MASS. HIST. cam. BUILDING FORM 102 Derby Street ARCHITECTURAL DESCRIPTION See continuation sheet. Describe architectural features. Evaluate the characteristics of this building in terms of other buildings within the community. Documentary evidence suggests a possible construction date for 102 Derby Street of 1850 or earlier. The simplicity of its design and detail, however, makes it difficult to classify as to style or date by visual assessment. This two-and-a-half-story, two-bay, gable-front house has close eaves with low-relief gable returns. It has a two-story addition at the rear which projects as a wing on the east side. The building is oriented with its three-bay, side-entry, central-chimney facade facing east rather than toward the street. A second entrance is located on the south elevation of the eastward extension of the rear addition. Window frames are plain, an unusual feature for Salem where molded window frames are the norm for residences of many different periods and styles. Window sash are 6/6. The only ornamental features are the two door frames. At the entrance on the east facade is a simple, projecting frame with a frieze and cornice. Its date is uncertain. At the south entrance is a late 20th century expression of a Classical broken pediment cap. HISTORICAL NARRATIVE X 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. t The lot on which this building stands was bought by William Fairfield, master mariner, in 1822. It appears that buildings, standing on the property at that time, were not included in the sale. It is unclear whether those buildings remained, were moved or demolished at the time of the sale. After William Fairfield's death in 1825, his wife, Margaret, leased the property. It appears that buildings not owned by Mrs. Fairfield stood on the property for many years. Tax and census records show that in 1850 a building at this location was owned by D. Gardner and occupied by Daniel Lawrence, age 31, grocer, with his wife and one-year old daughter. An 1865 advertisement in the Salem Register offered for sale at auction a house at this address "standing on leased land...with a good store in front". After the death of Margaret Fairfield, the land on which the house stands was sold to the owner of the house, Mary J. Barnard. Margaret Fairfield also owned the adjacent house to the east at 100 Derby Street (Form No. 3253) and probably also the one to the west at 104 Derby Street (Form No. 3251). It appears that after her death, her property was subdivided so that the owner of each house became the owner of the property upon which it stood.

INVENTORY FORM CONTINUATION SHEET Salem 102 Derby Street Area HO Form No. 3252 HISTORICAL NARRATIVE (continued) By 1880, during Mary Barnard's ownership, two families were living in the house. Map study indicates that the rear addition was built about this time. It is not known whether the building continued to contain a store during Mrs. Barnard's ownership. It seems to have served only as a residence in later years. BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES *King, Joyce, Research Report 102 Derby Street, Historic Salem Inc., Salem, Massachusetts. Beers, D.
