METHODOLOGY STATEMENT
SALEM SURVEY UPDATE PROJECT
Project Objectives
The purposes of the Salem Survey and Planning Project were to provide professional expertise to
conduct a comprehensive survey and update the inventory of historic resources within two local
historic districts: the Derby Street Historic District and the McIntire Historic District. Goals of the
survey project were:
1 . To conduct a comprehensive survey of the cultural resources within the Derby
Street Historic District and the McIntire Historic District using Massachusetts
Historical Commission (MHC) survey methodology and inventory forms;
2. To apply National Register criteria to all resources identified in the survey and not
already listed in the National Register of Historic Places;
3. To submit to MHC a list of individual properties and/or districts that are
recommended for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places.
Survey Procedures
The survey considered the full range of cultural resources in terms of property type, architectural
form and style representative of all periods of historical development from first European colonial
presence to c. 1945. The geographic areas surveyed were the entire area identified as the Derby
Street Historic District and selected portions of the McIntire Historic District. Both representative
and outstanding examples of building forms, types and styles were included. Areas, buildings,
objects, sites, burial grounds, structures and parks/landscapes, architecturally and historically
significant in the history and development of the City of Salem were identified and related to the
historic patterns of land use, economic development, social and demographic history and events of
the community. MHC's Reconnaissance Survey Town Report: Salem, the Final Reports of each
Local Historic District Study Committee and the nomination forms to the National Register of
Historic Places for the associated National Register Historic District for each local historic district
provided the preliminary framework for analysis of the resources. The survey forms relate
inventoried properties to significant themes in the historical development of Salem.
Criteria for selection is discussed below in the section entitled Survey Organization.
Existing Documentation
Inventory forms for the City of Salem have were reviewed at the Planning Office of the City
of Salem. Only 2 of the 425 properties in the McIntire Historic District had not been previously
inventoried. A small number of twentieth century properties were not covered by individual
Building Form B's, but were included in Streetscape Form G's. Information included on the latter
forms principally consisted of a list of addresses with building dates derived from city directories
plus limited architectural descriptions and/or statements of historical significance copied from the
appropriate section of the various Salem Historic District Study Committee Reports. This material
gathered with a focus on the entire area provided only brief information on specific properties
highlighting outstanding or characteristic architectural features and typically related ownership only
when an known association exited with a prominent individual.
2
Of the 425 properties included in McIntire Historic District, 30 percent of the existing Form B's
date from the late 1960's, 68 percent date between 1974 and 1980. Three forms are not dated.
Two properties are vacant lots. Forms dating from the 1960's concentrate on the southern part of
the district: Summer Street, lower Broad Street, upper Flint Street, Chestnut Street, Hamilton
Street, Boots Court, Cambridge Street, Warren Street below Flint Street and North Pine Street.
Forms dating from the 1970's focus on the northern part of the district: Federal Street, River
Street, Lynn Street, Beckford Street, Monroe Street, Upper Flint Street, Essex Street below Flint
Street, South Pine Street, Warren Street above Flint Street and Upper Broad Street. Forms dating
from the 1960's generally quote directly from the Salem Historic District Study Reports which may
include a minimal amount of architectural and/or historical information. Most often inventory forms
dating from the 1970's cite only diminished information quoted directly from the Salem Historic
District Study Reports. On occasion, minimal supplementary data on ownership derived from
various atlases or directories is added. On a number of forms lie. 149 Federal Street-194 Federal
Street) completed in 1978 by Historic Salem Inc., title research and reference to local directories or
atlases have resolved some questions raised in the Local Historic District Study Report. On these
forms (which allowed no space for architectural descriptions), additional text regarding architectural
characteristics has been added on the first page in the area set aside for a sketch map.
Few if any of the forms located at the Salem Planning Department entirely meet current MHC
standards. Based on an intensive analysis and accounting of 50 properties in the McIntire Historic
District, 70 percent are likely to have inadequate photographic documentation in that they entirely
lack a photograph or have only a proof sheet-sized, black and white photo or photocopy of a
photograph attached. Seventy-four percent either have no sketch map or one that does not
comply with MHC requirements. Less than 1 percent have adequate historical information and
20 percent provide no historical data. Thirty percent present architectural and historical
information, but in both cases insufficient to meet current standards. Twenty-one percent entirely
lack either an architectural or historical statement and existing accounts are incomplete.
For the 130 properties in McIntire Historic District, supplementary research completed by Historic
Salem Inc. exists. Only 10 of these additional reports are available at the Planning Office of the
City of Salem. These investigations may originate with maps entitled Part of Salem in 1700 and
Mao of Salem About 1780, then provide title information documented to Book and Page of the
Essex County Registry of Deeds and supplemented by material derived from Salem directories.
Architectural descriptions are not often added. Properties in McIntire Historic District are also in
the National Register of Historic Places as part of the enlarged Chestnut Street Historic District,
first listed in 1973 and expanded in 1978.
All but 5 of the 96 properties in the Derby Street Historic District have been documented in
some fashion. Of the existing MHC Form B's, 3 date to 1967, 66 date to 1973, 4 date to 1977 or
1978 and 6 date to the 1980's. The majority (55) of these forms provide little information with
the entirety likely limited to the front page. Only two of these Form B's have acceptable maps.
Twenty properties in the Derby Historic District have attached additional research by Historic
Salem Inc. The reports on only 3 properties are available at the Planning Department. The form for
2 Blaney Street (not extant) includes detailed architectural and historical information. The other
two forms have only historical data. Properties in the Derby Street Historic District are included in
the National Register of Historic Places as part of the Derby Waterfront Historic District listed
in 1976.
3
The City of Salem has been active in nominating districts and individual properties to the National
Register of Historic Places. Fourteen NR districts including 919 properties have been denoted.
Twenty-nine properties are individually listed in the National Register; 7 of these have also been
designated National Historic Landmarks.
Survey Organization
Both the Salem Planning Department and the Massachusetts Historical Commission have prepared
lists of the properties included in each of these local historic districts. Based on the preference and
recommendation of both the Salem Planning Department and the Local Historic District Commission
each of the properties in the Derby Street Historic District, including the few not considered
historic, will be inventoried on individual Form B's. The only exceptions will be property owned by
the National Park Service. Changes to NPS holdings are not reviewed by the Salem Local Historic
District Commission.
To select the approximately seventy properties from the McIntire Historic District to be included in
this survey project, several analysis of the area were undertaken. A windshield survey revealed no
particular section of the district obviously to be in transition or in more pertinent need of enhanced
documentation. Examination of the zoning map shows the district excluded to residential use with
a small section of multi-family residential property allowed on North Street between Federal and
Essex Streets. Properties currently for sale were plotted on the working map which was also color
coded to represent the time frames in which existing inventory forms had been completed. It is the
feeling of the Salem Planning department that the oldest forms are the most inadequate and should
be replaced first and that properties along district boundaries should also be given preference in the
current project.
Members of the Salem Local Historic District Commission suggested priority be given to upper
Federal and adjacent streets where recent review activity seemed to be concentrated. Examination
of applications for certificates of appropriateness filed within the last three years failed to confirm
such a focus, but several properties on upper Federal Street were on the market.
It was suggested by the local project co-ordinator that areas where the three criteria converged
could be selected. These standards identified Upper Federal Street, Fowler Street, North Pine
Street, Flint Street above Essex Street, Summer Street and lower Broad Street to be
given preference. Several properties between 403 and 421 Essex Street are included in under-
documented streetscape forms and are border properties. These twentieth-century properties were
also included in the project. Various combinations of these prioritized sections of the district
allowed designation of seventy-three properties to be inventoried from the McIntire Local
Historic District.
Completed survey forms include a photograph, sketch map, descriptive data on material, style and
setting, statements of architectural and historical significance and a bibliography of references.
National Register criteria were be applied to all properties with eligibility statements prepared for
those assessed to meet NR standards.
All phases of the survey followed MHC "Guidelines for the Identification of Historic and
Archaeological Resources in Massachusetts." Phase I consisted of a review of existing
documentation, collection of bibliographic sources and initiation of a windshield survey to identify
priority areas for the inventory. In each phase of the project, meetings were held with the local
project co-ordinator. Various types of properties were selected for the sample forms required in
4
Phase II of the project. Consultations with MHC staff helped determine appropriate documentation
techniques for the types of holdings that exist in Salem.
The Salem Historical Commission has recorded local historical properties and the boundaries of
National Register and Local Historic Districts on assessors' maps. Both the McIntire Historic
District and the Derby Street Historic District span several maps. Water bodies, cemeteries, the
shape of most buildings and outbuildings are denoted as are lot sizes, lot numbers, inventory
numbers, street names and addresses. For this project, several assessors maps were pieced
together so that each entire district could be shown on one working map. Outbuildings of
individual properties not represented on the reformatted assessors' maps will be shown on sketch
maps prepared for individual survey forms. All inventoried properties are plotted on the base map
identified by existing assigned inventory numbers which will be correspondingly included in an
index of historic resources. The latter consists of all inventoried properties alphabetically arranged
by street, and includes inventory number, historic name,if applicable, and address.
It was determined by staff of the Massachusetts Historical Commission and the local project co-
ordinator that an Area Form A would not be developed for the Derby Street Historic District. As a
result, no accommodation was made in the in the number of forms in the McIntire Historic District
to be inventoried in this project.
Documentary Sources
The attached bibliography identifies the principal documentary sources used in the survey. General
sources and local histories will provide the background on historical, economic, architectural and
social circumstances. The reader should note that ethnic names, especially those of Polish and
other Eastern European origin, are regularly misspelled in local period directories. The names
recorded on the forms are written as listed in the documents to allow future researchers to
recognized the same notations without confusion in utilizing the same sources. Irregularities are so
prevalent, that no attention was called to these errors by notation in the text. In addition,
Kosciuszko is consistently misspelled Kosciusko on city maps and street signs. For consistency,
this local variation was used on survey forms.
Survey Documentation
Salem's outstanding architecture has received substantial attention and written documentation.
Less detailed material is available on the more modest Derby Street area. What material exists
again focuses on outstanding rather than vernacular structures. Far fewer properties in the Derby
Street Historic District have enjoyed the intensive deed research described above typically
undertaken by Historic Salem Inc.
Salem has fortunately experienced considerable cartographical representation to help document
these vernacular structures. Several series of Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps exist. One Bird's Eye
view is available for the year 1883. Other resources include studies of properties in the district
included in the Salem Historic District Study Committee reports. Local directories are available
before the mid-nineteenth century for the years 1836 and 1842 and regularly after 1850. A six
volume set of vital records have been published for Salem.
Historical maps of Salem in conjunction with local title research efforts by Historic Salem Inc.
recording chain of ownership combined with genealogical and biographical information available in
local histories was be the principal sources for the historical significance statements of
5
specific properties. Resources did not allow for verification of deed research, but inconsistencies
with maps and visual inspections was noted.
Visual and architectural documentation for each property was prepared based on photographs, field
assessments and notations including an architectural description check list.
Survey Results
Seventy-three properties were inventoried in the McIntire Historic District and all eighty-one
properties were inventoried in the Derby Historic District on individual inventory forms. All were
buildings except for one object, the Choate Monument (Essex Street and Highland Avenue; Form
No. 910) in the McIntire Historic District. National register criteria were applied to all resources
included in the inventory.
Recommendations for Nominations to the National Register of Historic Places
Areas
The properties selected for inclusion in this project from the McIntire Local Historic District were
not necessarily contiguous organized into groups or streetscapes that could be considered areas
(see Survey Organization). Of the properties studied that were not already listed in the National
Register as part of the enlarged Chestnut Street Historic District, those on upper Federal Street
1150-152 Federal Street through 194 Federal Street on the north side and 169-185 Federal Street
on the south side), however, do comprise a cohesive grouping. (See list attached).
Within that area, all the properties excluding 185-187 Federal Street and the section as a whole
meet the criteria cited to expand the Chestnut Street district in 1978 as "significant for its scale,
architecture, archeological potential, associations and relationship to the existing historic district.
This area has changed little since the early 19th c.....Architecturally, the houses are less imposing
and more informal than the more prominent high style examples in the existing district of which
they are contemporaries. These are the houses of Salem's artisans, craftsmen, and small
merchants, many of whom played important roles in Salem's history....While the moneyed and
influential residents of Chestnut, Essex and [lower] Federal Streets were directing and charting the
affairs and economy of the city and nation, the residents of this area were the workers and
tradesmen who serviced the others and performed less glamorous tasks." Similarly, upper Federal
Street is "an excellently preserved, cohesive streetscape. There are no gaps; the newer
construction was accomplished in character and scale consistent with existing stock." Within the
span of address cited, there would be no intrusions.
In terms of architecture, the properties on upper Federal Street accordingly are "more modest
examples of the higher-styled Georgian, Federal, and Greek Revival properties found elsewhere in
the district." Analogous in setting, "The...area is characterized by small house lots and consequent
high density. Open space is limited to small yards to the rear of houses."
In addition, Upper Federal Street includes several high style properties, ie. 170, 171, and 177-
179 Federal Street, the last attributed to Samuel McIntire, which characterize the other portions of
the National Register district.
6
Individual Properties
All the buildings in the Derby Waterfront Historic District are in the National Register as well as the
Local Historic District. Several properties are also included in the House of Seven Gables Historic
District (NR, 1973) The House of Seven Gables itself is individually listed in the National Register
(1973) and is also designated a Massachusetts Historic Landmark. ,
At least three, other properties in the Derby Waterfront Historic District could be listed
individually in the National Register. Saint Joseph's Hall, 158-162 Derby Street; The
Benjamin W. Crowninshield House/Brookhouse Home for Aged Women, 180 Derby and the
Richard Derby House, 27 Herbert Street (see National Register Criteria Statement Forms attached).
Recommendations for Further Study
All properties in the Derby Historic District were included in the survey. Among resources in the
McIntire Historic District that were not part of this survey, priority should be given to the remaining
areas of the local historic district which are outside the boundaries of the National Register
historic district. Of particular interest are: Orne Square, Hathorne Street and Place, upper Warren
Street, lower Flint Street, and Harrington Court.
