HISTORIC SALEM, INC. (HSI) IS ONE OF THE NATION'S OLDEST PRESERVATION ADVOCACY ORGANIZATIONS, FOUNDED IN 1944 TO SAVE THE HISTORICALLY IMPORTANT JONATHAN CORWIN AND THE NATHANIEL BOWDITCH HOUSES FROM DEMOLITION FOR STREET WIDENING. LATER, HSI WAS A LEADER IN BLOCKING URBAN RENEWAL IN THE 1970S. IN 2000, HSI RETOOK RESPONSIBILITY FOR AND OWNERSHIP OF THE NATIONAL REGISTER NATHANIEL BOWDITCH HOUSE AFTER YEARS OF NEGLECT DURING MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP, RESTORING ITS LATE 18TH-CENTURY INTERIOR. THIS YEAR WE CONTINUED SIGNIFICANT PRESERVATION OF THE HOUSE BY REPLACING THE WOOD SHINGLE ROOF WITH HISTORIC ACCURACY. HSI ACTIVELY COLLABORATES WITH AND ADVOCATES BEFORE NEIGHBORHOOD GROUPS, THE CITY, AND CITY BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS ON ISSUES RANGING FROM DEMOLITION OF HISTORIC STRUCTURES AND NEW DEVELOPMENT TO THE CITY'S PRESERVATION PLANNING AND EXECUTION.
