Fifty-two feet high, containing four stories and over 25,000 square feet of floor area; it is visible from most of downtown Salem. .The Elevator Works was built in 1915 immediately following Salem's great fire of the preceding year. A brick exterior was required by the Salem Reconstruction Commission of all new buildings in its area to prevent recurrence of the disaster. For this reason, the building resembles mill structures of the turn of the century, but several unique features distinguish it: from the group. The Elevator Works' geometry is a.reaction to the trapezoidal, 15,000 square foot site on which it stands. Originally constructed with an irregular hexagonal floor plan, it was added by a full height, ,four sided structure in the early 1920's. This addition shares similar obtuse angles in its plan and enclosed lavatory facilities, a supplementary stair, and a shaftway in which an elevator was fitted and manufactured by an early tenant. The entry elevation diagonally separates the Lafayette and New Derby Street elevations which border the city line and oppose Salem's historic mainstream: the harbor and the rehabilitated downtown district, consecutively. ..Fenestration is an obvious component of the Elevator Works uniqueness. In area, approximately 50% of the north, east, and partial. south elevations is opening. All of - the over 100 openings have above them self-supporting segmental arches which repeat rythmically. With the exception of the addition facades, the archways are unusually wide (7'-6" to 15'-0") . All windows share the same floor to sill and sill to head heights. Arch rise is small (.1'0" maximum) particularly where no lintels were used. Two iron pintles flank each side of the south windows and were used to support shutters. The exterior is structurally expressive, Surfaces were erected in priorities of structural significance by segragating bearing and non-bearing areas. Pilasters and bearing walls exist in one plane while non-bearing areas were .recessed relative to their thickness and weight. Said priorities provide positive vertical contrast and shadow. Where structural expression' would have otherwise left uniterrupted expanses of running brick, decorative masonary and concrete castings were used. Cement rubbed, "white" brick was used at the cornice as a decorative margin above the fourth floor windows at the north, entry, east, and partial south elevations. Said white brick corbels out to one surface from non-bearing areas; stretchers, rowlocks, and shiners were arranged in points at the pilaster tops. Common brick squares contrast the white sur- face at roof supports. Stack bonded stretchers and rowlock courses border the north, northeast, east and partial south elevations. Concrete castings provide endpoints and corners corresponding with these designs and the white brickwork. Concrete diamond shapes, centered below the second floor windows are separated by a rowlock course at each bay.

Flynn & Co. — Bldr, N-. M llasmn F, Vi 1 1 i am TJ rr,�b;, - - STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE The Elevator Works building is significant not only for its unique architectural features, but also as a physical representation of the socio—economic and industrial climate prevalent during the time of its construction and years thereafter. It presently serves Salem and its visitors as a reminder of a bygone era when early technological progress and low labor costs spurred small industry expansion. The Elevator Works was built in 1915 immediately after the great fire which devastated the area a year prior. Aroline C.. Cove had it built as a manufacturing facility for grow— ing Salem businesses. It was not designed to be owner occupied but to be rented to a variety of small industrial tenants. Its success as an investment was totally dependent on the prosperity. of local industry. . Aroline C. Cove, the original owner of the Elevator Works building from 1904 to 1942 was well known for her success, generosity and confidence in new innovations and productivi— ty.- The daughter of Lydia E. Pinkham, Mrs. Cove helped her family accummulate their for- tune in marketing her mother's proprietary medicine for women's ailments: Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. In 1935 she built her home in Marblehead, Massachusetts, commonly known as "Carcassonne" for $500,000. For her gesture of courage and sincere. goodwill, she was congratulated by President Franklin Roosevelt. Similarly, Aroline C. Cove,provided a source of general employment to greater Salem in erecting the Elevator Works. Without modern equipment, the building created almost. two years of labor-intensive construction due to its large size, pile foundation and masonry detail Once built, the building operated at maximum occupancy of 500 employees until it was vacated in 1972. Employee population was very high for .the building's size because work was conducted in a side by side- seating arrangement at continuous assembly tables. During Hytron's and METCOM's tenancy, 80% of those employed were women for reasons of low labor costs, Vartime manpower availability, and willingness to perform small, light, electronic assemly work. In addition to low cost labor, the Elevator Works shows the availability of inexpensive energy resources. No insulation was provided in the walls or windows. An old system of high pressure steam piping was used to heat the building. The chimney, which extends 24 feet above the roof, exhausted the coal fired boilers. Industry trends are evident in the Elevator Works tenant history. The early tenants were regionally successful companies having 19th century roots. With the advent of elec- tronics, the early tenants consolidated into national concerns or relocated as they were displaced by relatively large sophisticated electronic manufacturers. At the same time, the building was acquired by the tenants and operated exclusively on an owner-occupied basis. sw - (continued) r«�na°loaom UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR FOR NPS USE ONLY NATIONALPARK SERVICE R£CIVEO NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES INT-VENTORY-- NOMINATION FORM NOMINATION ENTERED CONTINUATION SHIEBi- ITEM NUMBER 7, 8 PAGE 1 7. DESCRIPTION (continued) The site of a 19th century cargo wharf, the Elevator Works stands on piles at the mouth of the South River. ' ,Pile caps and bents are visible from the exterior. Although engineered, the interior structure is hybrid. Floor and roof support is provided by H-columns and S-shape beams - a feature contemporary for its time. 10'x15" wood beams span between the steel and support the 312", three-ply wood decking - a practice . similar to earlier mill buildings. As a whole, the structural capacity meets or exceeds modern codes for use. Beam connection plates at the west end indicate the inherent design consideration to expand the original building. This conclusion is supported by the presence of the only non-bearing, minimum thickness, exterior wall and a lack of decorative brick work At this facade. The original steel grid projection windows have been removed. Due to inherent design problems, it was necessary to remove four east elevation arches. Current improve- ments include said removals, masonry and concrete restoration and future interior renovation. With few exceptions, the Elevator Works remains intact as it has been always. 8.

Salem Elevator Works developed the traction elevator and cork lined brake shoes. All wood and metal components were made in building. .Salem Elevators were widely used throughout the region. Business sold_ to McLaughlin Elevator in 1947. 8. Hytron Radio & Electronics . 1927-1958 Radio and vacuum tube manufacturer, founded and (HYTRON) operated by the Coffin Brothers; acquired by Columbia7Broadcasting System in 1951. Metal base, television picture and defense related electronic tubes were developed and manufactured by HYTRON. Originally 3rd floor tenants, this company expanded to buy and exclusively occupy . entire building and other properties in Salem area. 9. Microwave Electronic 1959-1972 Manufactured microwave and vacuum tubes until Tube Company (METCOM; it moved to Gloucester, Mass. Company owned Omni-wave Corp.) and occupied building while doing .business in Salem. Location and construction are major factors in the Elevator Works original and current significance. In 1915, its site (formerly a South River wharf) in the old commercial dis- trict offered adjacent commercial establishments, housing, trolley, train'and harbor access. Within a city block all of these readily provided labor and raw materials for manpower and resource-intensive industry use. Due to the property's location and size it was necessary that a four story building provide the 25,000 square feet of floor area. This design inherently divided tenant spaces .on a floor by floor basis. Contributing to its impressive size, each story had headroom clearance for the old belt-drive industrial machinery which resulted in a building 52 feet in height -- tall enough for 5 stories by current standards.

Many of the advantages that the property thrived on are gone. The harbor no longer serves the industries' shipping needs; the trolley tracks have long been buried; and, working standards have changed. Because trucking has replaced rail services, high volume accessibility is impractical for its downtown location. Until 1973, industry continued at the Elevator Works, but its practical use as a manu— facturing facility had been surpassed years prior. Nevertheless, the building had survived usefully for over fifty years. in spite of unprecedented progress in industrial technology and production. For these reasons, the Elevator Works remains an anachronism in Salem's revitalized downtown area.

We have spent years in designing and improving our machines until today we feel that we have the latest, most serviceable, as well as the simplest machine on the market. Our electric machines are noted for their very few moving parts, and j our belt machines are simple, strong and reliable. - I I i? �I I�_ I r if Our cars, both the steel as well as the wood type are exceptionally ii strong and well built, and our gates we think the strongest and heaviest it on the market to-day. ifi We install both passenger and freight elevators for direct or alter- nating current,furnishing our DirectConnected Electric Drum or traction j type for passenger work, and our Direct Connected Electric Drum, Trac- tion or Chain Driven as well as the regular Belt Type for freight work: i We can take care of anything that might be required for an elevator. i! Our Direct Connected Electric elevators are for hand cable,car switch �I or full automatic push-button control, and we use the best controller made Ii for any of these methods. 1 i if On the following pages you will find cuts and descriptions of the differ- , i ii ent machines, and we would call your especial attention to their simple, +i ij heavy and rugged construction. We underrate rather than overrate them, as we feel it is better to give our customers an elevator that is stronger i ii than required, rather than one that is only built large or strong enough � to take the load called for. if li i Ii ii 1 1 ii N i II 1 i. i u I t i Y' i} I ,i II r it ii !! w _r1 a yip .t�•� !' p 'yi � yy qq �� 5 �t � � �} ��i iyPP �.•�"a� � �, Z .6 'gym' ! . r �j IMPROVED ELECTRIC TRACTION ELEVATOR MACHINE i! it ! --- ---- - ---- it ii II ii HIS is our latest t ' ype Direct Coupled Elec- i tric Drum Elevator machine,and is built for II It capacities up to 10,000 lbs.; and for both direct and alternating current. It can be used for either ' freight or passenger work, according to the size of drum and gearing used, and for car speeds ii from 45 to 100 ft. per minute for freight work, and for passenger service up to 300 ft.per minute. As is the case with our traction type ele- vator, it can be used with hand cable, car switch or full automatic push-button control; and owing i to the few moving parts, and the simple and I „ efficient safety attachments, makes a very satis- f factory elevator, quiet in operation, and very ii powerful. In general design it is similar to our Tractionit - t r machine, being equipped with our new electric g ri brake, oil-tight worm gear housing, ball thrust bearings, etc. It is also provided with our im- proved electric machine terminal switch whichit ' E1, does away with all moving levers and small cast- it ings, so that there is nothing on it to constantly s break as is the case with many machines using a mechanical terminal stop. The machine is equipped with an electric slack cable safety,device, which has also enabled ii us to do_away with-a number of light castings 1� tI� which are easily broken,and these features make 1 h our electric machine as nearly fool proof as it is I g possible to construct.it. i i , tr _M lk P: In a F NT, ) f� SyyA 1 MISS, , .� ff 1 ,P rim.

This machine is often used in mills and factories, where it is desired to get an elevator at low cost, as it comes quite a little cheaper than either the Direct Connected Electric ii Drum or Traction machines. I The floor type machine is made in capaci- ties up to 16,000 lbs., and for speeds of 20 to 40 ii ft. per minute. Other than the method of con I necting it to the motor, it is similar to our Direct �) ii l h i h hi d t Connecemachine, having the same electric - - q �I �i features,'also ball bearing end thrust, etc. The ceiling type machine when used for i, electric chain drive work is built for capacities i1 up to 5,000 lbs. and has the same general specifi- cations as the ceiling type belt elevator with the cs �� exception of the motor connection. ;I i •i :c i it it it iI N IT 11 'r I fr �SRa - h I 1 it JI it 1! 1 6 r yp q7 ,6 40 a}�7 IT—, � �4n ti ! i$ r q k- "( • .

CEILING TYPE BELT DRIVEN MACHINE - - it if i i t 11 I� �I 1 -�j UR Ceiling Type Elevator is made in capaci- ties of 1,000 to 5,000 lbs.,and is used much in factories and mills where it is desired to run from their own shaft, or where electric power is not available,and where floor space is so valuable , that it is not convenient to have it placed on the floor. Itis a very reliable and satisfactory elevator in every way, and one that we have been using I withreat success for over thirty Y Years. This � i machine, which has recently been greatly im- proved, is now made with oil-tight gear housing 1 1 as in our floor machines, and is also fitted with our improved spring brake,which is very power- . 1 ful and will hold the car and load under all con- ditions of service. 1 _ !i li I!

This �j also applies to the Electric Drum type, and the �. Electric Chain Driven Machine, although when necessary any of them can be arranged for place- ment on any of the floors. However, owing to the characteristics of the traction elevator, it is always preferable to place this machine overhead when it is possible to do so. Even with the Direct Connected and Chain �I Driven elevators, it is more satisfactory and eco- nomical to arrange them overhead, for when so located the efficiency is much greater, owing to the absence of leading sheaves; and as the cables run straight down to the car a number of.bends i are eliminated and the life:of the cables is much.

We make this machine for capacities of 1,000 to 10,000 lbs., for both alternating and direct I current. �! This machine is heavy and strong, the traction sheave has a large shaft of the best machinery steel, the worm and worm shaft is �) made from a solid steel forging. The worm gear ') is of the best composition bronze metal;and both worm and gear run in an oil-tight housing. The worm gear is accurately hobbed by special ma- chinery to fit the gear, and is forced on to the drum and securely bolted to the same. The worm and shaft are made from a solid steel forging so there is no danger of the worm getting loose on the shaft as.is the case where the worm is keyed to the worm shaft. The end thrust is taken up by means of our self-aligning ball bear- ings. Our improved electric brake has been i thoroughly perfected and is one of the most relia- ble on the market for either direct or alternating w current. It is noiseless in operation and when �! used on alternating current has none of the objectionable hum that most brakes 'of this type have, especially of the solenoid type. These machines can be used in practically any place where it is possible to use an electric machine; are extremely smooth in their opera- tion, and very economical in use of electric cur- rent, it being possible to lift a much greater load I with the same size motor than with any.other type of elevator. 11 !I ! i � ! 7 �q4: it Siy _ 1 s y"* 4 � C � 1 . rz;,v, .+� �.ur_'..n, k _:.-, +x,62. .�.+€ 4 n ..-ss✓' " ` STANDARD STEEL FRAME FREIGHT ELEVATOR CAR j 1 iI �, I If - j I ' i li THIS shows our Standard Steel Frame Freight If Elevator Car. It is very strongly con- structed; with steel channel sling and side sills. {i The floor is made of the best quality rock maple, i tongued and grooved, laid on heavy hard pine (� cross stringers. All joints are strongly riveted and bolted; 1 i; the whole car is rigidly braced, and fitted with � our patent double grip safety device, which will iipositively hold it under full load in case the cables break. f Cars on all traction elevators are provided with our improved Governor safety which will stop and hold it under all conditions, should the (� speed increase beyond a specified point.. I� 1' We can furnish these cars constructed en- if tirely of steel, including the flooring when speci- fied; and where it is desired to install one very 's ;I economically, provided the State Laws do not t' Ii prohibit it, we can furnish them built with the wood frame and sling instead of steel. I if t ,iii Gates, Hatch Doors, Etc. ' if W N ADDITION to the elevators described on the previous pages, we i manufacture and install automatic folding hatches and gates, as i; well as locking and stopping devices, both on new jobs and on Ii elevators which are already in operation. 1i Our hatches are all manufactured of the best quality hard pine and it are tinned on the underside, which requirement is made by the insurance if companies throughout the country. Our gates are very strongly made and are securely braced with ironif �I straps. We manufacture both the regular bar gate and also the slatted , gate, and this latter type, where required, is made either two-fold or three- if fold, which makes them adapted for buildings where the stories are low. All our elevators operated by hand cable control, are fitted with ij if locking and stopping devices which will stop the elevator flush with the Iilanding, and hold it securely in place during the loading and unloading of 'if i the car. These locks are furnished in different styles so that they are If suitable for elevators running in open well shafts or elevators having fold- u ing hatch doors, and on the well type elevator. Ii Our service department is very complete and up-to-date. We always 'i have first-class repair men on hand so that we are able to take care of all repair work without. delay.. We have recently started an inspection service for the benefit of our j customers and are in a position to take over the inspection and care of our elevators. We consider this service very important. It is a great benefit i to our customers to have regular inspection by our mechanics, as this enables them to keep their elevators in good repair at all times. It often means the prevention of a large repair job if the trouble is discovered �f ifbefore an accident happens. if if I 4 if if It . if We would call your attention to our line of elevator lubricants, wire if rope and elevator supplies which we specialize in. I Our worm gear compound is prepared exclusively for us and is, we �} If think, the very best article on the market to-day for the lubrication of 11 elevator worm gears. This is put up in 1, 2, 5 and 10-gallon cans, which II �i makes it very convenient to handle, and enables our customers to buy it . II in any quantity desired. If We also furnish a special cable,cup and bearing and guide rail grease, ?I put up in the 5, 10 and 25-1b. cans. We can make prompt shipment of any I, { ,f ii of the above. i II { I! We can make immediate shipment of wire rope of any size, both in II iron or special flexible steel, from our large stock, at moderate prices. 11 i Ij I li I 1 �I II � I If f� u^lrac '4*9" .YMrt.F m a u� ws,A+,nv ',(U MMI � • .. �� J J ITa lr/QWJL aL..iCJa RY►.' ..

Historical significance (include explanation of themes checked above) Built in 1915, a year after a great fire which destroyed a large part of Salem's industrial area, this four-story brick industrial-mill building was designed by local architects and constructed by a Salem general contracting firm. One of the architects, H. M. Haven, also took part in the design of the original Salem Hospital Buildings. Although built in 1915, the arched fenestration and materials lend to the Elevator Works' appearance of a late 19th century industrial structure. The building also contains internal features which support this statement, for example there are 3" thick wooden floors and a predominance of wood mill beams. Unlike many industrial buildings of this time, attention was given to exterior decor such as the raised concrete diamonds and decorative white brickwork just below the roofline. Built-on the former path of the South River channel, the building is supported by piles. Its location at the corner of New Derby and Lafayette Street has traditionally served as a busy linkage between Salem's waterfront and downtown. Since it was built, the Elevator Works building has housed a number of manufacturing businesses which have provided employment for Salemites. Notable among these are the Salem Elevator Works, which originated as a local blacksmith/cast iron shop, and the Hytron Radio & Electronic Corporation which eventually owned the building and expanded to other locations. The Elevator Works building serves as one of the few reminders of Salem's bygone industrial era, and the various tenants of the building reflect,through the years, the industrial progress of the nation. 10.
