Point Neighborhood Historic District
Point Neighborhood Historic District, Historic district in Salem, Massachusetts
The Point Neighborhood Historic District contains a rectangular grid of streets with dense residential buildings near downtown Salem, bordered by Lafayette Street and Congress Street.
Following a devastating fire in 1914, Salem authorities initiated construction projects that resulted in numerous multiunit residential buildings throughout the Point Neighborhood within three years.
The district represents architectural patterns of working-class housing from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, reflecting the settlement of immigrant communities in Salem.
The National Register of Historic Places designation, received in December 2014, enables property owners to access funding for preservation and restoration of their historical structures.
The district maintains a uniform architectural style across its buildings, demonstrating the rapid development response to the 1914 fire that transformed this section of Salem.
