INVENTORY FORM B CONTINUATION SHEET LEXINGTON 17 HOLLAND STREET MASSACHUSETTS HISTORICAL COMMISSION Area(s) Form No. 220 MORRISSEY BOULEVARD,BOSTON,MASSACHUSETTS 02125 2236 Street was constructed between 1927 and 1935; the road was unpaved through at least 1950. Hillside Avenue has remained undeveloped, attesting to a suburban vision that did not fully materialize. Further research is required to determine the early residents of 10 Holland Street. (Local historian Sam Doran suggests contacting Jack Cunha for further information on the history of this house.) The only property identified on this street in the directories between 1922 and 1965 is present-day#15, which sits closer to Taft Avenue. The size, scale, and hilltop location of 10 Holland Street suggest well-to-do occupants. The building was likely designed to face the incipient Hillside Avenue, as the early 20th century Sanborn maps show a full-length porch across that elevation of the house.
