  • 50 Davis Square
    College Avenue, Gateway to West Somerville – From Davis Square to the Medford Line Sponsored by Somerville Historic Preservation Commission, with Edward Gordon, President, NE Chapter of Victoria Society of America “Davis Square” was officially designated by the Board of Aldermen in 1883 and named for Person Davis (1819-1894), a grain dealer in the firm of Davis and Taylor in Boston. He moved to the area in 1850 and built his Italianate house (demolished in 1926) near the intersection of Elm St., Grove St, and Morrison Ave. Over time he presided over a ten-acre estate that encompassed much of present day Davis Square. Only one house is documented before then, circa 1800 at the location of the current West Branch Library. The square developed into a residential and commercial center by the end of the nineteenth century due to several factors. Improvements were made to area streets in the 1860’s when Elm St. was widened and was no longer simply an extension of Milk Row (now Somerville Avenue), and then Holland St. was laid out in 1870. Public transportation made the area more accessible. In 1856-57 horse car railway lines were extended along Mass. Ave. from Harvard Square to Arlington, in 1863 the Somerville Horse Railroad Company connected Union Square with West Somerville via extended tracks along Somerville Ave. and Elm St., and in 1871 the Lexington & Arlington Branch of the Boston & Maine Railroad extended steam rail service to Davis Square. These public improvements stimulated substantial commercial development in the 1870’s and 1880’s as well as rapid residential construction in the 1890’s through the early 20th century.

  • Davis Square Statues” E-Mail to Executive Director of the Office of Housing and Community Development
    The Statues of Davis Squares During the early 1980’s, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority decided to extend the Red Line from Harvard Square to Porter, Davis, and Alewife Square. Along with the extension, they decided to incorporate art into the stations through the “Arts on the Line” program. According to Steven Post, former Executive Director of the Office of Housing and Community Development (of Somerville), “it was important to make art part of the new station design and construction.” This can be seen not only at Davis Square, but at various other subway stations, such as the embedded bronze gloves scattered throughout Porter Square Station. In the beginning, the MBTA was afraid that people would be outraged that the money would be spent on art as part of the construction, but according to Pallas Lombardi, Executive Director of the Cambridge Arts Council, “as pieces got integrated into the system, people started to let us know what they thought, and it was overwhelming…People loved it…the feedback, the response to it, was incredible” (Lombardi). Originally, the statues, which are actually based on real people who lived around Davis Square, were all placed in the brick plaza in front of J.P. Licks and Store 24. However, around 1996, the City and the Somerville Arts Council decided to space out the statues in order to increase their influence around the square, thus placing them in their locations today. Also, have you ever noticed how the faces of the statues are darker than the rest of their bodies, as if they’re wearing some kind of Halloween masks? As stated by Steven Post, “the statues were meant to be ‘temporary’ in that they were not made of bronze.
