Grand Mansions and Sailors' Lodgings: The Architecture of Salem, Massachusetts

Join me for a private walking tour of Salem's really interesting architecture to see where and how residents of this prospering port lived and worked, worshiped and frolicked, governed and litigated from the 1600s to the 1900s.

Inshore fishing and coastal trade enabled the settlement to develop rapidly along the waterfront, where many widows kept boarding houses and a few highly successful ship owners occupied substantial manor houses like the House of the Seven Gables.

In time these grandees moved "uptown" and competed with one another to build the most impressive mansion on Salem Common or Chestnut Street, "the most beautiful street in America. " Handsome public buildings confirmed the taste and community pride of Salem's citizens.

See Salem with an expert! Donald is not only a Boston native and resident of Salem's McIntire District since 2005, but an architectural historian specializing in early America, who was Director of the Historic Deerfield museum for 28 years.

The House of the Seven Gables is a most unusual example of a grand house surviving from the first century of New England settlement. In dwellings like this great merchants and political leaders lived and carried on their own pursuits and government business. Its steep roofs and many gables recall English manor houses of the same period.

The Narbonne House, built around 1672, is characteristic of the homes of middling inhabitants of colonial Salem. Originally two rooms and an attic, it was enlarged in the mid-1700s by the addition of a gambrel-roofed ell. Here lived fishermen, mariners, shipwrights, and other craftsmen with their families or as boarders.

The Capt. John Hodges House is a classic example of the Georgian style. Its symmetrical facade, fan-lit and pedimented doorway, powerful corner quoins, and dormer windows all derive inspiration from Georgian England, while its roof reminds us how long the gambrel was used in Salem. This house attests to the wealth that ship captains amassed in Salem and the the sophistication that they acquired at the ports-of-call on their ocean voyages.

The North Church, now the First Church of Salem, erected in 1835-36, is a rare example of the Gothic Revival style in this neoclassical city.
