<br />In March 1946 Arthur Hutchinson, by then living much of the year in St. Petersburg, Florida, sold his interest in the property on
<br />the west side of Blossom Street to his brother Edwin, and in October of the same year Edwin Hutchinson petitioned the state land court to determine and register the boundaries between his brother’s former home at 169 Blossom Street, which he sold the
<br />next month to William H. and Effie S. Lyon, and his own.9 Arthur Hutchinson died in St. Petersburg in 1946, and Edwin may have remained at 26 Blossom Street until he died in 1963. After it became registered land, 26 Blossom Street’s deed history
<br />between 1946 and 1974 is unclear. In June 1974 Frederick W. and Patricia E. Frey sold 26 Blossom Street and its lot and an undeveloped lot south of it to Martin and Wilma E. Diskin of Cambridge.10 Wilma (later Vilunya) Diskin sold the property in
<br />September 1999 to Sarah A. Forrester and Ricardo C. Dumont, who placed their shares of the property in separate trusts that were the owners of record in 2021.11
