BUILDING FORM (24 Winter Street)
ARCHITECTURAL DESCRIPTION
Describe architectural features. Evaluate the characteristics of the building in terms of other buildings within the
community.
A good example of transitional Federal-Greek Revival domestic architecture and one of the few brick houses of its type in
Salem,the John Bertram House is a 2 1/2-story,brick dwelling with a gablefront and a sidehall plan. The building rests on a
foundation which combines high, smooth granite blocks on the facade with lower, rough-faced blocks on the lesser elevations.
It is capped by a slate roof with two tall brick chimneys rising from the comers of the south slope. Set into a paneled
embrasure and fronted by granite steps,the recessed, sidehall entrance contains a varnished wooden door with three raised
vertical panels set above three shorter panels. The door is framed by fluted Corinthian columnettes with partial sidelights and
a semi-elliptical fanlight filled with delicate leaded tracery decorated by quatrefoils. The entrance is capped by a peaked
brownstone lintel which rests on two square blocks with guttae. Above the entrance is a late 19th century rectangular oriel
window supported by two large brackets with the underside sheathed in headboard. There are two 1/1 windows on the front
of the oriel,outlined by horizontal panels below and paired brackets above. Other windows on the building contain an early
20th century 6/1 sash. The windows display rectangular sills and lintels,which are predominantly brownstone. The
pediment has projecting eaves with a brick frieze and a recessed triangle set in the pediment. Centered in the gable is an
arched opening which appears to date to the early 20th century.
Extending behind the main house is a two-story brick wing which is aligned with the north elevation and ends with a single-
story clapboarded building. Projecting from the south side of the brick wing is a two-story projection, a single bay wide and
two bays deep with a rear bay window and full length 6/6 windows on the front. The projection is fronted by a single-story
shed-roofed porch.
The house is set directly on the sidewalk with a small yard to the south of the house, enclosed by an iron fence with granite
posts. The 5500 SF lot extends west to Oliver Street. Facing Oliver Street is a I I/2-story,gablefront bam/garage, sheathed
in clapboards. The building has seen the addition of overhead garage doors.
HISTORICAL NARRATIVE
Describe 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.
According to research previously prepared for Historic Salem,Inc.,this house was constructed for Capt. John Bertram in
1842-3. The lot on which the house stands was part of the estate of Benjamin Cheever,tanner,in the early 1800s. It was
sold by Benjamin's daughter,Eliza Ware,to merchant John Bertram in 1842. Bertram subsequently bought two adjoining
parcels which were used as a garden area. Bertram is shown as the owner on the 1851 map and continued to occupy the
house until 1855 when he moved to his new house on Essex Street(which he later gave to the Salem Public Library).
Bertram came to Salem as a young man and later acquired his own fleet of ships. He is remembered as Salem's greatest
philanthropist and he was intimately connected to Salem Hospital,the Salem Public Library, Old Men's Home and Home for
Aged Women. Bertram sold the Winter Street house to John Jewett in 1855 for$10,000. Jewett began his career as a
cabinet maker in Beverly in 1817 and subsequently became a dealer in mahogany,fancy woods, furniture and grain. Jewett
died in 1874 and the map of that year lists the owner of the property as the heirs of John Jewett. The property was acquired
by Henry A.Hale in 1890. Engaged in the hardware business,Hale also served as president of the Salem Gas Light
Company and as a vice president of the Salem Five Cents Savings Bank Mrs. Alice Hale continued to live here until 1931
when it was acquired by Dr. John Adams,a physician, who had his office in his home. In 1967 Mrs. Ruth Adams sold the
property to Lester Strock who sold it to David Sheehan and Janet Owens in 1977(King 1978).

9. Historical significance (include explanation of themes checked above)
This two-story plus pitch roof, gable-end-to-the-street house is one of
the few brick Greek Revival houses in Salem. The original recessed en-
trance has been "colonialized" (probably around 1900) , and the bay
window above it has also altered the original simplicity of this
Greek Revival building.
Material in Rosamond deLaittre' s book about John Bertram suggests that
this was " the new brick house" to which he moved from #2 Pickman Street
before he moved to the house which is now the Public Library. He became
Salem' s greatest philanthropist, and his name is connected with many of
Salem' s best-known institutions, particularly the Salem Hospital,
Public Library, old Men' s Home and Home for Aged Women. He came to
Salem as a young man and went to sea for many years before he acquired
his own fleet of ships.

During the period of its greatest use, brownstone
was central to the look and feel of American jt
architecture. It is found not only in row houses +l
and individual residences, but also in religious, ,
industrial, commercial, and public buildings.
Brownstone use was most common in the

• Massachusetts: East Longmeadow ! "
• Pennsylvania: Hummelstown
• New York: Medina

• Scotland

Beginning in the late 1860s, however, a construction
boom in New York and other eastern cities created
1 mile upon mile of new row houses. Often, the less
desirable material was pressed into architectural
service and sliced into thin veneer or carved into
elaborate facade features.
Before embarking on any repairs, the condition of
the stone should be surveyed, identifying the
symptoms and possible causes of deterioration.
Observations regarding the color, pattern, texture,
and surface tooling of the brownstone, as well as
Inspecting the previous repairs, can be very helpful to a conservator,

Proposal.•
Construct roof deck on rear ell.Deck railings to have 4"x4"wood support posts and 3/4"iron railings placed 4"on center.
Staff Comments:
The proposed deck railing on the rear ell will be visible from Winter Street as show in the above photograph.It appears that the deck floor will
be raised approximately 11/2 feet above the existing roof but it is unclear how the exposed edge will be finished and whether the roof deck will
be set back from the wall plane of the ell. For the deck railing,the architect is proposing a combination wood and iron railing design similar to
the design of the property's granite and iron picket fence along Winter Street(see image on page 2). The deck railing wood posts are shown as
stained while the pickets are black.

2-3/4" Door Thickness ensures maximum strength and thermal efficiency
Cypress internal core framework with oversized stiles and rails creates a strong

penetrates and weep holes are not needed
Exterior stiles and rail lumber:

Joint that won't open up with expansion and contraction
❖ Deep V-groove in center creates the illusion of a pair of doors
3/4"thick field area material fits between stile and rails preventing water infiltration.

Memo

Dennis Ross, Plumbing Inspector
From: Jeffrey Laaff
Dat.: 05/03/00
Re: Furnace Ventilation
Proposal
We propose to install a black lowered panel as per following details and drawing to improve the
exterior appearance of our home at 24 Winter Street. Salem, MA.
We would like to go before the Salem Historic Commission two weeks hence, May 17, 2000. Please let
us know if this is acceptable.
Details
Remove existing 3" 900 tum-down pipe from 3" intake pipe. Have pipe project one inch horizontally
through existing wall termination kit.
Cut back 2" diameter vent pipe so as to have pipe project 1" beyond the exterior wall and foundation of
house. Visible pipe to be painted black. Insulate this pipe with minimum 1/2"
arma-flex insulation.
Use muriatic acid solution to remove grey portland cement from exposed brick and granite where
visible from street. Install 2 x 6 pressure treated jambs into opening.
Install 26 59' x 14 W louvered pine panel flush with outside brick surface. Install replacement
tumpieces at each side to secure panel and to facilitate inspection.
Remove excess bark mulch to a distance of 12'from termination going in either direction to provide a
minimum 12"grade clearance to bottom elevation of 3"intake pipe.
Top 2 louvers will allow more return air through panel than is required by the 3"intake pipe.
