attend the meeting.
k
Ms. Herbert spoke with the Commission members about general meeting policies and procedures, and
opened discussion for Commission members to discuss any issues or concerns they might have. l
Ms. Harper gave a report on an upcoming application to the Commission to remove, restore, and reinstall the
eagle on top of the Hamilton Hall roof.
Ms. Bellin asked if there was still an opportunity for a site visit to the Turbine Hall at the Powerplant site.
Ms. Herbert asked that Ms. Lovett coordinate the site visit.

Documents &Exhibits
• Application: 3/3/14
• Photographs: 3/19/14
• Drawings: 9/2/13
Ms. McCrea arrived at this time.
Ms. Herbert asked if all of the architectural details and dentils would be wooden to match the house.
Ms. Firth responded in the affirmative.
Ms. Harper asked for the specifications on the windows.
Ms. Firth responded that the windows will be custom made. They can match them to the SHC requirements.
Ms. Herbert stated because the solarium is minimally visible from the public way, insulated glass would be
acceptable. The window spacers should be bronze and the windows should be wood. Given that the house is
Victorian, they do not need to have all of the panes on the windows. It was common for Victorian era
windows to be 2/2. That may be an option for the solarium. No panes on the windows would also be
appropriate.
E
Mr. Hart agreed with the options provided by Ms. Herbert and added that he also supported the design as
presented.
There was no public comment.
MOTION: Mr. Hart made a motion to accept as submitted with the proviso that if the applicant wishes to
make changes to the window panes they will come back before the Commission for approval. Ms. Bellin
seconded the motion.
Mr. Hart stated that he is not clear on the materials for the foundation.
Ms. Firth responded that it will be red brick to match the house.
VOTE: Mr. Hart amended his previous motion to include that the foundation will be red brick. Ms. Bellin
seconded the motion. 411 were in favor, and the motion so carried.
l
Ms. Turiel arrived at this time.
}
110 Derby

and Theodora Sobin were present.
Documents & Exhibits
• Application: 2/24/14
• Photographs:
Ms. McCrea asked the applicant had a style that they favored.
Mr. Sobin responded that they would prefer to have some light, so style 2, with the fan window, is their first
choice.
Mr. Hart preferred style 3, with horizontal lights.
Ms. Harper preferred style 1, if there was glass at the top.
Ms. Herbert noted that the applicant could purchase a 6-panel door (style 1) and have a carpenter cut out the
top two panels and install glass. The Commission recently granted approval for a similar door at 91-93
Federal Street.
Ms. Lovett left to retrieve the 91-93 Federal Street certificate from the file.
There was no public comment.
VOTE: Mr. Hart made a motion to accept the application or Style 1 with the proviso that the door may be
either solid wood or the top panels replaced with glass. The door will be painted to match the existing door.
Ms. Turiel seconded the motion. All were in favor, and the motion so carried.
2-4 Gifford Court
Donna Yates submitted an application for a Certificate of Appropriateness to replace the front doors along

Ms. Herbert replied that it would be acceptable.
Ms. Herbert asked if they would also be replacing the storm doors.
t
Ms. Yates responded in the affirmative.
VOTE: Ms. Mccrea made a motion to accept the application as submitted. Ms. Turiel seconded the motion.
All were in favor, and the motion so carried.
The Commission then discussed the application for a Certificate of Non-Applicability for in-kind repairs and
replacement of the side deck and stairs.
Ms. Lovett left to retrieve a picture of the deck from the file.
Ms. Herbert asked if the deck will be rebuilt in kind and if the lower door was being replaced.
Ms. Yates responded that the deck will be rebuilt in kind. They would like to replace the door in the future,
but not at this time. She stated that she would also like to reinstall the lattice underneath the stairs.
Ms. Bellin stated that given that the application did not include the lattice, she does not believe that the
lattice can be approved for this meeting.
There was no public comment.
Ms. Lovett stated that lattice cannot be on the next agenda. It will need a notice to abutters.
VOTE: Mr. Hart made a motion to approve the porch rebuild for the existing design with the pro vino that
the rail height meets building code and that the details for the lattice be submitted to the Commission in a
future application. Ms. Bellin seconded the motion. All were in favor, and the motion so carried.

Doors: Toile red or black
There was no public comment.

for the doors. Ms. Turiel seconded the motion. All were in favor, and the motion so carried.
1 Beach Ave
John and Maureen Hentosh submitted an application for a Waiver of the Demolition Delay Ordinance to
demolish the structure and foundation. The house was extensively damaged by a fire. A letter from the Salem
Building Inspector, Tom St. Pierre, is included in the application stating that he believes the home is beyond
reasonable repair. The new house would be built on the existing homes footprint. Brendan Larkin and q,
Gerald Casaletto were present.
Documents & Exhibits '
• Application: 3/12/14
• Photographs: 3/12/14
Mr. Larkin and Mr. Casaletto, builders of the new home,present the application to the Commission on the
owners' behalf. Mr. Casaletto stated that the new house will be built on the same footprint, however the
foundation will be replaced. The fire took place in the basement, so there is extensive structural damage. The
new house will not have as large of a porch along the water side. f
Ms. Herbert encouraged the applicants to salvage as much of the Victorian architectural details as possible to
reuse on the new building.
FS
Ms. Herbert summarized that the Commission's jurisdiction for an application to waive the demolition delay
ordinance outside of local historic districts is whether or not the existing building is historically significant
and whether or not the structure can be restored. In this case, with extreme fire damage, there is not much
historic fabric left to be saved.
Mr. Hart stated that while the building inspector's letter stated that the house is beyond reasonable repair,
technically the house can be saved but it would take a lot of money.
Mr. Casaletto responded that if the house were to be repaired, it would end up looking a lot like the new
house because they would have to rebuild nearly everything. Restoration would require the house be lifted,
the foundation replaced, and the structure reinforced.
Ms. Herbert opened the application for public comment. zK
Councilor Sargent spoke in favor of the waiver being granted.
VOTE: Ms. Turiel made a motion to approve the application for a Waiver of the Demolition Delay
Ordinance. Ms. McCrea seconded the motion. All were in favor, and the motion so carried.
Community Preservation Act Projects—Requests for Letter of Support
Ms. McCrea distributed to the Commission a spreadsheet showing the project applications coming before the
Community Preservation Committee (CPC). The CPC has approximately$400,000 dollars to distribute. She
feels as though it will be a challenge for the Historical Commission to prioritize the projects.
Ms. Herbert stated that a vote for a letter of support does not necessarily mean that the Commission is stating
they are priority projects, only that they have looked at the project, and it is a historic resource for the City.
The Commission discussed the different projects and the criteria for the projects being determined eligible.
Nancy Tracy was present and stated that she hoped the commission will support the Library's application to
the CPC.
VOTE: Ms. Bellin made a motion to approve the letter of support. Ms. Turiel seconded the motion. All
were in favor, and the motion so carried
a
Section 106 Review- Lateral Pipeline Project
Ms. Lovett stated that PAL will be conducting the Section 106 Review for the Salem Lateral Pipeline
project. They sent the Commission a letter requesting initial comments on the project as well as to establish a
line of communication with the SHC.
Mr. Hart stated that he attended the public hearing recently held regarding the project. He would suggest that
the Commission structure its letter to defer to the MHC, given that they will be involved in the Section 106
process. It is too early to tell if the pipeline will or will not adversely affect the historic buildings.
Ms. Herbert stated that at the public hearing there was a third option discussed for a sea route. It was
eliminated due to cost, but she feels the option should be delineated so that the public can understand why it
is prohibitive.
Councilor Sargent stated that from the meeting it seemed they would prefer hydraulic drilling across Collins
Cove and then come onto land at Beatty Park.
Mr. Hart suggested that the letter could also recommend that a project conservator to appointed to the
project. This person would study the adverse effects of the project on archaeological resources and historic 3
properties and work with the project engineers to ensure that any adverse effects are mitigated.

SALEM HISTORICAL COMMISSION
MINUTES
April 16, 2014
A meeting of the Salem Historical Commission was held on Wednesday, April 16, 2014 at 7:00 pm at 120
Washington Street, Salem, MA. Present were Jessica Herbert (Chair), Laurie Bellin, David Hart, Susan
Keenan, and Joanne McCrea.
13 Washington Square/132 Essex Street
The Peabody Essex Museum submitted an application for a Certificate of Appropriateness to replace and
repair missing and deteriorated brownstone on the Phillips Library. Where possible the existing brownstone
will be restored. In areas where the brownstone is missing or severely damaged, the applicant is proposing to
use cast stone, colored to match brownstone. Robert Monk was present.
Documents & Exhibits
• Application: 3/20/14
■ Photographs: 3/20/14
• Drawings: 2/3/14
Mr. Hart disclosed that he has a contract with Peabody Essex Museum, but it does not impact this work.
Mr. Monk showed the Commission members a sample of the cast stone. There is currently some cast stone
on the building, installed in the 1990s.
Ms. Herbert asked if they would be repairing brownstone that is delaminating.
Mr. Monk responded in the affirmative. They would use glue or Dutchmen where possible. They estimate
that approximately 30% of the brownstone will be replaced. They will remove a good sample of brownstone
and create a mold from it. The removed pieces of brownstone will be archived.
There was no public comment.
VOTE: Mr. Hart made a motion to approve the application as submitted. Ms. Bellin seconded the motion.
All were in favor, and the motion so carried
242 Lafayette Street
Lucien LaBonte submitted an application for a Certificate of Appropriateness to replace the existing 3-tab
roof with architectural shingles. The manufacturer for the shingles is Timberline. Lucien LaBonte was
present.
Documents & Exhibits
■ Application: 3/3/14
• Photographs: 3/3/14
Ms. Herbert read a letter of support from Councilor Josh Turiel, 238 Lafayette Street. €
Mr. LaBonte stated that he included in his application a list of properties located within the historic districts
that have architectural shingles. He would like to use shingles similar to that at 88 Federal Street.
Ms. Herbert stated that the majority of properties on the list were not approved for architectural shingles and
are therefore in violation. She noted that for this property the gable end faces the street, so there is only one
portion of the roof that is very visible.
Mr. Hart stated that architectural shingles are limited in the guidelines to unusual circumstances. The reason
he does not like the architectural shingles is that the roof jumps out at you visually. Slateline is a good option
for 3-tab shingles.
Ms. Herbert recalled that 24 Warren Street was approved for architectural shingles.
Ms. Lovett left the room to pull the file for 24 Warren Street.
Ms. Herbert stated that 24 Warren Street was a mansard roof and therefore the Commission had found that
the shingles could be appropriate. She asked the Commission members there opinion on the architectural
shingles.
Ms. Keenan and Ms. McCrea stated that they would not want to set a precedent for architectural shingles for
this style of house.
The public commenting period was opened.
Ken Leisey asked how much of the roof detail you would be able to see from the public way.
The public commenting period was closed.
Ms. Bellin stated that there are some types of architectural shingles that have more of a 3-dimensional look.
Some types of architectural shingles have been approved for some types of houses.
Ms. Herbert stated that they could approve a 3-tab shingle now and then continue discussion of the
architectural shingles to the next meeting in order to allow time to do more research. She stressed that the
Commission needs to be careful in approving a new type of roof than they have approved in the past. .
VOTE: Mr. Hart made a motion to approve a 3-tab shingle roof in dark gray. Ms. Bellin seconded the
motion. All were in favor, and the motion so carried
VOTE: Ms. McCrea made a motion to continue discussion of the architectural shingles to the next
meeting. Mr. Hart seconded the motion. All were in favor, and the motion so carried
28 Beckford Street
Richard and Jane Stauffer submitted an application for a Certificate of Appropriateness to relocate a
downspout to the front of the house. The downspout currently runs along the side.

the next meeting.
McIntire Arch Restoration
Mark Meche, Winter Street Architects, presented an update of the McIntire Arch restoration to the
Commission on behalf of the Salem Common Neighborhood Association. Peter LaChappelle was also
present.
The SCNA is approximately'/4 through their fundraising effort. They have removed the carvings and are 1
currently storing them. They are now determining whether or not it is preferable to restore and reinstall the
carvings or cast them and archive the originals. He discussed the current conditions of the various carvings:
Portrait of Washington: mixed condition
Alunette panel: severe deterioration but can be restored
Festoons: good condition
Scrolls: one is missing, one is OK condition
Mr. Meche also discussed the different iterations of the arch details (original full size arch, 1976, and
current). He asked the Commission their thoughts about which version should be replicated. The general
consensus was that they should replicate the 1976 version in order to be true to the artist that created the
replica. He stated that they will be submitting an application to the Commission covering this next phase of
repair and restoration work.
92-96 Lafayette Street- Request for Letter of Support

10
4
Potential Effect(APE), however the response states that there are not historic resources within the"project
area." He questioned whether there is a difference between the APE and project area.
Ms. Herbert agreed with Mr. Hart. She pointed out that while there are not historic resources along the
roadway, there are several adjacent houses that could be impacted by vibrations. Generally, it is a very
industrial area.
VOTE: Ms. Bellin made a motion to submit a letter including the comments previously stated. Ms. Keenan
seconded the motion. All were in favor, and the motion so carried.

Ms. Bellin recused herselffrom the discussion and vote, due to her employment with the MA Department of
Public Utilities, and moved to the audience.
Ms. Herbert pointed out the response to comments section of the materials. The Commission had previously
asked for the reasons that the sea route was not plausible. From the report, it seems as though the route was
eliminated primarily due to the effect of marine habitats.
Mr. Hart stated that the Commission has expressed its concern regarding adverse effects that could occur
from vibrations several times, he sees no need to restate that concern.
Ms. Herbert stated that their letter could include that the affected historic structures are to be determined by
MHC.
