INVENTORY FORM CONTINUATION SHEET Community: Foran No: <br /> MASSACHUSETTS HISTORICAL CC�SSION Lexington 450 <br /> Office of the Secretary, Boston <br /> Property Name: 87 Waltham Street <br /> Indicate each item on inventory form which is being continued below. <br /> ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE <br /> This is one of Lexington's first Mansard Style houses. Although the <br /> building is deteriorated, all of its original features remain: the slate roof <br /> with rows of hexagonal slates, the brackets at the eaves, the columned porch, <br /> the projecting window caps, and the rope moldings at the corners. In 1983 <br /> the owners requested a zoning change so that the building might be used for <br /> commercial purposes (it is just at the edge of the central business district) . <br /> The petition was denied, but evidently the owners intend to save it, for in <br /> April 1984 staging was put up and repairs begun. <br /> BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES <br /> 1875 atlas <br /> 1889 atlas <br /> 1906 atlas <br /> 1887 Directory <br /> 1894 Directory <br /> 1899 Directory <br /> 1906 Directory <br /> Staple to Inventory form at bottom <br />
