Abstract
SV157 — Nelson Dionne Collection. View of Mechanic Hall, at 283-287 Essex Street, taken from the yard of Mary A. Sanders across the street. The storefronts of Xenophon H. Shaw & Sons gilders and Roderick A. Mackenzie's merchant tailor shop can be seen occupying the bottom floor. Posters for the play "Sea of Ice" starring Jean Hosmer, to be shown at the hall, are visible on the front columns. Also visible, to the right of the hall, is Moses P. Perkins's fruit and confectionary shop. Published by S. Grindal, 144 Essex Street, Salem, Mass., c. 1870. Built as a meeting place and function hall for the Salem Charitable Mechanic Association in 1839, Mechanic Hall eventually succumbed to fire on February 4, 1905, and was replaced on the site by the Empire Theatre. Currently, the site now houses a parking lot.
