INVENTORY FORM B CONTINUATION SHEET LEXINGTON I 1 GRANT PLACE <br /> MASSACHUSETTS HISTORICAL COMMISSION Area(s) Form No. <br /> 220 MORRISSEY BOULEVARD,BOSTON,MASSACHUSETTS 02125 <br /> 0 2122 <br /> extends at an acute angle from Grant Street. Between 1927 and 1935, the original stub of Grant Place was joined by the <br /> Sherman Street Extension, apparently just a road on paper, which extended perpendicular to Grant Street and is shown as 50 <br /> feet wide and connecting with Oakland Street. By 1950, the Sherman Street Extension was renamed Grant Place, but was still <br /> just hypothetical. <br /> 2-4 Grant Street appears on its current site by 1918; 11 Grant Place by 1950. Two buildings at what is now the end of Grant <br /> Place (a side by side duplex and a single-family dwelling) are also in place by 1918; the present pair of buildings there may be <br /> re-workings of those two early residences. A house at the head of Grant Street (#22, apparently extant), facing Sherman Street, <br /> was standing here by 1927. <br /> The present house at 11 Grant Street is first definitely shown in its current location in 1950. Despite not being depicted on <br /> earlier maps, the 1922 directory identifies two residents at 11 Grant Place: Mrs. Mary Vollborth (no occupation) and Pauline M. <br /> Vollborth, a clerk. (Mrs. Vollborth may have lived here as early as 1894, when the town directory has an entry for her with the <br /> street address"west of Grant nr railroad." Ida Vollborth, at the Keeley Institute, was boarding with her in that year.) Subsequent <br /> residents identified at this address include Joseph T. DeGrinney, a credit manager, and (his mother?) Ellen F. DeGrinney <br /> (1935); Thomas Scheni, a gardener, his wife Maria, and presumably their son Michael, employed in roadwork, and daughter <br /> Judy, a clerk (1955 and 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: 1894, 1899, 1902, 1908-09, 1922, 1924, 1930, 1934, 1936, 1942. <br /> Lexington List of Persons: 1935, 1945, 1955, 1960, 1965. <br /> Massachusetts Historical Commission.
