BUILDING FORM 44 Broad St., Salem ARCHITECTURAL DESCRIPTION see continuation sheet Describe architectural features. Evaluate the characteristics of this building in terms of other buildings within the community. 44 Broad Street is a much altered example of a neighborhood store, rare in the Mclntire district. Set directly on the sidewalk on a narrow lot, it is a two-and-one-half-story building on a rectangular plan. The building is two bays wide by three bays deep. It has a front-gable roof clad in slate, and pierced by two slate-sided, gabled wall dormers at each side. A chimney exists near the rear of the east slope. The foundation is concrete and the walls are clad in wood shingles (first story), and asphalt shingles (second story). The recessed entry (west bay) has a transom and contains a glazed, panelled door. Windows generally have 2/2 sash, or are tripartite with 2/2 and 1/1 sash. Other features include a cornice at the head of the first story, deep eaves and cornice returns. In addition to the altered siding, the first story appears to have originally had a storefront, which has been filled. 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. Located in an area destroyed by the Salem fire of 1914 and rebuilt during the subsequent decade, 44 Broad Street was probably constructed c. 1915. There may have been two previous buildings on the site: a house which existed by 1837, and replacing it by 1897, a grocery store/residence. John Wright, a cordwainer, appeared in the 1837 directory at this address, and owned the property as late as 1874. In 1837 he also had a tenant, Sarah Durant, a seamstress. By 1897 the earlier building appears to have been replaced by a building and small outbuilding (NE); it was owned and occupied by P.O. Driscoll, grocer. It continued in use as a grocery and residence in 1910, when S. B. Dolan occupied it and operated a grocery store there. Unlike most addresses rebuilt after the 1914 fire, there is no gap in city directory listings for this property, suggesting that it was rebuilt immediately following the fire. Members of the Dolan family continued to operate Dolan's Market and reside at this address as late as 1950. During the latter half of the twentieth century the building has been occupied as a multi- family residence. BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES see continuation sheet Hopkins, G. M.
