Evaluate the characteristics of this building in terms of other buildings within the community. This 2 1/2-story, 5-bay, center-entry house is 2 bays deep and with a wing on the south side. The only visible ornamental element is the fine, Italianate gabled overdoor with returns on scroll brackets. Window frames and all save trim, cornice and gable returns are covered with aluminum siding. Fenestration consists of 6/6, double-hung sash. HISTORICAL NARRATIVE _ see continuation sheet. Discuss the history of the building. Explain its associations with local (or state history. Include uses of the building and the role(s) the owners/occupants played within the community. � The John Huse House is located on upper Federal Street which developed as a residential neighborhood in the early to mid-nineteenth century. Many of the residents were tanners and curriers in the nearby leather district on Boston Street. During the early nineteenth century, Salem's shoe and leather indust-v expanded rapidly to dominate the manufacturing sector of the local econor. the late industrial period. John Huse, a currier at 59 Boston Street in Salem, built this house and the house at 171 Federal Street c. 1845. In 185C, James Braden, a tanner and currier, purchased the house for $2,850. He sold it to Mary Millett in 1866. Having become a successful manufacturer in the leather industry, Braden built a fine house at 170 Federal Street (see Form No. 616) the next year. In 1872, Mary Millett sold the 169 Federal Street house to James S. Newall, ,. who retained the property until 1890 when Mary J. Saunders purchased it. Several members of the Saunders family lived in the house. The women were dressmakers, who at one point, ran their bus'-nese out of the home. Most of the male family members living at the property were employed as curriers and shoemakers. The house remained in the Saunders family until the mid-twentieth century.

Siergiej The criteria that are checked in the above sections must be justified here. This property on upper Federal Street is significant on a local level with regard to the above-referenced criteria for inclusion in an expanded Chestnut Street Historic District for its scale, architecture, archeological potential, associations and relationship to the existing historic district. In conformity with the justification cited for previous expansions of the Chestnut Street Historic District, upper Federal street "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 who 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. " 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. " FORM B� B^ILDI\G Lt Area no.

Because it has not been signed, I cannot accept it as a complete application and have returned it to you. If it is your intent to make the greenhouse window non-visible from the public way, I would suggest that you apply for the greenhouse window under a Certificate of Non- applicability. If the shrubbery has already been planted, I suggest you enclose photographs showing all the views from the public way. If the shrubbery has not been planted. I suggest you enclose a planting plan illustrating the location, name and heights/widths of proposed plants. I also noticed that your application does not address window replacement that allegedly occurred. Until the Commission resolves all issues, your property will continue to be on the Commission's list of violations and be subject to enforcement. Finally, if you are planning to do any other work in the next year, you may want to apply now. In this way,you will only have to come before the Commission once and any Certificate issued will be good for at least one year. Please call me if you need any help in preparing your application.
