Field notes
The narrative separates Marblehead’s history into named building periods, including “The shoe town,” “The streetcar suburb,” and “The Big Downzone.” It pairs local figures with references such as the 2014 Historic Preservation Survey Plan, Marblehead Museum material on the 1846 gale, and U.S. Census counts. The page also notes that the town built 30 duplex units for veterans on Broughton Road in 1953.
