INVENTORY FORM B CONTINUATION SHEET LEXINGTON 107 Bow STREET MASSACHUSETTS HISTORICAL COMMISSION Area(s) Form No. 220 MORRISSEY BOULEVARD,BOSTON,MASSACHUSETTS 02125 2195 as Massachusetts Avenue Terrace and Arlington Heights Terrace—was laid out by Jacob W.Wilbur, a prolific Brookline developer. Wilbur typically sited his subdivisions near streetcar lines and appealed to working class residents. Bow Street appears to have been laid out between 1918 and 1920, when five households are listed on this road. The first known occupants at this address are Raffaele Tribuna, a laborer at Mt. Auburn Cemetery, and his wife Pasqualina (Lina) (both born in Italy), who were living here by 1934. They may have occupied the house as early as 1920, when the census identifies them at 173 Rindge Avenue (the numbering system may have changed)with two teenage children: Jennie (Giovannina), who worked as a packer in a candy shop, and Antony(Domenico Antonio), who made mops in a mop factory. Lina Tribuna lived in this house at least through 1945. Subsequent residents included Gordon V. Hatfield, an artist, and his wife Leona F. (1955 and 1965) and their son, Gordon Jr., who was in the air force (1965).
