Salem Armory

2009-01-30T16:07:56Z

10.114.10.214:

*The Salem Armory was located on Essex and Brown Street, directly across from the Peabody Essex Museum.
*The Salem Armory was constructed for the Second Corps of Cadets between 1890 and 1908. In 1890, the Second Corps purchased the home and property of Colonel Francis Peabody. The home was adapted to serve as Cadet headquarters. The drill shed, now occupied by the Salem Visitor Center, was erected at that time. In 1908, the former residence was torn down and replaced with a new head house designed by John C. Spofford. This massive brick and stone time castle-like structure has many typical features of Gothic revival armory architecture.
*The armory was also an important social gathering place for the citizens of Salem. The halls in the armories were often the larges halls built in urban areas, they hosted large gatherings. Salem Armory frequently served as a civic function hall, hosting dinner, dances, fairs and other gatherings. Salem's Cadet Band under the director Jean Missaud often played there.
*In 1982, the head house of the Salem Armory was destroyed by fire. The drill shed survived, and in 1994 it was converted into the Salem Visitor Center, which is operated by the National Park Service. In 2002, the Peabody Essex Museum created Armory Park on the site of the head house.

Corne, Michele Felice

2008-11-21T14:46:04Z

10.114.10.214:

*Marine painter primarily, but also did landscapes, portraits and murals. Born on the island of Elba in Italy, probably 1752. He was brought to America by Elias Haskett Derby in 1799. He worked in Salem until 1806, working occasionally for Samuel McIntire and William King. Among his pupils in Salem were George Ropes, Hannah Crowninshield and Anstis Stone.
*Corne next lived in Boston where he became well-known for his painting of ships and naval battles depicting the War of 1812. In 1822, he moved to Newport, R.I. where he died in 1845, at the age of 93.
*Corne was known as a painter of wallpaper and frescoed wall decoration around the Salem area. He painted a fresco of Derby's fleet for the cupola in the Pickman-Derby mansion. This is now housed in the Peabody Essex Museum.

*While living in Salem, Mr. Corne tried to introduce the tomato or "love apple" to the people here, who thought it was poisonous. Later, in Newport, R.I. he had success persuading friends to try the delicious fruit, the tomato.

Mary Spencer made the first batch of Gibralters in 1806. She lived at 56 Buffum Street and then moved to the head of Bryant Street according to Salem Historian Jim McAllister. Mary was part of the Spencer family which had come from England. She first sold her candy from the steps of the First Church. The candy became very popular and she was known to sell her wares from a wagon to neighboring towns.The Gibralters were also very popular with sailors, as they stayed fresh in all climates. This way they were introduced to the Far East, China, and the East Indies. Gilbraters can still be bought at Ye Olde Pepper Company on Derby St. in Salem.
