NIS o�� � � o.� s J J Qrl i I CITY OF SALEM, MASSACHUSETTS PLANNING DEPARTMENT GERARD Y.AVANAUGH `r ONE SALEM GREEN - CITY PLANNER p� 01970 (517)744-4580 �cums.ad ` Proposed National Register Propertied and Districts - June, 1986* Prepared by Debra Hilbert, Preservation Planner Individual Properties Cabot Farm, Orne St. Gothic Cottage, 260 Lafayette St. Greenlawn Cemetery, North Salem Harmony Grove Cemetery, North Salem St. Nicholas Russian Orthodox Church, 64 Forrester St. Districts Buffum St. District - This district is a result of the North Salem survey. Buffum is one of the most .cohesive streets in the neighborhood and shows the evolution of North Salem from its agricultural origins (see Jonathan Buffum House, 25-27 Buffum St.) to its surburban subdivision. This street displays a whole range of 19th and early 20th:.century architectural styles from Federal to Colonial Revival. Fairfield St. District- The Fire of 1914 destroyed large parts of South Salem from the downtown to Holly and Leach Sts. In the rush to replace lost housing, speculative development occurred wihtout much thought to planning or amenities. Fairfield St. , in contrast, reflects the sense of -a planned urban development and has a number of large scale, architect designed Colonial Revival residences. Salem Willows District - These boundaries were drawn based on a windshield ~ survey. The area developed in the late 19th century as a summer resort and has a number of Carpenter Gothic cottages similar to Oak Bluffs at Martha's Vineyard although not quite as elaborate. The Willows may not have the density of historic resources to merit National Register status. South Salem District - This area survived the Fire of 1914. The dwellings on Lafayette St. are Salem's finest collection of Victorian residences. Those on the side streets are more modest but nicely detailed. Derby St. & Salem Common Areas - Salem has been investigating the possibility of a Neighborhood Conservation District for the Derby St. area. While some members of the Historical Commission support this option, others strongly favor the expansion of the Derby St. Local Historic District. A few neigh- borhood activists have expressed interest in a Neighborhood Conservation District but the neighborhood as a whole has not yet been approached. 1 The areas on the enclosed map marked 1 & 2 in green are not included in the Derby St. Local Historic District. This makes drawing Neighborhood Conservation District botmdaries difficult because the district would be split into three areas. It would seem more logical to include areas 1 & 2 in the Local Historic District, but then if the Neighborhood Conservation District were adopted for the large area north of Derby St. , if would make for a confusing political process. For this reason and the Historical Commission's lukewarm response to the Neighborhood Conservation District concept, the whole issue is being reconsidered. Regarding the National Register, there is some feeling among local preservationists that the existing Salem Common and Derby Waterfront NR:Mstricts should be expanded .to form -one -large district bounded roughly by Bridge St. , Webb St. , Salem Harbor, New Liberty St. , and St. Peter St. *This is not a conclusive list. There may be other properties and districts in Salem that are eligible for the National Register but not included here.

The National Register is an official national listing of. our country's finest cultural properties. Listing affords, the property with protection from demolition or alteration by anyFederally funded or liscensed project in that any such project ; must be reviewed for its impact on the National Register property. : . It also makes the property owner eligible for National Park Service, Grants-In-Aid for restoration and preservation of the site. There ars no restrictions on the property owner per set only on Blades' . projects.: 4 , The Oommiasion Believes that the Salem Willows .carcusel is a worthy ob ct for consideration for the National Register due to Its disttive features of constructions its artistic values and its relation to a d ett*o- period in American cultural history * Historic Salem# Inc.# a private preservation group in Salem.

Unfortunately I do not feel it would be appropriate to extend the boundaries of the nearby National Register district to include the property. According to National Register criteria, a property eligible for the Register should continue to evidence the features which existed during the period in which the building was significant. By comparing the existing exterior with the enclosed views of the Hacker School, I i observed that there has been considerable alteration of the building. A number of the openings have been filled in or altered, and it appears that later grading of the property has resulted in an extra story. Because of these changes, I do not feel that the boundaries can be extended. If you have any further questions on this matter, please feel free to get in contact with me.

To qualify, a building must "possess integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association" and have some special historical or architectural significance. Since your house has been moved or altered by the application of wood shingles and various window replacements, it does not meet the criteria. As a vernacular structure, it would have to have some very significant historical associations. I don' t think the possible Bentley School connection will overcome the fact that this house has lost its integrity of location and materials. It is actually the Historical Commission that makes official determinations of eligibility, so if you would like to pursue this further, please let me know and I will schedule you for a meeting.

The National Register is the official listing of buildings, districts, sites, structures, and objects that retain integrity and demonstrate some aspect of local, state, or national history. In Massachusetts, nominations to the National Register are based on comprehensive inventories of cultural resources . Inventories are generally compiled on a community-wide basis by local historical commissions . The inventory data allows us to make relative determinations of significance and to identify properties that may be eligible for nomination. As you know, the city of Salem is a Certified Local Government, and is responsible for conducting preliminary evaluations of National Register eligibility. To begin the process of having the significance of the Harmony Grove Cemetery evaluated you should complete the enclosed Certified Local Government National Register Eligibility Opinion for the cemetery to determine if it meets the National Register criteria, either on a individual basis or as. part of a district . You can then return your findings to this office for comment, being sure to include current photographs and any additional information which is not already documented on the enclosed inventory form. Historic and current maps of the cemetery would be helpful in understanding how the cemetery has, or has not, changed over the years . After MHC reviews these findings an application form will be sent to you. As I said on the telephone, the nomination could either be completed by the Salem Historical Commission, or as a joint venture with the Salem and Peabody Historical Commissions . To expedite the listing process, a preservation consultant could be hired to complete the application form. Massachusetts Historical Commission,Judith B.

Higgins Chairman Peabody Historical Commission 17 Page Street Peabody, MA 01960 Dear Chairman Higgins : I am finally responding to your letter of July 27, 1993 concerning nomination of the Harmony Grove cemetery to the National Register of Historic Places . Enclosed please find a copy of letter from the Massachusetts Historical Commission (MHC) responding to an inquiry regarding such a nomination. To begin the nomination process, a Certified Local Government (CLG) Determination of Eligibility Opinion would need to be completed and submitted to MHC along with a Burial Ground Survey Form, current photographs, historic and current maps, and an identification of the sections of the cemetery which contain old burials and those which contain recent burials (or whether the recent burials are mixed in with the older) . Keep in mind that an Eligibility Opinion should not be based on the significance of the persons buried in the cemetery but rather on the historic significance of the stones, landscape, design, structures, etc. Since the City of Salem has already completed a Form E for this cemetery (enclosed) , putting together the remainder of the Eligibility Opinion documentation shouldn' t be too difficult or time consuming. If the Peabody Historical Commission wishes to prepare the Statement of Significance on the enclosed CLG Opinion form, collect the burial information and locate maps, the Salem Historical Commission will be happy to take the necessary photographs and submit the package as a joint venture. Should MHC concur with the Eligibility Opinion and the Peabody Historical Commission desires to proceed with a nomination, the roll of the City of Salem would need to be further discussed. :j To proceed further, please feel free to contact the Clerk of the Commission, Jane Guy, at the Salem Planning Department. Thank you for your interest. Sincerely, THE SALEM HISTORICAL COMMISSION Richard Oedel Chairman m J Q W �StiT TS * j LU U N N CJ� s0 Lia to Q CP= 0 — ..

S - Thank you for your recent inquiry about the National Register of Historic Places program. The National Register is the official listing of buildings, districts, sites, structures, and objects that retain integrity and demonstrate some aspect of local, state, or national history. In Massachusetts, nominations to the National Register are based on comprehensive inventories of cultural resources . Inventories are generally compiled on a community-wide basis by local historical commissions . The inventory data allows us to make relative determinations of significance and to identify properties that may be eligible for nomination. As you know, the city of Salem is a Certified Local Government, and is responsible for conducting preliminary evaluations of National Register eligibility. To begin the process of having the significance of the Harmony Grove Cemetery evaluated you should complete the enclosed Certified Local Government National Register Eligibility Opinion for the cemetery to determine if it meets the National Register criteria, either on a individual basis or as part of a district. You can then return your findings to this office for comment, being sure to include current photographs and any additional information which is not already documented on the enclosed inventory form. Historic and current maps of the cemetery would be helpful in understanding how the cemetery has, or has not, changed over the years . After MHC reviews these findings an application form will be sent to you. As I said on the telephone, the nomination could either be completed by the Salem Historical Commission, or as a joint venture with the Salem and Peabody Historical Commissions . To expedite the listing process, a preservation consultant could be hired to complete the application form. Massachusetts Historical Commission,Judith B.

Much of the material needed for submission to the Massachusetts Historical Commission has been compiled but we require from you a Site Plan (see Pages 22 and 26 of the National Register Bulletin 41 enclosed) . I am also enclosing herewith a print copy of the 1840 state legislation to incorporate the proprietors of the cemetery. We will submit a certified copy to the State Historical Commission. Also, we would appreciate receiving print material concerning both the chapel and Civil War monument such as details of their construction, dedication I and identity of designer and architect. We have obtained a 1985 topographical map from the United States Geodedic Service and some earlier maps from the Massachusetts Archives. This is indeed a project of great importance and we certainly welcome and appreciate the support of the cemetery trustees. With every kind wish, I am Sincerely yours, RICHARD D. HIGGIN , C an"� cc.

Sincerely yours, RICHARD HIGGINS, C man 1 July 12 , 1993 Peabody Institute Library NOTES FROM MEETING OF THE DANVERS , PEABODY, AND SALEM HISTORIC COMMISSIONS Attendance: Richard Higgins, Chairman; Robert Quinn, Peabody; Frances Rigol, Peabody; Maria Resendiz, Peabody Community Development. Ideas and suggestions relative to the 200th Birthday Celebration of George Peabody: • Memorial Service for George Peabody at Harmony Grove Cemetery. This could include the use of a trolley, decorated with bunting, bringing people over to the Cemetery. • Contact the Congregational Church in Georgetown to try to coordinate a possible service. George Peabody built this church in honor of his Mother. • Coordinate a Fourth of July large and elaborate dinner. G. Peabody hosted these dinners every year. They were large and elaborate. It was a time when English nobility met American visitors, it became a "feature of the London season. " • Host a large dinner party. The Peabody Historical Society has a menu which was from Peabody' s era. At one of these large dinner celebrations (which was usually about 200 people ) , the guests received white gloves and a ring to ' for the night. It was unsure as to why they did it, but there was something significant about it. L: • Coordinate a some kind of housing trust fund in honor of George Peabody for his work to house homeless families. The Commission felt it was important to recognize George ' s work in preventing homelessness. • Create a newspaper series about George Peabody to make the public aware of his background and accomplishments. A written article or excerpt could be placed in the newspapers on a weekly or daily basis. • Coordinate a trolley ride which would travel to each Essex Institute place (such as the libraries in Peabody, Salem, and Danvers as well as the Essex Institute Museum in Salem) giving a historical reference and/or exhibit of G. Peabody and end at the Danvers Peabody Institute Library serving a dinner. _ The journey would entail stopping at each one of these places for an exhibition and refreshments, and then end at the Danvers Peabody Institute Library. i In addition to the above, the Commissioners also felt that the following places should be contacted to see if they were doing anything to commemorate Peabody' s Birthday. • Harvard and Yale Universities • Nashville, Tennessee • Baltimore, Maryland • Other southern cities Also, they felt that if something at Harmony Grove were to be done, then it may be worthwhile in pursuing National Register status for the cemetery, so that funding becomes necessary for needed fence repair. If given National Register status, then the Massachusetts Historical Commission may assist in creating a brochure, referencing the Cemetery' s historical significance including the Burial of George Peabody and other notable citizens. However, this would be a Salem effort because the property is predominately in Salem. . Enclosed is one-page biography on George Peabody. rr q F I[ p +it t � - I •• e - qi Y II v 4eo r �. i I � '``y'`f T�Itr.✓y, t����I+�vs"at3 i i ,� •• • - • • - /1• it 1 _ tt -- • • • uc - - • r N , ASSESS?EN'T OF ART WORK (describe materials used, designs, motifs, ss,mbols that are either common or unusual, ]mown can'ers) . Because of its mid-19th century origin, Harmony Grove Cemetery features a number of Victorian motifs. Many stones are shaped in the form of a Gothic arch or have round-arched tops. There are also several obelisks and some crypts. Some stones are elaborately carved with floral motifs or ferns. The motif of a cloth draped over on obelisk or an urn is also used and the cemetery has some carved angels. There is a Civil War Monument featuring a statue of a Union soldier. - HISTORIC4h SIG`IFIC4\CE (discuss religious affiliations, major period of use, importance within town) . Harmony Grove Cemetery, incorporated in 1840., is Salem's first burial ground established with the intent of creating a rural cemetery. (Although Greenlawm Cemetery is older, established in 1807, it was not developed as a rural cemetery until the 1880'x.) An interest in horticulture and the overcrowded condition of the City's burial grounds led the founders of this cemetery too search for a site removed from Salem's populatibn centers and noted for its. natural beauties. As early as 1837 a group of 15 persons became interested in this project. They formed a site selection committee which recommended the purchase of Harmony Grove. However, a nationwide economic depression in 1837, which led the banks of Boston and the vicinity to suspend specie payment, forged the postponement of.the project. The cause was revived In 1839 when Mayor Stephen Phillips became interested in the establishment of a rural Temetery, A meeting was held at the Lyceum on September 3, 1839 at which an agreement was presented to obtain subscriptions to back a loan for the purchase of Harmony Grove. W�lliam H. Foster, George. Wheatland and Edward H, Payson of Salem, and Fitch Poole _ of Danvers, were appointed to the Subscription Committee while Phillips, Foster, Joseph S. Cabot, Ephraim Emmerton, and William Sutton became Trustees to manage the funds raised. Thegroup purchased 14 acres from John G. Wilkins for $1,600, 2+ acres from Jacob Putnam for $450, 6 acres from Joshua Buxton for $1,170, and almost 7 acres from Joseph Buxton and Salomon Varney for $900. Some trading of land was undertaken and at the time of its consecration the cemetery was composed of about 35 acres (later expanded to 4-1 acres). Surveyor Alexander Wadsworth drew up a topographical plan and laid out walks and avenues. . . 60 INVENTORY FORM CONTINUATION SHEET Cormnunity: Form Ngo: MDSSACHUSETTS HISTORICAL CC�tJISSION Salem Office of the Secretary, Boston Property Natre: Harmony Grove Cemeter Indicate each item on inyentory form which is being ,continued below.

When founded, the cemetery was located in Danvers, ,but by antacta of the Legislature in 1840, the boundaries of the City of Salem were altered to include this property. A description of 1866 showed,that it possessed many.of the landscape features valued in a rural cemetery such as soil favorable to the growth of different trees and shrubs., picturesque views, and craggy rocks protruding from the sides of steep hills. Among the well-known North Shore residents buried here are the Reverend William Bentley (whose body was moved from the Howard St. Burying Ground) , and George Peabody, a successful merchant and philanthropist and the man after whom the City of Peabody is named. Other well-known families associated with the cemetery are the Crowninshields, the Silsbees, and the Derbys. a Staple to Inventory form at b—tom . e L ? � ;iii,• ! 1 �?4 ; 1 � 3.

Walsh Division Administrator Federal Highway Administration Transportation Systems Center 55 Broadway - IOtb floor Cambridge, MA r: Attn: Mr. H. Pearlman RE: Historic Movable Bridges, National Register evaluation Dear Mr. Walsh: The Massacbusetts Historical Commission staff has reviewed the historic bridges inventory forms prepared by the Massachusetts Department of Public Works for all forty-four movable bridges known to be under MDPW purview. Twenty-five of the forty-four bridges have not previously been reviewed by MHC. Fifteen others have previously been reviewed by MHC, and MDPW now recommends that these fifteen original determinations be reaffirmed. The last four bridges have previously been reviewed by MHC, and the MDPW now recommends that these four original determinations be changed. The MHC concurs with the MDPW preliminary findings on all forty-four bridges, as outlined below,. The fourteen following bridges, NOT previously reviewed by MHC, do not appear to be eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places: Barnstable 8-1-3 Bridge St./Osterville Harbor Boston/Chelsea B-16-19/C-9-5 Meridian St./Chelsea River Boston/Milton B-16-22/M-25-1 Granity Ave./Neponset River Boston B-16-29 Alford St./Mystic River Boston B-16-33 Morrissey Blvd,/Dorchester Bay \(I Hu1�Inq Sl:i CI, Ho,lo!). \h,%a usvi(N (12I1 t '•) 7-'-A47O Everett/Medford E-12-4/M-12-18 Revere Beach Pkwy./Malden River Fall River/Somerset F-2-1/S-16-4 Brightman St./Taunton River Falmouth F-3-5 Water St./Eel Pond , Lynn/Revere L-18-15/R-5-8 North Shore Rd./Saugus River Marshfield/Norwell M-7-1/N-24-1 Union St./ North River Medford M-12-19 Mystic Valley Pkwy./ Mystic River Newbury N-10-11 Plum Island Tn k./ Plum Island Riv( Newburyport/Salisbury N-11-11/S-2-3 U.S. 1/Merrimack River Westport W-30-16 St. 88/ E.
