H 1ST umlvl. c. c BUILDING FORM 2 North Pine Street, Salem ARCHITECTURAL DESCRIPTION see continuation sheet Describe architectural features. Evaluate the characteristics of this building in terms of other buildings within the community. 2 North Pine Street is a 2 1/2 story, side gable house, set on a large rough cut stone foundation. The main block is rectangular in plan 3 bays wide by 3 bays deep. The walls are sheathed in vinyl siding. The 2/2 wood windows have exterior storms and vinyl shutters. The central entrance on the south elevation is framed by Tuscan pilasters and sheltered by a bracketed door hood Narrow, full length sidelights flank a replacement door with a metal storm door. This was possibly a transitional building with Greek Revival and Victorian eclectic features, or it may have been updated at a later date. A small cropped brick central chimney pierces the south slope of the asphalt shingle roof. A side (E) ell steps back from the facade and has an entrance topped by a transom. Projecting from the south elevation of the ell, a second story bay is set over a first story porch with a balustrade and deck that appear new. An altered casement window and an 8/12 window in the projecting bay suggest it is a Colonial Revival alteration. The east ell appears on the 1897 map and must have been built by that time. There is a single central dormer on the north slope of the roof and there are four small windows on the north elevation, which have either been added or altered The building sits on a tight lot, directly on the sidewalk on North Pine Street. The high stone cemetery wall rims the east border close to the east elevation and a driveway borders the house on the south and north sides. There is a low chain link fence bordering a walk along the south side of the building leading up to the entry and the rear porch. 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. 2 North Pine Street was constructed c. 1850 for Charles Richardson. The directories did not list an occupation. By 1874. the property was owned by Jonathon F. Saul, who also owned the adjacent buildings at 398 Essex Street. The owner in 1897 was J. J. Sheehan and by 1911, the property had passed to his widow, Mary J. Sheehan, who also owned the adjacent 4 Pine Street and resided at 400 Essex Street. The Sheehan family never occupied this building and it appears from the directories that this building has been occupied as a two family house since the end of the 19th Century. In 1897, the occupants were John W. Rafter, morroco dresser and William M. Earle, liquor dealer. Subsequent residents were John W. Rafter and John J. Farrell, foreman printer, (1910); Adelard Jodoin. carpenter and Francis J. O'Rourke, leather worker, (1930); Peter Shaluk, shoe worker and Walerian Zukowski. leather worker, (1950); Emilia Zukowski and Thomas W. Bryson, machinist, (1970). According to HSI research, Nathaniel Frothingham, Jr. and James C. Stimpson acquired a parcel of land in-4845 which fronted on Essex Street and stretched back toward Federal Street. Soon thereafter, they laid out a private way through this parcel. It appears on the 1851 map as Pine Street but by 1854 was known as North Pine Street. Frothingham and Stimpson subdivided and developed this parcel into multiple lots, reportedly moving several houses here. BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES X see continuation sheet Booth. Robert.
