Theservicesectorhaspickedupunderthecapacityrestrictionsofthe Governor. As our citizens and business owners adapt to the crisis environment, we see a stabilizing and in some areas an increase in city revenues. During this crisis we are seeing a shift in the buying patterns of our citizens. As people do not wish to travel far or be around large crowds of people, we are seeing a local surge in retail sales. This is seen in our local retail business and mostly in online sales. Our sales tax revenues in some months have surpassed our 2O2O budget projections. The city needs to conduct a campaign to continue to capture this stay at home and shop new norm. The good news story of the Lake Stevens Farmer's Market provided needed vitality to our downtown business district.

  • Garden City Utopia Oak Hill Park: Post-War Housing in Newton
    Garden City Utopia Oak Hill Park: Post-War Housing in Newton Julia Werb Junior Thesis Newton North High School Teacher: Deborah Holman Copyright ©2001 Julia Werb Acknowledgements When it came time for my Newton North Junior Thesis, I was looking for a subject that was interesting, local to the Boston area, and not well known. My mother, who saves everything, showed me a 1995 article from The Boston Globe about five utopian communities in and around Boston. To my astonishment, one of these communities was Oak Hill Park, in Newton. I have lived in suburbs for all of my life, as have most of my friends. How were these suburbs built? Who built them? What were they thinking? A study of Oak Hill Park seemed like a good way to find out, using original documents available right here in Newton. My search for original material began at the Jackson Homestead, which keeps files on Oak Hill Park available to anyone who is interested. Susan Abele was extremely helpful, showing me through the files, letting me take copies of whatever I needed, and sharing her own personal knowledge. Lara Kritzer of the Newton Historical Commission was also very helpful. The Newton Free Library was a rich source of original material. I scanned through week after week of The Newton Graphic and The Newton Villager on microfiche, searching for articles relevant to Oak Hill Park among the Lion’s Club minutes, wedding announcements and refrigerator ads. The Newton Free Library also has a scrapbook from the Oak Hill Park Women’s Association, which provided welcome amusement and insight regarding daily life in the community.

  • Brookline Preservation Commission Demolition Application Report
    Brookline Preservation Commission Demolition Application Report Address: 492 Clinton Road Petitioner: Chin Hur and Hye-Chun Hur Building type: Partial demolition - removal of roof of house National Register Listing (if Applicable): n/a Cremond Rd. 102 Fernwood Rd. Historical/Architectural Significance: This wood frame, brick Colonial revival-style veneer house was built in 1956 by J.D. Builders, Inc., of Newton and designed by architect Walter Greymont, whose studio was on Bowers Street in Newtonville. Among its character-defining features are the running bond brickwork with quoins on the front corners and the hip roof. The facade consists of three bays; fenestration in- cludes a prominent centered entryway with a decorative surround, picture windows on the first story and paired four-over-four sash on the second story, where the lintels blend into the roof cornice. The Turner family lived in the house in the 1950s and 60s. This section of Clinton Road west of Eliot Street, which ends in a cul-de-sac near Reservoir Lane, was laid out in the mid-1950s. Lots were built upon or sold in quick succession by J.D. Builders, Inc. between 1956 and 1960 Walter Greymont designed at least thirteen of the twennty-four houses. The majority of the houses are ranches, raised ranches and split levels with low profiles and eave-fronts. True to the convention of mid- 20th century subdivision layouts, the longer elevations of nearly all the houses face the street. August 2014 535, 529, 536, 521, 515, 503, 520, 497, 506, 500, 492, 485, 486, Houses designed by Walter Greymont and constructed by J.D.
