INVENTORY FORM CONTINUATION SHEET Town Property Address <br /> Lexington 15 Belfry Terr. <br /> MASSACHUSETTS HISTORICAL COMMISSION Area(s) Form No. <br /> MASSACHUSETTS ARCHIVES BUILDING <br /> 683 <br /> 220 MORRISSEY BOULEVARD <br /> BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS 02125 <br /> HISTORICAL NARRATIVE (continued) <br /> Lexington;the town of Hudson, which was established in 1866,was named for him. In Lexington he was selectman from <br /> 1868 to 1875 and chairman of the Centennial committee in 1875. - <br /> After Hudson's death the house remained in his family into the 20th century. Then, in 1921 when the Hancock Church put <br /> on a rear addition, the Hudson house was moved back onto the extension of Forest St. that had been built in 1915 perhaps <br /> with the intention of continuing it through to Massachusetts Ave., although the selectmen denied it at the time. When the <br /> house was moved, the main block and ell were separated,the ell placed in its present location and the house at what is now <br /> 6 Belfry Terr. In 1927 Forest St. was extended to Massachusetts Ave., but as a continuation of the main part of Forest St. <br /> rather than of the arm built in 1915, and in 1928, in response to a petition from the residents of the former Forest St. <br /> extension,the name of that street was changed to Belfry Ten. In 1929 the former Hudson house ell was purchased by Paul <br /> Whipple and it seems particularly appropriate that his son, S. Lawrence Whipple, who is now the town historian, still lives ` <br /> in the house once occupied by Lexington's 19th-century historian. <br />
