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.

Erected in 1828 in Harvard Square. In 1858, the church moved to a new structure at the corner of Harvard St. and Pierce St. In 1859, John Panter acquired the former structure and moved it forward into the apex of the two main thoroughfares, Washington St. and Harvard St., and created storefronts on the first floor.

The church was the outgrowth of meetings first organized by Elijah Corey who sought an alternative to the First Parish Church which was located at the top of Walnut surrounded by the monied elite of Brookline to whom the parish appealed.

This film was created by the Brookline Redevelopment Authority to promote the replacement of the neighborhood known as “The Farm”. The film shows both exterior and interior scenes intended as a counterpoint to the new housing units of the Brookline Housing Authority, notably the one on nearby High Street built in 1948-49, designed by Richmond & Goldberg.

The Lymans lived in a mansion at the end of a long driveway at 105 Heath St. Cora, their daughter, died at age eleven while overseas in The Hague. She had been adored by the Codman children who lived nearby and when the Codmans' new baby sister arrived a year after Cora’s death, they asked that she be named after Cora.
