Search the Salem Village Historic District Survey Database

The Survey Database contains an entry for each structure included in the 1979 survey of the District.   By filling out this form and clicking on the Search button, you can search the database using the criteria you specified.   The results that will be returned may be either a list of all structures matching the search criteria, or a n indication that no structures in the District match your search criteria.

Instructions

• When this page is initially called, all specifications are at their default settings.  A search performed with the default settings will return a list of all structures in the District.  If you need to restore the defaults, click on the Reset button at the bottom of the page.
• Text boxes may be used to enter information to help refine the search. If the text box is empty, the search engine will consider the text box as irrelevant to the search.
• The location of the property may be specified in two ways - you can specify a street address or a site location.
  • There are two sites in the District - the Endicott Estate and the Rebecca Nurse Homestead.  If you choose a site, you cannot also use a street address.
  • A street address may consist of a complete address, or a partial address. The street name can be specified using the pull-down menu, and the number may be entered in the text box.
• There are two ways to specify a search using the date of construction.  You may specify either a range of dates between two years, or you may select a single year and ask for structures built before, after, or during that year.   The date in the "Year of Construction" field is by default set to the current year and the default search type is set to "Before".    These settings will include all structures in the database, so you do not need to modify these settings unless you want to restrict the search.
