Photo of the Great Salem Fire in June, 1914. Taken from Gallows Hill with 21, 23, 24 & 25 Proctor St visible in the distance. I tried to put the map pin roughly where I think this photo was taken.
Where the Great Salem Fire of 1914 began, showing ruins at the intersection of Bridge, Boston, and Proctor Streets. 21, 23 & 25 Proctor St can be seen in the distance
Sylvania Employees Watch Salem Soldiers March Off 60 Boston Street Salem, Massachusetts Hygrade Sylvania employees (Boston St. plant) watch soldiers march off to serve in WWI. "The debris in the foreground marks the spot where the great Salem Fire of 1914 started."
This is the photo that blew my mind! Seeing that huge factory in the park I grew up in totally shifted my understanding of the area. Langdon St is in the foreground, the old Salem High School (now Collins Middle School) is in the background. I tried to place the pin where it looks like the photo was taken from.
Pickering House. I've walked by this house thousands of times but have never been inside. I remember reading about Pickering in Chernow's biography of George Washington and thinking, "Hey! I know that house!"
this is a memory of this post
This photo is a little before my time, but looks very similar to when I was a kid. We used to go to that CVS and Crosby's all the time. In fact, we'd climb up the hill behind the CVS and pass through the apartment building parking lot at the top on our way back to Langdon St. I have scoped that area out recently, and it is no longer really open for that kind of passage! This photo looks like it was taken from the driveway of 45 Warren St.
