INVENTORY FORM B CONTINUATION SHEET LEXINGTON 12 CRESCENT HILL AVE. <br /> MASSACHUSETTS HISTORICAL COMMISSION Area(s) Form No. <br /> 220 MORRISSEY BOULEVARD,BOSTON,MASSACHUSETTS 02125 <br /> 0 2215 <br /> 12 Crescent Hill Avenue first appears on the historic maps between 1898 and 1906, although its footprint in the latter year is not <br /> an exact match to the present. Alfred Crosby is the first known owner and resident of the property; he is identified here in 1906. <br /> Born in England, Crosby was a furniture maker and repairer. He lived in the house with his wife Sarah, also born in England, <br /> and their four children at least through 1922. Subsequent residents included John Podmore, a book finisher, his wife Adeline, <br /> and a grown daughter, a clerk (1935). For many years afterward, the house was occupied by the Harvey family, consisting of <br /> Russell (insulation business and carpenter), his wife Marjory, and at various times their four sons (including a member of the <br /> Marines, a draftsman, sheet metal worker, and meteorologist) and a daughter-in-law(1945, 1955, 1965). <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 Directories: 1899, 1908-09, 1922, 1934, 1936 <br /> Lexington List of Persons: 1935, 1945, 1955, 1965. <br /> Massachusetts Historical Commission.
