Dear Ms. Napolitano,
Historic Salem has reviewed the submitted plans for the proposed project at 301 Essex Street, known as the Jerry’s Department Store building. It appears that, except for some additional information on the penthouse, there were no changes to the design of the elevations. This includes no change to the upper-level overhang facing Essex Street or additional design features that were discussed at the July SRA meeting and described in the memo from Tom Daniel dated July 20, 2022. We therefore re-submit our comments from July 12, 2022, which still apply.
Sincerely,
Emily Udy
Preservation Manager
