“Discover Neighborhood Heritage” is a photographic catalog, partly based on records in the 1987 publication Historic Salem. That inventory illustrated Salem National Register and Local Landmark sites up to that date. Our album of more than 250 individual historic properties introduces viewers to other significant properties found in our own research throughout the city’s neighborhoods, each with a distinctive character and unique history. Many of these photographs were taken as long ago as 2008, and so their appearance may be different today.

Use the search tool to scroll through the neighborhoods as follows: CANDO, ELNA, Faye Wright, Grant, Highland, Morningside, NESCA, NOLA, NEN, Northgate, SCAN, South Gateway, SEMCA, SESNA, SWAN, Sunnyslope, West Salem.

You can browse to discover historic properties where you live or in other neighborhoods of interest. If you know of other properties that might be included, contact us to discuss additions to this topic.
