INVENTORY FORM CONTINUATION SHEET Town Property Address <br /> LEXINGTON 5 STETSON ST. <br /> MASSACHUSETTS HISTORICAL COMMISSION Area(s) Form No. <br /> MASSACHUSETTS ARCHIVES BUILDING <br /> 220 MORRISSEY BOULEVARD 391 <br /> BOSTON,MASSACHUSETTS 02125 <br /> HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE: <br /> According to a brief notice found in the Lexington Minute-man on February 2, 1894, "Mr. Fred L. Emery's new house on <br /> Stetson street is conspicuous from almost any point of view in the town. It has a remarkably fine outlook and is a rare <br /> location in that it is but a few steps from the centre of the town and yet has the advantages of a detached estate without <br /> the usual accompanying disadvantages". An announcement of the wedding of Fred Emery and Grace Harrington <br /> appearing in the Minute-man on June 1, 1894 noted that their new house on Stetson Street had just been completed. Fred <br /> and Grace Emery continued to live here into the 1930s. Grace Emery was a Christian Scientist practioner. Their son <br /> Leland was living here with his wife Lillian in 1942. <br /> BIBLIOGRAPHY: <br /> Lexington Directories,various dates. <br /> Lexington Minute-Man,February 2, 1894; June 1, 1894. <br /> Middlesex County Register of Deeds, Cambridge,Mass. <br /> U.S. Census Records, 1900-1930. <br /> Supplement prepared by: <br /> Lisa Mausolf <br /> June 2009 <br />
