BUILDING FORM 100 Derby Street
ARCHITECTURAL DESCRIPTION See continuation sheet.
Describe architectural features. Evaluate the characteristics of this building in terms of other buildings
within the community.
This two-and-a-half-story, three-bay, center-entry, gable-front building is
two bays deep. The slight overhang of the second floor is in keeping with the
treatment of store buildings built during the early and mid-19th century.
Greek Revival details include broad eaves, frieze and gable returns.
Characteristic of window detail on most Salem buildings of all different
periods, window frames are molded. Fenestration consists primarily of 2/2,
double-hung sash with 6/2 windows in the gable, 8/B lights in the paired and
tripart windows. The double window on the second floor level double and
triple windows at the ground floor likely reflect changes made during the
early 20th century (ca. 1915-1940's?). The pedimented door frame seems to
have been added even more recently. According to a 1978 report by Joyce King,
the present placement of the door on Derby Street dates to 1968-1973. It was
previously located on the corner of the Carlton Street elevation.
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.
Documentary research suggesting the existing building dates from the mid-19th
century is substantiated by Greek Revival elements in the structure.
Buildings have apparently been located on this property as early as 1822 when
it was sold to William Fairfield, master mariner. The deed indicates the
land, but not the buildings were sold to Fairfield. It is unclear whether
they remained on the lot or were moved or demolished. It was common during
the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries for buildings along Derby Street to be
erected on rented land and removed at the expiration of the lease.
After William Fairfield's death in 1825, his wife, Margaret (d. 1872),
rented out the property. Tax records indicate that a building was
on this site in 1854. In that year, the shop of Enoch Goodwin, who lived at
10 Carlton Street, was listed at 54 (now 100) Derby Street.
Successive, mid-19th century tax records show that during much of
Margaret Fairfiled's ownership the building was used as a shop. Between 1859
and 1865, it was the paint shop of Andrew Gage. From 1867 to 1868, it was
listed as the shop of G. Berry.
While the building seems to have served as a residence during the late
nineteenth century, it was again used for commercial purposes during the early
twentieth century. Directory listings show it as Salem Drug Company in 1915,
a vacant store in 1917, F. Magid, grocery and Jos. A. Archis, grocery in 1918,
S. Dubiel, grocery in 1924. The 1958 Sanborn map still shows the building as
a store.

HISTORICAL NARRATIVE (continued)
During the early 20th century, many small stores were located along this
section of Derby Street. Faced with competition from supermarkets and
convenience stores they gradually closed during the 1960's. Most have been
converted to residential use.
