Directly in front of the First Universalist Church (6 Rust St.) sits the Thomas Perkins House (c1811)on 7 Ash St.

A chaste, hipped-roof, two-story, brick Federal dwelling, the only one of its type extant in Salem, according to Tolles' book.

This building was saved from demolition by urban renewal authorities in 1968 when its owner, Bessie Munroe, refused to vacate the premises.
