DESCRIBE THE PRESENT AND ORIGINAL, (if known) PHYSICAL APPEARANCE

The Salem Maritime National Historic Site, composed of about nine acres of urban waterfront, contains seven historic buildings, one historic foundation, and two historic wharves. All buildings andstructures have been altered from their original appearance through 300 tc?140 years of use and of restoration. All structures, as a historical complex, are of 1st order of significance.

1. Custom House and Bonded WarehouseBuilt in 1819 of red brick with a hip roof, major changes were made

in 1854 with the addition of the cupola and the fireproof vault, and other changes made throughout the years as described in the historic structures report. Partial rehabilitation on the exterior and interior reflect and preserve the changes which have occured from 1819 to 1939. The exterior most closely represents and combines 1819 and 1854 condi­ tions. The interior has a cut-off date of 1904 (1847 for the Surveyor's Office) with some historic period furnished rooms, but modern uses (visitor contact facility, park offices, maintenance area) prevent com­ plete restoration. The interior of the Bonded Warehouse is little changed from its 1819 and 1854 appearance, and contains original hoisting equipment (functional) and samples of cargos.

Their present condition is good Treatment recommended: Preservation Prelininary Cost Estimate for Above $10,000/yr. Photograph enclosed

2. Derby House' ^li'A brick structure, ^stories, built in 1761, with a kitchen ell

added about1 1810, the house has been restored exteriorly to its original appearance (front and sides pre-Revolutionary^ rear early 19th century). Interiorly the house is restored and furnished in a somewhat mixed appearance, generally representing a home of rather modest size of a successful merchant of the late Colonial, Revolutionary, and early Federal periods. Its present condition is good.

Treatment recommended: Preservation Prelininary Cost Estimate for Above $3,000/yr Photograph enclosed

3. Narbonne HouseA two-story, clapboarded wood frame building on stone foundations.

The first part was built around 1670 with major additions through the 18th century and minor changes through the 20th century. Still is a rare example of 17th century architecture and one of the older houses in Massachusetts. At the present time the house is being preserved for use as an architectural exhibit.

Second and third floors were adapted for living quarters. It is in good condition.

Treatment recommended: Exterior preservation/restoration Preliminary cost estimate for above: $100,000 Photograph enclosed

6. The Scale House;Built in 1829 of red brick with a gabled slate roof. It was a depen­

dency of the Custom House and serjived as a storage place for weighing apparatus and measuring devices used on Salem wharves in the 19th century, The building was restored in 1965 and is in excellent condition, except for some brick decay.

7. Derby Wharf (continued)

1938-39, the wharf is approximately as it appeared after 1812. The east half of the wharf surface was at various times lined with warehouses. A countinghouse stood at the Northwest corner along Derby Street (1767-1819) All warehouses were demolished by the early 20th century. A U.S. Coast Guard Lighthouse, built about 1871, occupies the extreme tip of the wharf, and modern small boat-docking facility is attached to the wharf's east side. The condition of the wharf is poor*

8. Central Wharf;Built in the 1790's, the wharf was restored in 1939 to an approximation

of its original appearance. Several warehouse buildings have been built on the wharf and demolished, but little is known about them except for the Forrester Warehouse, taken<rffown around 1947. At the present time the wharf is in fair condition.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE

New England shipping played an important role in the economic development of the new United States. Salem is one example of early New England shipping and at, Sa.lem Maritime National Historic Site are two wharves with origins in the late 18th century as well as other structures contributing to a vignette of an early 19th century waterfront.

During the Revolutionary War Salem was the only major American port not closed by the British. Salem merchants were able to keep an average of 50 ships and privateers at sea at all times, harrassing and capturing British shipping and providing supplies and materials to the Continental Army. Derby Wharf was the base for much of this privateering activity.

Following the war Salem merchants and seamen explored new trade routes with the rest of the world, opening and establishing trade with China, India, Sumatra, and similar ports, continuing trade with European and Mediterranean ports, making contacts with Japan 50 years before Commodore Perry, and other pioneering voyages, ,whic,h were followed up by the larger ports of Boston and New York. Customs duties provided 95% of the new Federal Government's operating funds, and in the years immediately after 1800, Salem provided one-sixth of the total.
