Downtown Salem District
Downtown Salem District, Historic district in Salem, Massachusetts.
The Downtown Salem District extends between Church, Central, New Derby, and Washington Streets, featuring Federal, Gothic Revival, and Italianate architectural structures.
Added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983, this district expanded from the original 1972 listing centered around Salem's Old Town Hall.
Salem City Hall at 93 Washington Street operates as a municipal center since 1837, making it the longest-running city hall in the United States.
Essex Street pedestrian Mall restricts vehicle access, allowing only foot traffic and delivery vehicles to move through the district since 1976.
The district contains the Joshua Ward House from 1784 and the Old Town Hall from 1816, which now includes the Salem Museum on its first floor.
