also nice.
Mr. Spang stated that he felt the red still feels like a color for a barn or shed and that he preferred
Option 2.
Ms. Herbert stated that there is a barn attached to the building and that it has a sort of rustic look.
She noted that the other houses on the Common are more formal and later in date. She stated that
she felt Option 2 was kind of boring.
Mr. Spang stated that he did not feel Codman Claret was appropriate to the house and that Option 2
was appropriate.
Mr. Cabot stated that he painted a sample of the color onto the house.
Mr. Spang suggested a continuance.
( Mr. Desrocher stated that he kind of liked the red.

i
August 17, 2005, Page 3
Ms. Herbert made a motion to approve the application as submitted. Mr. Desrocher seconded the
motion, all were in favor and the motion so carried.
156 Derby Street
Spiros Kounsalieh presented an application for a Certificate of Appropriateness to construct a wall
and to replace a fence with a wall at the Witches Brew Restaurant. Also present was Gabriel Petino.
Photographs were provided showing the work that has already begun.
Mr. Petino stated that the wall will act as a retaining wall. It will have a blue stone cap. He stated
that the soil between the wall and the building will be below the wood panels.
Ms. Herbert asked if plants will be placed in between the cellar window wells. Mr. Petino replied in
the affirmative.
Mr. Spang stated that it is an awkward position where the owner has invested a lot of money into the
wall and he did not want to see him waste it. He stated that there could be other solutions to solve
the grade change and added that he was concerned that as built, it will inevitable fill with trash and
snow. He stated that he felt it was an unfortunate addition to an otherwise terrific job done on the
building.
Mr. Petino stated that he wanted a wall, not a curb, since it give people a place to lean when they
smoke instead of leaning against the new paint job.
Mr. Spang added his additional concern that it will fill with cigarette butts.
Mr. Petino stated that it is a maintenance issue and noted that Mr. Kounsalieh is a good business
owner who will maintain it.
Mr. Kounsalieh stated that there will be receptacles for cigarette butts.
Ms. Herbert stated that she had no problem with a wall going along the property line and assumed
there would be a fence above the wall. She stated that the wall near the building looks a little
"Flintstonish" and noted that since it can't be filled,it will look like a pit. She stated that a granite
curb with trees around would work. She added that as currently constructed,it will draw attention to
it.
Mr. Spang suggested continuing the application and working with the owner to come up with ideas.
Mr. Kounsalieh apologized for building the wall without first obtaining approval.
Mr. Petino stated that he was willing to finish the lot line wall, finish the brick pavers and work with
the Commission for a solution on the wall running along the building.
Ms. Herbert made a motion to approve the construction of a 2' high by 12"wide stone wall along the
August 17, 2005, Page 4
rear property line from the building to Daniels Street and to continue the application for the wall
running parallel to the building. Mr. Desrocher seconded the motion, all were in favor and the
motion so carried.
Ms. Herbert suggested applying for a fence for the top of the rear wall.
Ms. Herbert stated that the painting done on the upper stories of the building is not as approved,
noting that the trim is red rather than the dark green approved.
Mr. Kounsalieh stated that he will change the red to green.
Ms. Herbert stated that the red painted does not appear to match the red approved.
Mr. Petino disagreed and noted that it was purchased at Waters and Brown.
Mr. Kounsalieh noted that the body of the upper stories was painted Warren Tavern, rather than
Britches.
Ms. Herbert asked if anyone had a problem with the dark green. Ms.Diozzi replied in the negative.
Mr. Petino asked if they could invert the scheme and have the trim be the lighter green.
Ms. Herbert made a motion to paint the body of the residential (upper stories)with Warren Tavern
and the trim with Britches(changing from Codman Claret). Mr.Desrocher seconded the motion,all
were in favor and the motion so carried.
107 Federal Street
Christine Micciche and Keith McCleam submitted an application for a Certificate of
Appropriateness to change the door leading into the commercial space at 107 Federal Street.
Ms. Micciche stated that the proposed door is the same as the door at the comer of Hamilton and
Essex Streets but with only one side lite and no glass above.
Ms. Diozzi asked if they recently purchased the property. Ms. Micciche replied in the negative,
stating that they purchased it six years ago.
It was brought to the attention of the Commission that work had started on repairing wood panels on
the storefront, but that they were not being done in kind.
Ms. Guy stated that the owners have not applied for the change,that the panels were not included in
the public advertisement and that the Commission should not discuss them until an application is
received. Ms. Micciche stated that she would submit an application.
John Carr, 7 River Street,asked if the new door will be flushed or recessed. Ms. Micciche stated that
August 17, 2005, Page 5
it will remain recessed.
C
Ms. Guy asked the paint color. Ms. Micciche stated that it will the white or remain natural wood,
similar to the photograph.
Ms. Herbert asked if the air conditioner over the door will remain. Ms. Micciche stated that
eventually they would like to remove it and put in a wood panel to match the rest of the storefront.
Ms.Herbert suggested looking into finding an alternative location for the air conditioner,noting that
it was not pleasant with the hose running down the side, particularly with a new door.
Mr. Carr stated that this is a very important and unique building, built by John Chandler. It is
important that the recess remain. He noted that the proposed is a Victorian outer door. He stated
that he applauded the removal of the metal door,but felt the Commission needs more detail on the
new door. He noted that the Hamilton/Essex door cannot be transposed to this building. He added
that the other door on this building is likely what was once in this entrance.
Ms.Micciche stated that she did not feel that a business owner in this space would want a solid door.
She added that she was considering covering the air conditioner.
Carol Carr,7 River Street,asked if the dimensions of the proposed door are the same as the existing
( door. Ms. Miceiche stated that the proposed door is a concept.
Ms. Carr stated that she felt that more specificity was needed.
Betsy Burns, 22 Beckford Street, stated that this is a very important building and felt that the
proposed does not work. She preferred to match the other existing door, but with glass panels.
Ms. Herbert made a motion to continue the application to the next meeting. There was no second.
Mr. Spang stated that he was wondering about the idea of glass in the door. If the space were retail,
it likely would have been glass rather than solid. He suggested the Peabody Essex Museum library to
see if they can find a photograph of what was once there. He stated that the proposed door is not
appropriate. He stated that he felt there would have bee symmetry and that it behooves the
Commission to ask for a scaled drawing to see what it would look like.
Ms. Herbert sated that measurements are needed. She suggested looking at 95 Federal Street porch
doors.
Mr. Spang noted that if the air conditioner were to be covered, it would block a portion of the
window.
Ms. Herbert asked if they would be keeping the louvered window. Ms. Micciche stated that she is
applying for a facade improvement loan from the city and would repair it if it is an eligible cost.
August 17, 2005, Page 6
Mr. Spang made a motion to continue the application. Mr. Desrocher seconded the motion,all were
in favor and the motion so carried.
361 Essex Street
Timothy and Alice Clarke submitted an application for a Certificate of Appropriateness for
alterations to the carriage house at 361 Essex Street. Present were Mr. Clarke and architect John
Goff.
Mr. Goff stated that he believes this is a Samuel McIntire building and that the carriage house is
original to the house and built at the same time,c 1800. To the east of the house is an alleyway where
the side wall of the outbuilding is visible. It is a 2-story hip roof federal style with a belt course
around the right, but not currently around the left. He stated that there is evidence that the belt
course was once around the left as well. In 1920 there was an addition that included the three doors.
The proposal is to restore the front to the federal style to what it might have looked like. They
propose to introduce a new garage door on the North side facing Essex Street. It will be a vertical
board pine door with strap hinges,but will be a roll-up door that reads as a federal door. Drawings
were provided,including the proposed west side alterations. He noted that door#I will match door
#4.
Ms. Herbert questioned if door#6 was short.
r Mr. Goff replied in the affirmative and stated that he felt that door#5 had been extended.
Ms. Herbert suggested that both be the same size.
Mr. Spang stated that the existing door#4is off center from door#6 above.
Ms. Herbert noted that door#2 and#3 will be swing out doors.
Mr. Goff provided photographic examples of McIntire outbuildings.
Ms. Herbert suggested that there be a window behind door#5 in case they want to use it like door#6.
She asked what was on the back side of the building.
Mr. Clarke stated that it is a blank wall with clapboards.
Ms. Herbert stated that it is worth checking to see if there was once windows there that could be
restored for cross ventilation.
Mr. Clarke stated that he reviewed the plans with his neighbors and that all were in favor.
Mr. Goff stated that they will keep the same color scheme.
Mr. Spang made a motion to approve the application as submitted with the option to match the
August 17, 2005, Page 7
door/window identified as#5 to match the door/window identified as#6. Ms.Herbert seconded the
motion,all were in favor and the motion so carried. Mr. Desrocher seconded the motion,all were in
favor and the motion so carried.
120 Federal Street
Meg Twohey and Darrow Lebovici submitted an application for a Certificate of Appropriateness to
replace a garden fence,in lieu of the in-kind replacement previously requested. They are proposing a
custom fence to match the fence on the perimeter of the property, unpainted picket fence with cap.
The height is to match the front portion of the perimeter fence. Steve Whittier represented the
applicant.
Mr. Whittier stated that the fence will run from the center side of 120 Federal to the property line of
118-116 Federal. It is being replaced with the fence that matches the one between 120 and 118,
unpainted. The fence will have a gate that matches the fence in the location of the existing gate.
Ms. Herbert made a motion to approve the application as submitted. Mr. Desrocher seconded the
motion, all were in favor and the motion so carried.
There being no further business, Mr. Desrocher made a motion to adjourn. Ms. Herbert seconded
the motion, all were in favor and the motion so carried.

SALEM HISTORICAL COMMISSION
MINUTES
September 7, 2005
A meeting of the Salem Historical Commission was held on September 7,2005 at 7:30 p.m. at 120
Washington Street, Salem, MA. Present were Messrs. Desrocher, Mangifesti and Spang and Ms.
Diozzi, Ms. Harper and Ms. Herbert and Ms. Guy
156 Derby Street
In continuation of a previous meeting, Spires Kounsalieh presented an application for a Certificate of
Appropriateness to construct a wall and at the Witches Brew Restaurant.
Mr. Kounsalieh provided a new drawing and stated that he will put plantings at the beginning,
middle and end or the area between the wall and the building and will also have two window boxes.
He provided a sample of the bluestone top. He also provided one of the cans of Codman Claret paint
to illustrate that the color used was the color approved.
Ms.Herbert stated that the window boxes will keep people from sitting on the wall and that she feels
is solves the problem.
Mr. Kounsalieh stated that he may put flower boxes along the front of the building along Derby
Street.
There was no public comment.
Ms. Diozzi read a letter from Polly Wilbert in favor of the application and a letter from Stephen
Parlato regarding the lot line fence that was removed.
Mr. Kounsalieh stated that he still had the fence pieces and that he could put the fence back on a
temporary basis until he submits a new fence application in the spring.
Ms. Herbert noted that the lot line fence was 1 x 6 plank. She added that if they intended to install a
new awning, it will also need approval.
Ms. Herbert made a motion to approve a Certificate of Non-applicability for the reinstallation of the
fence . Mr. Mangifesti seconded the motion, all were in favor and the motion so carried.
Mr. Spang stated that the Commission already approved the wall along the property line at the last
meeting. He stated that his concern regarding the empty space between the wall and the building
will be helped by the landscaping. He noted that the two bulkheads are translucent plastic and
aluminum and suggested putting a piece of plywood over then with the flower boxes on top. He
stated that he was not really happy with the way the wall turned out, but felt that the owner did a
terrific job on the building,that the owner has made an effort to alleviate the Commission's concerns
l
September 7, 2005, Page 2
and that he was willing to accept the wall.
Ms.Herbert asked if the bluestone will be flush or project. Mr.Kounsalieh stated that it will overlap
a little.
Ms. Herbert made a motion to approve construction of 2' high x 12" wide stone wall on driveway
side running parallel to building with a bluestone cap to be placed on top of wall,to overlap slightly.
Planter boxes to be mounted on back side of stone wall, with flowers and evergreen shrubs to be
planted at each end of the space between the building and the wall,as well as between two basement
window wells and placement of plywood over wells with window boxes on top. Mr. Mangifesti
seconded the motion, all were in favor and the motion so carried.
1 Forrester Street
In continuation of a previous meeting, Douglas and Carie Cabot presented an application for a
Certificate of Appropriateness for paint colors and shutter removal.
Mr. Cabot stated that at the last meeting they received approval for one paint scheme and that he
would like the Commission to reconsider his second scheme which is Codman Claret for the body,
Jewett White for the trim and Leapfrog for the doors.
Ms. Cabot stated that they will use flat paint, not gloss.
Mr. Cabot noted that barn red is included as a Georgian color in The Salem Handbook.
Mr. Spang stated that he went by the house and saw the sample color. He stated that Codman Claret
is great for utility buildings and that he did not feel that dark red is appropriate to this house.
Mr. Mangifesti was in agreement, noting that it was too much color for the house.
Mr. Desrocher stated that he was on the fence,that he was not opposed,but that he preferred a tone
with a little more brown.
Ms. Harper agreed with Mr. Desrocher, noting that it is a radically different color than what is
currently on the house.
Ms. Herbert stated that she was curious what people in the Federal Street area that were present in
the audience thought, after dealing with Clementine.
Sheri Rozenzweig, 38 Flint Street, stated that she had no problem with a bright color.
Mr. Mangifesti stated that a house should not pop out in an historic area, but should blend in. He
stated that sometimes color will overwhelm the style of the home.
John Car,7 River Street,stated that the question is what is historically appropriate. He noted that it
t
September 7, 2005, Page 3
is the oldest house on the Salem Common, is in a prominent location and is a terrific house of its
/ type. He stated that special consideration should be taken to select a color that celebrates the house.
`— He stated that he could not see any house of that style up or down the eastern seaboard in that body
color. He noted that he has seen it as a trim color on a church in Marblehead.
Ms. Herbert stated that it is much less formal than any house on the common and has an attached
barn. She stated that she liked the red,but was not sure how it would look in its totality.
Ms. Diozzi stated that she liked the color choice. She felt that it being the oldest house on the
Common supports the color. She noted that Tolles' book refers to the house as "quaint"and that
several neighbors have told her they are in favor of the color.
Ms. Herbert made a motion to approve the color scheme as submitted. Mr.Desrocher seconded the
motion,all were in favor and the motion so carried. Mr.Desrocher and Ms. Diozzi,Ms.Harper and
Ms. Herbert voted in favor. Messrs. Mangifesti and Spang voted in opposition. The motion so
carried.
Mr. Cabot stated that it is a quaint house,once a tanners home and fairly humble. He stated that he
felt removal of the shutters would bring it back to what it would have been originally. He read an
excerpt from a Kimball Fisk book regarding shutters and well as an excerpt from The Salem
Handbook. He added that the Peirce Nichols house historic photo shows no shutters. He noted that
only 20 of the 48 windows on his house are shuttered.
John Carr, 7 River Street, stated that he felt both shutter removal or retention was appropriate and
that it is up to the homeowner's taste. He noted that shutters came into wide popularity in the 1820's
but were available as early as the 18'' century.
Carol Carr, 7 River Street, stated that the house across the street from her was a red with black
shutters and it looked awful.
Ms. Herbert stated that she felt it would be appropriate to remove the shutters and noted that in some
cases the shutters overlap and aren't symmetrical.
Mr. Spang stated that when the Bowditch House was done, it was determined that the house had
been raised and at the same time details were added in order to keep up with the Jones'. He stated
that he did not feel this was emblematic of a 1770 house,but was emblematic of a federal house. He
felt that the Commission needs to review it based on the merits of the house as it is now,and not by
its age. He stated that he felt the blinds should not be permanently removed.
Ms. Harper stated that she felt it would be appropriate to remove the blinds. She asked if the owners
would store them.
Mr. Cabot stated that they were beyond repair,but if required they are prepared to install new blinds.
( Mr. Mangifesti stated that he liked the look of shutters but was prepared to go along with removal.
September 7, 2005, Page 4
Mr. Mangifesti made a motion to give the applicants the option to either retain or permanently
remove the shutters. Ms.Herbert seconded the motion. Messrs. Mangifesti and Desrocher and Ms.
Diozzi,Ms.Harper and Ms.Herbert voted in favor. Mr. Spang voted in opposition. The motion so
carried.
The owners also submitted an application for a Certificate of Appropriateness to pour a new
foundation under the barn and to add a water table to cover the concrete up to 8:"grade,to where the
clapboards begin. The water table will match the house and will be painted the house trim color.
Mr. Cabot stated that they need to add a watertable to the back of the house. The bam foundation
will not have a watertable
Ms. Herbert stated that the foundation may not be visible.
Ms. Herbert made a motion to approve the application as submitted. Mr. Mangifesti seconded the
motion, all were in favor and the motion so carred.
107 Federal Street
In continuation of a previous meeting, Christine Micciche and Keith McCleam submitted an
application for a Certificate of Appropriateness to change the door leading into the commercial space
at 107 Federal Street. They also submitted an application for a Certificate of Appropriateness to
replace rotting wood panels on the front of the store to match an existing panel on the building and to
change the existing sign to another wood sign of the same dimension.
Ms. Micciche stated that the two front panels will match the corner panel.
Ms. Herbert asked if there was granite underneath the front. Ms. Micciche replied in the negative.
Mr. McClearn stated that at one time there were windows, prior to the floor being raised.
John Carr, 7 River Street, stated that it was laudable intent to undertake repairs, but noted that the
corner panel was original to the building and that the new panels don't relate to what was at the
corner. He noted that the existing panels on the inset of the doorway define what was on the corner
and stated that they should be level on the bottom to the panels in the doorway and that there should
be a skirtboard.
Ms. Herbert stated that the new inset panels also need a piece of%<round like the existing and agreed
that the skirtboard should flow around.
Mr. McClearn stated that he was planning on running a skirtboard around and that the work was not
yet completed.
Mr. Can stated that the dimensions of the skirtboard and surround should match those panels inside
l
September 7, 2005, Page 5
the doorway.
Ms.Herbert stated that the solution is to add a skirtboard and a piece of pine and%a round to finish if
off. Both the inside panel and the new panels should measure the same in height.
Mr. Carr stated that continuing the skirtboard would unite the whole fagade.
Ms. Herbert noted that to create a continuous skirtboard,there is not granite,so it would need to be
painted gray below the skirtboard.
Ms. Harper stated that there was no continuous skirtboard originally and that the historic
photographs shows grills with no granite in the front. She could see restoring the original on the
side, but could see it being wider on the front.
Mr. Mangifesti stated that he felt the bottom of the skirtboard should go around the house and that a
board below could compensate for the lack of granite.
Mr. Carr stated that it is no increase in cost to do the next best thing to restoring the grills.
Ms. Herbert asked if the grills were still there. Mr.McClearn believed they might be,noting that you
can see right through.
Mr. Mangifesti suggested a solution similar to the Bowman's building.
Mr. McCleam stated that he thought the storefront would look terrible.
Mr. Spang stated that the evidence is clear that the champhered corner has not been put back to
match the original,that there has been a substantial change and that he is not hearing a lot of support
for what has been built. He was concerned of what the finished look would be and noted that the
original panels had more detail which has not been put into the new panels. He stated that he did not
feel he could vote in favor of the current condition.
Mr. McClearn suggested lowering the corner panel to match the front.
Ms. Herbert stated that she felt it would make the situation worse.
Ms. Diozzi stated that what has been built is a much more significant change in scale.
Mr. Spang stated that the general consensus is to carry the baseline top around the building and
replicate the recessed panel with all the details.
Ms. Diozzi read a letter from Betsy Bums, 22 Beckford Street.
Ms. Herbert stated that if the grills were still there, they could expose them again and put a board
behind them, painted black. It would be closer to the original and more valuable to the building
September 7, 2005, Page 6
down the road. She stated that the corner needs to be fixed to match what was there. If the grates
cannot be restored,the a skirtboard would need to be run and the spacing below would vary.
Ms. Spang stated that they need to pick up the line on the base of the columns.
Andrew Carr,7 River Street,stated that he was a senor at the Rhode Island School of Design and felt
that the proposal to run the skirtboard around would fit in with the overall theme of the house.
Mr. Spang made a motion to rebuild the wood panel of chamfered corner of storefront to replicate
original, including base molding to match the height of the pilaster base and including 1/4 round
molding within raised panel which is consistent with both the original panel in this location and the
existing panels within the front door entranceway. The motion is also for the replacement of two
storefront wood panels facing Federal Street to match chamfered comer as outlined above including
height of recessed panel.Top of the base molding(i.e. skirtboard or watertable)to be level with the
top of the base molding of the pilasters and the bottom of the base molding to meet the top of the
existing granite. Mr. Mangifesti seconded the motion. Messrs. Desrocher, Mangifesti and Spang
and Ms. Diozzi voted in favor. Ms. Harper and Ms. Herbert voted in opposition. The motion so
carried.
Ms.Herbert made a motion to rebuild the wood panel of chamfered comer of storefront to replicate
original, including base molding to match the height of the pilaster base and including 1/4 round
molding within raised panel which is consistent with both the original panel in this location and the
existing panels within the front door entranceway. Replacement of two storefront wood panels
facing Federal Street by exposing the original grilles. Option to place wood board behind grilles,
painted black. Ms. Harper seconded the motion, all were in favor and the motion so carried.
Ms. Micciche stated that they are proposing a door to match 108 Federal with a side light. The width
of the current door is 55".
Ms. Herbert suggested double doors such as 95 Federal Street.
Mr. Spang asked who will manufacture the doors. Ms.Micciche stated that they have not researched
it yet.
Mr. Spang stated that it may be hard to find a door to match. He questioned how they will do the
side lights with a 36"door.
Mr. McClearn stated that they will find one to fit or will trim it to fit. It will be wood with solid
glass.
Ms.Herbert did not feel it would be appropriate and suggested double doors with one side fixed with
pins, which they would probably have to have made.
Mr. Carr stated that there is no specificity in the proposal, but he had no problem with the concept.
He noted that it was not appropriate to have an asymmetrical sidelight.
September 7, 2005, Page 7
Carol Carr, 7 River Street, stated that 95 Federal Street looks great.
Mr. McCleam stated if it is not cost effective, the existing door will remain.
Mr. Spang asked what the use of the space will be. Mr. McCleam stated that it will be a design
studio.
Mr. Spang asked if it will need ADA access. Mr. McCleam replied that he did not believe so.
Mr. Spang suggested they check with the building inspector, as it could impact the ability to have
double doors. He stated that he could not support an asymmetrical sidelight and noted that he would
want specifics on the door,such as a drawing or catalog cut,in order to understand what it will look
lie.
Ms.Herbert stated that,if handicapped access comes up,it might be able to be accomplished through
a side door.
Ms.Micciche stated that she is due to give birth in early October and did not know which upcoming
meeting they could attend. Ms. Guy suggested withdrawing the rest of the application and
reapplying when they are ready.
Ms. Micciche withdrew the remainder of the application.
