Brick by Brick: Salem’s Hidden Architectural Stories explores Salem’s notable structures, from a millionaire’s mansion to a working-class sailor’s house, and examines how building materials and stylistic choices all tell a story of a particular culture, time, place and family. Meet the hidden figures who built and lived in PEM properties like the Ropes Mansion and the Daniel Bray House, and learn about Salem landmarks like Derby Square, the Lyceum and the courthouses on Federal Street. Along the way, learn how the city’s history of colonization, revolution and maritime trade shaped its people and architecture.
