History in Rubble: Salem’s Lost Buildings
August 9, 2024- December 21, 2024
Despite preservation efforts, some of the most iconic landmarks from Salem’s past have become victims of the wrecking ball. This exhibit features the rubble and saved remnants of many of Salem’s lost buildings. Discover how Salem’s skyline has changed over time and how preserving historic structures can make a difference to the economics, liveability, and sustainability of our community.
I read every word in this exhibit and examined every photo and artifact. It’s beautifully done, thank you for providing information about some of our well-known and little known buildings, neighborhoods, and people.
