Ebenezer Warren Reed, in addition to several official positions with the town, was a watering-cart contractor with Brookline who sprinkled the dirt streets to reduce dust and preserve the covering over the stone underlayment. This is currently the only known photograph of a watering cart in Brookline. Across Boylston St. was the feeder station hydrant used to fill the wagon.

On the left is a partial view of the Gulf station at the corner of Brookline Ave. and Lower Washington St. In the middle is 85 River Rd., an apartment building that fronted on 682/684 Brookline Ave. On the right is the rear of 676 Brookline Ave., a building still standing in 2025, one of the very few not removed during the urban renewal project of the 1970s.

From a notebook of property-appraisal photos taken in 1965 and early 1966 for “The Marsh Urban Renewal Project” run by the Brookline Redevelopment Authority. Only a few scattered peripheral structures remain today.

Arthur Ouimet acquired this house, newly-built, in 1900 and rented it out for three years before moving in with his own family. Francis Ouimet, his son, later worked as a caddie at the Country Club, located directly across the street, and famously won the U. S. Open in 1913.

In 2020, Tom Hynes, a member of the Country Club who also lived on Clyde St., acquired the house. Hynes, with donations from fellow Country Club members, initiated a complete restoration of the house to its original condition, including period furnishings. The project was nearing completion as of this writing in June, 2022, with the final disposition of the house yet to be determined.

This house was built in 1715 by Samuel Clark (the 2nd) and was eventually occupied by 6 generations of the Clark family until its demolition in 1902. Caleb Clark, born in 1789 in the fourth generation, took ownership of the house and, in 1862, his son, another Samuel, constructed a house next door at 310 Walnut St. Samuel’s daughter, Helen Clark, took over the house with her husband, William S. Cutler. When they moved to a new house steps away on Chestnut St., the Clark house was rented until 1898 to the just-widowed Alma Charity Mears Macallister (see additional photo of the house).
