INVENTORY FORM B CONTINUATION SHEET LEXINGTON 27 YORK STREET <br /> MASSACHUSETTS HISTORICAL COMMISSION Area(s) Form No. <br /> 220 MORRISSEY BOULEVARD,BOSTON,MASSACHUSETTS 02125 <br /> 2174 <br /> The present route of this section of York Street (as a public road) appears to have been established between 1918 and 1927, <br /> and possibly as early as 1906-18. The 1922 directory identifies three households on York Street, none of them with street <br /> numbers: Wilkinson Riley(no occupation identified)and his wife Martha A. Riley; F. Stetson Humphrey, a vocal teacher in <br /> Boston; and Herbert Stephens, who worked in the advertising business in Boston, and his wife Dawn Mills, who lived on York <br /> "near Grant." The 1934 and 1936 directories identify the property at 27 York as vacant in those years, but the List of Persons for <br /> 1935 identifies Ralph and Ann R. Downs at this address (no occupations listed). Subsequent residents included Norman C. <br /> O'Neill, in the Navy, and his wife Dorothy C., who worked at Raytheon, in 1945; James R. Merrill, an engineer, and his wife Anna <br /> M. in 1955; and Philip Lieberman, a scientist, and his wife Marcia in 1965. <br /> Further research is recommended to determine the early history and evolution of this building, including a possible affiliation with <br /> the Hayes estate. If connected with the Hayes estate, this house would be one of only two remaining Hayes estate buildings, <br /> the other being the former carriage house at 60 Meriam Street. <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 Comprehensive Cultural Resources Survey, Period Summaries. http://historicsurveV.Iexingtonma.gov/index.htm <br /> Accessed Jul 23, 2015. <br /> Lexington Directories: 1899, 1906, 1908-09, 1922, 1934, 1936. <br /> Lexington List of Persons: 1935, 1945, 1955, 1965. <br /> Massachusetts Historical Commission.
