But the neighborhood's oldest burial ground is marked by broken headstones and smat­ tering of debris, a result of the harsh New England climate and vandalism. The city, however, has not forgotten the Market Street Burial Ground, and has launched the Historic Burying Grounds Initiative to restore it and the 15 other historic graveyards that dot the city. "The Market Street Burial Ground is in relative­ ly good shape compared with other graveyards," commented Kathy Kottaridis, project manager of the Historic Burying Grounds Initiative, as she stood amidst the freshly·mowed burial ground. "The city has maintained this graveyard rather well."

Ahearn, Moritz 0. Bergmeyer and Tyrone Hanlan (Ahearn, Bergmeyer & Hanlan). Architect Moritz Bergmeyer Associates, Inc., Boston Location and Description of Site A certai'n parcel of land containing 115,718 square feet situated in the Jamaica Plain district of Boston on Pond Street (also known as the Jamaicaway) between Eliot and Burroughs Streets, formerly occupied by the Children's Museum, more fully described in Exhibit A. The site is presently occupied by four main structures: the former Mitton House which was the main museum building, the Curtis House also known as the Haunted House, the Carriage House which had been remodelled as an auditorium, and a caretaker's house on Eliot Street known as the Williams House, along with a parking area to the rear of the Curtis House and two small garages. Proposed Location and Appearance of Structures The existing structures on site shall be renovated into twenty-four condominium dwelling units and two garages. A one-story annex to the Mitton House may be increased to two and one-half stories. The Carriage House may have several skylights and dormers set into the roof, and windows and doors may be cut into the existing masonry walls. The exterior building materials shall remain the same on the existing struc­ tures and therefore the addition to the Mitton House will probably be stucco, subject to design review.
