The History of Louder's Lane
CHAPTER FOUR THE HISTORY OF LOUDER’S LANE Today it is called Louder’s Lane, but research has revealed that the current spelling is not correct. The lane was named for a local farming family with the surname Lowder (pronounced like the English word louder) who lived in the area from the mid-eighteenth to the mid-nineteenth century. Their ranks included Corporal John Lowder, a Roxbury minuteman who fought in the Battle of Lexington on April 19, 1775. Until the middle of the nineteenth century, Jamaica Plain was an outlying, rural part of the town of Roxbury, removed from the bustling center of the town and even more distant from the city of Boston.1 The main activity of Jamaica Plain during this time was agriculture, and its farms, orchards, and pastures supplied the needs of the urban core of Roxbury and of Boston. The central transportation artery was an unpaved road called the Upper Road to Dedham (Centre Street). It was lined with farms and widely-spaced farmhouses standing close to the road. It served as a part of the Boston Post Road for stagecoaches carrying passengers and mail between Boston and New York.2 Coming off it in a roughly westerly direction was a short “private town way,” for many years the only street off Centre Street in that direction between Pond Street and Weld Street. ORIGIN OF THE LANE’S NAME The lane was first mentioned by name in an 1827 deed in which Lucretia Lewis as administratrix of the estate of the late Jabez Lewis, victualler, sold to John Lowder, victualler, for $275 (“he being the highest bidder”) a three acre “parcel of land called the upper swale..

India Street Historic District Designation Report
India Street Historic District Designation Report General Description of the District The India Street neighborhood as we know it today encompasses a 19-block area, extending west to east from Franklin Arterial to Washington Avenue/Mountfort Street and north to south from Congress Street to Commercial Street. Within this larger neighborhood boundary, the proposed India Street Historic District encompasses portions of 10 blocks and is focused on the major corridors (Congress, India and Middle) that define the historic core of the neighborhood and around which many of the neighborhood’s most significant institutional, commercial, religious and residential structures are concentrated. Within or just outside the district boundaries are located five previously-designated landmark structures or sites. These include the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, St. Paul’s Church and Parish Hall, North School, the Abyssinian Meeting House and Eastern Cemetery. Four additional landmarks are proposed for designation in conjunction with the district designation. These include the former Etz Chaim Synagogue (now Maine Jewish Heritage Museum), the former India Street Fire Station, St. Peter’s Catholic Church, the former Shaarey Tphiloh Synagogue, and See full-sized map of district attached to this report. the Abraham S. Levey Commercial Block. These structures are recommended for landmark status based on their significance in the development of the neighborhood, their architectural significance and/or their position at a key gateway into the neighborhood.
