Dear Ms. Edelstein:
On April 19, 1989, the Salem Historical Commission approved a
Certificate of Appropriateness for the removal of dormer siding and
replacement with wooden clapboards to be painted the same color as the body
of the house. On June 20, 1989, it was observed that the clapboards had
been installed on the four dormers and that the color of the clapboards is
considerably darker blue than the body color of the house.
If it is your intention to paint the body of the house the blue color
of the dormers, you should apply for a Certificate of Appropriateness for
this change. If you do not intend to apply for new paint colors, the
dormers should be repainted to match the existing body color as stipulated
in your Certificate of Appropriateness dated May 1 , 1989.
Please respond to this letter within fourteen (14) days. Thank you for
your cooperation in this matter.

Re: Attached photocopy of your June22 , 1989 , letter
to my mother, Mrs. Hope F. Edelstein
Dear Annie C. Harris :
Your letter makes apparent the need for your historical
enlightenment. Our family' s roots in Salem date back at
least as far and likely farther than do yours. The property
which my mother, Mrs. Hope F. Edelstein, owns has belonged
to our family for several generations; its grounds and
improvements always well maintained. We have a high stake
in Salem' s rich heritage and in the preservation of such.
In this light, your letter of June 22 , 1989 , deeply
concerns me. In this instance, at least, your knowledge
of building materials and in their behavior appears to be
severely lacking. The installation used for the siding
of the four dormers is of the same material and color as
that of the body of the house when originally installed
several years ago. Salt air and weather have caused the
body color to fade to its present color, as they will over
time to the four dormers.
I suggest that, in the future, you be significantly
more knowledgeable, thorough and responsible. The
preservation of Salem' s great heritage depends on efforts
such as those of the Historical Commission.
This matter is now closed.
Per my mother' s request, any and all future correspondences
shall be directed exclusively to me at the address listed
on this letterhead. In no other way shall communications
