Thank you for this work! Can anything be said about the naming of Oliver Street in Boston? In the meantime, you can catch up with my other posts about Boston on that page in my blog.
Aline, This is terrific work and very useful. Who specifically it was named for and why. Anything you can do to help or if you can steer me in the right direction I would be grateful. And Google was no help except to say that Horadan Way is in Roxbury. I think your best best is to go to the Roslindale Library and Historical Society for help. I would love to know what you find. Aline, Thank you and yes it is in Roxbury, my bad. I will shoot you a note with anything I find out.
I am a 9th generation Bostonian. My great,great, great, great grandmother lived on a long gone street named Smith Place off of Joy Street. Not to be confused with Smith Court. It was apparently obliterated when a school was built on the location. Wondering if there is anything in the files on that particular location. By the way, she was the daughter of man who served at Bunker Hill. Many Thanks. Charles: Thank you for your inquiry. I have gone through my most reliable books on Boston streets but have not discovered any reference to Smith Street.
If another school was built on Joy Street, there is no record of it. Is it possible that your family has confused Smith Street and Smith Court? Family stories have a way of changing details over the years.
I know mine did. I suggest heading to the BPL when it opens and checking with the Athenaeum to see if you can find more. Who is Stuart Street named for? I have wondered if there might be a connection. I did some research but came up with nothing. There could well be a connection, depending on when Stuart Street was created.
My great grandfather John Thomson owned a shoe manufacturing plant in Boston not sure of exact location in the early 20th century — I doubt there is any connection, but who knows? Thank you for any insight you might be able to provide.
Thomas: Thomson Place was originally named Pittsburgh Street but was renamed when Thomson Reuters purchased the building. So this one is named for a company, not a person. Good luck! Do you have any information on the naming of this street? It was originally a creek that was gradually filled up. If Solomon Kneeland was your ancestor, then you have a street named for him. Thank you, Thomas. This is excellent information and I will write a blog post about these streets.
I have never been to Eagle Hill so I will have to plan a trip.
