INVENTORY FORM CONTINUATION SHEET Community: Form No: <br /> MASSACHUSETTS HISTORICAL CCRAISSION Lexington 442 <br /> Office of the Secretary, Boston <br /> Property Name: 36 Forest Street <br /> Indicate each item on inventory form which is being continued below. <br /> ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE (continuation sheet 2) <br /> originally like that of the house at 39 Highland Avenue which retains trim <br /> similar to that shown in the illustration including the diagonal stickwork under <br /> the raking eave at the end of the porch. <br /> It is useful to have this documentation of the source of one of Washburn's <br /> designs. Washburn built a number of houses on speculation and may have copied <br /> or purchased designs for the others from similar sources. A check of all issues <br /> of the Scientific American-Architects and Builders Edition should be undertaken <br /> to determine if Washburn used more designs illustrated in the magazine. <br /> BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES <br /> Mitchell, Eugene, compiler.
