Salt Street Gallery

The retirement home of the minister Christian Frederick Denke and his second wife, Maria (Polly) Steiner.  This house was originally located on Factory Row, outside of the original historic district boundaries.  The house was in severe disrepair and was in danger of demolition so in 1970 it was moved to this vacant lot on Salt Street where it was restored.
