The former Benjamin Goddard house, seen in this image, was located on the north side of Boylston directly across from the entrance to Warren St. on the south side. When Sumner Rd. was laid out in 1886 across from Warren St., the house was shifted slightly eastward to it present position at 43 Sumner Rd.

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.

Home of Harry Benjamin Burley. No longer standing.

This identification is speculative:

• Newton St. runs along the right side of the house which is on the south side of the street at roughly today’s #508
• The house faces a small lane that proceeds to the left toward another Goodnough property on South St.
• There is a separate outbuilding to the left of the house

Phineas Goodnough died in 1860. Several sons and grandsons lived at the nearby South St. property and they could be among the men pictured in the photo.

This is one of two photos taken on the same day, likely in November 1905, related to the town’s bicentennial celebration. The time of day seems similar on both and the students and teachers appear mainly the same in both photos but posed in markedly different positions . The reason is unknown.
