This older map of the Fay Estate found at the Register of the Salem Deeds, was drawn in 1899, and has not been posted here before. This map names and defines the land of the Fay Estate, including the location of the buildings (Mansion, Carriage House, Servant's quarters, Laundry Building, Gatehouse) to which a few remain today on the Lynn side, except for the mansion. The Fay Estate grew to about 500 acres around Spring Pond, partially Lynn, Peabody and Salem Ma. Richard Fay purchased many parcels to enlarge his estate. The stone walls which line each parcel, can be seen today through wooded and wetland areas.
Ice Houses in Peabody are shown too, on Spring Pond. The piers for these remain in the water today.
ReplyDeleteThe boundary post still exits too.
