SALEM — This photo on the front page of Friday's edition was incorrectly identified as a carriage house on Charter Street, being acquired by the Peabody Essex Museum. It is actually a reconstruction, done in 1865, of the original Quaker Meeting House in Salem, which was built around 1688. It is already owned by the museum and stands in the garden area behind the Phillips Library. The carriage house that the museum is purchasing is a brick building on Charter Street, next to the former police station, and is part of the condominium development known as The Residences at Museum Place.
