  • My Boston: Some Printing and Publishing History
    Preprint of My Boston: Some printing and publishing history David Walden Based on a presentation for the July 2012 TEX Users Group annual conference, Omni Parker House, Boston, Massachusetts. For practical reasons, the dozens of photographs, scans of historic book pages, etc., which are the focus of my presentation, have been left out of this preprint. The slide numbers are in the margin notes. slide 1 During the four summers before each of my college years, I worked in a large cardboard box printing plant (big letter presses and lithography presses) in a small industrial town 40 miles east of San Francisco. Thus began my fascination with printing. I was also an avid reader of books and of The New Yorker magazine to which my father subscribed. I dreamed of eventually living in a big city with big libraries and thick newspapers. Thus, after college, I moved in 1964 to the Boston area (where I have remained ever since). As I explored the Boston and Cambridge in the 1960s, I became aware of a number of publishing and printing activities, often by walking or driving by their then current locations and buildings. I also began to use the libraries and to frequent the bookstores. Compared with the small town in the Central Valley of California in which I had grown up (and even compared with San Francisco where I went to college), Boston was a mecca for someone interested in books, magazines, and the related printing, publishing and distribution world. With TUG2012 (in some sense a publishing event) being held in Boston, I got to thinking about and then looking into the history of printing, publishing, libraries, bookstores, and so forth in Boston.

  • Boston Building Stone Walking Tour 2010
    BOSTON BUILDING STONE WALKING TOUR 2010 HISTORIC USES OF STONE IN BOSTON The first recorded use of building stone was in 1650, when the house of Deacon John Phillips was built from local granite boulders. The house stood until 1864. The oldest stone building still extant is King’s Chapel (stop 5), built in 1749-54 of hand-split blocks from Quincy granite boulders. Streets were formerly paved with cobblestones and cut granite paving blocks, still visible in the historic districts and, in places, at the bottoms of potholes. Starting in 1792 gneissic granite was shipped from Connecticut for curbing and paving, and beginning in the early 19th century most curbing was made of granite, initially from Chelmsford, MA. Unlike many areas outside of the northeast, stone is still used routinely for street curbing. Prior to the Great Depression granite curbing and paving blocks were supplied from New England quarries, most commonly from quarries located near the coast. Currently active sources of granite curbing for the Boston market are quarries in the Chelmsford granite (quarries located in Westford, Mass.), the Concord Granite in Concord, New Hampshire, and a grey granite near Otis, Massachusetts. Stone was also used for sidewalks. We will walk on various types of granite as well as “bluestone,” a fine-grained arkose from the Catskill Mountains, during our trip today. STONE IN OLDER BUILDINGS Prior to the use of steel framing for building, massive stone blocks of local building stones were used for load- bearing walls of buildings. The proximity of Boston to several sources of granite has made this a granite-rich city, at least in the commercial districts.

  • Parker House1
    THE PARKER HOUSE1 And yet — in fact you need only draw a single thread at any point you choose out of the fabric of life and the run will make a pathway across the whole, and down that wider pathway each of the other threads will become successively visible, one by one. — Heimito von Doderer, DIE DÂIMONEN 1. Now “Omni Parker House,” this facility would in 1886 be expanded and in 1927 rebuilt by the J.R. Whipple Corporation. HDT WHAT? INDEX HARVEY D. PARKER PARKER HOUSE 1805 May 10, Friday: Harvey D. Parker was born in Temple, Maine, in a family that had originated with the coming to Lynn, Massachusetts of 30-year-old Thomas Parker aboard the Susan and Ellen in 1635. It is unknown, what Harvey’s middle initial “D” stood for. He would spend much of his youth in Paris, Maine, where it is on record that he “mowed and hoed and held the plough” on his father’s farm. NEVER READ AHEAD! TO APPRECIATE MAY 10TH, 1805 AT ALL ONE MUST APPRECIATE IT AS A TODAY (THE FOLLOWING DAY, TOMORROW, IS BUT A PORTION OF THE UNREALIZED FUTURE AND IFFY AT BEST). Harvey D. Parker “Stack of the Artist of Kouroo” Project HDT WHAT? INDEX PARKER HOUSE HARVEY D. PARKER 1825 Harvey D. Parker came in a coastal packet boat from Maine to Boston, bringing with him $4 in cash. His initial employment in his new locale would be taking care of a horse and cow for $8 per month, but he would then hire out as a coachman for a wealthy Watertown woman.
