Parterre’s Flooring Breathes New Life into Former Bank Building

Ledger is a one-of-a-kind restaurant and bar situated in the former Salem Savings Bank building located in the historically rich community of downtown Salem, Mass. The unique eatery, which chef-owner Matt O’Neil opened in June 2017, features a menu inspired by 19th century New England culinary methods, particularly live-fire cooking.

Prior to opening Ledger, ownership engaged the design team at Assembly Design Studio to help transform the circa. 1818-space into a high-end dining establishment. Assembly, a Boston-based design studio, was selected for the project as a result of its extensive resume in restaurant design, particularly its work in successfully renovating a 1945 building, once home to an old Family Dollar store, into Capo Restaurant in South Boston.
