Dear Sir or Madam:
Walter Abbott owned and occupied 4 Andover Street from 1920 to
1950 . Around 1940, like many Salem residents he purchased a
prefabricated, metal garage from the Whettredge Portable Buildings
Company in Lynn. The garage was sturdy
and functional. But in the context
of 18th century homes, it was also f
ugly. Walter Abbott understood this . `
compromise between esthetics and
practicality, and it was probably
this understanding_ that led him to
locate the garage at the rear of the
property. The Salem Historic
Commission would later verbalize this
land development philosophy, when it
made " . . .a clear distinction between
changes which would be appropriate for
the principal elevations of a building 4 Andover St .
and those acceptable at rear, private,
' family-living' sections. " (Salem Historical Commission Guidelines
Notebook, 1984, p. 1 . )
If Walter Abbott had been willing and able to pay the higher
oost of an emphasis on esthetics, he probably would have instead
constructed a garage of wood, perhaps just like the one on the other
side of Andover Street, directly across
from his driveway. This garage has
clapboarded sides and a shingled roof,
which make it appear an extension of the
elegant Federal Street home (#112) to
112 Federal St. which it belongs. This garage sits just
off the street, unashamedly.
Walter Abbott' s garage has suffered from many years of neglect .
Although the structure is still solid, its doors and their hinges
have rusted away beyond repair, and need to be replaced. The
question is, with what?
It would be nice if there were a carriage house on that corner of
the property, perhaps like the one behind the Pierce-Nichols house.
But there isn' t. It' s a metal garage, with a useful life ahead of
it well into the next century, and therefore it is not appropriate
to try and make something of the garage which it is not . According
to the Secretary of the Interior' s Standards of Rehabilitation, "all
buildings shall be recognized as products of their own time.
Alterations that have no historical basis and which seek to create
an earlier appearance shall be discouraged. " (Paraphrased in the
Salem Historical Commission Guidelines Notebook, p. 3. )
Some will say, unthinking, replace it exactly as it was. That
approach has obvious merit when the goal is to preserve the
architectural delicacies of a bygone era. It is clearly
inappropriate, however, when considering cancerous atrocities spewed
into our neighborhood by the stark and impersonal technology of mass
production before the guidance of the Salem Historical Commission,
like the Whettredge Portable Buildings Company' s metal garages.
These features are no doubt interesting, in a sociological sense,
but they are a visual blight on the integrity of the neighborhood.
There is a solution, however, and that it to replace the garage
doors in the way one might wish that Walter Abbott had built them
originally, staying within the Interior Secretary' s guidelines of
recognizing the garage as a product of its own time (which is 1940,
not the eighteenth century) . Mr. Abbott might have better blended
the doors, at least, if not the entire garage, into the neighborhood
by constructing them of wood. It might not have been necessary to
go to the expense of the all-wood garage across the street; he Gould
have framed the doors in wood while still realizing the savings of a
prefabricated metal back, sides and roof .
A good example of an identical garage, with doors replaced in a
manner appropriate to the period
of the garage, yet blending
gracefully into the 18-19th
century elegance, sits proudly
near the corner of Hamilton
and Chestnut Streets . On this
garage, the original metal
doors have been replaced with
wooded overhead doors, framed
in wood. This is what I want
to do to my garage, including
wood clapboards (to match the Chestnut and Hamilton Sts .
house) over the doors .
Such doors are readily available, and could be like the Model 270
(with lites) specified in attachment #1.
Yours truly, r

NOTICE OF DENIAL OF APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF
APPROPRIATENESS
RE: 4 Andover Street
On Wednesday, November 7 , 1990 , the Salem Historical
Commission unanimously denied an application for a
Certificate of Appropriateness from Joel & Walter Caron for
their property at 4 Andover Street regarding the replacement
of a fence. The application was denied due to chain link
fencing being an historically inappropriate material for an
18th century house and that such fences go against the
guidelines of the Salem Historical Commission. I attest
that this is an accurate record of the vote taken, not
amended or modified in any way to this date.

Dear Madams/Sirs :
Recently, it has come to the attention of the Salem Historical

inappropriate and must be removed within 30 days .
Should Massachusetts Electric be unable to install the meters
where they will not be visible from the public way (e.g. rear lot
line facade or inside the basement) , one of the enclosed
applications must be submitted for review by the Salem Historical
Commission. If you need assistance, please contact Jane Guy, the
Clerk of the Commission at the Salem Planning Department, One Salem
