Second from the left may be Ernest J. Hannington (1887 - 1966) who was a gardener and orchid specialist at the estate from 1930 - late 1940s. Third from the left may be David Adams who was a Dane estate gardener 1934 - 1940.

Viewed from the rear of the property of Harry Benjamin Burley, 586 Newton St. Also visible are 199 and 205 Wolcott, all still standing.

Located at the northwest corner with Clyde St., the house is still standing. Known as the Isaac Child House, it is one of the oldest remaining houses in Brookline and of considerable historic interest. The precise age of the house remains unclear. The land upon which it stands was first deeded in 1639, a house was constructed in the present location in the 1740s, and a first floor was added under the original house in 1875. It is not clear from the records whether the current house is based on the original house or if that house was torn down and replaced circa 1800.

Pictured in front of the Newton Street School (formerly Putterham) is the carriage known as “the barge”. It initially provided transportation for area students who were past the grade-three limit of the school and now attended the Heath School. It followed a three-mile route which began at the corner of Heath St. and Hammond St., the property of driver James Fegan, and proceeded along Hammond St., Newton St., Clyde St., Warren St., and back to Heath St.

Sign in the front says Newton St. and lists mileages to various locations

“The almshouse was constructed in 1883 on Newton Street, near the Putterham School. The almshouse provided Brookline poor with shelter, food, and work, and produced and sold items such as wood, potatoes, and hay. The almshouse was converted to an infirmary in 1931. On the site of the almshouse, the Town built various hospitals including the first hospital in 1894, later named the Contagious Disease Hospital. In 1901, a complex of six buildings were constructed to house patients with diptheria and scarlet fever. In 1916, a new tuberculosis hospital was opened. All of the hospitals and the old almshouse were demolished in 1954.” [source: brooklinema.gov]
