Salem Jail Residences
Historic Jail Complex LLC
Salem, Massachusetts
The transformation of the historic Salem Jail from an abandoned property into a bustling mixed-use development is a testament to the benefits of preserving the connection between old and new. Finegold Alexander’s design restored a circa 1813 jail complex and adapted it for residential and mixed use, including a full-service restaurant and an original jail cell to convey the history of the property. Essential to the success of the project was tight coordination between team members. The support of federal and state agencies in procuring the necessary historic tax credits was also of critical importance.

“The adaptive-reuse and rehabilitation of the Salem Jail is one the finest examples of how historic preservation can have a catalytic impact on communities.”

Different parts of the former jail complex were converted to serve different purposes. The original jail building, constructed in 1813, with a major addition by Gridley J. F. Bryant in 1884, contained apartments that were converted into condos and a restaurant. The jail keeper’s house, possibly designed by Samuel McIntire, was converted to three private entry homes. The carriage house hosts a single unit and exhibit space, and the new building houses eight duplex homes.

“It is a great example of how cities and towns can work with developers to keep important buildings intact and meet the new needs of residents, businesses and the community.”

Before & After Images
*Update January 2023
We made fixes to all mobile and safari browsers and you should no longer experience issues with those. Thanks!
Overview
Building an image comparison section in Webflow doesn't need to be difficult, and it shouldn't cost you time or money...
Here's a simple solution, we built ontop of the awesome js work from @pehaa.
We've tried to make this really accessible for all users, so what's important here is <Image Wrapper> and the two images inside of it, namely <Image One> and of course <Image Two>. We recommend you size your two images the same, although it will work regardless.
Use <Image Wrapper> to set your maximum width, and copy the code from page settings. That's it, when you publish the page the magic will happen.
