McIntire Historic District
Landmark
A residential district featuring homes designed by Salem architect Samuel McIntire in the Federal style. Many houses were built for merchants who profited from wartime privateering and postwar trade. The neighborhood demonstrates how Revolutionary-era wealth reshaped Salem's built environment.
What Happened Here
McIntire was self-taught. His distinctive style — combining classical elements with local craftsmanship — defined Salem's post-Revolution architectural identity.
