  • East Somerville: New Insights Into Its Rich Architecture and Historical Figures
    East Somerville: New Insights into its Rich Architecture and Historical Figures Led by Edward Gordon, President, New England Chapter of the Victorian Society in America Sunday, May 19, 2013 Starting from the main entrance to the Sullivan Square MBTA Orange Line station this tour will first highlight the western-most section of Charlestown and then some of the architectural treasures of East Somerville. The route is designed to showcase residences built between Somerville’s incorporation as a town separate from Charlestown in 1842 and the economic depression known as the Panic of 1873. These early houses are located primarily along or near Perkins Street, a thoroughfare that extends westward from Brighton Street in Charlestown to Franklin Street in Somerville. The houses represent design modes popular in the early-to-mid Victorian era (1837-1901) and include more or less intact examples of the Greek Revival, Italianate and Mansard styles. By the end of the tour we hope you will be able to identify these styles on your own. The last third of the route will look at a few of the more substantial masonry commercial buildings on Broadway— the gateway to East Somerville. Most of these commercial buildings were built between the time that the electric trolley was introduced to Somerville in the 1890s until 1930, when the Great Depression began to take its toll on the nation’s economy. 1859 The tour begins in Charlestown, which could be considered the “mother town” of Somerville. The reason East Somerville developed with a residential core, and industry and commerce at its periphery, is due to transportation improvements and real estate developments occurring nearby in the Sullivan Square section of western Charlestown.

  • Hidden in Plain Sight: Eyes on Historic East Somerville
    Hidden in Plain Sight: Eyes on Historic East Somerville Meeting Place: In front of the Mt. Vernon Restaurant at 14 Broadway, on the Charlestown- Somerville border. The tour will take approximately two hours. At the end participants are encouraged to continue their exploration of East Somerville and have a bite to eat and drink at one of the many culinary spots in the neighborhood, along Broadway. East Somerville ranks among the oldest neighborhoods in Somerville, tracing its development back before the Town was incorporated independent of Charlestown in 1842. It is also among the City's largest neighborhoods -- bounded by the Sullivan Square section of Charlestown on the east, the Washington Street/B&M rail corridor on the south, the McGrath and O'Brien Highway on the west, and the Mystic River on the north. Its proximity to a major east-west highway--Broadway--as well as the construction of railroad stations at the periphery of the area during the 1830s and 1840s strongly influenced the initial development of this neighborhood. Because East Somerville has historically been a neighborhood for over 160 years, it has a multi-layered built environment that can be explored via a variety of tour routes. This particular tour will showcase the variety of housing options available to families of all income levels, from Greek Revival and Italianate residences of the 1840s and 1850s, to modest mid-nineteenth century cottages, to substantial post Civil War Mansard Style "trophy houses." We'll also view neighborhood 1 houses of worship, and discuss ongoing and proposed renovation projects of public buildings along Broadway.

  • Tucked Away Treasures: East Somerville's Rich History and Architectural Legacy
    Tucked Away Treasures: East Somerville’s Rich History and Architectural Legacy Walking Tour with Ed Gordon, in concert with East Somerville Main Streets – Sunday, June 17, 2019 INTRODUCTION This year’s walking tour is focused primarily on residential buildings located between Broadway and Washington Street on the north and south, along the Somerville/Charlestown border, and Myrtle Street on the east and west. East Somerville, together with Prospect Hill and Spring Hill, were among the first sections of Somerville to experience residential development in a more or less comprehensive manner. Due to the vision and calculated risk-taking of local businessmen, suburban subdivisions made the leap from plans on paper to three dimensional reality in what had been Charlestown’s remote “land beyond the Neck.” This land later separated to become the City of Somerville. A primary goal is to showcase the architecturally, and generally historically, significant private residences that have remained largely intact in this easternmost part of Somerville. The buildings will reflect the variety of architectural styles popular during the Victorian era (1837-1901). The tour will highlight the characteristic features of these different architectural styles and tell the “back stories” of the properties that explain how these styles captured the imaginations of builders and homeowners. The intent is to make historic architectural design more accessible, as well as share the sometimes colorful stories of the buildings’ earliest owners. Broadway is an “ancient” highway that dates back to the 1630s. Originally its path did not extend as it does today up and over Winter Hill, but instead intersected with Main Street, following it to the center of Medford.
