N. Streets and Lanes<br />

Streets are an important component <strong>of</strong> any landscape including<br />

that <strong>of</strong> early Salem. Existing thoroughfares (Main,<br />

Salt, Church Streets, etc.) were once unpaved, being<br />

surfaced with packed dirt, tanbark or possibly gravel.<br />

Road surfaces were not uniform throughout the town, but<br />

graded into each other to form an interlocking network<br />

<strong>of</strong> textures.<br />

Roads in Salem are paved today with an<br />

aggregate paving surface to help re-create a 19th century<br />

appearance.<br />
