INVENTORY FORM CONTINUATION SHEET Town Property Address <br /> LEXINGTON 27 ELIOT ROAD <br /> MASSACHUSETTS HISTORICAL COMMISSION Area(s) Form No. <br /> MASSACHUSETTS ARCHIVES BUILDING <br /> 220 MORRISSEY BOULEVARD 504 <br /> BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS 02125 <br /> HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE: <br /> Despite information contained in the 1984 form for this property, it appears that this house was constructed in 1899 for <br /> Dr. Charles P. Briggs, a Boston dentist. A brief mention in the Lexington Minute-Man on February 10, 1899 noted that <br /> two or three houses were to be built in the Mt. Vernon district in the spring including houses for Dr. Chas. P. Briggs and <br /> Charles Garrison(see 23 Eliot Road). (No evidence of a Stowell connection to the house was noted—the information <br /> cited may instead refer to the George Stowell House at 5 Pelham Road.) Dr. Charles and his wife, Gertrude, continued to <br /> live at 27 Eliot Road until at least 1942. <br /> BIBLIOGRAPHY: <br /> Lexington Directories,various dates. <br /> Lexington Minute-Man,Feb. 10, 1899. <br /> Supplement prepared by: <br /> Lisa Mausolf <br /> January 2009 <br />
