  • 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.

  • Evolving Face of East Somerville: from Horse-Drawn Trolleys to Transit Stations
    Evolving Face of East Somerville: From Horse-Drawn Trolleys to Transit Stations Tour researched and led by Ed Gordon, President of the Victorian Society in America, New England Chapter Sunday, June 12th, 2016 Co-Sponsored by the Somerville Historic Preservation Commission and East Somerville Main Streets The tour begins at the East Somerville Branch of the Somerville Library, 115 Broadway. East Somerville, arguably more than any other area of Somerville, has experienced the most radical alterations to its topography. Transportation projects that introduced canal boats, trolleys and commuter trains to the area; a hill reduction that paved the way for residential construction; and land-making to accommodate industrial growth – these factors have all resulted in notable changes to the neighborhood’s landscape and streetscape. The story of transportation innovations in East Somerville goes back nearly 400 years. It begins with Broadway: in the mid-1630s. The road was set out from Charlestown Neck (Sullivan Square), ascended the east slope of Winter Hill and then turned northwest to follow Main Street before proceeding into Medford by way of a bridge over the Mystic River. Paul Revere followed this route to make his legendary horseback ride to Lexington ahead of the British redcoats. During the late 18th century, Broadway was extended over Winter Hill, continuing along its current path all the way to Menotomy (now Arlington). Until as late as the 1840s, Broadway in East Somerville was bordered by a handful of Colonial-era farms. The East Somerville section of the Middlesex Canal was built between 1793 and the early 1800s. The introduction of the Canal had surprisingly little impact on construction in the area beyond a ditch-like depression cut through low-lying land between Broadway and Mystic River wetlands.
