INVENTORY FORM B CONTINUATION SHEET LEXINGTON 2180 MASSACHUSETTS AVE. <br /> MASSACHUSETTS HISTORICAL COMMISSION Area(s) Form No. <br /> 220 MORRISSEY BOULEVARD,BOSTON,MASSACHUSETTS 02125 <br /> 0 2251 <br /> Massachusetts Avenue was established in the 17 1h century as part of an early highway from Cambridge to Concord. <br /> Development of this section of the road, west of Lincoln Street and the town center, was sparse, however, until the beginning of <br /> the 201h century. <br /> As late as 1950, the property at 2180 Massachusetts Avenue was part of a large parcel belonging to the current house at 2160 <br /> Massachusetts Avenue. Located in the back right (southwest) corner of that lot was a substantial, two-story accessory building. <br /> Based on its location, shape, and size, that accessory building may form part of the back section of today's house at#2180. The <br /> current building appears otherwise to be new construction. Further examination and/or research are necessary to confirm the <br /> history of the present building. <br /> BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES <br /> Historic maps and atlases: Walling 1853; Beers 1875; Walker 1889; Stadly 1898; Walker 1906; Sanborn 1908, 1918, 1927, <br /> 1935, 1935/1950. <br /> Lexington Comprehensive Cultural Resources Survey, Period and Area Summaries. <br /> http://historicsurvey.Iexingtonma.gov/index.htm Accessed Jul 23, 2015. <br /> Lexington Directories: 1899, 1908-09, 1922, 1934, 1936. <br /> Lexington List of Persons: 1935, 1945, 1955, 1965. <br /> Massachusetts Historical Commission.
