This house, which was torn down after a fire in 1949, was built by Isaac Cook in 1809. In 1827, Cook built for his younger son the well-known “Cook Cottage” right down the hill from this house. Circa 1878 James Lovell Little and his wife, Mary Revere Little, acquired both this house and the cottage. It is not known why but atlases of the time label the main house as the property of Mary R. Little and the cottage as property of James L. little.

The station opened on outer Heath St. in 1899 as Combination Wagon No. 2 with five men on site and another three on call. It was soon renamed to “Station F” following the renaming of all the houses to “stations” at the end of the same year. In the 1930s, there was another system-wide renaming from lettered stations to numbered stations. Station F became Station 6.
By 1930, it was evident that the south and west areas of town had seen a large increase in population in recent years with no change to fire coverage. It was even reported that homeowners were being charged higher insurance rates as a result. To rectify this a larger Station D on Boylston was soon built and, in 1939, Station F, now known as Station 6, was closed and the personnel moved to the new Station 6 at Hammond St. and Newton St.

This is a rare photo of the Harvard Hall building just prior to its replacement after a battle with the town and the invocation of eminent domain. The town needed to widen both Washington St. and Harvard St. and was literally shaving off sections of the building which sat at the apex of the two streets. The grocer, T. H. Dyer, insisted on remaining open and the building owner, in litigation with the town, covered the reduced and now-asymmetrical building with makeshift boarding.

This photo shows the final stage of the full building at 11-13 Harvard Square. On the left, with its delivery wagons parked out front, is T. H. Dyer, Provisions. On the right, at #13 Harvard Sq., is Frank F. Seamens, Groceries recently renamed to L. N. Danforth. It appears that Lucius N. Danforth, a clerk at the Dyer store for two decades and at the George Joyce store there before that, has recently taken over the Seamens store. But the Danforth store will be short-lived. The town had that side of the building removed to allow for the widening of Harvard St. and a new building would replace it in two years.
