It notes that there were at that writing, <br /> fourteen new houses in different stages of construction and notes"We looked over the new house being built by Mr. J.E. <br /> Hodgman on the corner of Forest and Waltham streets, a few days ago. It is pretty as well as nice. It is finished <br /> throughout with hard wood, and is fitted with all modern conveniences. Its location is quite pleasant, and fills out the <br /> corner in good shape. It is the fourth house Mr.H. has erected,two being already sold. He is to build one of more <br /> houses upon his land beyond his own residences". <br /> BIBLIOGRAPHY: <br /> Lexington Minute-Man,March 29, 1873. <br /> Supplement prepared by: <br /> Lisa Mausolf <br /> February 2009 <br />
