INVENTORY FORM CONTINUATION SHEET Town Property Address <br /> Lexington 52 Lowell St. <br /> MASSACHUSETTS HISTORICAL COMMISSION Area(s) Form No. <br /> MASSACHUSETTS ARCHIVES BUILDING <br /> 220 MORRISSEY BOULEVARD 657 <br /> BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS 02125 <br /> HISTORICAL NARRATIVE (continued) <br /> After Oliver Winship's death in 1874 the house was owned by his son Charles F.Winship (b. 1828)and then by William R. <br /> Shay. The Winship/Shay farm was then acquired, reportedly beginning in 1919,by four Busa brothers,who had emigrated <br /> from Sicily. The Busas raised produce which they took into Boston every day to sell at the Faneuil Hall Produce Market, <br /> eventually consolidating their farms as Sun Valley Farms. After several decades, one brother,John, operated the farm;he <br /> opened a farm stand in Lexington in 1960 though continued to take produce to Boston until 1975. John's sons, Fran and <br /> Denis Busa, now operate the farm,which since 1993 has been called Busa Farm. The farm still produces vegetables, <br /> particularly corn and tomatoes, and is one of only two farms remaining in Lexington where crops are still grown(the other <br /> is Wilson Farms at the corner of Massachusetts Ave. and Pleasant St.) <br />
