Salem Common Fence Restoration 3-30-2012Salem Common Fence Restoration Salem, Massachusetts March 30, 2012 March 30, 2012 Natalie Lovett Community Development Planner Department of Planning and Community Development City of Salem 120 Washington Street, 3rd Floor Salem, MA 01970 Tel.: (978) 619-5685 Email: nlovett@salem.com Proj.: Salem Common Fence Re: Condition Assessment Report, Executive Summary CBI Job No.: 11195 Dear Natalie: CBI Consulting Inc. (CBI) is pleased to present the following Condition Assessment Report which describes the condition of the fence surrounding the Salem Common and makes recommendations for repair and renovation. All repair work specified conforms to the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for the Treatment of Cultural Landscapes. The report also includes cost estimates based on: 1. The total cost of restoration performed all at once. 2. An analysis of the cost per fence section. 3. A list of costs broken down per repair level. During our investigation, we reviewed every one of the 253 individual fence sections and noted the deficiencies on site. The fence suffers from deterioration over long-term exposure and little maintenance. However, the biggest problem for the fence has to do with vehicular impact. The worst fence sections and those missing are due to the problems relating to snowplow operations around the fence during the winter and the carelessness of automobile and truck operators. During the last major renovation, there were some individual repairs that were inappropriate. Those are noted in the report. Additionally, we have made recommendations for repairs using traditional and modern methods and materials which would be appropriate at this time. We have also recommended that expansion details be installed at the end of each fence section and that each section of fence receive the same treatment which includes removal to the shop for all repairs. Those repairs would include a sandblasting to remove the existing paint, replacement of missing and broken parts, adjustment of the assembly to be straight, repainting, and reinstallation. Page 2 Historic Repairs to Salem Common Cast-Iron Fence CBI Job No.: 11195 March 30, 2012 Based on the City's budget, we propose two phases of construction (of which the plans and specifications for bidding are included in this package). Phase I would include the restoration of the two fences flanking each side of entrances number 1 and 11, with Add Alternate pricing for these additional fences at entrance number 2. Phase II, with a budget of $200,000 (some of which is requested from the MHC Grant) would encompass the restoration of the two fences flanking gates 3 through 8, with Add Alternates for those fences flanking entrances 9 and 10. We suggest that strong qualification language be included in the Specification as the number of Contractors who have the ability to do this work is limited. Locally, we have experience with DeAngelis Iron Work, Inc., Cassidy Brothers Forge, Inc., and Ryan Iron Works, Inc. who are qualified and large enough to handle a project of this scope and size. The Salem Fence is an important part of the historic fabric of the City of Salem and deserves to be restored. The City's commitment to the future of the fence is seen in their commitment of funding which at this time will address over 10% of the work. We look forward to working with the City and the MHC in the weeks and months ahead on this interesting and important project. Please call with any questions. Very Truly Yours, CBI Consulting Inc.

(CBI) has visited the site of the Salem Common Fence, in Salem, Massachusetts, to review the existing conditions of the existing cast-iron fence structure that surrounds the park. The perimeter of the common is approximately 1/2 mile long and the majority of it is enclosed with an approximately five (5) foot tall cast-iron fence. (See Photo #1). There are 253 fence sections, approximately 8’-0” long. While in its current condition, several of the fence panels are missing, the majority are intact but exhibit deterioration either from exposure to the elements, impact from vehicles, vandalism, or improper repair techniques. The fence is uniform, meaning that each of the fence sections (posts and eight foot long infill fence panel) is the same. Each was created from the same pattern and therefore are very uniform throughout the assembly. However, there are entrance ways that are different from the standard fence panel facing Washington Square Streets, and at the corner of Williams Street and Washington Square. (See Photo #2). Various entrances throughout the fence structure have been closed off by bollards. Some are historic (see Photo #3) and some are modern/removable (see Photo #4). The City of Salem has installed modern steel pipes with screw tops at these locations, likely because they were easier and cheaper to procure at the time and possibly after the existing historic bollards were either stolen or damaged by vehicles. The typical fence panel consists of a post with a decorative capital, an octagonal shaft, and a mildly decorative base. (See Photos #5 & #6). It appears as if these were cast in two (2) separate pieces. A small "pineapple" exists as a finial at the top of post and is connected to a steel rod which is threaded at the top and bottom. (See Photo #7). At the top, the pineapple is connected to the rod and, at the bottom, the threads connect to a steel plate which is cast in or fastened to the granite base. Tightening the rod attached to the pineapple, secures the post and creates the structural strength to hold the post in place and keep it from tipping. Except for the top rail (which is mild steel and bends) (see Photo #8) the fence is comprised of cast iron elements (which does not bend). The fence panel, located between posts, consists of a decorative bottom rail which is fairly ornate (see Photo #9) and accepts the cast-iron vertical balusters that penetrate the top rail and are capped by two (2) different spearhead designs (see Photo #10). The balustrades are also two (2) different designs corresponding to the spearheads. There are only a few non-uniform fence sections. They contain swinging gates. The support posts are granite and the gates match the fence. The steel is set into recesses created in the granite. Unfortunately, the steel has rusted and when it rusts, it expands. The pressure of the rusted steel caused the edge of the granite recess to chip or “spall”. (See Photo #17). Cast-iron is an alloy with a high carbon content (at least 1.7% and usually 3.0 to 3.7%) that makes it more resistant to corrosion. While it is extremely easy to cast and can take almost Page 2 Salem Common Fence Restoration Condition Assessment March 30, 2012 CBI Job # 11195 any shape in which a mold can be created, it does not lend itself to fine detail and it has structural strength issues. It is extremely strong in compression and has been used since the 1800's to create columns and entire building façades that were also structural. It is, however, not good in tension and is extremely brittle. Until recently, you could not weld to cast-iron. In the modern era, new welding rods (Certanium) have been developed that take advantage of the cast-iron metallurgical properties and, if used carefully, can weld pieces of cast-iron together or pieces of mild steel to the cast- iron. It is important to note, that like welding with mild steel, the weld is always stronger than the parent material. Unfortunately, with cast-iron this is even more true, as any force applied to the cast material, adjacent to a weld, will snap the cast-iron on the other side of the weld location. In some cases the top rail was not long enough to connect to the post and an extension was attached in mild steel. (See Photo #11). Typically, the top rail is welded directly to the support post. (See Photo #12). A sealant, which appears to be black silicone, was applied over the welds in an effort to smooth out the surface and not trap any moisture. Unfortunately, the sealant is, in fact, trapping moisture and rust has formed around the welds. (See Photo #13). Traditionally, cast-iron material is bolted together using blind or countersunk fasteners. Cast- iron can be drilled and tapped and threaded fasteners used to connect pieces together. In modern times, the process of drilling and tapping is costly and with the advent of welding techniques, this process is not often employed. However, it would be more historically correct and in some cases would take advantage of the materials properties. The existing fence has been created in different eras and it appears as if different molds were used at different times to create the entire fence and or replacement pieces. Either that or the quality of the casting varies. New molds can be created from existing piece of cast-iron. However, cast-iron shrinks approximately 1/8 inch per foot. So if new cast-iron is to be cast from molds of existing pieces, the designer and contractor must take this shrinkage into consideration and adjust accordingly. The finish of the existing fence is black paint. We have not tested the paint so we are unclear as to whether not lead paint exists throughout. However it is likely. Nevertheless, because the various fence elements are deteriorated and rust exists the finish must be replaced. Paint cannot be applied to the cast-iron until it has been properly prepared. As per Preservation Brief-27 from the U.S. Department of the Interior, see attached, we recommend low pressure grit blasting the existing material with an abrasive material such as iron slag or sand which will remove the existing coatings down to the bare metal and create a “tooth” to help the paint adhere. It is most important to remove any loose material and, especially, all the existing rust and corrosion on the base metal before painting. Soon after, the clean cast-iron must be painted in order to avoid the potential of “blush rust” which could occur in humid conditions creating rust on the surface the material before the paint is applied. There is a time constraint and urgency to getting paint onto the metal immediately after blasting with any abrasive. The cast-iron can be finished in two ways. The first option is to paint the material with a high tech, durable coating system. We recommend a zinc rich primer, followed by an epoxy Page 3 Salem Common Fence Restoration Condition Assessment March 30, 2012 CBI Job # 11195 intermediate coat, finished with a urethane top coat which gives it its UV protection and color. We suggest that each coat of paint be a different color so that if the paint is ever damaged the contractor can tell which coats are still intact and which need to be replaced. Also, by using different color coats, it is easy for the contractor, and the architect, to visually inspect the coverage of the paint before the next coat or type of paint is applied. Another option is to galvanize the metal using a either a hot dip system or an electro galvanic system. Hot dip is more durable. The drawback is that of the hot dip galvanizing process sometimes deforms the metal material and this is problematic with cast-iron as it could break. The electrostatic galvanizing process involves introduction of electric charge and when this paint is sprayed into the air, around the material, it is attracted to the electrified metal. This often creates a very uniform finish, however, touching up this finish in the field if damaged, is very difficult in the future. It also makes temporary protection of the new paint extremely important during transport to the site and, again, if it is damaged, it is very difficult to touch- up. We did not observe any accommodation for expansion throughout the entire fence except where sections of fencing were missing. Assuming they are replaced, there still is no way for the fence structure to accommodate movement from heat or cold. The top rail of the most fence sections is welded solidly to post. There exists a small bracket on each side of most posts which helps to support the top rail. In some cases the top rail is bolted into this tab (see Photo #14), however, most conditions are welded. It would be possible to physically cut the top rail from the post, create a slotted hole in the top rail and drill and tap into the bracket creating a detail for expansion on each side of the post throughout the fence. Each post bears on a granite base. Most bases are in good condition. (See Photo #15). The major deficiency is a cracked or broken corner which, in most cases, should not be repaired. There are a few concrete bases (see Photo #16) which are deteriorated and should be replaced with granite to match. There is always a debate as to whether or not this type of project and this type of fence material should be repaired on site, in the field, or removed to the shop. Because each fence panel is welded to the post, removal of the fence would involve a tremendous amount of destructive removals at each post. Therefore, new connections would have to be made, either by welding or drilling and tapping. Removing the fence in its entirety to the shop would provide uniform conditions where workers are in a controlled environment. This creates a more comfortable, clean, wind free, efficient work environment where various shop tools can be employed including overhead cranes, infills, clamps, etc. Not surprisingly, there are several unusual conditions: A tree is growing around one of the posts. (See Photo #18). Branches and roots also affect other posts of the fence. At a missing section of the fence, a support has been installed. It is unclear if the section was missing or if it was removed for this purpose. (See Photo #19). Page 4 Salem Common Fence Restoration Condition Assessment March 30, 2012 CBI Job # 11195 Improper Repair Techniques During the last renovation project, the Fence had several repairs performed that have not stood the test of time and are resulting in aesthetically unpleasing results and accelerated deterioration. The first example is the connection of the steel top rail to the cast-iron end post. In each case the rail is welded. However, it appears as if the connection was field welded and there was no effort to grind down or smooth out the weld. With only 6 inches available between the end post and the first picket, there is not enough room to get a grinder in that space in order to smooth out the welds. As a result, caulking was smeared over the top of the weld in order to fill in the valleys and gaps and create a canted surface that would shed water. While this may have worked for the first 10 years, or so, it is no longer the case. Water has gotten under the sealant and caused deterioration (by rusting) of the weld and the parent material. Compounding the difficulty is the shape of the end post which is fluted which would, again, make it hard to grind the weld smooth in the field with the first picket in place. Another example is where the existing pickets attach to the top of the continuous bottom rail. Each picket sits in a depression on top of the rail that is cast in. It is likely that the original detail included molten lead which would fill the space and create a sort of adhesive that would keep the bottom of the picket in place, fill the gap, and shed water. All of those lead plugs are missing, have deteriorated away, or been removed. The last renovation added sealant at this location in order to fill a gap, hold the picket place, and shed water. However, the sealant does not appear to be silicone and has once again only lasted about 10 years and as it delaminates it catches water behind the sealant causing accelerated deterioration of the cast-iron. Page 5 Salem Common Fence Restoration Condition Assessment March 30, 2012 CBI Job # 11195 Causes of Breakage/Loss The major culprit in the deterioration of the Salem Common Fence is impact by vehicles. Whatever deterioration is resulting from improper details is minor compared to the wholesale loss of entire fence sections because snowplows routinely push snow up to the fence in the winter and even impact the fence during that process. Or if vehicles jump the curb, swing wide, or directly impact the fence, the major reason why large sections of fencing are damaged or missing has to do with impact from vehicles adjacent to the Common Fence. Loose fence elements are then removed by Pedestrians as souvenirs. Certainly restoring the fence and providing details that do not accelerate deterioration are important. But the number one environmental factor causing widespread damage to the fence has nothing to do with the fence restoration and repair technology but the administrative control of the streets and environment around the fence. Page 6 Salem Common Fence Restoration Condition Assessment March 30, 2012 CBI Job # 11195 Recommendations In general, all work must comply with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for the Treatment of Cultural Landscapes. Our recommendations for individual components are as follows: 1. Most granite bases should remain. Minor chips look “historic”. Granite bases with severe breaks that look “damaged” should be replaced. 2. All concrete bases should be replaced with granite to match the existing. 3. We have proven that broken cast iron can be welded back together, but the cost is usually greater than replacement in kind as the number of broken pieces is low, we recommend replacement. 4. There are few broken support posts of which the broken part is still on site, is attached or is available. We recommend that instead of trying to repair the post that the broken portion be replaced. 5. Broken bottom rails, where all the pieces are still on site should be welded back together, as this is an expensive item to replace. 6. Broken balustrades should be replaced, again because they are too costly to repair. 7. The soil around the fence should be cut back, away from the fence, so it can breathe. 8. Expansion connections should be installed at each connection to a support post. 9. We recommend that the repair of the granite spalls at the entrance swinging gates be a low priority. However, when that work occurs, the granite should be repaired with granite Dutchmen in material to match the existing and the steel should be removed from the granite and new stainless steel inserts installed to remove this hazard. 10. The fence should be repainted on a regular basis. If the entire system is sandblasted and recoated with a high tech paint system, then repainting should only be needed periodically. We would recommend that touch-up occur on a yearly basis, major touch-up occur every five (5) years, and recoating occur every ten (10) years. The recoating would normally involve the urethane top coat unless any of the undercoat layers were damaged. In that case, they would have to be repaired and restored layer by layer. Regarding improper repair details, the new expansion joint detail at the top rail connection to the end support post will be performed in the shop, under controlled conditions, after the top rail had been removed. Therefore, there will be adequate access to reach the new expansion bracket, to be welded to the end post, for careful welding and grinding smooth to shed water. At the connection of each picket to the bottom rail, we propose a high performance silicone sealant with a lifespan of between 20 and 40 years in gloss black color. The parent surface Page 7 Salem Common Fence Restoration Condition Assessment March 30, 2012 CBI Job # 11195 must be clean and the shape of the sealant shall be canted to severely shed water from the joint area. We discussed how to reduce vehicle impact to the fence at the public meeting. Strategies included a neighborhood watch, surveillance cameras, increased police presence, and notifications to each snow plow operator with severe fines. These should be implemented by the City in any event. Physical barriers around the fence would be expensive (because of the vast scope) and would have an aesthetic impact on the fence, as well. They include bollards and large stone blocks. We prefer stone as they can be low profile and require no permanent foundation or attachment. They can be loose laid on the ground outside the fence at the curb across from all streets and driveways. Please note, the cost for this recommendation is not in the Construction Estimate. Page 8 Salem Common Fence Restoration Condition Assessment March 30, 2012 CBI Job # 11195 Modern Repair Materials In order to complete the renovation of the fence, modern repair materials and techniques will be used along with the traditional. In the past, cast-iron was not considered repairable. Cast- iron is extremely brittle and if it breaks there was never a way to "weld" it back together. Modern welding techniques now allow cast-iron material to be reattached using Certanium welding rods. Modern welding equipment which allows different levels of electrical power to enter the welding rod and effect the parent material, adjusting the heat level up and down, allow the welder to adjust the equipment to fit the chemistry and temperament of the broken cast-iron. Usually, the pieces requiring work should be cleaned, preheated, and back cut so that there is a groove available to be filled with welding material and ground smooth to match the original finish. Welders are currently using Certanium welding rods which appear to be the most compatible with the cast-iron material. While the welding technique has proven to work on this fence during our field testing, each Contractor will evaluate the cost and effort associated with welding versus recasting. It is possible that the Contractor may elect to simply replace the material instead of attempting a repair. Because the number of broken pieces is fewer than the number of missing pieces, this is not a major concern for this project. When this fence was originally constructed and assembled, the vertical pickets were seated in notches in the bottom rail and filled with molten lead. Lead is no longer being used because of various health and safety reasons. Now, in order to seat the material and create a bond, high-quality silicone sealants are being used. The important aspect of this process is to be sure that the substrate is completely clean prior to application, that the shapes are "canted" in order to shed water, and that the color matches the paint finish. Modern silicones can perform these tasks and if installed properly will give the fence a minimum of 20 years of service. Lead, while strong, is not extremely flexible. Eventually the lead deforms and openings occur between the cast-iron and the lead due to movement and expansion. Then water, through the “freeze/thaw process”, moves the pliable lead outward and the gaps increase, allowing even more water into the system. Therefore, the lead is not a viable solution either. The sealants as well as the paint become a future maintenance item. The paint system to be used on the project is a modern combination of paint that is so robust that it is designed to be submerged under seawater and is often used on oil rigs located in the North Sea. The system, while very durable, is not much more expensive than any industrial paint system but the thought and care given to using this system makes it a very long lasting and durable assembly that will protect the fence for a very long time with very little maintenance. The primer should be a zinc-rich material which will act as the sacrificial layer. This means that any rust or corrosion that begins to occur under the paint, because of a break in the system, would actually chemically dissolve due to the electrolytic action. This is a similar process as what occurs in marine applications where lead anodes are attached to the bottom of boat hulls to retard the corrosion of the metal on the boat. The anode wears away before the metal begins to rust. Page 9 Salem Common Fence Restoration Condition Assessment March 30, 2012 CBI Job # 11195 The second or intermediate coat is epoxy which provides the strength to protect the primer and form a base for the finish coat. It is extremely durable. The topcoat is a polyurethane finish which provides the color and the ultraviolet protection that the epoxy needs and the water shedding properties necessary keep the product dry. Each of these paint layers should be a different color. The advantage to this concept is that if the paint finish is ever damaged, and one or more layers are removed, only those topcoats that are damaged need to be reapplied. If the polyurethane coat is damaged and the primer and epoxy are still intact then, for example, only the topcoat needs to be touched up. This saves time and money and helps the maintenance staff appreciate and work with the three coat system to keep it intact. Page 10 Salem Common Fence Restoration Condition Assessment March 30, 2012 CBI Job # 11195 Preventative Maintenance Plan While we have determined that the majority of deterioration and damage on the existing fence has to do with vehicular impact, left unmaintained, the fence will deteriorate due to the elements. Therefore, preventive maintenance is required to be performed on the fence on a regular basis. While this is a long-term process, work should be done every year to maintain the integrity of the material as follows: 1. Inspect the fence yearly and touch up at severe scrapes, chips or damage to the fence. This is intended to be a one-day process and the intent is to use the black polyurethane topcoat at locations that are exposed. 2. Every 5 years a similar process should be performed where the entire fence is walked and inspected. This is intended to take approximately a week. Therefore, additional time and effort is spent in an effort to find all the scrapes and chips. All three paints should be on hand in order to repair the material that is exposed in a more thorough fashion. 3. Every 10 years the entire fence should be completely repainted. The process that takes place every five years should be implemented to be sure that the primer and epoxy coatings are intact and then the entire fence should be recoated with the black polyurethane finish topcoat. This process could take as much as a month and we recommend that it be performed by hand with brushes rather than by spray. Using brushes allows the painter to "jam" the material into the various cracks and crevices of the system providing protection to those hard to reach areas that might not be covered using a spray gun. Additionally, we suggest that the city initiate a relationship with one of the local (qualified) iron work Contractors to be on-call for repairs needed on a daily/weekly/monthly basis. Damage occurs quite often. If it can be addressed immediately, the party responsible can pay for the repairs and the historic fabric is less likely to be lost. This preventative maintenance program will ensure that the historic fabric of the fence will last as long as possible on site. Page 11 Salem Common Fence Restoration Condition Assessment March 30, 2012 CBI Job # 11195 Long-Term Maintenance Funding Alternatives The Salem Common Fence project is owned by the City of Salem. Therefore, the majority of funding will likely come from the City either through their capital fund, maintenance budget, or through a bond of some sort. We believe that the repair project described above, will promote awareness of the fence and create enthusiasm amongst the City's residents, especially those living in adjacent neighborhoods to the Common. This will, in turn, generate donations and funding enthusiasm. Private donations to cover the cost of renovation and repair, as well as ongoing maintenance, can be linked to dedications and recognition of donors at each fence location. For example, donors could sponsor a particular section with their name listed on a plaque adjacent to a particular fence section. Additionally, a master list could be created and kept on the web as well is at City Hall to commemorate the support of the various citizens/nei ghbors. We suggest that civic and private groups that use the Common should pay a fee that, in part, will go to maintaining and repairing the fence. The Salem Common Neighborhood Association could sponsor fundraisers which would help fund the cost of ongoing maintenance and repair. Sponsoring events on the Common that range from fun family events to educational preservation conference/seminar activities would also raise awareness and bring in experts from all over the country who could use this extremely historic and important fence as a catalyst for ornamental ironwork and cast -iron product awareness and industry buzz. All activities would help to bring money into the economy of the City of Salem which would use their City Administrative and Public Works resources to promote the fund-raising effort.

Repair Level Narrative Salem Common Fence Restoration March 30, 2012 During our field investigation, we photographed each fence section in the roughly the same format in order to understand the overall composition and condition as well as the condition of the support end posts and the individual elements needing care. All of the photographs and all of the Field Notes are included in Appendix A. We have attached examples of photographs and Field Notes for five different sections in order to help understand the repair levels that were determined on site. The five fence sections represent the five repair levels so that photographically we can see how the repair efforts increase for each level. Typical examples for each level are as follows: Repair Level I Fence section 234 $ 3,938.55 Repair Level II Fence section 70 $ 4,256.78 Repair Level III Fence section 168 $ 5,764.44 Repair Level IV Fence section 140 $ 8,473.63 Repair Level V Fence section 210 $12,826.00 Repair Level I requires the least amount of attention and includes the “standard” repair techniques being applied to all the fences. Those include removal of the fence from the site to the shop for repair, sandblasting to remove all the existing paint, rust, and scale, straightening of various fence elements to create a level, plumb, and true assembly, creation of expansion connections at each end of the top rail, painting with a high-tech, three coat paint system, transporting back to the site and reinstallation in place. Level I requires virtually no other repair. Estimated costs: $3,000-$4,000. Repair Level II includes all the techniques from Level I and includes very few cast-iron elements to be replaced that might be cracked or missing. Estimated costs: $4,000-$5,000. Level III includes all the repair techniques from Level II and includes additional repairs to replace more items that are cracked or missing, or that are deformed or displaced. Estimated costs: $5,000-$6,000. Level IV repairs include all the repairs from Level III. Level IV, however, is likely missing up to half of the existing pieces so that wholesale replacement begins to be very expensive. Estimated costs: $6,000-$9,000. Level V includes all the repairs from Level IV. Level V repair indicates a fence that is completely missing and must be replaced in its entirety. Estimated costs: $9,000-$14,000.

The costs are presented in three formats: 1. Overall renovation with summary of deficit items. 2. Overall costs per fence section. 3. Overall costs per repair level. The first spreadsheet is a tally of the entire project if performed all at once. This provides an overview of what it would take on a global basis. The total cost to restore the fence in one phase is $1,223,812. However, because funds are limited and phasing must occur it is important to determine how to break down the costs per fence element. This is how the second spreadsheet is arranged. The same field observations and unit costs are used but are tallied per line so that we understand the cost to renovate each section. Each section is defined as a structural end post and the body of the fence. There are 253 fence sections. Of that amount, 11 are entrances and contain bollards instead of fences. (There is one exception where a fence section is not at an entrance but contains bollards instead of a fence.) The per fence costs range from $2,000 to $14,000. Finally, in order to understand the levels of deterioration and how to group the repairs by severity, each fence section is grouped by repair level in the third spreadsheet. Level I is the least amount of work and Level V is the most severe, usually indicating that the fence is missing. The total costs for each level are as follows: Repair Level I $ 345,756 Repair Level II $ 520,883 Repair Level III $ 121,980 Repair Level IV $ 56,152 Repair Level V $ 179,040 TOTAL $1,223,812 Cost Estimate Full Restoration Salem Common Fence Restoration Salem, Massachusetts Cost Estimate Per Fence Section Salem Common Fence Restoration Salem, Massachusetts Cost Estimate Per Repair Level Salem Common Fence Restoration Salem, Massachusetts Phasing Narrative Salem Common Fence Restoration March 30, 2012 The City of Salem has determined that, based on available funding, two phases will be performed in this first round of repairs.

DESIGN ASSESSMENT Describe the design features of the object and evaluate in terms of other similar types of objects within the community. The cast-iron Salem Common Fence, installed in 1850 in Salem, Massachusetts, encloses the 9-acre tract of public land historically known as Washington Square. At approximately five (5) feet tall, the fence runs along the majority of the 1/2 mile long perimeter of the park and features three large entrance ways facing two of the Washington Square intersections and the corner of Williams Street and North Washington Square. The fence is divided into 253 sections, each comprised of a post and an eight-foot long infill fence panel and each created from the same pattern. At the various entrances throughout the fence structure there are also a number of bollards, some of which are historic and others which are temporary and modern. In many instances, the City of Salem has installed modern steel pipes with screw tops at these locations, likely because they were easier and cheaper to procure at the time and possibly after the existing historic bollards were either stolen or damaged by vehicles. The Salem Common Fence, with the exception of the top rail (which is a malleable, mild steel), is a structure comprised entirely of cast-iron elements. Cast-iron is an alloy with a high carbon content (at least 1.7% and usually 3.0 to 3.7%) that makes it more resistant to corrosion. While it is extremely easy to cast and can take almost any shape in which a mold can be created, it does not lend itself to fine detail and it has structural strength issues. These material characteristics are evident in the construction and current condition of the fence. The typical fence panel consists of a post with a decorative capital, an octagonal shaft, and a mildly decorative granite base. It appears as if these posts were cast in two (2) separate pieces. A small "pineapple" exists as a finial at the top of each and is connected to a steel rod which is threaded at the top and bottom. At the top, the pineapple is connected to the rod and, at the bottom, the threads connect to a steel plate which is cast in or fastened to the granite base. Tightening the rod attached to the pineapple secures the post and creates the structural strength to hold the post in place and keep it from tipping. The fence infill panel, located between the posts, consists of a considerably ornate decorative bottom rail, featuring a series of eight crossed sections, each bearing a rosette at its center. This bottom rail accepts the cast-iron vertical balusters that penetrate the top rail and are capped by two (2) different, alternating spearhead designs. The details of the balustrades are also two (2) different designs corresponding to the spearheads. Thus, when taken as a whole, the fence presents an understated decorative effect with clean lines and a traditional, neoclassical design that is very much in keeping with its age and its surrounding neighborhood. To quote one contemporary chronicler of the City of Salem, George Adams: “the pattern of the iron railine is neat, and not elaborate… the effect of the whole is very fine.” (Adams, 1851) As it exists today, the fence retains much of this original appeal and only bears a few non-uniform sections which have been modified to contain swinging gates. The support posts are granite and the gates match the fence with the steel set into recesses created in the granite. Not surprisingly, there are also several unusual conditions which have developed over the past 162 years. As can be expected, the fence has suffered from general deterioration over time, both natural and as the result of outside forces, such as vehicular, animal and human interference. In an effort to contain this, through various restoration and repair projects, it has become clear that the fence has been created in different eras. It appears as if different molds were used at different times to create entire fence sections and/or smaller replacement pieces. Either that or the quality of the casting has varied from project to project. There has also been the inevitable encroachment of the surrounding environment including a tree which is growing around one of the posts, and various branches and root systems which have come to affect other sections of the fence. In terms of the design of the fence in relation to the surrounding “lived” environment, the Sa lem Common Fence is an integral part of the Washington Square and McIntire Historic neighborhoods. The city boasts a number of nationally recognized historic districts and monuments and, as a whole, is considered one of the most important and cohesive resources for early American INVENTORY FORM C CONTINUATION SHEET SALEM, MA Salem Common MASSACHUSETTS HISTORICAL COMMISSION Area(s) Form No. 220 MORRISSEY BOULEVARD, BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS 02125 Continuation sheet 2 architecture in the country. The Salem Common and its adjoining neighborhood, a focal point for the local community since it was first established in 1714, remains one of the city’s most well known and visible examples of this unique heritage. In 1802, when the Common was graded and landscaped for enhanced public access, the Washington Square District became a desirable area for residential development. “A number of the city’s leading merchants built imposing neo-classical mansions facing the Common… A number of houses in various revival styles were later built on remaining lots, resulting in an impressive concentration of early to mid-19th century dwellings.” (Salem’s Historic Districts) As such, the park is surrounded by a number of well-preserved Federalist, Neoclassical and Revivalist structures, including the Essex Institute, the Gothic Revival-style East Church, which now houses the Witch Museum, and a number of historic homes, such as the Gardner-Pingree House (1804-5), the Forrester-Peabody House (1818-19), and the Joseph Story House (1811). The Salem Common Fence, with its traditional, neoclassical design, is a reflection of the overarching aesthetic of Salem and is a unifying element for the neighborhood. The fence also acts as a bridge to one of the city’s most famous residents, Samuel McIntire, whose name has become synonymous with neoclassical architecture in America and who “will ever be inseparably associated with the Common.” (Cousins, 1916). McIntire was responsible for the design of many of the most prominent homes and municipal buildings in Salem, including a number of structures which are situated within the Salem Common neighborhood, and his influence is one of the most unifying aesthetic elements of the city. In 1805, 45 years prior to the installation of the current fence, McIntire was contracted by the citizens of Salem to decorate the Common entrances with large, ornate wooden arches. These entranceways were celebrated in their day and his carvings are considered to be indicative of the neoclassical style of his work and the Federalist era. While the cast-iron fence was designed and installed after McIntire’s death, the style was very much in keeping with the great architect’s legacy. This is clearly evident when we compare the details of the fence, especially the decorative capitals and “pineapple” and rosette detailing, to the surviving residential and municipal wood-carvings of McIntire. In effect, the people of Salem were aware of their architectural history and had set out to create a coherent stylistic language for their city. The Salem Common Fence is a living part of this history and is a testament to the pride the people of Salem feel for their civic and cultural heritage. HISTORICAL NARRATIVE Explain the history of the object and how it relates to the development of the community. The Salem Common, an approximately 9-acre plot of land in downtown historic Salem, has been referred to as one of the great early examples of community-based planning in the country and both the park and its fence have a deeply-rooted connection to the history and heritage of Salem. Located between the three intersecting Washington Square streets (named cardinally), and established less than 100 years after the city was founded in 1626, this parcel of land was marked out by the people of Salem as an area that would always remain at the disposal of the community. “The commoners, on 16th of November, 1714, voted, that the spot “where the trainings are generally kept, before Nathaniel Higginson’s house shall be forever as a training field for the use of Salem.” (Felt, 1845) At this time, the landscape bore a markedly different character than it does today and was described as “much diversified, having several ponds and hillocks” (Adams, 1851). During this time, and considering the topography, the land was used for military drills, communal grazing ground for livestock, and as leased land for a number of different temporary structures, including an alms-house and a school. It was not until the turn of the next century that the people of Salem began to reconsider the needs of the community and the most advantageous use of the land. In 1801, in an initiative spearheaded by Elias Haskett Derby, a member of one of the most prominent families in the city and a colonel in the local militia, a committee of Salem residents elected to undertake an aggressive urban landscaping project that would completely change the nature of the park. Utilizing privately contributed funds, totaling about $2,500, the common was leveled and about one hundred elms and poplars were planted. A year later, upon the completion of this initial project, the City voted to officially rename the park Washington Square, in honor of the famous statesman who had often visited the city. Shortly afterwards, in 1805, in an effort to further integrate the public green into the fabric of the community, “contributions were made by individuals and the town, for the erection of its eastern and western gates. Being designed, ar ched, and ornamented by Mr. INVENTORY FORM C CONTINUATION SHEET SALEM, MA Salem Common MASSACHUSETTS HISTORICAL COMMISSION Area(s) Form No. 220 MORRISSEY BOULEVARD, BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS 02125 Continuation sheet 3 Samuel McIntire, a noted architect, they do much to honor his taste.” (Felt, 1845) This contribution by McIntire is of great historic importance to the City of Salem. Regarded as one of the leading architects of his day, his wor k is perhaps the most unifying stylistic feature of Salem and is commonly referred to as a quintessential example of Federalist-era architecture. Examples of his work are seen in municipal, commercial and prominent residential properties throughout the city, including many homes within the Salem Common neighborhood itself. His involvement with the Washington Square project solidifies the importance and visibility of the park to the citizens of the city at that time. Throughout the early 19th century, there were continued efforts to improve the Common, including the upgrade to a more “substantial railing” around the perimeter of the park in 1817. This new fence, constructed out of wood, was lauded as adding “much to the worth and beauty of its environs.” (Felt, 1845). Within twenty years, however, the integrity of the fence and the McIntire gates had been compromised, as is inevitable given their material and exposure to the elements, and in 1850 the current cast-iron fence was installed as a permanent replacement. In many ways this decision was the culmination of the ongoing Common beautification efforts and was considered a success by the people of Salem: “The new fence, including the gateways, was erected under the direction of Messrs. Denio, Cheney & Co., of Boston, the contractors; the length is 2584 feet and 6 inches, and cost $7,050. The work is done in a most excellent and perfect manner; the pattern of the iron railine is neat, and not elaborate: the gateway on the westerly side presents a beautiful appearance, and the effect of the whole is very fine.” (Adams, 1851) The design of this new fence stayed true to the celebrated McIntire carvings which had, until that time, adorned the entranceway arches. (These were removed and given to the Essex Institute, who have preserved and displayed them in various ways as a commemoration of Salem’s history since that time.) In fact, the fence was much in keeping with the Federalist/Neoclassical style that had been championed by McIntire and which has come to define the historic areas of Salem. In this way, the Salem Common Fence has been instrumental in creating a sense of aesthetic harmony within the neighborhood directly surrounding the Common as well as creating a sense of cohesion throughout the city as a whole. In the century following the installation of the fence there was little alteration made to the Salem Common, apart from a limited amount of general maintenance work that went into its upkeep and when the Common was recognized by the National Historic Register as a Historic Property, in 1976, the neglect and wear of those past hundred years had become undeniably apparent. (NPS, 1979) The official classification of the property, which includes the historic fence, seems to have revitalized the community’s commitment to the preservation of the park and it has undergone a series of restoration and rehabilitation projects since that time. Two of the biggest projects that have been undertaken, to date, occurred in the 1980’s and again in the early 2000’s. In the early 1980’s, shortly after the park’s reclassification as a Historic Property, the city officially recognized the widespread deterioration of the Common and its fence and began planning for its rehabilitation. According to the Salem Common Neighborhood Association, who have made it their mission to preserve and restore the Common fence, there were at least 80 sections of fence missing in 1980. The city began applying to various grant programs and making small repairs with what money they were able to procure until, in 1986, they received a substantial grant from the Department of Environmental Management for a major overhaul of the Common; an amount totaling $604,434. The City contributed an additional $247,384.80 to the project, bringing the project budget to nearly $850,000. According to the legal agreement between the city and the DEM, the Scope of Work focused heavily on the perimeter of the park: “The design completes the site’s perimeter definition and restores the interior lawn area and pathways to create an aesthetically pleasing and functional space. Restoration of the cast iron fence and perimeter tree planting scheme enhance the historic quality of the Common.” The firm Cassidy Brothers Forge, Inc. was hired to complete the fence restoration portion of this program and, according to the company’s promotional material, they were able to restore the entirety of the ½ mile long fence, including 900 feet of new cast -iron sections. In 1999, the City bid out and awarded $32,000 to DeAngelis Iron Work, Inc. for further fence restoration work. This project included the installation of 21 temporary pipe bollards (in place of the more costly cast-iron), the repair and re-anchoring of the INVENTORY FORM C CONTINUATION SHEET SALEM, MA Salem Common MASSACHUSETTS HISTORICAL COMMISSION Area(s) Form No. 220 MORRISSEY BOULEVARD, BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS 02125 Continuation sheet 4 fence posts, replacement of missing pickets and painting of all repair work. (Connelly, 1999). These bollards, as indicated in the Salem Historical Commission’s Certificate of Non-Applicability, dated 10 February 2000, were intended to be a short term solution and were not considered to be in accordance with the historic standards of the City. In 2000, the Salem Common Restoration project received a Historic Landscape Preservation grant for $20,000 of the requested $67,000. The city was required to contribute a 36% of this amount, bringing the total funds to $31,250. The Scope of Work for this project intended to: “restore sections of the cast metal fence, repair several period lighting fixtures in the site, repair and refinish the McInt ire Arch, and install additional landscaping.” The fence work included the replacement of missing sections, various spot repairs and replacing a number of the temporary bollards with permanent decorative bollards. Given the shortage of funding, the City of Salem also organized an event, in accordance with Historic Commission guidelines, to celebrate the 150th Anniversary of the fence by enlisting the community to paint the entirety of the structure in an hour. The firm Waters and Brown prepped the fence, according to the Technical Specifications, and provided free paint and brushes for the entire corps of volunteers. This show of support from the local community is indicative of the continued importance the people of Salem place on the preservation of the fence and their cultural heritage. The most recent restoration work on record for the fence is two separate efforts, in 2001 and 2002, to replace at least 14 of the pipe bollards with more historically appropriate cast -iron bollards. Given this history of intermittent and under-funded preservation efforts, it is not surprising that the current level of deterioration for the fence, as a whole, remains poor. It has gotten to such a point that, in 2007, it was placed on Historic Salem Inc’s “Most Endangered” list. The organization’s stance on this issue is well defined in the Managing Director’s grant recommendation letter to the DEM in 2000: “The ‘Common’ is a high profile property and as such, sets the tone for the historic and architecturally significant adjacent areas… In short, Salem Common is integral to the City’s quality of life, and to our economic health as well as our cultural and historic heritage.” (Busteed, 2000). Its rehabilitation has also become one of the major priorities for the Salem Common Neighborhood Association and has historically garnered widespread popular support. In March 2012, the City of Salem, in collaboration with the Massachusetts Historical Commission, applied for a Massachusetts Preservation Projects Fund (MPPF) grant in the amount of $100,000. The intended scope of this project includes the restoration of the fences and bollards flanking entrances # 1 through #8, and #11, with entrances #9 and #10 included as potential Add Alternates. The project has been broken down into two phases. Phase I, totaling $50,000, will be paid by the City and all work is based on the parameters of the Grant. Phase II, with a total budget of $200,000 is intended to utilize the Grant funds with matching amounts by the City.
