The building is one of Salem's earliest and most distinguished brick mansions. Its original lot, which had a commanding view of the harbor, was slightly over 1/2 acre. The lot has since been reduced to its present size of 7,818 sq. feet. Because of land fill and new street patterns, it now faces Front Street and downtown Salem. At present the location of the house is strategic;it is situated at the gateway of Salem's award-winning urban renewal area, and provides an essential stability to the downtown area. Joshua Ward, a prominent Salem resident, purchased the property on August 11, 1781, re- moved an existing house, and built the present mansion between 1784 and 1787. According to James Duncan Phillips, the Salem historian, "The Joshua ward house stood well back from the street and was terraced up in front. It had a beautiful view looking directly down the harbor. i; The house is a square, three story, Federal style building with brick masonry laid in Flemish bond. Molded brick is used extensively in the cornice, the water table, and in the two broken string courses which define the second and third floor levels. The unusual broken hip roof originally carried a balustrade at the break in levels. Two tall inside end chimneys rise at both the north and south elevations. The 5 bay wide facade faces east toward Washington St. Fenestration is varied from story 1 to story, typical of Federal design. The first story windows are 8/8; the second story windows are narrower and 6/6; the third story windows are the smallest, and 6/6. All are framed by wide, molded architraves, painted white. The first and second story windows are headed by segmental arches. The north&south elevations are asymmetrical, four bays deep,with fenestration identical to that on the facade. The west (rear) elevation repeats the design of the other elevations. There is a small one story, "Colonial" flat roof addition added after 1932 It has an off center entrance portico. This small pedimented Doric portico has four columns. The flat roof of the extension has an iron balustrade. Centered French doors from the second floor lead out onto this "porch"-. Samuel McIntire is believed to have designed the interior finish. The stairway is Salem's oldest surviving McIntire box stairway and is an example of a type found in several of McIntire's early houses. The stairway is composed of sturdy balusters in the form of Roman Doric columns, conical in proportion and detail.. The multiplied casings of the rail, and the broken padiment above the door on,the landing reveal the survival, of Baroque in- fluence from the mid 18th century. There are twelve fireplaces in the building, several of which reflect the .Mclntire style. Much of the interior finish remains intact, some has been covered in place, and some has been put in storage by the present owner. During the mid - 19th Century, Dr. Joseph Emerson Fisk owned the building, and in 1855 built a large brick structure to the southeast of the house, extending to the street line. It was first used as a -storehouse,and was later annexed to the house. Another long four .story structure,_ since demolished, was built adjacent to the southern wall of the addition, and the entire grouping, including the Ward House, was used as a boarding house and later as a hotel from 1891 to 1937. The southern portion of the Wash- ington Street storefront was built in 1855.

The interior of the mansion was designed by the renowned Salem architect, Samuel McIntire, and includes the earliest surviving example of a McIntire box stairway. The house originally had a prominent view of the Salem Harbor and South River. These waterways have since been filled in, and the area has developed into Salem's central business district; the Ward House now . f dominates the southern entrance to the downtown area. Unfortunately, the additions and billboards in the front of the building camouflage it, but possible removal of the store I front and restoration of the terraced lawn would add value to the houses' definition of the entrance to the area. The site was once owned by George Corwin, the infamous . Sheriff of Essex associ- ated with Salem's witchcraft trials in 1692. Joshua Ward, a prosperous merchant, ship- owner, and a re nowned patriot purchased the property, and built the house between 17. and 1787. It was a dwelling through the mid-19th Century. Dr. Joseph E. Fisk, a dentist, added the storehouse in 1855, which was subsequently connected to the larger building and used as a boarding house and a hotel from 1891-1937. It was known as the Fisk House, Washington House, and New Washington House. The storefront addition of 1921 completed the conversion to a commercial property. i The Ward House is historically significant because George Washington stayed there in room #34 on the second floor (northeast chamber) during his visit to Salem on October 29, 1789. After describing the festivities of that day, Bently wrote: The General then retired to the House of Mr. Joshua Ward, which is situated below the Old Church at the Entry of the Town from Marblehead. It is a large Brick House on the west side of the street. This assignation was made at the General's particular request." ! Salem historian, James Duncan Phillips, wrote: "Amid the cheers of the assembled multitude he then retired to Mr. Joshua Ward's house, a large brick house which stood on a terrace on the westerly side of Washington Street, where he had desired to stayin preference to Captain Boardman's newly built house on the east side of the Common which had been sug- gested. At Mr. 'Ward's house a reception was held when the President "received the compli- ' ments of many different classes' of people, as he'says in his Diary. Ward was a rich and prominent merchant, but his connection with Washington is not recorded." In a newspaper clipping are the recollections of a Mrs. Putnam, whose grandmother was a small child in the Ward House, and remembered being tossed in the arms of a tall general. I Long afterwards people would come to the house and touch in awe the door latch and bed he had touched", she told her grandchildren. 1 MAJOR BIBLIOGRAPHICAL REFERENCES Reardon, Elizabeth K. , Salem Historic District Study Committee Investigation, 1968.

The first floor has undergone numerous alterations. The building was vacated in .1937 and was slated for demoliton the following year. The four chimneys were blown down on two occasions, first on November 11, 1788, and again in the hurricane of 1938, at which time the house was damaged. Historic American A Buildings Survey drawings had been completed in 1937 and the house was repaired to its original appearance. Currently, the storefront is vacant and a portion at the Ward House is rented. The entire property is for sale.

In 1846 Joseph E. Fisk, a dentist , was living at that address, Dr. Joseph Emerson Fisk was born in 1811 at Heath, Massachusetts, and married in 1837, Rebecca Ann Shattuck of Bradford, Massachusetts, daughter of Meshank and Rebecca (Marshall) Shattuck, who died in 1$$4, two years after her husband. They had six children, all daughters, of which two lived with their father and continued at the +ashington Street house which he had bought. Neither was married and after the death of Miss Ella li1heelock, in 1909, Piss Charline Shattuck removed to $3 Federal Street. In 1855 Dr. Fisk built a large brick building on the south-east of the big house, extending to the street line. It was first used as a storehouse and later was annexed to the old house, which had become a hotel or boardinghouse, known as the Washington House from 1891/92 to 1937, when it was vacated. In 1936, when it was the Old Washington House, the mansion was slated for demolition and 'fiarner Brothers contemplated building a theatre on the site. The old house survived this project , however, and also a severe battering by the hurricane of 1938. Some Account of Houses and Othe Buildings in Salem From a Manuscript of the Col. Benj.

As the owner of Giblee' s Mier' s Wea-^ 1 shall be affected by the design scheme generated ?=m this study. As a result, I thoughth it would beoo-:-e to express my opinion. Behind my storefront standsJoshua Ward House which I use for office and i'- '' , ., pur- poses in connection with my busir_ess . `_ce `acing . Washing_ton Street , the Joshua War-" o_-seis a i°ederal structure which has served: a multitude c ' uses .throuh the ye=rs due to its strategic dolr-nto- location. While there is no question that my present ,. e o_ the building is not in keepin, with its conceivable>-andeur, I must come to my defense . P:luch of the ; uteric- detailing remains intact ; similarly much of the r:ork which has been dismantled is still in my posse�;sioa. As ,you may kno:v, Samuel 67cIntire determined th ; interior woodwork finishings in the house, and the stairway is credited as being the earliest survivi^� e- mPle of a i. cIntire type - one with sturdy baluste- in the form of Doric columns , very canonical its -=,)ort-ons and d-etailing. As you can see , I have -=.,Pi an interest in the house - even to -the extent of obtaining informa- tion and pictures from the Library of ^ess in Washington, D. C . Unfortunately, eco::^o.-•ic realities have precluded my serious cons ide- tion r= significantly improving the appearance of the Joshua .:aha Nouse . 1_ v-1 19 WASHINGTON STREET _ is LIBERTY TREE MALL SALEM,MA55. 01970 �;p p�,,� J' W 7441539 !-i(c_7 p� Sf Df.YV cF'S, MASS. 0192,1 W `� ])4-1030 9 , Through the years a number of persons have approached me regarding the building - somev;ith thoughts of purchase , while others have been interested strictly in the interior ..00dwork. Naturally I mould like to see the Ward House restored ; but neither I no.- former orformer prospective buyers ,ave had the financial profile to carry out such a scheme . }riot only is money essential for -the restoration itself, but also there _' the task of researching the house in order to restore it authentically. I realize that the gist of this proposal is to develop a plan - that the funding will not be for "bricks and mortar. " It is -my f. eel.ing that this study could generate constructive , financial interest in the riard House as well as the other commercial buildings , on ti:e block'. I s`tronhly ur,;e you to consider this proposal and the dynamic role it could play in enhancing downtown Salem. I , as . a businessman and property o,:,mer, ap- rove of -the proposal, commend Historic Salem, Inc . for its efforts , and shall cooperate in whatever way I can. Sincerely, �/ Hobert Gibeley v
