  • Crowdsourced Neighborhood Boundaries, Part One: Consensus Posted on July 2, 2012 by Andy Woodruff
    BOSTONOGRAPHY Maps, graphics, and geography of Greater Boston. @bostonography Crowdsourced neighborhood boundaries, Part One: Consensus Posted on July 2, 2012 by Andy Woodruff UPDATE! We’ve got a new and better version of the neighborhood mapping project! Head on over to bostonography.com/hoods! OLDER UPDATE: There’s also a newer map of what’s described below. As you may recall, we’re running an ongoing project soliciting opinions on Boston’s neighborhood boundaries via an interactive map. We want to keep collecting data, but we’ve already received excellent responses that we’re itching to start mapping, and when we hit 300 submissions recently it seemed like a good enough milestone to take a crack at it. (That’s actually 300 minus some junk data. If you offer the ability to draw freeform shapes, some people draw random rectangles and triangles, and some people draw… er, other long, tipped objects.) There are many questions to be asked here. Where are the areas of consensus? Where are the disputed zones? Where are the no­man’s lands? &c.? Let’s tackle these one at a time in a series of posts and maps. Today we look at consensus. But first, let’s check out a raw picture of the boundaries everyone has drawn. This map, which is clipped to the city limits, shows that the word “tangled” is apt in reference to neighborhood boundaries. Some lines are strong as a result of many people drawing in the same place, but many others are all over the place. Based on those strong lines we can kind of see where there is decent agreement on boundaries, but we can quantify this for all of the neighborhood extents.

This time, on June 25, it’ll be to choose John Kerry’s successor. US Rep. Ed Markey, a Malden Democrat, and newcomer Gabriel Gomez, a Cohasset Republican, are the two candidates on the ballot, survivors of the April 30 primary that winnowed the fields on either side. The public’s interest in the special election – set in motion in December when Kerry was tapped as President Obama’s chief diplomat – has been sluggish by most accounts. Voter listlessness was on display on Sunday at Roxbury Community College where the candidates faced off in a forum put together by MassVOTE Elizabeth Seton Academy’s class of 2013 posed for a photo outside of the school on Thurs., May and other groups.

  • Self-Guided Walking Tour Architectural & Historical Features Of
    Self-Guided Walking Tour Architectural & Historical features of the Neighborhood around Edward Everett Square and the Dorchester Historical Society 1 Many motorists drive along Boston Street and visit Edward Everett Square in the Dorchester section of Boston without knowledge of Dorchester or Edward Everett. This brief guide is being prepared by the Dorchester Historical Society to better explain Dorchester’s history and Edward Everett, as well as to commemorate his birthplace. The arrow shows the birthplace of Edward Everett on a detail from the 1874 map. Edward Everett (1794-1865) was a Dorchester-born U.S. Secretary of State, Envoy Exrtraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to Great Britain, Massachusetts Governor, Senator and Congressman, Harvard University President, theologian, historic preservationist and orator who was born adjacent to Edward Everett Square and Richardson Park. The neighborhood was anciently part of Allen’s Plain, the first-settled part of colonial Dorchester, founded in 1630. Dorchester’s first Meeting House, and school were once located nearby. This district has as its center the Blake House (or Blake-Clap House), the oldest colonial structure in the modern city of Boston. It stands in Richardson Park, designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, the founder of landscape architecture in America. The district as a whole includes a fine assortment of Colonial, French Second Empire, Colonial Revival, and transitional Queen Anne-Colonial Revival style buildings, as well as three different types of Dorchester Triple Deckers arranged around a pleasant 1 acre green space in the middle of Boston.1 Edward Everett Square is located at the intersection of Cottage Street, Columbia Road, Boston Street and Massachusetts Avenue.

  • Index to the Proceedings by Ruth Canedy Cross
    Index to the Proceedings by Ruth Canedy Cross FOREWORD As might be expected, the forty-four volumes of Proceedings (1905-1979) covered by this index provide a solid background of history: the landing at and settlement of "Newtown[e]"; the allotment of land and establishment—and later alteration—of town boundaries; the organization and division of churches; the effects of war, from the early Indian struggles and the Revolutionary War to the Vietnam conflict; the growth of and changes in population; the rise and decline and subsequent revival of industry. Along with this, from almost the very beginning, runs the history of Harvard; "town and gown" have shared many of the same problems, and each has profoundly affected the other. All this is enlivened by first-hand accounts from diaries and letters and recollections by people who were there while it was happening. For example: In the 1630s, Governor Winthrop reprimands Lieutenant-Governor Dudley for "extravagance" in wainscoting his new house, to which Dudley replies that it was done "for warmth...and the charge was little." We hear of a "student rebellion" at Harvard in the 1660s, apparently over religious matters; 300 years later the issues are different but the sentiments are the same. An exchange of correspondence between General Heath and General Burgoyne in 1777 reflects their frustrations in attempting to provide decent accommodations for the "Convention Troops" held prisoner in Cambridge. Written in 1827 to her son Stephen, Louisa Storrow Higginson's letters (read by a younger son, Thomas Wentworth Higginson, in 1906 at the sixth meeting of the newly formed Society) paint a vivid picture of family life--with ten children of her own and two stepdaughters, she says of a neighbor's sick child, "he is a dear little boy and I longed to have him for my own to take care of." Four companies of Harvard students guard the Arsenal in 1861, this task being taken over by the Washington Home Guard during the draft riots of 1863.
