Some updates; Avery Rand’s house in Newton

Version 9.5 of the list (pdf) includes a few updates:

  • Starbuck house and anonymous Rye house clarified somewhat.
  • New Woodruff Hotel information straightened out a bit.
  • More learned about the repairs to the street surface for W.H. De Forest: they took place at the spot where Hamilton Grange seems to have protruded into the street.
  • Information on Donnellon’s 97th Street brickyard added.
  • Wheeler & Downing’s church in Columbus, Ga. added (but the building still does not look right).
  • George (not William) Sheldon entry corrected.

A drawing of William I. Russell’s Short Hills stable has been found.

Avery Rand’s house has finally been located in Newton, Mass.:


There are some photos of the house at a realtor’s site.

Here are some contemporary photos of the demolished Aetco entrance shown in the last post:
