24 Walnut Place, Summer 1919

She decided to vacate her house, much modified but still standing today, for the summer of 1919 so that it could be used by convalescing soldiers and sailors, two pictured here.

1378-1392 Beacon St., 1911
On the northeast corner of Beacon and Winchester Streets, these buildings were each constructed as an eight-family apartment house, all still standing. Each one was imprinted with a name. From right to left: the Windsor, Wrexham, Tamworth, and Wedgemoir at #1378-1392 Beacon Street and the Richelieu and Winchester at #1-5 Winchester Street. They were all designed by W. H. Andrews in 1902-03 and were built by Peleg Briggs Wadsworth, a real estate developer. Andrews designed these brick and limestone buildings using a number of architectural elements found in the designs of other Beacon Street buildings dating from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries: rounded bay windows alternating with flat facades; projecting cornices with brackets and dentils; and center entrances.
