AUG 0 5 1997 \ ( MASS. HIST. COMM. BUILDING FORM ARCHITECTURAL DESCRIPTION Describe architectural features. Evaluate the characteristics of the building in terms of other buildings within the community. 13 Cambridge Street is a modest, 1 1/2-story Greek Revival dwelling oriented with its entryless, three-bay wide gable to the street. Resting on a granite foundation, the building is clapboarded and outlined by a simple wooden watertable and comerboards. The gable ends display flush eaves and shallow returns while the lateral eaves are boxed. The central entrance faces north and is fronted by wooden steps. The Greek Revival door surround features pilasters embellished by raised fret moldings and an entablature lintel. The late 19th century six-panel door features both vertical and horizontal panels and is flanked by small sidelights. To each side of the entrance is a 20th century, tripartite window consisting of a central 6/6 window flanked by two narrow 2/2 windows. The remaining windows on the building contain 6/6 sash with molded surrounds and louvered blinds. A small, single-story wing is located east of the main house, fronted on the north by a modem deck. The house is set directly on the sidewalk, just a foot from its neighbor to the south (15 Cambridge). There is a paved driveway to the north of the house which is shared with 11 Cambridge. 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. The history of this dwelling is closely intertwined with that of the adjacent house at 11 Cambridge Street. According to research for Historic Salem, Inc., the land upon which this house stands was sold by Theodore Littlefield to Pemberton Hale, housewright, in 1839 with the condition that no building be built on the north line of the premises for twenty years without ; Littlefield's consent. Littlefield lived next door at 11 Cambridge Street in a house which he had constructed in 1833. He sold * the house at #11 to Pemberton Hale in 1847 for $1450. Hale operated a grocery store at the corner of Norman and Summer I Streets. In 1850 Hale was living at 13 Cambridge while renting out 11 Cambridge Street. By 1860 Hale was living at #11 and renting out #) 3. Upon Hale's death in 1885, the ownership of #11 and #13 passed to his daughter, Lydia Hale Woodbury, wife of Ezra. In 1927, Lydia's heirs sold both properties to Fannie Hayford, wife of Amos Hayford. The Hayfords lived at #11 for the remainder of their lives, apparently renting out #13. In 1953, a few years after Amos' death, his daughter sold the property to Lionel and Irene Landry. The property remained in the Landry family until 1981 (King 1981).
