Happy New Year!!!<\/strong> Our first building of the new year is Hamilton Hall<\/a> in Salem, named in honor of Alexander Hamilton<\/a>. A three-story brick Federal-style building, designed by Samuel McIntire<\/a> and built from 1805 to 1807 on Chestnut Street<\/a> at Cambridge Street, Hamilton Hall<\/a> was built as a gathering place and hall for functions<\/a> held by Salem’s wealthy Federalist<\/a> elite. A particularly notable event was the visit<\/a> by the Marquis de Lafayette<\/a> in 1824. With its ballroom, Hamilton Hall<\/a> is still used for social<\/a> and cultural<\/a> events, including being rented<\/a> for weddings<\/a>. The west end of the building<\/a> was completed in 1824 and the Greek Revival entrance<\/a> was installed in 1845.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
