Salem Common, Pelham Library Named to National Register of Historic Places
submitted by Shelly Angers, NH Department of Cultural Resources The New Hampshire Division of Historical
Resources is proud to announce that the Salem Common Historic District and the Pelham Library and Memorial Building have been honored by the United States Secretary of the Interior with placement on the National Register of Historic Places.
Administered by the National Park Service,
which is part of the U.S. Department of the Interior, the National Register of Historic Places is the nation’s official list of cultural resources worthy of preservation and is part of a national program to coordinate and support public and private efforts to identify, evaluate and protect our historic and archaeological resources. These are the first listings to the National Register for both Salem and Pelham. Functioning as a local center of civic, religious, educational and community life for more than two hundred years, the Salem Common Historic District is a well-preserved example of a traditional rural New Hampshire townscape. The District’s meetinghouse was originally constructed in 1738 and underwent major renovations in 1838 and 1899; it continued to serve as the site for annual town meetings until 1958. Throughout the years, a variety of other historic civic buildings - including a town library, hose house, cemetery, common and memorials - were added to serve Salem’s ever-changing local government needs. The Pelham Library and Memorial Building was constructed in 1896 and includes a memorial room to honor Pelham men who fought in the Civil War. Its notable colonial revival design is by architect Frederick W. Stickney of the firm

Governor Asks Homeowners to Report Damage to 2-1-1, Local Emergency Officials
Governor John Lynch is asking residents to report any damage to their homes to 2-1-1, as well as to their local emergency management officials. This is important to help ensure all damage is accounted for as Federal Emergency Management Agency teams conduct assessments over the next few days.
FEMA teams are expected to begin a preliminary damage assessment of the state tomorrow, which will help determine New Hampshire’s eligibility for public, individual and small business assistance in the wake of the storm.

FEMA must conduct a preliminary damage assessment to ensure that federal damage guidelines are met before federal assistance is granted to the state. The state as a whole must meet federal thresholds in order to qualify for assistance. Individual counties, as well, must meet certain damage thresholds in order to qualify for assistance. FEMA offers two primary types of assistance, public assistance - which helps the state and communities cover emergency operations, debris removal and repair costs; and individual assistance - which provides some emergency assistance to individuals and will cover some - but not usually all - costs of damage to property. Homeowners should collect and retain estimates from contractors, bills for actual expenditures, photographs - any records that may be used to establish the amount of losses. Reporting losses to 2-1-1 will help the state determine the extent of damage to private property and will assist state officials in applying for federal disaster assistance. It will not qualify anyone for assistance. There is no guarantee that New Hampshire will qualify for federal assistance for private property damage. However, if assistance is granted, property owners would then file more detailed property damage reports directly with the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

alternatives can be put in place to open those roads as soon as possible. DOT officials worked with local officials to establish a detour to allow access again for Route 49 in the Waterville Valley and Thornton area. On Route 302 in Hart’s Location, an emergency route has opened to local traffic. New Hampshire Emergency Management officials today again urged citizens impacted by the storm to use caution when removing downed trees and other debris from their homes and property, and to seek assistance if necessary. The State Fire Marshal’s Office issued the
following tips for damage assessment and debris removal: • Trying to cut a tree that has fallen on your house can create dangerous situations which could cause the tree to fall on you or cause more damage to your home
• If a tree falls on your house, call your local fire department to have them check for damage to utilities such as electric power and gas lines.

• Remember that trees can become entangled in power lines. Treat every downed wire as if it were energized. Some utility wires are quite strong and will suspend trees and branches aloft. Do not attempt to disentangle the trees or branches. If a wire snaps suddenly, it could send the wire, tree, or branch down on top of you.

• Contact a professional tree company to remove the tree. They have special equipment to remove the tree safely from your building.
• Do not attempt permanent repairs until a professional has a chance to examine for underlying structural damage
