Most Endangered Historic Resource
Old Salem Police Station, 1913, 17
Central Street (Listed 2000) Status – SAVED 2005
Vacant since 1992, the Old Salem Police Station was completely renovated
after several starts and stops. This historic structure has been transformed
into residential condominiums, while preserving public entrances and
historic details. The owners completed the Residences at Museum Place
and sale of all condominiums in 2005.
Both the Salem Redevelopment Authority and the developers deserve recognition
for having saved an important civic structure while simultaneously making
an important contribution to enhancing the residential renaissance of
downtown Salem.
